hen it comes to a classic rat rod, look no further
than Tuttle, Oklahoma’s Dean Moore, who built
this sweet ’49 Ford F-1 pickup truck. Nothing
Wtoo crazy, just an honest-to-goodness ol’ Ford.
He scored the cab from a buddy who no longer needed it.
The cab height remains stock, at least of the time being. We
hear that a top chop is in the works once Dean returns to Tuttle.
It has been channeled 10 ⁄2” over the frame.
