How To Cook Up A Mean Rat Rod

What do you get when you combine 11 trucks, 1 tractor, 1 bicycle, and 2 golf carts? You spawn up a mean beast also known as “White Knuckle” Wharf Rat Rod.

Allow me to have the honor of introducing you to Kevin B. Michael. This CB radio interview is priceless.

Kevin shares the following recipe for his creation:

Engine: NTC-475 Cummins (Only 2 ever Made)
1965 International Axle Beam w/ 98 GMC Outers
1 Fredrickson Cab stripped down.
19/5 10 lug hub centered wheels

Chassis Design:
160 HOURS of good ol’ hard work
White 4-150 Farm Tractor Grill Shell
92 freight liner Intercooler
5 row core radiator
Can pull 2 to 1 with frame (30,000 lbs)

Transmission:
1. 8 ll. dump truck & 1. 92 freight liner
R0170 Rockwell Rear End w/ 3.2 ratio & 100 Gallon Tank

Custom Front & Rear Suspension:
Front: Two way trailer
Rear: Hendrickson Trailer

That’s one hell of a ride you get there!
