So this is not a running ride yet, still requires a lot of work.Body is mounted to the frame but the body is typical old vehicle, it's not perfect but it's perfect for a rat. The door bottoms are rusty, the cab corners are a little rusty (but no gaping holes).I can provide any more pictures on request.I've got the original seat bottom frame (adjustable).Includes a set of vintage ladder bars for your next project and a pair of 32-34 ford wire wheels.
