1937 Ford Pick-Up Hemi Truck Hot Rod Rat Rod

 1937 Ford Pick up truck. Runs great. No matter where the truck goes it attracts lots of attention. even driving down the highway. cars would slow down to take a look. The truck was driven 250 miles to the Lakeland Drag strip for the Billett Proof drags. then driven home the same day. with no issues.

This is a true one of a kind truck that is safe and has no issues.
Truck has a clear Florida title in my name.  
I am sure that I have missed numerous details that make this truck special.

Please email me thru Ebay with any questions.
