as insane amount of work went into this rat rod truck, I personally don't care for Rat Rods but my hat is off for you bud, excellent work, job well done, I know or have an idea about the amount of work that went into getting this vehicle to the stage your at, a lot of one off ideas and a damn fine job, I have built quite a few vehicles myself, none that come close to what you have done but I know how much work goes into building our pride and joy, I can only imagine how many late nights went into building this, I have been there done that, one vehicle that I built for a customer I literally worked 48 hours straight to get it ready for the paint shop to take over, this is bad ass bud!!!!!!!
I'm surprised, (in a good way) that there are still people who can have positive feedback even though they don't care for the finished project. There were many long nights. good thing I don't need to do any body work... Thank you for the kind words.
You could have had a $100,000.00 rat rod if you hadn't insisted on doing everything yourself. Best I've seen in a long time, the sport needs more people like you, desperately.
I tried building a rat once. I'm good at finding vehicles and parts. Not so good at following thru. I did the funnest part 1st; chopped the top (51 F1) 6 inches! That was cool. Then I got overwhelmed by the amount of work needed, and my lack of skills, tools, money, patience, and ambition. I sold it.
This is so cool! I’ve be a searching the internet for inspiration because my dad and I are building a 38 dodge truck into a rat rod, all we have so far is the cab
Cool hoodie too. I rode those trucks since I was 13, I'm 44 now. That's one cool ride you built. 46 Ford is nice! The chrome reverse modulator kick down valve does look sic too. Ever plan in selling or trades? If not, you're welcome to place me in a will for a future caretaker,ownership. Lol
nice job Mr Dizzo ! always been my dream to build a rat rod , workin on a jeep now but who knows maybe some day , thanks for your vid also not a bad job welding you did , i always say my most valuable tools are my mig my press and my torches , if you don't have at least those tools your going to run into one dead end after another ,
Motivation will get you a long ways regardless what other people say to do that yourself is skill in its own people don’t understand! Great build and not over done!
Sure thing. Here's the next possible build i picked up. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10209697962819568&set=pb.1044973566.-2207520000.1478192521.&type=3&theater
let me take a minute to tell you my ignorance. first and foremost this is amazing and the fact that you did all of it on your is just incredible. the frame flip blew my mind as my dad bought his cab seperately from the frame and built his own. i would think buying a frame would be easier but hard to find. he just built his own from scratch. again, blew my mind. and last! i almost commented (thought to myself first) "wow, that dog must really love you to be laying/sleeping there through all that noise and sparks and stuff." then i thought to myself. wait.... he literally just told us "sonic" is deaf LOL jesus...
There was alot of creativity involved in this build. Some of it seems to be borne of necessity. I LOVE IT! The hole thing has more personality then all the new car lots combined!
Underslung! I like the upside-down frame! Only seen one other rod built that way, a 27 Dodge (I think) with a 440, in Hot Rod magazine about 20 years ago.
Awesome! That underslung frame is a very nice touch. I came here because of that ford cab. I am doing a 1947 on full air ride, I love the lines of this body style. Dizzo you did a lot with what you were given. great work
It looks amazing... The welds on the other hand... I hope they don't fail. Just saw the welds towards the end and I agree those do look better. I'd still do more prep work with a bench grinder.
My first one was a '46, it screamed to be chopped. The first part I bought was a Farmall grill. I found a "rolling" chassis that a father and son had lost interest. The cowl had dropped about 3 inches due rotting out of the body mount at the base of the hinge support. I spent abut 6 months getting the body straightened out so the doors would operate and then chopped it while is was bolted to the frame. PS: you VIN in on the top of the left frame rail just below the firewall....get that section when you buy a body. Sold that one now I am finishing up a '47 Ford cargo.
I'd digging your engine choice mate! It's not a 350 Chevy lol. I love how it roared to life and rattled around your garage like a bouncy ball. It's like the thing really was alive!!! Your truck is ugly, brutish, and I love it! My one personal opinion is that it would look good with some kind of truck bed. Awesome build man.
Dizzo Martell yea this things sweet. I saw one thing that you might wanna keep an eye on regarding those drop links for the tie rods. Last night I was heating up a foot long battery hold down rod for a halfassed exhaust hangar , I was down near the threaded part where it went smooth. As I bent it , it broke at the threads. Those drop rods are threaded the whole way.... I doubt that's ever gonna be an issue, it's not like you are gonna do an off road rally in it. Haha if they were like 6-8" long then ya might have an issue. Sweet build, what i said isn't even an issue, and I'm glad you are running a diesel!!!!
Thanks for the comment. I've actually change them to regular tie rod ends, and added a dropped drag link. I was worried also, that's why I changed it. Thanks again!!
Dizzo Martell haha smart man you caught it too,,,love the build though. hope you have fun with it, haha usually they never end, you will think of something else to modify ;)
That's awesome brother. I wish I could weld like that. Definitely an interesting engine choice too, it adds to the cool and unique factor. Everyone uses a old gas 6 cylinder or a Chevy 350. The intake manifold is what made me want to watch because I couldn't tell what it was from. Great build man.
This video has been so fun to watch and you have done an excellent job building your rat rod! I am now very tempted to quit my day job and build a rat rod.. Love it man.
BAD ASS BRO! Love the engine choice. Diesel all the way! Great video too, class act, Rod and vid! Building my '69 Pete Rat Rod with an 8v71 DD 2 stroke.
i never saw an engine started on a chain before . funny and cool. it would be nice to hear it without the music sound track when you did your first run through the gears.
Not sure what to say, without sounding like a star struck school boy, Your build was amazing and it's actually "A Rat Rod" most, like maybe 97% of them are a Joke. You could and should write a book on building a rat, the correct way. I have never built a rat that low but if that is what you like, the frame flip was the essence of Rodding. My last rat was the equal of Your's and cost $0.97 a pound no cost for labour, admittedly I had an advantage, it was 58 years ago and I had no money. I think mine was better as it was mine. Spread the word "Rat Rods are back"
Wow! thank you so much for that. I do agree this is more of what i consider a traditional rat rod. Not just a hot rod with flat black paint. Sounds like you have some stories to tell.
From the clip of you driving my at the end it looks like it rides very well buddy of mine had a rat rod built similar and it road horrible compared to other I've ridden in

Needs fuzzy dice.
Great job. Really cool.
Agreed
You could have had a $100,000.00 rat rod if you hadn't insisted on doing everything yourself.
Best I've seen in a long time, the sport needs more people like you, desperately.
Thanks so much. Yes, we do need more people in this sport. especially younger people.
A straight 6 looks so much better in this build. Thank you so much for not going 350 Chevy. Great job 👍🏽
Thanks! i agree
Another show stopper in the parade , I bet. Good build, man !
All I can say is WOW.you knocked it out of the park up young man..great job
Thanks for the kind words
Fun video, even with the bro rock.
Thanks. Everyone has different taste in music.
@@DizzoMartell damn right. I'll stand up for your right to listen to corny music and you let me have my right to tease you for it.
@@merlin4real Precisely!! Haha
one of the coolest rat rod builds I have seen looks epic
Thank you. I appreciate that!
I tried building a rat once. I'm good at finding vehicles and parts. Not so good at following thru. I did the funnest part 1st; chopped the top (51 F1) 6 inches! That was cool.

72 years old. Now 2 years old. "The Resurrection". Great job.
Thanks for the kind words
Awsome build. Great video with the sound turned all the way down.
Or all the way up.
This build is completely awesome. everything has been uniquely built
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
This gotta be the coolest rat build video I ever seen.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Love it.. great build... marvellous woofer and magnificent sideburns.
HAHA Thanks
This is so cool! I’ve be a searching the internet for inspiration because my dad and I are building a 38 dodge truck into a rat rod, all we have so far is the cab
Do it!
Very cool build. Nothing like the diesel version of the 280z engine...tough old engines.
Great motor!
Damn that's badass ,don't forget me in your will. I'll take it!
right on!!
Cool hoodie too. I rode those trucks since I was 13, I'm 44 now. That's one cool ride you built. 46 Ford is nice! The chrome reverse modulator kick down valve does look sic too. Ever plan in selling or trades? If not, you're welcome to place me in a will for a future caretaker,ownership. Lol
Hey Dizzo, you did an awesome job building your rat rod, and documenting the whole thing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thanks for Watching!
👍👍👍 awesome job man. I love the ratty diesel rods. especially the ones without the typical Cummins swaps.
nice job Mr Dizzo ! always been my dream to build a rat rod , workin on a jeep now but who knows maybe some day , thanks for your vid also not a bad job welding you did , i always say my most valuable tools are my mig my press and my torches , if you don't have at least those tools your going to run into one dead end after another ,
That's true. Time to buy a press!
Motivation will get you a long ways regardless what other people say to do that yourself is skill in its own people don’t understand! Great build and not over done!
Thank you, i agree
Great to see the cattle dog! Don't see many outside of Australia.
Top build man!
Stoopermoose thanks! they're pretty great dogs.
Mate, they are tuff as f@#k
Just like your build
Thanks!
Dude. You have a talent... or 2. Great build, and great video!
Haha. Thanks!!
NICE RAT ROD BUILD DIZZO.. KILLER TUNES.. DO ANTHER ONE WHEN YOU GET A MINUTE..
Sure thing. Here's the next possible build i picked up.
facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10209697962819568&set=pb.1044973566.-2207520000.1478192521.&type=3&theater
Watched this twice. Great video, I hate videos of just pictures but the descriptions are GREAT. Thanks for the video and congrats on the build
Thanks for the kind words
Pretty Dam cool , love the upside down frame .

Thanks! It means a lot to me to get comments like this. Yeah, Sonic is a great dog.
Awesome build! This was the first time seeing a flip frame build ... I wish your video was a 101 learning vid. sweet ride
I tired to explain everything I did. But without a proper film crew and time, i couldn't...
Thanks!
Cool hand built truck! Well done
Thank you
There was alot of creativity involved in this build. Some of it seems to be borne of necessity. I LOVE IT! The hole thing has more personality then all the new car lots combined!
Thank you so much!
My thoughts exactly. What engine and tranny is being used?
Underslung! I like the upside-down frame! Only seen one other rod built that way, a 27 Dodge (I think) with a 440, in Hot Rod magazine about 20 years ago.
A job well done, and all from various pieces and parts!
was91355 thanks!!
LOL watching the engine come alive on the picker was like watching Frankenstein come alive. Cool vid
Music style brings me back to 1998-2002. Ahh, the nostalgia.
Pretty darn close
Excellent job young man.
Dave Lowell thank you!
I love rat rods. They all look mean as hell! The end result of yours is badass!
Incredible build! Thank you for documenting and sharing your progress. Was fun and inspiring to watch.
That's SO COOL. I love how simple everything is
thank you! form follows function
Dizzo Martell I'm thinking about doing a similar build. How much was your engine and transmition?
I bought a ranger and trailer with them in it. Was $650. sold the ranger and trailer for $650. So, Free!
That's really cool man, thanks for documenting it.
I hope to inspire
I can't stop watching this video. never even heard of flipping the frame over like that. fucking genius
Wiggy McCrackin thanks for the kind words!!
Love it, great rod and great music.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.
Love the frame flip.awesome job.I'd love to see more of your builds.replacing the music with some commentary would be excellent as well
Thanks for all your hard work in making this video.
Awesome! That underslung frame is a very nice touch. I came here because of that ford cab. I am doing a 1947 on full air ride, I love the lines of this body style. Dizzo you did a lot with what you were given. great work
Thanks! It was a fun build!
watching this video again and again. awesome job.. on both!
Thanks!! I appreciate the comment.
Same here inspired me to start on a similar project
This is an "outside the box" build...I like it !
Bravo. I can't imagine how much time to edit all the footage you took doing this build.
Thanks! I didnt track the hours, but it did take some time.
It looks amazing... The welds on the other hand... I hope they don't fail.
Just saw the welds towards the end and I agree those do look better. I'd still do more prep work with a bench grinder.
Thanks, There aren't many welds in critical areas. Most everything was bolted for repair and removal purpose.
Fair enough haha. I commend you on finishing this beast. That would have taken a lot of man hours.
Just bought a 43 Dodge cab and searching for some inspiration! Great job on the build and vlog.
Thanks! good luck on your build
Nice job - love the wooden floor & tunnel!!
ARC-Angel Thanks!
hell of a build bro! Love seeing the random Nissan drivetrain being utilized lol definitely unique I give it a 10
yeah I'm impressed,this shows determination,it doesn't take a fortune,but s a lot of work
Thank you, I completely agree.
Dizzo Martell amazing my dear friend!!!!! i dont speak english.i enjoy your video.i am colombian people.great job.
Awesome build, thanks for letting us see it
nice truck man and very good video as well. seems pretty easy the build....u should add a turbo :)
Cool truck. inspiring video
Thank you!
That is awesome dude, simply awesome.
Thank you!
Excellent Job! I really enjoyed watching your video. Lot's of work and the truck looks great!
Looks awesome mate
Thank you!

Sold that one now I am finishing up a '47 Ford cargo.
nice! I may chop this thing, but i like the headroom.
@@DizzoMartell: I am 6'3" and I chopped mine 5 inches and still have plenty of headroom......
That truck is sick man. I have a 49 INT. I'm trying to figure out what to do with. Thanks for the video!
TheByrdman79 thank you!!
I enjoyed watching the build. Some great ideas. Planning a rod in the future,as just fixing cars isnt cutting it any more.
Building is more fun than fixing

VinnyMartello Yeah, I'm over the typical motor choices. That motor was angry I woke it up!
I'm pretty happy with my build too. I have a 66 Chevy truck with a Buick V8. Not your typical motor. Performance parts are a bear to find.
Yeah thats for sure Dizzo, what at awesome build, love the ratrod stuff, thanks man
neat idea. frame flip. great build
Awesome video!!! 👍
Thank you!
Love your lower rad mount, if it will hold a train, you rad should be safe.
Friggin awesome man! ...And, I love your choice of powerplant!
Thanks! Yeah, I kind of stumbled upon it on Craigslist
not the best soundtrack for this but I love the truck, kudos to you man
conner baldwin thanks!!
This is amazing..you've sure got some talent.
Thanks, necessity is the mother of creation
Lot of cool ideas I have never seen. Nice build
Fun video Dizzo. Super cool to see it. I hope you got the caster figured out.
Thanks! caster is good for now. Just need a steering stabilizer.
Dizzo Martell yea this things sweet.
I saw one thing that you might wanna keep an eye on regarding those drop links for the tie rods.
Last night I was heating up a foot long battery hold down rod for a halfassed exhaust hangar , I was down near the threaded part where it went smooth.
As I bent it , it broke at the threads.
Those drop rods are threaded the whole way....
I doubt that's ever gonna be an issue, it's not like you are gonna do an off road rally in it. Haha if they were like 6-8" long then ya might have an issue.

BADASS!!! Think that sums it up! Great build
Thank you!
absolutely beautiful...I so can't wait to embark on my first rat rod..thank u for the inspiration...love everything about ur rod!!! #Respect #607
#DB14 SpursVikings thanks! good luck on your build
@@DizzoMartell Awesome looking rat rod very cool something very unique
bad ass dude! the truck, music, editing, and of course the barn doors 😁
b'moreben thanks!!
Great build. Now hide that radiator behind a monster awesome grill.
Agreed, we are working on that now.
i remember the Independent bikes in Boston but anyways that truck/rod rules and there is no better feeling than it's done on your own it's super cool
Awesome video and car, really cool build! Now if you'd just top chop it and channel the cab a little more it would look even more aggressive!
This video has been so fun to watch and you have done an excellent job building your rat rod!
I am now very tempted to quit my day job and build a rat rod..
Love it man.
I wish i could quit my job and do this everyday. sadly, i cant...
bad ass build man, good job.
bravojuan559 thank you!
well done......gr8 idea flippin the frame
Great vid, music was'nt too bad either!. All the best matey.
Thank you!!
Amazing work. Your a genius
Thank you!
I like all the pretty rad rod and Music too
wow nice. i love the figure it out as you go along build... im doing the same thing now... my first build. wish me luck...good job.
Thanks, Good Luck. it can be fun!
GREAT truck .....and video
Thanks!
BAD ASS BRO! Love the engine choice. Diesel all the way! Great video too, class act, Rod and vid!
Building my '69 Pete Rat Rod with an 8v71 DD 2 stroke.
NIce, Love a DD
Pretty neat I'm building a 38 chevy rat rod pick up flatbed. Your guesses project looks good.
i never saw an engine started on a chain before . funny and cool. it would be nice to hear it without the music sound track when you did your first run through the gears.
It was scary.
Great job Man!!! Amazing!
Unfortunately in Italy is not possible make Your car... The law does not allow it
That's too bad. Laws are pretty lax over here
keep up with building the wheel rod really nice
Not sure what to say, without sounding like a star struck school boy, Your build was amazing and it's actually "A Rat Rod" most, like maybe 97% of them are a Joke. You could and should write a book on building a rat, the correct way. I have never built a rat that low but if that is what you like, the frame flip was the essence of Rodding. My last rat was the equal of Your's and cost $0.97 a pound no cost for labour, admittedly I had an advantage, it was 58 years ago and I had no money. I think mine was better as it was mine. Spread the word "Rat Rods are back"
Wow! thank you so much for that. I do agree this is more of what i consider a traditional rat rod. Not just a hot rod with flat black paint. Sounds like you have some stories to tell.
Badass job on the build brother! I love it. I'll be starting a build myself very soon. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!
Dizzo Martell I'm picking up my cab this Saturday. I'm pretty pumped to get started.
Cody Gill you should be. Keep me posted!
Dizzo Martell I sure will
suicide frame flip 1 of a kind RAT to the next level
Thanks!
From the clip of you driving my at the end it looks like it rides very well buddy of mine had a rat rod built similar and it road horrible compared to other I've ridden in
Cool diesel engine, should give years of service, you could run it on bio diesel or black diesel, very good build.
Thanks. I'm hoping you're right
like the build man great job
Thanks!
Great build and videoing! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! and thanks for the compliments
kickass man. I’ll be following a lot of what you did 👌🏼👍🏼
Thanks, just make sure safety is on your mind
