This 1948 Ford pickup is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom.
Rat Rods have been around since the early 70's but have recently
gone mainstream. With there over the top I don't care what you
think style they usually get more attention than a custom show car.
This 48 Ford truck was built to drive and get a bunch thumbs up as
you go down the road. The body of the truck is in great shape with
the satin green really getting people to look twice. With the front
grill coming from a 450 Case dozer you can be certain you won't
have to worry about pulling up to another one at the stoplight. The
front end has been painted bright red a great accent against that
flat green. The flaming river steering box allows for a better feel
of the road making the steering more precise. The speedway front
calipers work great stopping this ole truck faster than anything in
1948. Under the take-off hood is a rebuilt Chevy 307 that powers
this rod down the road just fine. The huge aluminum radiator keeps
that small block nice and cool with the electric fan being more of
a just in case thing. The huge headers with the collectors coming
out each side puts an exclamation point on this radical Rat.
Matched up to a rebuilt TH350 that shifts out just as you would
expect. The 10-bolt rear end handles the power nicely turning the
big back tires with ease. The extremely cool looking aluminum gas
tank mounted in the back is classic 60's era styling. Look inside
and a red vinyl bench seat really ties everything together. If you
have been wanting to get your hands on a cool ratrod but don't have
the time to build one, this 48 is ready to go. Options on this 1948
Ford Truck include, Custom Wheels with Hubcaps, Vinyl Interior, and
Radial Tires. To view this 1948 Ford Truck, including an HD video,
