I know, I know, I reported I’d article more of this 1950 Ford COE just over a week back. My terrible, I obtained a very little distracted. I’ll expose why soon. But, get these supplemental shots of my penance.
This truck, recognised as the Flat Rat hails from Keswick Ontario and was designed by it’s operator Scott Badger (@keswickscott).
Scott has owned the truck taxi about ten several years now. Points really bought likely on the truck about five years ago, with substantial development remaining built during the pandemic.
From powering the tilt cab to wherever the custom made four-backlink begins is most of a widened Chevy 3500 chassis. Ahead of the front wheels is mainly manufacturing unit Ford with signficant modifications done to make the steering get the job done at the truck’s new height.
The motor is a 7.3L Powerstroke with a T4 turbo enhance backed by an computerized transmission.
Scott managed to hold as a lot original as he could, but he did have to substitute a little bit of sheet metallic listed here and on the taxi. The new additions were being sprayed by Scott in both white or purple.
Scott and his son also manufactured all 11 feet of the bed from scratch.
Nothing additional than an English wheel and a Princess Automobile bead roller was made use of in the bed development.
In reality, the full truck was built in a instead humble household garage. Proving once once more that the place there’s a will there’s a way when it arrives to do-it-you fabrication. A thing that absolutely delivered a bit of drive for my very own task.
The tailgate of the truck is truly a second COE front stop that has been modified to build a tailgate. Scott filled the grill, produced it hinge and took the Super Duty embossing from a late product ford.
“If this is not Super Responsibility I don’t know what is,” Scott mentioned.
For the eagle-eyed, sure the tail lights are rotated variations from a 65 Ford Mustang, Really clever if you check with me.
Obviously, this truck is extremely a lot up my alley and I hope to see more of it all over again quickly.
Ontario is back jamming again and I’m absolutely here for it!
