Brother Tom was right on the mark. This thing began its life as a 1937 Chevy. Thank you, Tom. I was counting on you.
The ever erudite McKee opined that:
“A conglomeration of different parts from different vehicles welded together is pretty much the definition of a “hot rod”. Left rough it would be a “rat rod”. That is a good lookin’ truck with a nice chop and channel. “Street rod” applies more to fifty’s and sixty’s stuff assuming that they’re not Kustom or Low rider.
I take his word. He would know.
