- I adapt and modify the brake and clutch pedal assembly from the Nissan Hardbody donor truck to fit the Chevy Rat Rod truck that I'm building.

I like your home made guide for cutting holes. Enjoying the series. Ronnie.
That’s going to be unique, reliable, fun truck when you are done.
Thanks!
Looking good 👍
Very nice work and design. It was fun watching.
Thank you brother!
Thanks for the great ideas
Good to see you utilizing the Nissan parts on the build. Waste not want not!. Another great video. Good video for the young ones to see how to install brake and clutch assembly. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you. Using as much as possible from the donor for this budget build.
Always a pleasure to watch!
Thanks Rick!
Thanks for the music
Looking good Duff….plenty rinse and repeat when building a rat rod. Put it on and take it off…..😂 thanks for sharing and have a great week. 👍👍🇺🇸🙏
😂 Rinse and repeat! True, I like that saying
Looking great man ,looking forward to the next video .peace out!!
Thanks brother.✌
I love your hole cutting jig idea
Glad you like it. Works well and you can make any size you want with a slice of pipe. I have a whole collection! 😅
Getting very close now. Soon you will be driving this beauty.
Don't know about soon Andre, still got loadbin to build, still gotta take the whole thing apart again to finish some stuff, etc. We'll see 😅
Good job 👍
Got sent to you by Brent from Halfass Kustoms in Canada. And it was a good recommendation. I like your style all around. Gonna go through the whole catalog. Thanks for the entertainment and education. 😊👍👍
So was I

Goodman that's great video she looks better all ready I love the seat s simple but cool and u make it look easy
Thanks 👍
👍👌👏 Yeah, man, you Div initely make everything look way easier than it is. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Not thinking that its difficult is half the battle won!😄
@@ratrodsafrica
Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I totally appreciate both very much.
2) Good point of view. But after having a lot of experience in a lot of years, I'm unfortunately not longer always able to trick myself. ;-) 😁 You are obviously a glass half full guy (congrats!), I'm more a pessimist (because a pessimist is nothing else than an optimist with experience!). 😁 ;-) Nearly everything always needs more time than originally thought, that's quite normal. Aging and bad health does not really help too.
Sincerely yours.
Nice. Keep it up.
Thank you!

Nicely done Div, Thank you for sharing. So much work goes into that its not even funny. I did my one for my 76 f100. But installed a different brake booster. A lot to consider, i still need to make a spacer for the booster. using a few barrel nuts as spacers for now. Truck taking shape.
Thanks ISH. Ja, a LOT of work into things that most people don't even think about😅
Not bad ⚡️
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love watching your videos Div. Have a lekka one brother
Thanks Brian. A lekka one for you and yours as well!😄
Tire tread from semis on the side of the road make great pedal pads.
I like that idea! Might give it a try sometime. Thanks
Div it's getting there it's love great
Looking good!
Thanks brother!
Seeya next time LAKKA
Great job on those pedals and it doesn't matter how much swing they have, your cylinders are only going to use what they need,,
Another dude with common sense! I love it, thanks Geoffrey!
@@ratrodsafrica just us old dudes who have been there done that,,lol
Normally the clutch pedal in on the left of the steering column and the brake pedal is on the right side......I enjoy your show
Nothing is quite normal out here! 😆
I enjoyed this video. Love your ingenuity! You’re creativity is what we’re missing in modern day people’s characters. Keep up the good work. And may God Bless you and your Truck. Your Family also.
Thanks Michael! Your comment means a lot to me, hoping to inspire a little creativity out there. All the best brother!
Div, you make that look easier than it I know it really is ! Love your pedal pad design ! They fit the truck's overall design better than rubber pads ! Great lob as always ! ( the right hand drive looks odd when when you are used to it being on the left .)
Everything in Africa is odd!😂 Thanks my friend
Well done Diff you make it look so easy. Thanks for entertaining us in your workshop with good times.
Thank Alan, and pleasure man
Hello Div, much to my surprise I stumbled onto your CZcams channel by the sound of your voice, so I started watching when you cut off the back of the truck suspension. I am now totally hooked. Great show keep up the good work. Robert from gautengaleng.
Howzit Robert. Thanks boet. Welcome to my shop!
Bravo
Than you Roberto!
You're doing interesting things at the shop. Maybe its time for a vacation. lol
Vacations are for people who don't enjoy what they doing...😅
@@ratrodsafrica I ment me going to africa. retaired just enjoying life
Love it .
Thanks brother
Thank you for allowing me to hangout with you. And as always, you’ve done a fantastic job. You make it look so easy, especially the snap of the fingers installation of those vacuum lines. 😂
👍🏻👍🏻 If I had another thumb, it would go up too. 😂
Thanks Harold! Always nice to have you visit the shop! It took years and years of practice to get that finger snap business to work...😂
Nice looking pedals.I like the gription. Project is coming along!👍🇨🇦
Thanks Brian👍
Pappie i reckon your ingenuity between Chevy and Nissan or Datsun to some is exceptional👍👍👍well done from work East Coast...KZN...up putting South Africa on the map🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you Justin! Howzit to KZN
@@ratrodsafrica Snow on the Drakensburg so it was a cold weekend hows West Coast treating you
@@JustinPaul1st dude, I'm in the Southern Cape, near Mossel Bay. Cold as well
Love the channel, I'd like to share some photos of some of my builds with you.
You welcome Tim, would love to see. Email ratrods4africa@gmail.com
Hierdie een ook baie geniet. Dankie. 😀
Dankie Andre. Hoop julle maak ook vordering
You might want to brace that pedal assembly against the dash board support. Just a suggestion 👍
Sharp eyes there Mike! I also saw the flex...Frigging good suggestion, will definitely do it.
Enjoyed it Div!!! Your knocking stuff out!!!! Love the pedals!!!!
Thanks boet!
Nice, that pedal box and resovoirs fitted well after some minor modifications
Thanks man
The pedals are lekka
Thanks boet!
muy lekka!
Like many, I heard of you from halfass customs, and I already love your videos, jy kan afrikaans praat wanner jy wil.
Howzit boet! Welkom! Dink ek moet maar die Afrikaans net hou vir comments. Anders gaan die meeste ouens nie 'n clue he oor wat aangaan nie😂
Looking really good so far. Can't wait to see more videos soon duff. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thanks! Will do! All the best for you
Dig!
Cheers bro!
👍
🍻
Put the pedal to the metal.
Metal pedal to metal floor! 😅 The time will come!
Love watching you work on your project. Your work space is impeccably clean...You have to be a tool maker by trade. Am I wrong?
Thank you Matthew. The camera does not show the dust...😅 Officially I'm not anything by trade, but been building all kinds of stuff my whole life
Instead of bending the pedals I would have straddled the steering column which would put the pedals at the proper angle. They would still need lengthening though.
I looked at that. Can't work if you want to retain the original pedal assembly
Looks like you will be rolling down the road very soon!Stake bed or pickup bed?Keep up the good work!
Thanks man. Pickup bed, but something real custom!
Dearth you mounted the steering wheel on wrong side of truck! 😂
Ah damn! Why you only tell me now?😂
You can already feel the wind in your hair ... lol
😂 In my dreams, yes.
Hy kom mooi aan oom ry een van die dae met hom.
Dankie Nols, jy sal my eendag in jou driveway sien! 😅
great work as usual.. but are we going to pretend we didnt hear taylor swift playing in the background? lol
Sharp ears! 😄 Forgot to turn the radio down. For the record, this old gray beard is not a fan!
@@ratrodsafrica ha, I'm not judging brother..
@@mattrage1673 I know bro. Guess this old school rocker felt the need to justify 🤣
3 thumbs up.😂
Thank you! What, 2 from you and one from the wife? 😂
New subscriber here....Looks great! going through some of the past videos and love it. You ever think of doing a "crown vic" front end swap under some of the "old iron"? Shalom friend.
Welcome aboard! Thanks brother! Those Crown vic front ends are not available out here, but we make other plans. I have a project in mind for the future...
@@ratrodsafrica wow....I figured the crown vics were everywhere....I got a 60 Ford F250 I plan to crown vic swap...still investigating what to do on it. Thats why I love what you guys are doing. Oh, I seen a notice by Halfass kustoms that told us about you....
@@oldpath7357 that will be a nice build! Yes, things are a little different here in South Africa😅 We like to use the front end from a Jaguar XJ6 but they becoming scarce now. Another more modern option that is popular is the front suspension from a BMW E46
How many months to complete that amazing truck up and running? 😊
Good question! Got a lot going on, so hard to say...
@@ratrodsafrica okay enjoy with what you are doing and let us enjoy watching your vlogs🙂
@@staypositive6984 thanks brother!
I would NEVER criticize the welding under the dash ...... I dont want a KLAP to the back of my head !! !!
😂 Won't be me giving you a klap! More probably the dash itself when you get out, like I had a few times 😅
what kind of wire welder do you use i need to learn how and looks like you didnt start yesterday lol
It's a UniArc mig welder. Not a brand you would find everywhere. But brand is not important, just practice 😅
Sorry I don't know your name but, I watch on you tube Half Ass Customs from Canada.
Brent does things like you but he doesn't consider them rat rods.
I will mention your channel name next video he posts. 👍
Hey RDF, my name is Div, you say it like the first part of differential 😅 Yes, I've watched Brent, he is quite famous! I think my stuff is way more rusted than his😂 Will appreciate the mention if you feel it is worthy.
Sorry I ment me going to Africa...lol
What is a donut truck? 😂
I dont know, did I say that?
