And only about half of them have anything to do with this thread!

Im also guessing if you called that sweet yellow truck a "rat rod" to the owners face he may correct you & you would walk away wondering why he sounded so pissed when he told you that...

I would call it a rat rod, just because those wheels look like rat rod kind of wheels, IMO.

Here is mine - A little patina, primer, and newer paint all wrapped up into one. Just need a shop logo now. This is a neat thread for those who see the potential in any old pickup......

That LT1 6 speed is just too cool.

I do have to agree with corn though, there's a bunch of trucks that don't fall into that catagory.

This one for example, it is in no way is a patina'd, shop logo'd, or rusty truck.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

I've seen a few people asking what exactly "patina" is. Never associated it with trucks until now, but I do see what you guys are talking about. I always associated it with other old things like furniture.

Here's a definition from a collectible coin site:
A surface film found on coins (usually brown or green) caused by oxidation over a long period of time.

From a leather tanning site:
The aura or luster that develops in a quality piece of leather with age.

From a jewelry site:
The change in an object's surface resulting from natural aging due to wear and oxidation.

From an architecture site:
The natural finish on a wood or metal surface that results from age and polishing.

The best succinct definition I ran across:
the mellow, timeworn look of a surface

I suspect that for some of the older ones among us, our old trucks evoke nostalgia of times when things were more right with the world, when trucks were trucks, and first dates. Sometimes I get the urge to fire up John Cougar's "Jack and Diane" when I see a really nice old truck that fires up those feelings.

Additionally, this thread is an enjoyable read, looking at the diverse tongue-in-cheek creativity displayed in the different rides. Keep those pictures coming!
