I'm a very well known Truck Builder here in Jacksonville
and I have a great reputation. I have to tell you this because there
is no way that you would believe me otherwise. Chances are you've
seen one of my piles of crap and become violently ill. I built this
one of kind Crap Rod S-10 last year. It's completely rebuilt from
end to end although you may not be able to identify which end is
more hideous. It absolutely runs perfect and a joy to drive, people
point and stare everywhere I go. I broke this new motor in right,
it has been abuse to crap and even still has the oil that was in the
pan from the junkyard 85 Z28 that it came out of. now at 20,000
miles, it rattles more than a Cummins and upon start up it resembles
Casey Jones locomotive. It's a Monster to start and with the non
existent Over Drive you can go anywhere so people can vomit in the
street. You have to see, hear and drive this truck, pictures won't make
your stomach churn nearly as hard as seeing this in person.
I just gave it a custom Candy Apple Red paint job. It really is the
best part of this thing. It's ready for a new home. Come check
it out, I'm in Callahan.....and out of my mind!

-400 HORSE when you add a 250hp shot of nitrous, VORTEX ROLLER MOTOR It was the 5.0 HO so you know it is faaaasssssssttttttt!!!!!!!
-350 TURBO TRANSMISSION ( automatic ) because I couldn't find the stick shift TH350
-355 GEARS IN THE REAR END ( over drive ) because I think that your stupid if you made it this far I'm calling this an over drive. GOOD ON GAS! When it spends most of the time on the back of a tow truck it rarely needs the tank filled!
-HEADERS what more do I need to say? The rest of the exhaust doesn't matter.
-1934 FORD GRILL AND RADIATOR ( runs cold ) I stole it.
-16 GAL. FUEL CELL / HOLLY RED FUEL PUMP It used to be a blue pump but after a Krylon touch up it is just as good as any fancy fuel pump out there,
- LOWERED 6" WITH 22" WHEELS I think that springs should be torched for a softer ride. I looked for the cheapest wheels that I could find on craigslist and here they are!
-CUSTOM IN DASH GAUGES The don't work but they are there!
-NEW PAINT ( candy apple red ) because Pepto Bismol Pink was too obvious
-BODY AND MOTOR MOVED BACK 18 INCHES ( gives it that rat rod look ) and because I don't have the slightest clue what I am doing.
-STILL HAS IT'S TRUCK BED. I couldn't find a shopping cart to use so instead I built this!

I'M GIVING IT AWAY FOR 10 GRAND because no one called at 30K, 25K, 20K, 18K, 16K, 15K, 14K, 13K $12,500, 11K........

Ha! I didn't read his ad that far.

I was thinking he was selling off all his spare parts put together in one self hauling package for your convenience.

It is a shame what a rat rod is today, when is started out to be a grate hot rod. The 1960s Chevy Corvette 427 was the original rat engine. Very quickly all Chevy big block engines became known as rat motors, (but, the 1960s Vette 427 was the real rat motor) so the original rat rod had a big block Chevy engine in it, and that is what made it a rat rod, not some crappy ragged out thing, found in some barn some where, that looks like rats lived in it, and all that has been done is to get it running. So because some idiot some where that didn't know crap about crap, and thought a rat rod was something rats lived in or at least looked like that, then duh that must be a rat rod. Well duh is rite.
