If you do a bank to bank transfer, I will release the truck, AFTER the transfer clears.This truck will be missed, it's the coolest thing I've ever owned. Thank you for checking out my baby.

IMPORTANT....the above listing is the original post from the guy I bought this from over a year ago. Just wanted to make everyone aware of the time & money he put into this truck. I am moving out of the country so sadly I need to sell the truck. I am taking a huge risk by making this a NO RESERVE auction so please only serious bidders only.

The only thing this truck needs is to have the carbs adjusted. It wants to stall out until it gets warmed up. It's not a big deal but just want to make sure everyone is aware.

I will not release the truck until all funds are paid in full.

Please ask all questions or call 513-212-7150 before bidding. It has dents and dings as a rat rod should. Truck is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sold as is with no warranty's.

Good luck to all!

It's one loud bad ass truck and will be missed!
