Twin-Engined 1948 Ford Rat Rod

Twin-Engined 1948 Ford Rat Rod

This unique 1948 Ford hot rod features a chopped cab from a Ford pickup and is powered by two Chevrolet 5.0-liter V8 engines. These engines are coupled together and drive a three-speed automatic gearbox with a nine-inch Ford differential. Although the chassis is non-original, it includes a transverse-mounted leaf spring suspension and front disc brakes. The interior is notably sparse and consists of various components from different vehicles, featuring basic folding seats. It's not road or race legal but has been approved for a street rod plate.
