Up for sale is my 1951 GMC Truckster Rat Truck.The frame is custom built from a 1980 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

Stockguages installed but not hooked up, Auxillary tach, fuel & temps guages installed and functional. Shifter is B&MMegashifter. This truck was constructed by myself from 2007 to 2009. This is the start of my sixth year driving it and ithas been extremely reliable. It steers very well due to strong straight frame and rack & pinion steering. It can ride alittle rough on crap roads but that is due to the heavy differential and tires on a relatively light body. truck weight is3440 with 1/2 tank gas. That is the price to pay for the cool look, but for a rat is drives real great, and it steers waybetter than any original 51 truck did. This is my first posting on Ebay so take it easy on me if I screw up, I'll do mybest to assist with questions and shipping help if need be. The truck is fully plated with antique plates and I drive itregularily. I am located in Regina Saskatchewan Canada, that is "Regina" not "Vagina" just to clarify :) For my Americanfriends reading this it is about a 2 1/2 hour drive directly north of your city of Plentywood Montana. It is not listedlocally only on Ebay cause it will depress the &^%* out of me to see someone else driving it here :(
