Been looking for ideas and i think i may wanna go this route, any ideas? I want the rusty beat up jdm look kinda like this

 

oh you mean a 30+ year old truck that has been used and used well?

 

do you want to fully rat it out, or just going for a "well used" look?

 

Eh kinda, best way to describe it would be ratrod/rusty/jdm that sorta thing that pic is kinda what im leaning to

 

I googled imaged .. Jap trash .wow mixed results .. All I got was trannys< yea the bad kind earthquakes and land fields .. Best bet slam it add some 4x4 fenders and some low offset deep dish wheels .. Rock the faded paint . Classic results

 

I figured I'd have to lose the tc wheels, maybe find some cheap 15" and rough the paint up

 

Alrighty. Though that picture doesnt appear to be very rusty, most of what I see in that pic can be done with some sandpaper. Sand down the body (lightly, in non-uniform directions, not too heavy a grit) to get the dull finish, focusing more of your dulling efforts on the panels that would get the most sun/rain weathering (any surface facing up).

If you want dents, add those with a hammer or let a teenager drive it.

A true ratrod look would be rusty, not just here and there, but rusty from where the body meets the frame to the window sill (or farther up), with an added rust anywhere water can pool. Done right, a two-tone of rust and paint is hot.

+1 on adding 4x4 fenders.

 

If u want some cheap but decent 15s check our nextlevelmotoring.com xxr wheels cheap and decent lookin wheels tons of offsets to chose from

 

Awesome, thanks for the tips im gonna get started

That red truck is sweet, my rolled yellow 76 is going that route also, I think they look great perfect but something about it just looks so good with lots of honest wear and tear!

 

step1. find old toyota
step2. drag old toyota onto trailer[or drive home-depending]
step3. add speed parts
step4. slam
step5. enjoy

 

Drift pickup style for the win. But in my opinion, don't use sand paper, use scotch brite pads and plenty of water to scrub the paint. Use soap and degreaser as necessary. 15 inch mesh wheels, fender mirrors and boso pipes!

 

Again, GOOGLE!
