Originally this truck came with a single windshield wiper. Thats what it has now. except it's electric. I have a second one that goes with the truck in case you want two. But driving in the rain probably isn't something you'd do a lot with this truck anyway.

This truck is my version of what a rat rod should be. I didn't just throw together a bunch of what ever was laying around to make a pile of crap. People every where like this truck and you don't feel like you are driving a turd mobile.   Everything that matters was done right. Cab floors were over lapped to give it the rigidity I feel is right. Not to mention the floors are 11 gauge steel. Body and bed were mounted with  reinforced rubber spacers thru the original body mount holes. Suspension was done with no expense spared. Handles great. safe to drive at highway speeds. hauls ass and looks good.
 I didn't spend a great deal of time on the paint and finish body work- door seals because its a rat rod/ hot rod. not a trailer queen or parking lot decoration. I painted it red with Fleet farm Regal red enamel. some urethane hardner added. But if you have a scratch. a ding or need to touch it up. you can get regal red in a spray bomb. Plus if you decide to rat it up with your version of old/rusty what ever. you can make it the way you want without destroying an expensive pain job. I built this to enjoy. not sit in a garage.
The bed floor is made from a single sheet of 1/8" diamond plate steel with two hinged traps. one to access the battery. the other to to fuel cell. Both sit flush with the rest of the floor. Painted flat black and bolted down with black button head allen bolts. Easy enough to undo if a wood slat bed is your desire.

This truck is an awesome ride. handles like it's on rails and everyone wants to check it out. Sounds great. also legal limit on rumble. very fast but drives nice too.
But remember the body was lowered 7" between the hinges. nbsp; I am 6'1". 268 lbs. I am 62 years old and pretty beat up. Getting in or out of this truck is not a big deal for me. but if you are 6'5" and 300 lbs. it probably won't be so easy. For anyone under 5'10" no problem. under 5'10" it's a breeze.
This truck was professionally built by American Steel Smiths LLC Custom fabricating sh
