What was the inspiration?
The 1941 has always been my favorite truck. The micro midgets were hauled in back of a truck back in the day instead of a trailer. That along with the fact that I have driven a midget race car inspired me to add the micro midget to the back of the truck.

Approximately 50 years

Run of the Mill Street Rodders Ohio Chapter

Vehicle history
Found the cab, in Athens County Ohio. Doors, front fenders and other pieces found here and there. The frame was a 69 Camarillo sub frame with custom made frame and a 1981 Corvette rear end. The bed was a new reproduction Mar-K.
Thanks to
Doug Stratton for painting the truck.
