Out in North Carolina, there ain't much desert racing going on. But that ain't stopping Tim O'Dell from building this gorgeous yet functional off-road rig at his shop, Vice unlimited. Based off the chassis of a 1946 Diamond T, this thing has all the performance of an Ultra4 rig, while carrying some super unique style. Larry breaks down the finer details of this build during King of the Hammers.

The work in that build is impressive. The steering, is awesome. Much less the dash is amazing!

I gotta say, that’s the baddest vehicle I’ve see on autofocus so far. I’m in love with that truck.

@Imakulate 4 года назад

Simply gorgeous piece of art and machinery cobined

@agoodballet 4 года назад

Imakulate agreed. I’m trying to outsource some custom fabrication and I’m going to build a 1/10 scale similar to that truck using a Power wagon body.

Thank you Mr Chen for bringing us the the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. I love both rat rods, and Ultra 4's, and great fabrication. Thank you Mr Chen for taking the time to give us these perfectly photographed glimpses of automotive hope. And to the builder: You are right to be proud, this is awesome!

Diamond T was a brand tell 1967 when it closed down they made trucks for the military for all the wars and produced some bad ass 6 wheel drive's as well as the standard street grade pick up and everything in between but you don't see them much most of the ones that survive are in collections and museums. it's a damn shame to they look just like the Diamond Rio trucks I love so much and also never see same deal different brand all in collections or museums.

shame about larry's audio

@nathanmatas6085 4 года назад

This is one of the coolest uses for a diamond T I have ever seen. Steve Darnell did one that was pretty badass, but I think this might Trump his. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is absolutely phenomenal and I love the function over form. I can't believe the way the cab is sealed and keeping as much dust out as it does what a spectacular build and I am so impressed.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😄

@viperfritz4618 4 года назад

Nathan matas, Steve Darnell has built more than one Diamond T. Checkout his RU-vid channel from the days before Vegas Rat Rods even started...he sure knows how to build them right. I agree with you, too, this one is also phenomenal.

@brandonpatton4776 4 года назад

Wow, so glad you brought this to us. What an amazing build and such a nice guy! There was an old iron 4400 car that i believe had a dodge power wagon body on it I saw both in the pits and out on the course the day of the race. It was a solid axle car, however.

@0Tanker0 4 года назад

This guy looks like Jaime Kennedy's COOL older bro. What a sweet build, I like the window pop out. Getting rid of the glass in my honda build and was trying to think of something similar to this, but decided to go window nets in the front only on a Florida weekend toy. Cool things like this are the best builds, so unique. Thanks Larry for spotlighting another great build.

@ridermak4111 4 года назад

If it hasn’t happened already, someone is going to offer him an ABSOLUTELY OBSCENE amount of fun tickets for that super-functional work of art. There are “custom” builders getting 150k-250k for vehicles that don’t come anywhere close to this level of imagineering, execution, performance, and jaw dropping cool factor. If I hit the lottery today I would make an offer SO stupid...... well, you get the picture. Pardon my drool puddle.

If the window latches seem familiar, they're from the drag racing world - they're used on the other side of a fixed window on a door car to hold the window shut against a tab hanging off of the roll cage. Convenient little two-way latches, can be used for a number of unique solutions, like how it holds his windows in the doors
