DETROIT DIESEL: “Mad Max” V12 Detroit Diesel 1948 COE Rat Dump Truck | EP24

Why? Because every mid-engine rat rod 1948 Ford COE dump truck needs a tiny Honda Trail 90 rat bike in its former engine compartment, shrouded by a gym locker. With makeshift construction and a distinct aura of oil, the 4,000-pound Series 71 Detroit Diesel 12V71 two-stroke engine with twin 671 blowers powers its manually-shifted Turbo 400 transmission with a double roller chain and produces over 1,000 foot-pounds of torque and 425 horsepower. Nicole gives it a fresh oil change, then climbs under the gull-wing doors and into the wheelbarrow-bucket seats of Scotty Ray's "Mad Max" apocalypse-surviving, Rat Fink-inspired truck, cruising around the city streets and desert of Las Vegas.


MORE ABOUT SCOTTY RAY:
A native to Las Vegas, Scotty Ray is a diesel mechanic at Micon Construction, owned by his brother, Mike Ray. Scotty Ray is active in the local rat rod community and Model A club, and frequents car shows with his rat truck known as the "Detroit Destroyer."
