LOW BUDGET 50

THIS TRUCK HAS HAD A LONG LIFE AND VARIOUS ROLES IN THAT LIFE. FROM A WORK TRUCK FOR A ROOFING COMPANY TO MY DAD USING IT ON MY GRANDPARENTS DAIRY. I WAS TOLD AS A LITTLE BOY THAT THE TRUCK WAS MINE WHEN I WAS OLD ENOUGH. I REMEMBER SPENDING HOURS ON END PRETENDING I WAS CRUISING THE OLD GIRL DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOW MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE. LOW BUDGET 50 CAME ABOUT WITH THE WANT TO FINISH THE TRUCK BUT A LIMITED BUDGET. RAT RODS FIT THAT BILL. IT WAS RE DONE FROM THE FRAME UP WITH MODERN SUSPENSION AND BRAKES. NEW SMALL BLOCK 327 AND 700R4. AIR SUSPENSION SALVAGED FROM A LINCOLN MARK 7 GIVES THE OLD GIRL A LAYING IN THE WEEDS STANCE. THE LOOK OF AN OLD FARM TRUCK BUT THE RIDE AND DRIVABILITY OF A NEW CAR. THIS TRUCK IS ALSO FITTED WITH A CUSTOM SET OF PROPANE FED FLAME THROWERS BUILT BY MINTER FAB. CHECK THEM OUT AT https://youtu.be/FGjGdHI8yY4
