    have any of you ever seen a 50's or 60's model truck, with the fenders removed and an old grill shell up front, like a model a rat rod, and if so did it look ok

    If you are looking for rat rods go to OSR. If you want traditional rods and customs then this is the place for you. 50's and 60's trucks without out fenders look like a girl without a pair of tits. It just ain't right.

  21. Okay, I just threw up a little in my mouth.


    Most of the 50's trucks have too wide and flat of a cowl/firewall to go fenderless with and look like anything but shit. Anyone remember the one posted a few months back from eBay or someplace, that had a '51 or so Ford F1 cab set way back close to the rear wheels and a suicide front end? Another prime (or is that primered with red wheels?) example.
