I was wondering if this is worth the price they're asking for it?

And. what your opinion is of it, for how it looks.

1946 chevy panel van on 78 chevy 4x4 drivetrain runs and drives go anywhere
350 auto full time 4x4 make a great hunting or fishing rig or just a toy

i love how now rednecks think that total piece of sh-t means "rat-rod". a true rat-rod is a work of art requiring more time and effort than a shiny/beautiful hot-rod. with more time spent on the engine than the glossy finish. but still done beautifully inside and out, top to bottom

Some people have different opinions as to what is "art".

ah man, i can't rep you for that.... somebody rep this guy! lol

yeah i agree tho. rat rods are well built.

but that panel van listed above could be nice and fun...

i do however, resent the redneck comment... you some kind of yankee or something? come on man... the name calling? really?

Honestly, you are buying the frame and running gear, the body is junk from what I see.

...and cammeddrz knows what's up.

Ummm...............

Not gonna comment on the panel truck, since IMO, to each his own!

i love how now rednecks

But I can tell ya first hand, there ain't no "rednecks" in NoDak land....... speakin first hand since Uncle Sam saw fit to put me there for 14yrs (Minot AFB)..............there may be a few misplaced Canuks A, but if you wanta see "REDNECKS" ya gotta go to Wyoming or Colorado.:icon_twisted:

BTW: You can tell that panel isn't from ND, it's from Minnesota (Fargo/Morehead, twin cities), as Minidaks use salt, and NoDaks use sand... I can take you too a boneyard in Minot that has nothin but CLASSICS that don't have a spec of rust on em due to salt.

it looks like someone wanted their own type grave digger lol i've seen 2 amazing rat rods up close, yes if seen more but these are spectacular. and i know it takes a long time to do, the guy i know spent at least 2 years building it maybe less but it is completely custom, he even built the frame, shortened the body, and chopped it all on his own. set up the motor for it and built custom exhuast for it. has everything classic about it, copper lines, glass fuel filter, the tires sit as high as the roof haha. and hes done some crazy things, but i guess to each their own. with some work i bet that could be a nice looking vehicle

Real hotrod builders that build "rat-rod" style cars and trucks will find it offensive if you call it a rat-rod. They are hotrods plan and simple.
