    I saw this at the annual Gasket Goons meet...

    Meet Dumpster; The body is from a 1933 Ford pickup, and that's what it's titled as, but the frame and all of the mechanical parts come from a 1980s Toyota pickup, including the fuel injected 22R engine and 5-speed manual transmission!

    Since this unique ride is has one of the most bulletproof drivetrains in existence, it is obviously very reliable; However, the heavily chopped and channeled body and the lack of creature comforts like A/C, heat, and a radio, don't exactly make it practical for daily driver duty...

    The owner says he feels claustrophobic if he drives it for more than 30 minutes at a time (he trailered it to this show); Despite its impracticality, it is totally street legal!

    I think this truck is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, but the interior is far from comfortable...

    The seams from chopping the top were left visible, in keeping with the rat rod look...

    That is too cool! Rat rods are great! It looks like the same welder who welds Toyota frames did the cab welding, and they need bigger hardware for the custom tonneau cove

    It has fuel injection, a 5-speed transmission, and front disc brakes, but that's about it; No power steering, no power brakes, no A/C, no heat, no radio, no padded seats, and no gauges or instrumentation...

    It has a title and is street legal, but the owner admits that it is rather uncomfortable to drive and is really more of a showpiece!
