I know, I know, I claimed I’d publish far more of this 1950 Ford COE just around a 7 days in the past. My bad, I acquired a very little distracted. I’ll expose why before long. But, get these extra pictures of my penance.
This truck, recognized as the Flat Rat hails from Keswick Ontario and was crafted by it is proprietor Scott Badger (@keswickscott).
Scott has owned the truck cab about ten many years now. Factors truly obtained heading on the truck about five years in the past, with considerable development remaining made through the pandemic.
From driving the tilt taxi to wherever the customized 4-backlink begins is most of a widened Chevy 3500 chassis. Forward of the front wheels is mainly manufacturing unit Ford with signficant modifications finished to make the steering perform at the truck’s new peak.
The motor is a 7.3L Powerstroke with a T4 turbo upgrade backed by an computerized transmission.
Scott managed to maintain as a great deal original as he could, but he did have to exchange a little bit of sheet metal in this article and on the taxi. The new additions have been sprayed by Scott in possibly white or purple.
Scott and his son also produced all 11 toes of the bed from scratch.
Absolutely nothing far more than an English wheel and a Princess Car bead roller was employed in the bed construction.
In actuality, the complete truck was created in a somewhat humble house garage. Proving once all over again that wherever there’s a will there’s a way when it arrives to do-it-on your own fabrication. One thing that surely delivered a little bit of motivation for my have job.
The tailgate of the truck is basically a 2nd COE entrance conclusion that has been modified to create a tailgate. Scott stuffed the grill, created it hinge and took the Tremendous Duty embossing from a late product ford.
“If this is not Tremendous Responsibility I do not know what is,” Scott claimed.
For the eagle-eyed, of course the tail lights are rotated versions from a 65 Ford Mustang, Very clever if you request me.
Naturally, this truck is really much up my alley and I hope to see more of it once again quickly.
Ontario is back jamming again and I’m absolutely right here for it!
