Build story
I found this 47 ford buried deep in the black berry bushes and i had to save it. The truck started life as a 2 1/2 ton. I wanted to build a rat rod truck that can got to car shows and still haul and tow. I traded and collected parts for building this truck. And the best part is the dodge that the frame donated had the correct ford script flat bed. I built the truck in a tarp shed in my yard and it took me 4 months to build.
