Our trucks are too new to fit the Rat Rod definition, at least from my viewpoint. Seriously, if a mid 70's 80's pickup is a Rat Rod because it has red wheels, does that make a red wheeled Toyota Sentra a Rat Rod too?

I completely agree. Around here people label their POS's as "ratrod" and then try to sell them for twice what they are actually worth. Most of the trucks I have seen pictured here look nice to me.
