Check out my YouTube Channel! Sorry I've not posted anything in a while, I've been focused on creating content for my YouTube Channel which also includes my newest build Sketchy, my 440 powered 1924 Dodge Brothers. Please come check it out and leave me a comment that you found me on the...

Here's just a little video I threw together today...Enjoy[P https://youtu.be/UEGv7D6rqWU

Good looking truck! [dr In order to fit stock fenders over my duals I split my fenders and welded a strip of metal. I actual had to do it twice because I measured wrong...[S but this actually worked out better for me because I ended up overlapping my seams and added bolts so I could remove the...

A few more updates I took the original 'oil bath' air cleaner, gutted it and welded on a couple of snorkles to mount cone air filters. I wasn't happy with the exhaust the way it was so I came up with these huge 'cartoonish' side pipes. The last pictures are of a little bit of filler just...

Sorry I haven't been on much. The bike in the back is an 81 Honda cb750 (The Mouthy Bitch)... slightly customized by me... but I can't take credit for the backward D... it was like that when I bought the old truck. I ended up going with a little taller tire in front and I think it looks much...

My vision finally within reach... The to-do list is down to build tailgate front end alignment replace windshield wipers and someday... I'd like to swap in a zf-5 trans

Thanks guys! I still have a few ideas I need to work out but overall I'm pretty happy with the stance. I want it to look cartoony but at the same time have try and convince people that maybe stepside duallies were an option in 49... Some of you guys have really raised the bar with your builds on...

I finally backed her out of the shop under her own power. The brakes needed bled and the exhaust stops at the firewall which is still full of holes. So I kept the trip short, a 1/4 mile down the road and back. I confirmed my seats are too low... but other than that it was all good. I still need...

I wish I could take full credit for the idea but... I saw a rat rod on Pintrest... it was just barely showing in the picture and I've not been able to find it again [S but it gave me just enough spark to get me going. [;)

Here's the tail lights in place and lit up. There is another style of LED bulbs that I may end up using. Waiting to see how these look out in the daylight. I keep forgetting to cut the old tail light off... maybe next time... I'm thinking I need more re-bar to break up all that chrome...

I'll try to take pictures as I proceed. I saw a picture of someone using these somewhere on the internet for half a second and then lost it... but it was enough to get the creative juices flowing.

Tail light idea just mocked up. I'll be using these LEDs I found on Ebay. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to attach the insulators/lenses...

Ya I couldn't stand it... so off it came... I lost a few but 17 gallons should get me most places... and look better doing it! Now a question... gas lines... steel or copper?

Ya the more I look at it the more I think I might cut a few more inches off of it and squeeze it in between the frame.

Work and a cold shop has slowed my progress but not totally stalled it. I found a 48" x 16" x 9" stainless fuel tank on Craigslist for $65. It was made with baffles in it but it was never had any openings cut in it. I had to narrow it to around 36" to fit between the leaf springs. That took it...

I ordered the resister... Thanks Corpo for the suggestion. I'm not sure if this will work but I don't know why it wouldn't.... I took the radiator out of the 86 donor truck, cut some of the extra mounts and tabs off of it and turned it sideways... I made new mounts tilting it back a little...

After taking a little break, I was motivated to try and reuse the original instrument cluster. I managed to squeeze in the speedo out of the 86 donor and finished it out with Sunpro gauges... However... the matching Sunpro black trimmed fuel level gauge seems to be 'out of stock' or 'no longer...

Thanks Sarge! Far from perfect but rat worthy for sure!

I finally fixed the front wheel openings and mounted the running boards.

I was trying to organize my Photobucket account and moved a picture from an earlier post... So here it is again... plus I had to pull the truck out of my dad's shop so he could get his 41 Ford Deluxe sedan out to go to the painter's so I took some pictures of the Rat Duallie outside and there is...
