Default My new daily driver, 1968 Ford Rat Rod F-100...

I sold my F-350 so I needed something more sensible for daily driving other than the 993 or my Buell so now I'm driving this...

It's a '68 Ford Rat Rod F-100. Has original (but rebuilt) 360 engine with the 3 on the column transmission and "slightly" modified frame & suspension (no bags).

Sensible DD? Ha, nice! I dig a lot of the rat rod types, though...

Saw a cool one a few weeks ago in Toledo. It was an old chevy pickup with running boards and zoomies. It had air bags and would lay down on the running boards. It also had a nice big dirty rat in it.

Thanks guys, not your average ride to work for sure, if some of you think I'm nuts, you're not alone!

Oh yeah, the "C" section and the support bar for shocks that's done to the frame sticks out above the bed's bottom at least 8".
Good thing is it still has the suspension travel without the bags. Is pretty low though.

Nice!

I just sold my 7.3 F-350, it had train horns ( for Miami drivers) and yes, certainly a hoot!
