That plug in the tanks are so you can poke a hole in the . See refrigeration tanks cannot be recycled if not puncherd .!looks good brother. And I don’t believe you put up with the chimps ?? They wold drive me nuts .. keep jamming brother can’t wait till the next one!
Always a bonus when you take us along on a Road Trip. I suppose you chose Refrigerant Tanks for the KOOL Old Goat ( Greatest Of All Time) factor. Thanks for sharing your time and resources Diff👍.

The birds sound like what are called corvids or crows. I love them. They are smart and able to develop good (if noisy) relationships with people. In the USA crows, ravens, jays, magpies etc. are all corvids.
Thank you for sharing your design choices and creative process. I also appreciate how helpful your mocked-up fuel tank options help guide your vision. Keeping the Watts link visible was a good plan!
Oh, walking a junk yard, especially ones with classic vehicles or unusual items... My Dad used to take me with him to the junkyards in our area as a kid and teenager. Still enjoy it today, even just looking. Kinda do similar looking on the craig listings online, too. Good fun.

Good tank building process and a good decision on where to put the tanks. I didn't know that I would be getting a math lesson when I started watching your Rat Truck build.
I haven't watched this video, but just finished the previous two. As I watched I thought to myself, what Diff does in his shop in the Forrest, would make a great fantasy Children's book The Mystical Mr. Diff who lives deep in a forrest in South Africa. In this Forrest Mr Diff has a workshop full of magical tools and machines. He uses these to build custom trucks like no has ever seen. You get the idea, what you need is someone who writes that type of book. I'll bet if show them some of your videos,they will develop a terrific book. I'll take one for me, a couple for the great grandsons, what ever it takes for the the rest of the kids in the family. Just thoughts from a crazy old fart in East Texas, where it has been way over 100 for 40 days.......Ron York
Sorry brother I missed your viddddeooo. I was cruising the mountains of Norway. In my ny1972 508mercedes built with 10.000 lbs of square tube. No brakes it was rock and roll dream. Luv ya brother. The original laekka man lekka. I pray for you. D
I love the tanks. I think the truck is gonna need some boards on top of the box with Rat Rods For Africa routed out and filled with blue pearl epoxy. Have a lekka one brother!
You did a great job. The idea of having the tanks vertical in the middle makes for less sloshing around of fuel safer from rear end impact and ease of filling.
Good old days HotRodding at its best. Day’s of using what you have and create what you don’t. Love hanging out with you brother. You inspire me and I’m sure many others , young and old 👍🏻✌🏻
It's amusing that you ask what the audience would suggest. After watching you work I doubt that I could suggest ANYTHING which would be an improvement. It looks great.
Ha, you're out a decimal place...but the answer was right. Just being a smart arse. Love your work, thanks for posting your videos, I get a lot of inspiration from these.
Greetings from Whidbey Island, Washington State, USA. Don't forget to provide a vent hole in your filler caps. If you don't, your fuel pump will pull a vacuum and eventually starve the engine.
hi diff loved your video your tig welding is spot on mate the bottles you used were made by A GAS which i used to work for in Bristol in the uk it is a small world very smart use of old tanks they look Brillant have a good one until next time
In 1972 we were told that the US would be fully converted to the metric system by 1975! They were off a few decades!!! As a tool and die maker, forced to use two systems of measurement I wish they had followed through back in ‘75!!! It definitely is a simpler, easier method!! These tanks are great!! And the site “glass” level tube is a clever idea!!
Div awesome job. It's coming along nicely so far my friend. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon sir. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Here in America we call that pink flexible thingy a "Tape Measure". I enjoy watching your videos and I find them inspiring about modifying my 1992 Isuzu Rodeo. Keep them coming.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video, design and work). Congrats, it was a wise decision to not put a horizontal tank on the back of the Hudson. In case of an accident, it would've been very unsafe. The two tanks also look much better where they are sitting now. In fact it looks great. 2) Maaaan, I definitely like your scrap metal prices. In Germany one gas bottle would cost what you paid for everything. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
Good Video 👍 Waylon sent me 😎
Thank you! Yeah, just send him a big thanks, I didn't know about the shout-out 🙂

"Een man se gemors is n ander man se skat." Going to a junkyard is almost like being a kid in a sweet shop.
Net so! My favorite shop😁
One of my favorite sayings, one man's trash, another's treasure.
unfortunately because of lawyers and greedy people a lot of junk yards or recycling yards don't allow ''shopping'' anymore
That’s some kick azz fuel tank fabrication, awesome job you old goat lol 💪💪💪💪

That plug in the tanks are so you can poke a hole in the . See refrigeration tanks cannot be recycled if not puncherd .!looks good brother. And I don’t believe you put up with the chimps ?? They wold drive me nuts .. keep jamming brother can’t wait till the next one!

Those are Hadedas. Some say the loudest bird in Africa! Go Google it, interesting bird
Tanks for another good one Div..From the back ,the swage on the cab gives the illusion the tanks are joined.looks great as per.Cheers .
Anyone can make a bracket. The genius is in knowing exactly where to put the bracket! I love this project.
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your design choices and creative process. I also appreciate how helpful your mocked-up fuel tank options help guide your vision. Keeping the Watts link visible was a good plan!
You are so welcome🙂
My dear friend,You are the junk magician. Great work
😀Thank you.
Thanks for another cool Sunday matinee Div! 🍺
Tanks came out great, so glad you added straps instead of welding directly to the tanks!
Now for a RRFA logo between them!
Good idea!🙂
OG kool , I think its lookin; sweet w/ no rear fenders......Hot Wheels should do a version of this build
Shopping with Div. Great buys. Lekka man
Nice project for an OG. Enjoying the build
Really enjoyed this tank building project! Thanks Div!
Glad you enjoyed it🙂
I like your free thinking ability to modify anything into your idea.
Thanks!

What's with the excessive capitalization? Just asking.
Another great episode Diff....
👍👍😎💪💯
JUST TOO COOL YOU MY FRIEND ARE A ARTIST.😎
Fuel tanks look great. The cover over the sight gauge is a nice industrial look.
Bloopers.😂. turn on the camera and get tongue-tied. Can relate ➰️👅🪢
Thanks! Those bloopers come even easier if English is not your first language 😄
Excellent volume explanation Diff. Great content as always
Ring guide nice idea… Great job on the ride.
You're a true Brackateer.
😆
Tanks very much for another great vid.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
once again a great video with explanation of why and how to make reallt trick tanks and brackets ...love it well done
Fabrication beyond infinity, Far out Man ! Keep it up.
Good tank building process and a good decision on where to put the tanks. I didn't know that I would be getting a math lesson when I started watching your Rat Truck build.
Sorry about the math....but it can be handy 🙂
Nog n fantastiese video.
👍🏻Awesome patrol tanks!
Man I wished I had some of your skills. Very cool as usual. Thanks for inviting us along on your journey.🥸
Very nice work on the fuel tanks Div
You should tell the psi that your using,for saftey,this old ship welder says about 3 psi would be plenty.
Keep it up,great work!
Guess I should have. Keep assuming that common sense still exist. And of course it doesn't!
Yet another awesome video! Thank you !
Much fun Div. Thank you so much.

Not just recycling it, but upcycling it.....brilliant. But we would not expect any less.
Sorry brother I missed your viddddeooo. I was cruising the mountains of Norway. In my ny1972 508mercedes built with 10.000 lbs of square tube. No brakes it was rock and roll dream. Luv ya brother. The original laekka man lekka. I pray for you. D

All the way From Perth Western Australia
Love your posts look forward to seeing them
The choice of music is great
Thanks Div
Cheers Dennis
Thanks mate!
Looks very nice. Very enjoyable watching. tHanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
The rear bumper area is amazing...a real eye catcher. @@ratrodsafrica Can the area of the frame above the axle...have a cargo rack?
Those look awesome nice job what an idea trucks looking trick😊
Love the truck, I have a 1938 International Harvester. The rear window is identical to mine. The paint on mine looks like yours, rough and blue.
"Tiny Bubbles" by Don Ho came up in my mind when you tested the tamks😂😂. Lookong good
I can hear that song in my head right now 😆
Div, The Old Goat. Goat = Greatest Of All Time!
😁👍
This truck is coming along really good. You Duff are one heck of a engineer.
Thank you!
The back of the bed sure is full. But the new tanks are a nice addition. I like the look take care Div.
The fuller, the better!
I love the tanks. I think the truck is gonna need some boards on top of the box with Rat Rods For Africa routed out and filled with blue pearl epoxy. Have a lekka one brother!
You did a great job. The idea of having the tanks vertical in the middle makes for less sloshing around of fuel safer from rear end impact and ease of filling.
Yes, exactly!
Nice job bud. Great thinking outside of the box. 🫡🤙🏻
Good old days HotRodding at its best. Day’s of using what you have and create what you don’t. Love hanging out with you brother. You inspire me and I’m sure many others , young and old 👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks man. Yeah man, old school hot rodding is the essence of the game. These days it's just catalogs and dollars...
Exactly. Not many doing what you do my friend. Original HotRod was built the way you do things. ✌🏻
It's amusing that you ask what the audience would suggest. After watching you work I doubt that I could suggest ANYTHING which would be an improvement. It looks great.
Thanks. I'm always open for suggestions and constructive criticism 🙂
Ha, you're out a decimal place...but the answer was right. Just being a smart arse. Love your work, thanks for posting your videos, I get a lot of inspiration from these.
Thanks! As long as the answer is right😁
Another awesome episode Div. Tanks a lot, as usual! 😉😊👍👍

I like your ideas of the cutting jigs and plywood you use for plasma cutting
Thanks. Give it a try, works well.
Beautiful work sir ,best of luck on your build sir 👍cheers from California
Thanks!
Great job and tips Div 👍😎
thanks for converting to SAE. i AM IN Florida USA.
This guy must have worked for nasa in his former life cause all his work looks so professional
Cant remember what I was in my former life...😅
Thanks for another, Brother !!
Thanks DIV, learnt allot as usual. Those tanks look like Truck Exhaust Stacks, very cool. Lekker week!
You could put a small floating bright coloured ball in the tube to see the level more easily
I think you qualify for true "OG" definition, Original Gansta"
Gangsta? Me? Never! 😆
Very KOOL Job Looking very Nice Div
This is yet another outstanding video. Thank you Diff :)
Div, your gas tanks were filled with helium. Used for party balloons 🎈. I'm loving your build.
hi diff loved your video your tig welding is spot on mate the bottles you used were made by A GAS which i used to work for in Bristol in the uk it is a small world very smart use of old tanks they look Brillant have a good one until next time
Looks like they were always there , love the look !!!!
OG, Original Ganster! 🤟
In 1972 we were told that the US would be fully converted to the metric system by 1975! They were off a few decades!!! As a tool and die maker, forced to use two systems of measurement I wish they had followed through back in ‘75!!! It definitely is a simpler, easier method!!
These tanks are great!! And the site “glass” level tube is a clever idea!!
I take it you tool & die makers use the metric system then?
Looking great as usual!
I am very impressed, you are hell of craftsman
Thank you
Hi from San Diego California ☀️They look amazing😊👍. Nice job and you really recycle. Congrats on this beautiful truck.
Thanks! 🙂
Great job very cool really have enjoyed watching your videos.
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked them.
Nice work, I think the truck is starting to get a really cool Steampunk theme to it with the added fuel tanks. Coming along quite nicely.
I can’t wait to see this rig running! Much love brother
I like it ..basic yet artful.
Div awesome job. It's coming along nicely so far my friend. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon sir. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Ciao ciao
Ek het ook gehuil toe ek daai Beetles sien!
Looking great there paint it the same as the truck
Here in America we call that pink flexible thingy a "Tape Measure". I enjoy watching your videos and I find them inspiring about modifying my 1992 Isuzu Rodeo. Keep them coming.
Thanks. Here we call the steel one that retracts, a tape measure🙂 I was trying to differentiate from the common one we all use.
Excellent. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love the twin vertical tanks - gives it a bit of a steampunk look!
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video, design and work). Congrats, it was a wise decision to not put a horizontal tank on the back of the Hudson. In case of an accident, it would've been very unsafe. The two tanks also look much better where they are sitting now. In fact it looks great.
2) Maaaan, I definitely like your scrap metal prices. In Germany one gas bottle would cost what you paid for everything.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.

Nice work Div.
Lekka Div, love the tank design. For the paint I keep thinking of a nitrous bottle, but one with patina
So much of enjoyment to see “this business” going! Thanks a lot for sharing, OG!
