This T-bucket hot rod is a running and driving project that was built approximately two decades ago using a fiberglass body mounted to a custom-fabricated steel frame, and it remained with a single family until 2022. Power comes from a Chevrolet big-block 454ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 9” rear end, and the car rides on transverse leaf springs with a drilled front drop axle and wishbones as well as a live rear axle with ladder bars. The incomplete interior features a Lokar shifter and AutoMeter gauges, and additional highlights include keg-style fuel tank, side exhaust pipes, 15” multi-piece wheels, front disc brakes, an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Hilborn-style air scoop, and MSD ignition components. This Ford hot rod project was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025 and is now offered at no reserve in California with a Wisconsin title listing it as a 2006 HOMEMADE.

The fiberglass body is finished in red, and an aluminum beer keg has been modified to serve as the fuel tank. Other details include a polished windshield frame, side exhaust pipes, and lantern-style blue-dot taillights.

The Chevrolet big-block 454ci V8 is equipped with an Edelbrock Torker 2-0 intake manifold, a single carburetor topped with a Hilborn-style air scoop, an MSD distributor and Blaster 2 ignition coil, and headers linked to side pipes.

Multi-piece 15” wheels have gold-finished centers and are wrapped in 185/65 Hercules MR IV tires up front and Hoosier Quick Time Pro slicks out back. The suspension incorporates transverse leaf springs, a drilled front drop axle and wishbones, and a live rear axle supported by ladder bars. Braking is handled by front discs with Wilwood calipers in addition to rear drums.

The cockpit features two molded-in seats, and a Lokar shifter has been installed. The seat cushions are missing, though hook-and-loop strips remain in place.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column and sits ahead of AutoMeter instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 3,700 miles, which is believed to be the total mileage on the build.

The three-speed automatic transmission is believed to have been built with a shift kit, and it is linked to a 9” rear end.

The car is titled as a 2006 HOMEMADE using the Wisconsin Assigned VIN 10000000000003366WI. The title lists “Exempt from Odometer Disclosure” as an additional detail.

This six-wheeled, COE-style vehicle was built by Aaron Buck of Milk Man Concepts using steel bodywork mounted to a fabricated tubular chassis. Dubbed “Cab Over Evolved”, it rides on Slam Specialties air springs and is powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins 6BT turbodiesel inline-six linked to a four-speed automatic transmission. A hand-formed dashboard was built for the interior, which features leather upholstery, a Lokar shifter, and Veethree gauges. Other highlights include 24” and 28” wheels, an independent front suspension, dual rear axles with a triangulated four-link setup, and disc brakes. Completed in 2021 and acquired by the selling dealer earlier this year, this custom six-wheeler is now offered with a clean Carfax report and a Florida title listing it as a 1991 Dodge D200.

“Cab Over Evolved” was inspired by Hot Wheels diecast models depicting vehicles with flamboyant designs similar to the creations of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth. A Ford pickup steel body was used to construct the cab. The roof was chopped and lengthened, while the fenders were extended and connected to the running boards.

The back panel features integrated mounts for the teardrop taillights, and individual fenders were formed for the rear wheels. House of Kolor blue paint was applied to the bodywork, and an airbrushed faux patina was added along with copper accents and graphics.

A triangular grille is bisected by a vertical spear, which is flanked by elongated overriders on the split front bumper. Shaved doors are mounted on concealed rear hinges. The vehicle does not have side windows.

The chassis was fabricated from steel tubing, and decorative elements were made for the rear suspension linkages. The chassis, side mirrors, and wheels have been finished in copper.

The 24×8” front and 28×11” rear wheels are decorated bullet-style nuts, and they are wrapped in a mixed set of 255/30 and 295/25 tires, respectively. The truck has an independent front end using tubular upper and lower control arms along with 2004 Dodge Dakota spindles, ThorBros bushings, and Dodge Ram D250 shocks, and the middle 2004 Dodge Dakota axle and rear 2002 Durango axle have triangulated four-link setups. Slam Specialties air springs were used all around, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs; the undriven rear axle does not have brakes.

The cabin features a contoured dashboard fascia and center console that are painted to match the body, and the bucket seats are trimmed in leather that extends to the headliner, rear bulkhead, and door panels. A Lokar shifter has been installed along with a Painless four-position headlight switch.

The three-spoke steering wheel is finished in copper along with the instrument bezels. A central 120-mph speedometer is surrounded by Veethree auxiliary gauges. The speedometer and fuel level gauge do not work.

A “killer dowel pin” repair kit was installed during the build along with a Holset HX35 turbocharger, a rebuilt injection pump, Bosch fuel injectors, and a Painless wiring harness. The valve cover and intercooler pipes were finished in copper, and high-temperature silver paint and ceramic coating were applied to other portions of the drivetrain.

Power is sent to the middle pair of wheels through a 46RH four-speed automatic transmission.

The vehicle is titled using the VIN 1B7KE26C0MS360063, which is consistent with a 1991 Dodge Ram 250. The Carfax report for that VIN shows no accidents or other damage.
