I know, I know, I mentioned I’d article much more of this 1950 Ford COE just around a 7 days in the past. My negative, I bought a tiny distracted. I’ll reveal why shortly. But, consider these added images of my penance.
This truck, recognized as the Flat Rat hails from Keswick Ontario and was developed by it’s operator Scott Badger (@keswickscott).
Scott has owned the truck taxi about 10 many years now. Matters seriously acquired heading on the truck about five several years in the past, with considerable development being created throughout the pandemic.
From powering the tilt taxi to wherever the tailor made four-website link starts is most of a widened Chevy 3500 chassis. Ahead of the entrance wheels is primarily factory Ford with signficant modifications finished to make the steering do the job at the truck’s new height.
The motor is a 7.3L Powerstroke with a T4 turbo upgrade backed by an computerized transmission.
Scott managed to hold as considerably first as he could, but he did have to replace a bit of sheet metal in this article and on the cab. The new additions ended up sprayed by Scott in possibly white or pink.
Scott and his son also made all 11 toes of the bed from scratch.
Very little far more than an English wheel and a Princess Car bead roller was employed in the mattress building.
In actuality, the total truck was constructed in a rather humble residence garage. Proving once once again that wherever there is a will there is a way when it comes to do-it-your self fabrication. Something that surely supplied a bit of inspiration for my possess task.
The tailgate of the truck is actually a next COE entrance close that has been modified to make a tailgate. Scott filled the grill, manufactured it hinge and took the Tremendous Duty embossing from a late model ford.
“If this isn’t Super Obligation I really don’t know what is,” Scott said.
For the eagle-eyed, of course the tail lights are rotated versions from a 65 Ford Mustang, Fairly intelligent if you ask me.
Of course, this truck is quite significantly up my alley and I hope to see a lot more of it yet again soon.
Ontario is back again jamming yet again and I’m unquestionably listed here for it!
