Sharply Cut 1966 Chevrolet Rat Vette Pickup Hides 2001 Corvette Inside

What you see is the severely dented and sharply cut body of a 3/4-ton Chevrolet C20 pickup truck from the year 1966. There are no fenders to embrace the wheels, the rear goes straight down until it nearly touches the ground, and at the front, the round headlights seem to float between the bumper and the reverse-tilt hood. Also, the body is shorter than it used to be, in order to be a perfect match for the Corvette underside.

Because what you don't see is this is actually a sports car of sorts. The truck rides on staggered wheels, 17 and 18 inches in size, and they spin under the power of the LS1 engine that initially belonged to the same C5 Corvette. The suspension, brakes, and even the wheels are also the ones originally deployed on the American icon.

The interior is weird to say the least, blending parts of a ‘Vette dashboard (including exposed wiring) with bucket seats, a center console, and a tilt steering wheel.

The truck is described as one that handles pretty well and is fun to drive, but even the builders themselves make no secret of the fact this build is pure danger on wheels (check the video below for more). The dash is lit up with warning lights, air comes in from everywhere, and if it were to rain, so would water.

So, what’s the deal with it? The truck is for sale, and the ones waiting to get rid of it want $17,900. Why? Because “it’s a canvas,” and you could do anything with it.
