Details
This custom-built 1951 Jeep Rat Rod pickup was finished 2012. It is powered by two side-by-side 1937 V8-60 flathead engines, with belt drive to a three-speed manual transmission. With 4-wheel hydraulic brakes. The 60hp Flatheads are connected by V-belts to a main shaft that connects to the flywheel and hooks up to the transmission. The builder, Jeff Austin of Salem, OR, took the back end of a regular-sized 85hp flathead and cut the blocks off right in front of the rear main. Austin was a retired engineer who had been working and building cars since he was 15. He also cut the crankshaft off and used the rear main and the crankshaft flange, which holds the flywheel. The rear portion of the block is also the bellhousing for an early Ford transmission. The frame was built from rectangular 2x3 tubing. The frame forms a 'V' because it had to be wide enough in the front for the two engines, yet narrow enough to steer without problems, and it also had to accommodate the body from where it narrows again and then runs parallel to support the rear end. Austin fabricated the frame, and engineered and machined all the parts to make them fit. The transmission is a 1934 Ford Toploader. This Jeep has early Ford hydraulic brakes, along with many modifications and special additions. It was the subject of a 6-page feature article in RebelRodz magazine in February 2015 (Issue Number 40). A copy of the magazine and pictures of the build goes with the Jeep. **TITLED AS 1951 ASVE** **VEHICLE MAY NOT BE STREET LEGAL IN ALL STATES**
