A rat rod diesel smokestack spectacle, he calls it "The Duke" – a rolling manifestation of Duke's larger-than-life personality. Cruising through Tucson on dually mud terrains with a Dana 70 rear end, the bagged 1930 Ford Model A rat rod, with its commanding 1993 first gen Cummins 12-valve diesel, dual whistling compound turbos, boisterous train horn and imposing stacked front exhaust, gets attention where ever it goes. Nicole meets up with Dustin Duke to discover the nuances of the 47RH transmission with its Kilduff shifter first-hand, and breaks the tires loose on a desert road.


MORE ABOUT DUKE:
Known simply as Duke, Dustin Duke grew up in North Pole, Alaska and now resides with his wife in Tucson, Arizona. Referring to himself as a redneck with a motor addiction, his positive attitude towards hard work is infectious.

  • As a german i admire not only your unreal build, but also the freedom of your country, able to go onto street with it.
  • @JamieDuke-en4uu
    I am so proud of you honey, and Nicole it was so fun meeting you and having you guys hang out a couple days. Thanks again for coming and doing this video!

  • @Davivd2
    That's the coolest rat rod that I've ever seen. I love all of the chain work. This looks like it rolled tight through the movie screen of a Mad Max movie and into the real world.
  • @stephenbrown571
    With his prankster attitude this is by far. The best video I’ve seen from Nicole.
  • Nicole’s enthusiasm comes shining through and I was smiling and laughing throughout! Simply infectious! 👍🏽
  • @DonDuke-mf4bm
    To God be the glory son for all your talents and especially your tender heart. Thank you Nicole for spending time with our son. So grateful to you and your crew. Our door is always open here in Alaska. Mom and Dad…
  • @tomcolegrove5491
    Here she goes again - knocking it out of the ballpark! Big thanks to Dustin for sharing 'The Duke' with us all and thanks to Nicole for bringing us along for the ride!
  • @Johnny-tt8zc
    Nicole is at home in anything mechanical. She can’t hide that. Have a peaceful week.🌲
  • @worldsails2000
    I'm not a fan of Rat Rods but I can appreciate all of the skill, time, and effort that was put into building this.
  • @dawidlesnik2995
    First and the only "car" movie that made me goosebumps... Holy crap... Its insane.
  • @Jake-ps3cq
    Duke is a solid dude. He posted his progress on Facebook and it was fascinating to see it come together. That being said to see it in person is unreal.
  • @RoninDosho
    I think I've said it before" the videos keep getting better and better". The camera work and editing, always 1st class. And somehow you find interesting people with over the top vehicles. Dustin, What an Epic Ride you labored over. Thanks to you, Nicole, and the crew.
  • @CalmoOmlac
    It's so wild for me that you can drive this on the road. Here in Germany you wouldn't drive this 5 minutes before police would stop you and you're in big big trouble then :)
  • @jackaroyan2451
    She's never had so much fun in her life !! What a machine !!
  • @Abrikosmanden
    What a delightful guy 😀 You rarely see a car and its owner match so well!!!! This channel is SO good!!!!
  • @joergarms1
    I like every single bolt on this masterpiece. What a beast. That sound gives me goosebumps.
  • @weltonreds
    Epic...such a genuine guy and a real character. A real gem Nicole..kudos!
  • This is the type of thing that reminds people that some folks never truly grow up. The toys just get bigger, and more amazing than ever. Never change Duke, this is the type of mechanical and physical art I can truly get behind.
