This is a one of a kind Rat Rod with an Ultra4 style chassis. It was the cover feature in Crawl issue #52 just a couple months back, and was a hit at the 2015 SEMA show last week. Fourwheeler named it one of 3 they'd like to take home: Yes Please: 3 4x4s We Want To Take Home From SEMA 2015 They also covered it with a separate article with a short vid of me blabbing about it: SEMA 2015 Show Stopper: Jeremy Benson̢۪s Incredible Cummins-Powered 1951 Dodge Power Wagon
