DETROIT DIESEL: “Mad Max” Rat Rod V12 Diesel 1948 COE Dump Truck With Hidden Motorcycle | EP24

Why? Because every mid-engine rat rod 1948 Ford COE dump truck needs a tiny Honda Trail 90 rat bike in its former engine compartment, shrouded by a gym locker. With makeshift construction and a distinct aura of oil, the 4,000-pound Series 71 Detroit Diesel 12V71 two-stroke engine with twin 671 blowers powers its manually-shifted Turbo 400 transmission with a double roller chain and produces over 1,000 foot-pounds of torque and 425 horsepower. Nicole gives it a fresh oil change, then climbs under the gull-wing doors and into the wheelbarrow-bucket seats of Scotty Ray’s “Mad Max“ apocalypse-surviving, Rat Fink-inspired truck, cruising around the city streets and desert of Las Vegas. MORE ABOUT SCOTTY RAY: A native to Las Vegas, Scotty Ray is a diesel mechanic at Micon Construction, owned by his brother, Mike Ray. Scotty Ray is active in the local rat rod community and Model A club, and frequents car shows with his rat truck known as the “Detroit Destroyer.“ SPECIAL THANKS TO AMSOIL PREMIUM SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS! ••••• Created and Produced by Michael Badami and Nicole Johnson Directed by Michael Badami WEBSITE & MERCH: SUBSCRIBE: BECOME A PATRON: GET TO KNOW NICOLE IN 2 MINUTES: INSTAGRAM: FACEBOOK: INQUIRIES & IDEA SUBMISSIONS: #ratrod #detroitdiesel #madmax #dumptruck #builtnotbought #nicolejohnsonsdetour
