earthman's actual ratrod foto thread

[AZRodDave]

^^^ Is that one of Fatty Arbuckle's cars? (Harley Earl used to build BIG cars for the BIG man to make him look more normal sized).

 

[CORPO]

That's a long rig.. Be interested to know what it's got under the hood.... Looks like there's two of them

Here's the best I could do on short notice:

The 1934 Dodge pickup could not haul a single grocery bag; it’s truck bed is stuffed with a fuel cell, air suspension system and a pair of smoke stacks.
Motivation for this pickup, keeping things in the Dodge Brothers family, comes from a Cummins diesel. The turbocharged, intercooled straight-six provides plenty of low-end grunt and an intoxicating burble at idle.

The article was clearly not written by a car guy. It says the truck is with the Rat *******s car club, at the Rat *******s 'Infestation' car show.

PS: interesting that that word is censored, but it's fish poop, bass turds (you'll have to edit the URL for the link)

Open the image and left click on the box marked IMG ...

... come back to your post, move your cursor to where you want the image to appear, right click and the IMG code will copy.

Use the "Preview Post" button to see your image and text as it will appear. If you're happy, scroll down and "Submit Reply". If not, use the reply box to rearrange the contents.

Once you are on RRR open a new page for Photobucket. Move you cursor over
the foto you want and gear icon will appear. Move to it and a list will appear.
Click on share links and it will go to another page with a small box that says
photo links.
Click on IMG and it will turn yellow and say copied.
Then go back to RRR put the cursor where you want the foto and right click for the window of options and left click on paste. The code will appear and you can go to the bottom of the page and click preveiw to see what happened. [cl
