I've seen some crazy rat rods. My favorites have always been ones built out of heavy duty trucks and combos that everyone else says is dumb. I like the idea of repurposing an otherwise useless piece of old iron. So go for it. The risk is there -- if something breaks, it may be harder to fix. But until it breaks, there's no reason not to use it, except your time to build it of course.
