- I decided to use an upcoming Cars & Coffee event as an excuse for the first shake down cruise. Its a 30 km drive one way, perfect to find out if anything will go wrong. Time to prepare for possible issues before we go!

Love that trick to start a siphon! I hate the taste of gas! Love the smell. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome channel! Keep it up!
Thanks brother!
Man, you have so many clever, useful, and inexpensive solutions for car guys! The truck looks great, btw! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub and welcome to my forest shop!
I've just found this channel and there's nothing better than recycling old parts the commer bonnet I remember
Welcome to my shop brother! Not many people that knows the Commers
they where yellow GPO vans in the uk
@@philapps3805 ah yes, if you are from the UK you will know them 😁
Subscribed a couple weeks ago and I love the builds……The best part is your outside the box thinking and your attitude……Keep up the good work.
Hey! Welcome to my forest workshop! Thanks brother
Awesome build, don't forget to take some bloudraad.
Your creativity is amazing. I build steam punk lamps so my projects are on a smaller scale. Hopefully you'll enjoy your tricked out truck.
Thank you. As long as we are creative and build stuff!😁
Absolutely the best mechanic and most creative on all of TH-cam everyone else only installs ready-made parts and advertises them.... but you develop your own solutions absolutely brilliantly... for me you are a little superstar among mechanics if there is a prize for it you would have rightly deserved 1st place
Wow!!! Don't think that's the truth, but thank you very much for the huge compliments! ☺️
but it's really meant honestly and really like that... some modify already existing components but you build them completely new that's really a difference... or they show how they convert something but that's all they can do... with a friend who has been looking at everything possible for over a year from some mechanic farmers at most very few a few parts after a seat for the motorcycle but nothing more Can't be compared to your work, you change almost every single part and adapt it to your wishes accordingly, it's a completely different world... sorry for the bad translation is a bit due to google translatorî
Great show mate best rat rod show on TH-cam
Wow, thanks!
Can't wait for the show
Dude ! What a great video ! Loved everything from the siphon trick to the old man story and most favorite ; The AA switch !!!!!!! I put a remote on mine this year ! I was squirting people at the car show while sitting 20 feet away from the truck.
Next year .......A much bigger reservoir ! Dude put an extra pair of emergency shoes in the tool box for Wayne in case the pavement gets hot ! Keep the hat Bro !
The remote sounds like a winner!😅 Yes, standard reservoir is way to small! Gonna tell the wife you like the hat too😁
Hat looks good on you, boet. Truck looks good too. Been watching the whole playlist for the build.
Thanks Kenneth! Trust you have enjoyed.
@@ratrodsafrica I enjoyed it. 👍
Hey Div. Well, it looks like you have everything that you might need for the first trip. The first one is always the scariest. You never know what will happen. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
👍🏻Awesome build, Can’t wait for the next build!!! Have a good one
Thanks 👍
Div!!!! Enjoyed the video!!! Good luck on the trip to your first cars and coffee with the Rat Truck!!! And you are right, you never seem to have trouble when you are prepared for it!!! Im glad your getting to bring your Tow Rig with ya too!! See ya in the next one!
Thanks boet!
Lakka Bro! Thanks for the shout out. You got it right and it looks cool! Sounds decent too, deff better with the muffler.
Thanks for the idea bro!
Always a pleasure dude
In Minnesota the little hammer joke involves a furnace and a kick.
That reminds me, I have to get some new boots.
Have a good one! 👍
Looking like you have everything you will need to make a trip.
Your the best Duff! I hope you Had a smooth ride to the show.
Thanks brother. Will be posting the vid on Sunday
The 7 p's proper planning and preparation prevents piss poor performance. You have all the necessary to complete the journey with a complete equipment schedule. Bone voyage on your first shake down hope you get a trophy.
Like the 7 P business! You taught me something there!
I am just in from working on my old recovery truck- knackered and oily,just what i need to sit and enjoy with my coffee.
Can't wait to see the show
👍👌👏 Maaaan, I simply love your forest shop. The tiny bit steam punkyness looks really good on the wheels. The whole vehicle is a really clean build. Congrats again.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Thanks brother!
@@ratrodsafrica
You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I always appreciate both very much.
Sincerely yours.
Not a lesson of the birds and the bee's ,I almost lost it,🤣 looks like you are going have a great time 😀
😁
GREETINGS for Florida USA, New to your channel Enjoyed watching and listening?
Greetings back Loren from Florida. Welcome to my shop!
Wayne from Maine in the USA i love your show
Howzit Wayne from Maine! Thanks. Welcome to my shop!
The brass washers looks great. Love it...
Thanks man!
Your trucks are all cool. 👍
I'm from Michigan, USA. A lot of rat builders over here stay loyal to model and make. If it's Chevy powered, it has Chevy body panels. I like your thinking and I believe a true rat rod build is using what you can get. Watching your videos have me thinking about the possibilities which are endless. Also no one uses 4 cylinders over here. I actually like that. It sounds good with the header.
Howzit Anthony from Michigan! Yes, the original definition of rat rods like you say. These days, many of them have become high dollar trailer queens!
Bloody great idea blowing into the drum, I used a 9kg gass (propane) bottle with oil in it to fill and pressurised the lifters in engines through the oil pressure switch port, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one
Thanks. Yours is also a cool idea
Div, can't wait for the next one, lekka man !
Have a great day out with the rat rod meeting looking forward to seeing the video of other rat rods your will be the best one there
I
That's what I'm talking about !!!! Lol !!!!! Prepped for anything !!!!!! Hope you will video road trip and show !!!! Awesome afternoon by the way !!!!! Waiting to see how much more you will add to your truck !!!! The hat is alright lol and your English is alright !!! The toolbox looks natural there !!!!! Lol about the conditioner !!!!! Waiting patiently for the road trip and show !!!!! Hopefully you will take both trucks !!!! Yall be safe and have a lekka day and the tiny hammer story is awesome
Thanks Robert! Hope to see you there!
I think you look damn good in that hat Div. Have a nice cruise. 👍
Gonna tell my wife you think so😅
Have fun!
have a great time show us lots of pictures
Just awesome,,,great video Div
Thanks Mike
Great hat
man i like your channel and your work keep it up .i know you will this is from a 78 year old young kid from the USA. bill USA
Thanks Bill! For the most part, we are as old as we think we are!😅
Love the center cap!
Thanks! Wanted to try something that was quick, but different.
Hello Diff geniet jou dag uit en die trok is awesome
Dankie Piet. Mooi dag daai kant ook
Safe travels
Looking good Diff.
Thanks 👍
Just like these vehicles, and the history of them, along with the nostalgia...ill always measure distance by body parts. We still measure the height of a horse by "hands". Glad you're going to the Coffee and cars show..hope you have a Lekka time. Kudos
Over here we also measure horses in hands! Advantage of using body parts is that you don't need a tape measure😅
Perfect center cap!
Thank you! Quick to do!
Be prepared, I always say. I drive a '94 Jeep Wrangler as daily transportation. I usually have tools and parts with me, in case something breaks!
I have always wanted to hook up a washer bottle and pump to spray out the rear on cars that follow too closely. Good job.
Thanks
Div , ek is so impressed met die finale produk . Jy het soveel deursettingsvermoë aan die dag gelê en my baie motiveer vir my eie projek . Ek het so baie geleer tydens jou build en ja ek dink jy het n super great job gedoen waarvoor jy al die krediet met trots kan vat . Die Yanks het alles tot hul beskikking en jy daar in die "bos" kom wys hulle hoe . Knap man , knap !!!! God Bless.
Kalli, dankie vir jou mooi woorde! Ja man, dis tyd dat ons bietjie vir die Yanks wys wat Boerklonge kan doen😉 Daar is nog paar dingetjies te doen, jy sal die videos sien😁
That AA switch is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
Looking forward to cars n coffee
I better take you with then!😂
Another goodon 👍👍
Great to see you today Div. Wish you good luck on your journey to the show. Look forward to seeing you there. Be good Brother. 👍
Thanks, see you there!
Awesome brother!!! Can’t wait to see all the cars. I’m wishing you a no trouble day at the show.
👍🏻👍🏻!!!!
I hope so too!😅
We Americans love your hummer
Happy to hear that bro!😅
Watching for the 2nd time lol !!!!!
😆
Enjoy!
Love the build
Thanks!
Love the cheese cutter cap div
👍I will tell my wife!😅
Diff those are the only hats I wear they look great and are very comfortable I look great in one of mine and you look great in yours.
😂
Cool truck
Absolutely love the content and builds. Thank you
Thanks bro!
Div with your McGyver box you need an egg to plug the radiator leak👌
I'd rather have the egg for breakfast man😅
I still say you should call it RUSTY BLUE
That truck looks better and better, have a lekka time at the cars and coffee. Hope you don't have to tow it there Boet
Let's see what happens... See you there!
Duff, 🤗first adventure with Christine have a lacca one👍🏴
Thanks boet!
awesome.
A rag into toolbox and maybe a can of WD-40 but I think you got the kitchen sink in there as it is. Have a great time at the car show I'll bet you're going to be a big hit.
I'll be wearing the rag!😅 Thanks, hope to see you there
Road trip I call shotgun🦝🌴
Cool, got your seat booked!😅
I had an aa botton on a 79 trans am in 1989👍
Well I am the old man and that's the cap I wear, by the way you're the forest guy, I'm the jungle guy..Central America. grand videos, have a good one and take care
Thanks jungle guy!
Hi Div, I love the AA squirter. Have a great trip. You can with a nissan. Mooi loop. 👍
En zef met my Chev!😂
What about a water jug.Might come in handy.
Like the truck.
Thanks
Diff! I have the same cap, and my wife feels the same way about it. I tell her I "am" an old man.
😅 No getting away from the truth!😅
I had a car when I was in school we called it baling wire because that’s all that kept it from falling apart 😂
😂 Only us old school boys that knows those tricks
@@ratrodsafrica yep for sure I got a 66 f100 I’m ratting I putting it on a 93 f250 duly with a 351 it’s gonna be sweet
Love that tow truck!! Your creations would be a big hit at any show !!! Have fun brother. 👍
Well that works great!! But I’ll stick with a funnel
I like it..."spring washer". Cool touch that brass washer. Throw in some cable ties in that box as well, just in case Wayne gets out of hand. Where does the ice and beers go?
Can't cable tie Wayne man, who will rescue me?😂
@@ratrodsafrica lol😁
I like the hat i have one just like 👍 it
A man of class then!😅
Here in the states we measure with body parts in case we don't have a measuring tape. Lol
😂That must be the reason! Clever!
First of all, the hat looks great. Looking like an old man is not bad when you ARE an old man. Tell your wife that many people don’t even make it to BE an old man and once you get there, YOU get to wear any hat you want!…LOL. 🤪
Secondly, that blowing gas can trick is great!! Thanks!
Third, You should patent that asshole attack gizmo and sell em online!
Fourth, we almost got the metric system installed here in the US in the late 1970s. I actually learned it in school as a kid. I think Ronald Reagan put the kibosh on it. I wish we used it, so no offense taken. 😊
Lastly, great to see you again. As usual. Enjoy the coffee!😊👍👍
You are right ! Will tell the wife😅
You could have told us how to siphon fuell like 20 years ago, about time Diff
😂👍
Thank you sir you said my name correctly ❤
😀👍
Cut the top of the box were it hits the side of the truck and mount it to the top then put the Hinges on top were the cut is and then you can open the box were you had it
Good plan!
Turned out great brother. Think I'm going back to square 1 and restart mine . Have not done a video in awhile because I think I'm going to start from scratch over
I've done that before brother. Sometimes you gotta do it twice to get it nice😅
@@ratrodsafrica I'm looking at a second truck with original frame and straight axle . I think I can make a better video series on combining the 2 to build 1 rat
Now you are ready for your first adventure with the truck. You learned the little hammer joke here in Brazil, right?
I learned many things in Brazil, but not the hammer story. Yes, spent quite some time on the East Coast. Salvador, Recife, Cabadello etc.
Be sure to get some video of the show. let us know how the people like your trucks.
Will do!
Thanks for sharing! At the moment one question remains: You have got no side-windows in the Chevy. Are you sure that "it never rains in Southern Africa" ? However: Have a nice day & much success with your creative work down under
I go so fast, the rain has no chance to get in!😂
Duff, so what if the wife thinks you're an old man. I'm 67 and feel 27 so what the hell pal. You're doing great things sir!
Thanks Doug!
What’s up brother hey from Mississippi 👍😀
Hey Fred from Mississippi 👍
@@ratrodsafrica I got some stuff on my channel not much though
I still think spinners would look best but the brass bits look good too but how about swaping the screws fot dome nuts or small spike nuts.
Yes, still planning to upgrade the screws. And toying with some ideas in my head for homemade spinners...😅
@@ratrodsafrica Looking forward to see what your crazy mind comes up with.
If you could get your hands on an old ammo can they are great toolboxes and are also watertight, unless you happen to accidently run over it. (I won't tell you how I know that)
😅
This would have made a awsome gasser. Custom tube chassis a 302 v8 up front would of lookedkiller
I love a vehicle that you can fix with a hammer
😂
Ek weet nie of jy een in die bakkie het nie onthou net i jack.geniet jou rit en mooi ry lekker aand daar vir julle
Yes, agter die sitplek!😅
Not sure what builds you have lined up after this build but I'd love to see a full build along the lines of your Rouge rat rod. I understand it's built already but in that style like a model a station wagon or even like 39 chevy panel van would look killer
Toying with the idea to do a full build with the 38 Hudson truck I have. Let's see...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations on 10K subs, any chance of a shop and project update …. I’m still curious about the ford and all the new concrete.. is your workbench a old tablesaw base? Thanks , looking forward to the next video.
Thanks! Lots of video about the Ford,and also one about the new concrete. But will do a tour one day. Work bench is an old cast iron spindle table. Works great for me
Just saw a 1939 Hudson Pickup for sale in New Jersey USA. Although it is running the front fenders and grill are a lot worse than yours and they want $8700 for it.
Wow!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should have just used a tool box for all those tools it's going to be heavy!!!
Who cares about heavy brother, it's a truck😅
