A spectacular, professionally built 1946 GMC Rat Rod, combining uncompromising hot rod styling with exceptional engineering and outstanding build quality. This is a genuine, full-steel-bodied truck that has been meticulously constructed and finished to an incredibly high standard, offering both show-winning presence and impressive reliability. Power comes from a brand-new crate 350ci Chevrolet small block V8 producing approximately 330bhp. Having covered just under 1,700 miles since installation, the engine is paired with a TH400 automatic transmission, electronic ignition and a four-barrel Holley carburettor, delivering effortless performance with the unmistakable soundtrack of a classic American V8.

The truck rides on a new custom chassis featuring So-Cal suspension, with stopping power provided by front disc brakes. A heavy-duty Ford 9-inch 12-bolt rear axle completes a drivetrain built to handle the power with ease. Beneath the custom rear bed sits a bespoke fuel tank, while the bed itself has been beautifully refurbished with new timber flooring. Inside, the cabin features bomber-style seats that are not only visually striking but genuinely comfortable, making this a Rat Rod that can be enjoyed on longer journeys as well as at shows.

The quality of the finish is exceptional. The bodywork was clear-coated by the Mercedes-AMG Formula One facility in Brackley, using the very same paint booth employed for the team's Formula One cars. The attention to detail continues underneath, with the underside presented to the same immaculate standard as the exterior.

The truck has recently undergone a comprehensive service, including fresh engine oil, transmission fluid and differential oil, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. It starts instantly, runs superbly and has proven to be exceptionally reliable—equally at home cruising to local events or undertaking long-distance journeys across the UK. Accompanied by a comprehensive history file, this remarkable GMC represents an opportunity to acquire a professionally built, show-quality Rat Rod without the considerable time and expense of commissioning one today. Replicating this build would comfortably exceed £90,000. Finished with a chopped roof, aggressive stance and unmistakable presence, this is a truck that attracts attention wherever it goes. Expect crowds to gather, cameras to appear and conversations to start every time it leaves the garage. Loud, unapologetic and effortlessly cool, this outstanding GMC is ready for its next custodian.
