DELIVERANCE ~ 1947 Ford Pro-Street Rat Rod Pickup

This is no ordinary Rat Rod. It was designed and built by an experienced Winston Cup race car builder. The build was completed with race-quality parts front-to-rear for superior performance and reliability. “DELIVERANCE” was completed in March 2012.

The frame was hand-built with 4-link and double-adjustable (compression & rebound) shocks. The hood is a lift-off with 3 pins. The taillights are ’40 Ford replicas. The rear wheels are Valken polished aluminum with Hoosier Pro Street 31×18.5R156LT’s.
