Offered here at a very reasonable reserve is my 1949 International Pickup RAT ROD OR HOT ROD however you want to classify it. I started with an old flat bed farm truck that I purchased right here at home. I sent the truck to Tim Hoskins in Redbird Kentucky. Tim is famous for bagging mini trucks and has several of his trucks featured in mini trucking magazine. Tim sub framed the front using a 1985 Monte Carlo front section with disc brakes. He then used the rear section of the Monte Carlo and sectioned it on to the center section of the original IH frame and Z'd it about 6 inches so you have the original 4 link set up and the original brakes and rear end from the 85. After that was professionally done I had him replace all the floor and he did a fantastic job including repairing the door jambs and getting the doors to open and close as they should. We made the bed from an assortment of good parts. The bed sides, headboard and tail gate came off one of my 67 GMC trucks and was rust free. We found a decent set of rear fenders off a 1949 Chevy truck. As the frame is about 6 inches shorter than stock we had to section a 6 inch section out of the center of the bed keeping all the bed stakes in place. Thanks go out to Doyle Frazier and little buddy Nathan at HWY 80 Auto Color for the body work and bed work and we have more to do. Next I had Tim channel the body down about 6 inches over the frame. The stance is near perfect as you can see from the photos. We dropped a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1980 Corvette and put an edelbrock aluminum intake on it and rebuilt the carb, new alternator, fuel pump and water pump and freshened it up a bit with M/T valve covers and new flex fan. We hooked the 350 motor up to a freshly reconditioned turbo 400 so you have a killer drive train. How about an old RAT that drives like an 85 Monte Carlo with plenty of power. As you can see from the photos we have done all the hard work. I have a brand new 11 line wiring harness ready to install which will run the lights, turn signals or whatever else you may want. The truck does start from the original key switch on the Monte Carlo steering column and all the original wiring is still in the column to wire up the turn signals. We planned on replacing the old Monte Carlo steering wheel with a smaller 3 spoke wheel. Holds 35-40 pounds oil pressure steady and around 170 degrees on the temp gauge. Truck runs great, stops great but will need lights hooked up to make road worthy and could use a set of new rubber for any long trips. I have left the decoration to you the buyer. I had intended to put Gulf Oil stickers on the doors and some lettering as it would look really cool on the new flat black paint, or just have it pin striped. Make it your own design. It draws a crowd now. Check out how low it sets. This would be an ideal candidate to bag and lay frame as it is only about 6 inches of the ground now. There is plenty of room under the good old Kentucky barn lumber oak bed to install an air tank and switches and tail gate works perfect as it should. Truck is on a current Kentucky clear title in my name and in hand ready to transfer and is titled a 1949 International. Many have said it reminds them of a Willy's truck or a 1940 Ford truck. Check out the original vintage Torq Thrust wheels 14x6 in the front and 15 x 10 in the rear - yeah 15 X 10" Tim installed a late model s-10 steering box instead of hooking up the original power steering and it actually feels like it is power steering. I hate to sale but have 2 other projects going now and don't really have time to devote to this great truck. With what little is left to do you could finish in 2-3 evenings and be ready to hit the shows. Plenty of room in the bed for lawn chairs, tents or whatever else you want to haul. The beer keg gas tank could be moved under the bed along with the original RC Cola aluminum coke cooler that holds the battery. OH yeah almost forgot - new brake lines, new fuel lines installed also. As I said, all the hard stuff is done. Most folks give you a couple of photos to make a decision - I took 34 of the truck. There is some minor rust shown at the bottom of the doors and the very back of the front fenders. We will continue to work on the truck this week while it is up for sale. I have a couple of things I want straightened out to make you a nice RAT ROD. BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT SOME THROWED TOGETHER PIECE OF JUNK HELD UP WITH BAILING WIRE AND DUCT TAPE. I PAID TIM $2,000 JUST TO DO THE FRAME WORK AND NEW FLOORS AND MOUNT THE MOTOR AND TRANS AND PUT IN NEW BRAKE AND GAS LINES AND BELIEVE ME THEY ARE DONE RIGHT.
