1948 International Rat Rod | Custom Built Truck 

Sick truck. Owner of truck listed this online a while back. Here is the description: Truck is sitting on an 1992 S-10 chassis that's been shortened behind cab 7 1/2 in. Air ride on all 4 corners. All front end parts were replaced when this truck was put together almost 7 years ago. Motor has been bored .60 with all new pistons, rods, and crankshaft. Engine has been balanced. Double roller timing chain with roller tip rockers, and custom ground camshaft. Weiand tunnel ran intake with two 450cfm non-choke carburetors. Still features stock ignition. Rebuilt C6 transmission. Small compressor fills a 3 1/2 gallon tank. Gas tank is modeled after a tractor tank that we had replaced a few months ago. Brand new battery installed about a month ago. 15x7 and 15x10 wheels front and rear respectively. Fenders widened and bed narrowed. This truck has been excellent fun for me and my dad since we built it my senior year almost 7 years ago. It has been an absolute blast to drive, take to shows, and just overall enjoy. It is still quite the attention getter no matter where it goes. It is very much the true definition of a rat rod. It's uncomfortable over long distances, squeaks, rattles, and is devoid of any amenities apart from power steering and brakes. It completely lays flat when the bags are deflated to the point that it creaks. This truck was built to cruise, not race. It has held up very well and I would drive it anywhere as long there was a gas station close by.

I own this truck now and its still a blast to cruise!

I LOVE IT!!! THE PERFECT DAILY DRIVER!!!

INSANE TRUCK BRO ! GREAT VISION !

I like a Car that has been Slammed over a Chopped roof . the look and function on a Slammed ride is gratifying !!!

Finally coming together. Good luck !

Sick truck 👍

who dose not want to hear and see it run,nice job

Very cool video. Thumbs up !

Awesome, i love trucks like this. I'm thinking of doing something like this in the near future but not sure, i have a donor car i want to do a drive train swap into something, but not sure what to. Also have an all original 1948 F5 in the barn that I might fix up.

i have a 49 kb1 rat and love all rat rods. the look is artistic if you dnt appreciate the look than your probably 12

Basically the same way as I have a great time at the same time

so bad ass I have one the same year on a Toyota chassis here in Australia I love the shape of them and the rat look suits this thing to a tee

down in the weeds, right where this classic steel should be

Awesome truck, take it for a ride and make a video!

wow a ford ..in it .. WOW I LOVE THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool truck.

Sweet

Would have been awesome if the builder had put the 345 diesel from international. My dad has a 71 international scout II and he may do the diesel swap.

Silly looking. But, hey, there are grown men out there still fixated on skulls and bones!

❤❤❤❤

Did you chop the bottom an lean it forward I like the look

Where did this video come from? LOL I thought I had seen or at least up to date on all of your videos, but I missed this cool one! Thumbs up for SURE !

I got my hands on a 1949 International KB2 and I really like these wheels I was wondering if you can tell me the bolt pattern needed to fit the international, i'd appreciate it - thank you!

Can't find the other video but I got two 88's both LX's but a notch and a hatch.

dragway 42 is literally in my front yard

Metal work hot Roding after the war hmmmm

It would be so cool without the bags.

how much does it cost to build a ratrod out of a vw and Chevy trucks bed

what size tires and rims are you running?

paint it to preserve the body to save it last longer yeah Rusty School put a clear coat over it at least

Give me rats!!!

where did the wheels come from?? online or ??
