Vehicle Description
A good rat rod is all about a speedy build with a craftsman's
touch. So not only is it cool that this 1941 Ford Pickup has the
proper rat rod treatment, but also the supercharged V8 and
four-wheel disc brakes makes sure it lives up to the driving
experience, too.
Rat rod culture is rooted with hot rods. So this one has the right
look with the open engine bay, deleted trim, and chopped &
channeled cab. The matte black has a true mean attitude that isn't
afraid to do battle on the streets, and the flame-style skulls on
the doors emphasizes that feeling. There's even thoughtfully
coordinated style done in the rat rod way. The bold red firewall
looks good with the rustic red paint accenting the cab. And they
both go with the 15-inch red steel wheels. These look good with
their two-piece trim and extra wide rear set to show were the
rubber meets the road.
There's a ton more red awaiting you inside. While a rat rod can
often be give you nothing but a cold steel interior, this one
upgrades you in the right ways. For example, the industrial-style
carpeting on the doors and floor have the right look while also
giving you better insulation, and there's even sound padding on the
roof. The bench seat is pure hot rod cool with its two-tone style
and tuck & roll insert. The tall Lokar shifter, sports steering
wheel, and full gauge package can be considered rat rod luxuries,
and they are also very welcomed here.
This engine was made to be on display. The 350 cubic-inch block was
painted black to match the body, and the inserts on the air grabber
go with the red accents. Of course, what everyone will really be
pointing out is the Edelbrock 1559 supercharger that's
force-feeding this V8. Plus, it has more great performance pieces,
like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, MSD coil, and Patriot
headers feeding the growling side exhaust. And while a rat rod is
supposed to be made from spare parts, you can really see that there
are a ton of quality components here, including the serpentine belt
system, electric fan, steel braided lines, AN fittings, a fuel cell
in the truck bed. This has good driving features, like a
three-speed automatic transmission, and the Wizard Steer Clear
steering box allows for proper road feel without intruding on the
engine bay. Plus, there's firm stopping power in this supercharged
machine with four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the build that has a true rat rod style and power while
also offering you the right well-placed extras. Call today!!!
