Rat Rods - Galerie

1934 Ford Rat Hot Rod pickup With a story. It was originally purchased at Vermillian Garage.
It was used haul beer from the Peoples Brewery in Duluth back to Skalas Bar in Tower MN.
I have copies of a 3 page hand written letter from Jack Skala talking about goin on all day rides with his uncle.
He tells a very interesting story about a time he was hit in the head with a horse shoe while standing in the bed of this truck.
Kinda cool considering the truck has several horse shoes incorporated in the build before he wrote the letter telling the story.
He also sent a copy of a picture of his uncle next to the original truck.
The truck has been is several magazines.

magnifique ce pick up

C'étais à mon avis une belle machine que le propriétaire suivant à complètement dénaturé en changeant la calandre (c'était les photos du bon coin)

pas si sur, ça me dis quelque chose, elle n'étais pas passée dans powerglide en projet

Si il est passé sur Powerglide afin de présenter son créateur, mais c'est ensuite qu'il est passé sur le Bon Coin (ce sont les photos de l'annonce ) et par la suite il est réapparu avec une calandre trop haute et une cloison pare feu en vielle planche tu vois la genre dans des photos de compte rendu de concentres du Sud (sur Kruzin me semble t'il)
