Wow Bill, somebody really blessed you with that crank. I know you just shake your head sometimes at the generosity, but then your on the giving end to many folks and their appreciative.🙂
@@SweatyFatGuy could use a Kenny Powers up here too... last guy I hired on lasted all of 3 hours. Set him to pulling a trans on an old van, went to get lunch for us and when I returned he was gone... with a pile of my tools to boot. Effed up bit is the lil shit is a nephew...
@@Loki13M had a kid who worked for me in my shop in the late 90s. Kept finding my tools with my marks on them at the pawn shops. Figured out who it was and made damn sure he knew it was a VERY bad idea to take my tools.
@@SweatyFatGuy I hear that. Was trying to give this kid a break and help him out but he chose what he thinks is the easier route... His surprise is comming next weekend, already spoke with his father... who invited me to the fam BBQ so I can corner his ass and hopefully get my tools back. Best part is I won't have to lift a finger... the kids mom will put him straight. My brothers wife used to be in MMA... and has a very dim outlook on thieving. I'm 6'2", 225# and in good shape.... and I do my best to stay on her good side.
Bill, My husband says I'm crazy because I talk about "Bill and Vicki," and he says, you don't know them.....well I feel like we do, we get so excited to see your videos whenever you make new ones, and I find a smile plastered across my face as the dogs are chasing the remote control cars or scrappy is trying to squiggle outta Tommy's arms to eat his beef and noodles ... you really bring joy to us every night!!! And I absolutely love watching your videos, However, when I watched Billys video, and Tommy was all shook up, I thought oh my word! This is what happens when they don't have their dad with them. We know you would NEVER let Tommy go without him being ready! I'm praying they stay safe, you've done an amazing job raising them, they wouldn't know anything about cars if it weren't for you being an awesome dad and showing them everything they know. But one thing they don't have is your years of experience, I'm praying they learn it through the years and not in a scary bad way racing. Sending love and can't wait to see what you do with Miss Vicki's truck... I'm hoping we get to shop at restoration world with you Saturday !!!! Take care and thanks for sharing ❣
Man, Kenny is an absolute blessing to have. I’m so glad you cherish and appreciate him. That man deserves a lot in life and I hope his dreams come true. You both are great dudes 🤙🏼
Bill I think you need to take Mark from A 1 for lunch that man has been your shining light always comes through and just gives that old customer service. Very rare these days ! Really miss that now days
Cherish every minute you have with your family bill, my father passed away suddenly on Sunday . He was only 60 , what I wouldn’t give for more time . There’s nothing more important than family
The best life. Simple and very blessed. So humble and kind all of you are, and you’re family! It’s a pleasure to see this and makes me motivated to make videos one day!
Ahso, I just watched The boys video of their street racing and in the words of the great Paul Harvey(Now we know the rest of the story). Well ol Kenny powers (salt of the earth) shows up shit happens! Best of luck Bill love the content and put that lunati to good use! Uncle Bob will make that bullet rip! Keep your chin up brother
Wow Bill how awesome of someone to donate that crank, always remember that you do so much for so many by just posting your videos! Like I’ve said from the beginning your narrating skills are top notch! Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers, much love my friend!
The content you’ve been putting together is fantastic & great to watch. It’s been said plenty of times, but your an inspiration to many on more levels than one. Big kid with a BIG heart, humble & always gracious… Thank you for being you !!!
Bill just wanna out out there you have one of the nicest, caring, humble, and most beautiful family I have ever seen. You have taught those kids very well and it’s just awesome to watch you guys on a daily basis do what you guys do. Keep up the good content “Old Man” as I will always be watching until you stop uploading videos. Much love from Boston Ma
We ended up with about 5inches of snow here in Kentucky. Been spliting and stacking wood all day today. Saw the teaser video Tommy put up today. Crazy photage!! and can't wait to see the whole event photage. My favorite part was when Tommy says "I think I'm a little outta my element" 😂😂 shit was lit and so was The Old Man's blood pressure watching it 😂
SCHNEIDER RACING CAMS, they still are a small mom and pop shop here in San Diego Ca and if you did not know they opened in 1958 as Crower-Schneider for 2 years when Bruce left to start Crower in his back yard until his passing, he still was using that shop with his son Danny for his Bonneville stuff. Maybe give them a call they do business old school.
Bill. That is awesome on the crank . 👌 it's good to hear that the motor was not damaged that bad. Can't wait to see the next video 👍 👋 Have a great day, Bill
Long shot, but Kelford Cams out of New Zealand are a great company that will custom grind damn near anything. Loving the videos mate the old truck is beautiful 👍
Miss my rc trucks and cars had to sell mine when i broke my leg for the second time. Plan was to get my son one for christmas and get me one to do something together since im limited to what i can do with him outside. Sadly lost my job in oct and me him and my girlfriend living in hotel now scraping by jobs aint easy to find at the moment in a small town. Lost my aunt last week to pneumonia your videos have been helping me get by mentally. Its been a heck of a time and love seeing your videos pop up. Tear up some snow with them trucks that use to be my favorite thing to do with mine besides the car. Look forward to the truck build yall stay warm up there. Bless yall stay safe
Truly love your videos. Seeing how others live and breath. Been a real eye opener. And very inspiring. Even to the point I've started my own channel. Thank you Bill and your family.
@@mikemiller3007 it's called " BITSA " UA-cam channel. I hope this is ok with you Bill. I never intended to promote from my comment. Thank you very much for your interest Mike.
That 5th scale is crazy cool😁. I want one..lol Wow, nice touch by the gift giver, Lunati crank! God Bless the person who gifted it. Glad to see Tommy`s truck back. Why not a 700R4? Bill, people love you for your honesty and humility. Stay safe, stay warm, God Bless.
He wants the 4L80E so he can tow with the truck. 700r4 and 4L60s are notorious for being problematic. They've even had their run at using a 700r4 in Billy's truck in the earlier years. Didn't turn out well lol.
Just hook the linkage rod to the lever on the automatic you just have to count the clicks 1 for reverse 2 for nuetral 3 for drive I've done it before works great
I put a 350 from an early 70s Impala in my 64 short box. It had a 230 6 and 3 speed on the column. The engine mounts that were on the 350 worked in the pickup. I kept the 3 speed and all bolted in the original position. I had to change the radiator hoses, throttle linkage rod,, and exhaust. I even used the 6cyl flywheel and clutch. Best of luck and will be following the build on Vicki's pickup, I sure miss mine. I did this swap back in the 80s yes I'm 66 years old now.
That area of Kentucky is very very nice I have alot of family in Inez, Paintsville, Prestonsburg, Warfield KY, and some in Kermit West Virginia. I love it down there. I know of tons of places to go camping, 4 wheeling, and racing.
Bill, gotta say your inner child makes OUR inner child jealous whenever you get to bust out your trucks to play. What a great wholesome way to have some fun and burn some fuel. What a mix of emotions with seeing that truck of Tommy's back at the shop, glad it's not BAD after all this time of that thing being held hostage.
as always love the videos. Billy may have helped get you going but without a doubt it is because of you and the Misses and the pups for sure. And there is no doubt me and you have the RC addiction I love them just as much as you do
Nice thanks for the entertainment this morning just got loaded here in Fairfield headed towards your direction to do one delivery at least I got a video to watch ad I ride God bless you and yours old man have a great day sir
Hey Mr. Bill, this is Bubba from Alabama. I have been watching your channel for a little over a year now, Love the content, this is my first comment. Me and my wife build a 1966 C10 stepside with a 454 and a muncie four-speed. The six cylinder motor mounts are back farther than the V8 and they make a nice crossmember on eBay, that you can eliminate the bell housing transmission mounts with. We kept the patina and painted all the bottom side and under the hood satin black. I had to make a plate to relocate the pivot ball for the Z bar. Good luck with you and miss Vicki,s project
Bill if you are interested I have a factory tach Dash in my garage somewhere but I'm not going to look for it unless you're interested cuz it's going to be a big job to find it I have a really nice steering wheel with the Chrome horn ring
Hey Bill! Another nice video! I watched the boys video awhile ago and I got to tell ya street racing in general can be pretty dangerous! Worry about them especially Billy as he has no fear. I just don’t want anything to happen to them. Some of the roads they drag on are full of tree’s, light poles etc. but the old Falcon did good. Keep up the great content and can’t wait to see how Miss Vicky’s truck sounds and looks. Until tomorrow enjoy! Your friend!
Just found your channel recently. Gotta say a guy who takes his dogs everywhere is alright with me. You guys seem like a really nice bunch. thanks for the content!
For the motor mounts on the 64…the rubber mounts has one bolt that holds it to the frame stand from underneath. The 3 bolts holding it to the engine bracket, those same bolt hole line up with the 3 on the SBC. Just bolt those (or new ones) to the SBC, then set it in and bolt to the frame stand.
Great video Bill as always! I'm loving that C10 more and more ... looking forward to seeing y'all cruise it through the beautiful country side!! Prayers for you and your family always!
Every time I see those dogs chasing the rc trucks it reminds me of my brother's bulldog chasing his monster gt. That dog literally didn't move for a week, he just chased that thing until he couldn't anymore lol.
Hey pop's, speedway motors has everything you need for the c-10, Yes, my dad had a 64' stepside c-10 and he said it should link up because there's a rod linkage kit for the column to work with anything from a powerglide to a th400. Even though his was a 283 4-speed in which the guy couldn't drive the four speed and showed my dad what he did once he bought it off him..
Hey Bill, keep your chin up ... I was a wild kid growing up and was quite hard on my parents as well... My only true regret in life at this point is that I was so hard on them... Always tried to be the best at everything I have ever done, but have to admit I was never the best even though giving my best... One thing that is for certain however is that I have the best parents and I’m quite certain that all that are involved will some day see that in your family as well... On another note Howard’s cams is here in Oshkosh WI... I head over to Competition products (were Howard’s Cams is) quite a bit and actually have a few good friends that work there... Think about it, you could actually drive up sometime and get a cam and pick up some of the best overalls at the same time in Oshkosh B’gosh... Well, if being honest not sure if they are even made here anymore... Who knows, maybe they are now made in the same place as Ms, Vicki’s snowman!!!
I had a 63 Chevrolet longbed with a 292 and 3 speed. Pulled it and put a 350/turbo 350 from a Monte Carlo in it. Made a linkage from a solid steel rod to use the three speed shift linkage on the turbo 350. If I remember right just got the rod from Home Depot and bent it in the garage with a vice to work. Lasted the two years I had it, and last I heard it was still working.
Not sure how to go about it but its possible!!! I had a 66 Ford f100 that had a automatic trans with using the 3 on the tree shifter and column Hopefully yall can get it worked out!!! Love the content and this channel, SRC , SRC Photo and DNR Auto are my favorite channel to watch!!! Great job guys!!!
Great Post! On converting the steering column, you can either just modify the shifter linkage you have, or buy a CPP shifter linkage kit, however the real issue is below: The 3 speed column has enough movement/throw to shift a turbo 350/400 but the gear detents is the real issue. It can easily get bumped to get out of gear, easily moved from drive to reverse etc. I do believe they make a detent kit to convert one however I have never used one of these. Also there will be no gear indicator on the column as well. I have done this on a truck or two that I have personally drove but if my wife/kids would drive it, I would probably say put a 60-72 automatic column in it. Should be able to find a non-tilt pretty easy.
Yeah bill you said the same thing to me…. Wanted to say thanks and send a care package…. For my donation to y’all’s build. Have not heard a word.. and my merch order was canceled!
Great video and love seeing the dogs and rc trucks. Know you a old pro driving in that snow but still be careful. We had couple inches in Memphis but it's already gone. Luv y'all and stay warm.
Love your videos, On the motor mounts V8 frame mounts go in the front holes I believe when you keep the 6 cyl frame mounts I’m it the distributor sits against firewall. My dad loves the trucks 64-66. Always got them as 6 cylinder and put v8 in them. He may still have a set of frame mounts for a V8 I check. Love the videos keep up the good work.
Three things; 1) looking at the engine parts, pistons & roller cam takes me back to the days of machining blocks and components that I started doing in 1984 for Booth-Arons and then from 1994- 2002 I did the same for Andy Mannarino @Total Automotive Engineering where I did get to help on the dyno. I really miss those days! I'm now 68 years old, been retired 6+.yrs. 2) Seeing you on that tractor moving snow brought me back to two years I did that on a farm style tractor with No Cab! it was a bit much. 3) You could've let us hear more of the engine(s) on your rc trucks! 😄Good Luck in all your endeavors...
You can tie the linkage together or tack them together and it will work with the automatic. The dash light problem seems to be a power issue. The dome light works on the switch so it it may be the spring on the switch that dims and brightens the lights. Just a few things I've ran into with mine to check out.
Your channel is awesome. Thanks for showing the rc collection love the light kit on the trucks. And that 1/5th scale is so cool. My wife loves hearing about Vicki and the dogs so much. Also Vicki's c10 is also so nice, cant wait to see what you do to it.
I know you want to keep the truck period correct but you should check out the Dakota Digital RTX line gauge cluster assembly, it’s all factory appearing analog layout but LED backlit with modern read outs and you can set warnings alerts for Miss Vicky so she can just drive and not have to pay attention to any gauges. It would especially be a nice combination with the addition of Vintage Air a/c and heat system inside the cab. You can also get it with the automatic PRNDL built in for that 4L80E.
I have a 9' blower on the back of my 4240 and give it back to God, interesting thing though, everyone can find my phone number when a storm hits. 😁 Nice video work on the RC trucks Bill ✔

Watching your dogs chase the rc trucks gave me a big laugh and a smile,thanks.
Good to see the kids made it out of Atlanta safely. Can't wait to see more projects.

We ended up with about 5inches of snow here in Kentucky. Been spliting and stacking wood all day today. Saw the teaser video Tommy put up today. Crazy photage!! and can't wait to see the whole event photage.
My favorite part was when Tommy says "I think I'm a little outta my element" 😂😂 shit was lit and so was The Old Man's blood pressure watching it 😂
We ended up with 9 1/2 inches. I'm about an hour south of where bill lives.
We got about 8 inches here in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia
With the drifting and blowing its hard to say exactly but we were pushing about a foot of snow with 2 foot drifts!!
What part of Kentucky? I have alot of family in Inez.
@@eric63377 im near Berea Ky. Inez is about 75 miles north east of me.
Automatic would be nice but I had a 63 Chevy II with a column shift and it's fun driving at least till it jams😇😇
Was great seeing billy and Tommy, thankful I live in Florida and don’t have to deal with snow! Looking forward to the c10!

That thing pulling the 55 on a trailer would be sweet. You and Vick could go anywhere in the US and then cruise the city together then on to the next.
Just hook the linkage rod to the lever on the automatic you just have to count the clicks 1 for reverse 2 for nuetral 3 for drive I've done it before works great

we got 7 inches of snow in Spartanburg SC it was good to see Tommy and Allison its 3 am so I am going to bed in S.C.
I got 6” up here in central NC but didn’t get that 3/4” of ice they were calling for thank god!
Those gas powered trucks look like a good time in the snow. I had a Clod Buster when I was a kid and it was fun in the winter
That Great Wall and TAT are about the only things I miss living in that area, grew up just down the street from there.
That 5th scale sounds like a snowmobile lol love watching the dogs chasing them around

Great video Bill as always! I'm loving that C10 more and more ... looking forward to seeing y'all cruise it through the beautiful country side!! Prayers for you and your family always!
Great video Bill!, that crank was a really great gift!. You have a lot of support from your viewers and that's awsome!. That last RC truck hauls ass!.
Every time I see those dogs chasing the rc trucks it reminds me of my brother's bulldog chasing his monster gt. That dog literally didn't move for a week, he just chased that thing until he couldn't anymore lol.
Always thumbs up. Great content thanks for the update God bless all
Hey pop's, speedway motors has everything you need for the c-10, Yes, my dad had a 64' stepside c-10 and he said it should link up because there's a rod linkage kit for the column to work with anything from a powerglide to a th400. Even though his was a 283 4-speed in which the guy couldn't drive the four speed and showed my dad what he did once he bought it off him..
Any day you can play with the rc trucks is a good day buddy
Hello from Prestonsburg.
Thank you for sharing.👍👀
Hey Bill, keep your chin up ... I was a wild kid growing up and was quite hard on my parents as well... My only true regret in life at this point is that I was so hard on them... Always tried to be the best at everything I have ever done, but have to admit I was never the best even though giving my best... One thing that is for certain however is that I have the best parents and I’m quite certain that all that are involved will some day see that in your family as well... On another note Howard’s cams is here in Oshkosh WI... I head over to Competition products (were Howard’s Cams is) quite a bit and actually have a few good friends that work there... Think about it, you could actually drive up sometime and get a cam and pick up some of the best overalls at the same time in Oshkosh B’gosh... Well, if being honest not sure if they are even made here anymore... Who knows, maybe they are now made in the same place as Ms, Vicki’s snowman!!!
Praying for the whole family
I had a 63 Chevrolet longbed with a 292 and 3 speed. Pulled it and put a 350/turbo 350 from a Monte Carlo in it. Made a linkage from a solid steel rod to use the three speed shift linkage on the turbo 350. If I remember right just got the rod from Home Depot and bent it in the garage with a vice to work. Lasted the two years I had it, and last I heard it was still working.
Not sure how to go about it but its possible!!! I had a 66 Ford f100 that had a automatic trans with using the 3 on the tree shifter and column Hopefully yall can get it worked out!!! Love the content and this channel, SRC , SRC Photo and DNR Auto are my favorite channel to watch!!! Great job guys!!!
Great Post!
On converting the steering column, you can either just modify the shifter linkage you have, or buy a CPP shifter linkage kit, however the real issue is below:
The 3 speed column has enough movement/throw to shift a turbo 350/400 but the gear detents is the real issue. It can easily get bumped to get out of gear, easily moved from drive to reverse etc. I do believe they make a detent kit to convert one however I have never used one of these. Also there will be no gear indicator on the column as well. I have done this on a truck or two that I have personally drove but if my wife/kids would drive it, I would probably say put a 60-72 automatic column in it. Should be able to find a non-tilt pretty easy.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU PUT OUT FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN ON CRABS AND STUFF
Yeah bill you said the same thing to me…. Wanted to say thanks and send a care package…. For my donation to y’all’s build.
Have not heard a word.. and my merch order was canceled!
Just watched Billy's video. Awesome content down south.
But..why? It 2022😂
Medina, ohio got slammed hard..
Love those pups out playing
Definitely love where the channel is going..
Great video and love seeing the dogs and rc trucks. Know you a old pro driving in that snow but still be careful. We had couple inches in Memphis but it's already gone. Luv y'all and stay warm.
Those rc trucks looks like a lot of fun .
Love your videos, On the motor mounts V8 frame mounts go in the front holes I believe when you keep the 6 cyl frame mounts I’m it the distributor sits against firewall. My dad loves the trucks 64-66. Always got them as 6 cylinder and put v8 in them. He may still have a set of frame mounts for a V8 I check. Love the videos keep up the good work.
*in not I’m lol
Three things; 1) looking at the engine parts, pistons & roller cam takes me back to the days of machining blocks and components that I started doing in 1984 for Booth-Arons and then from 1994- 2002 I did the same for Andy Mannarino @Total Automotive Engineering where I did get to help on the dyno. I really miss those days! I'm now 68 years old, been retired 6+.yrs. 2) Seeing you on that tractor moving snow brought me back to two years I did that on a farm style tractor with No Cab! it was a bit much. 3) You could've let us hear more of the engine(s) on your rc trucks! 😄Good Luck in all your endeavors...
I sense a HR power tour vehicle in the works..👍😉👍
Stay warm buddy! Excitedly awaiting progress on the 64’!
You can tie the linkage together or tack them together and it will work with the automatic. The dash light problem seems to be a power issue. The dome light works on the switch so it it may be the spring on the switch that dims and brightens the lights. Just a few things I've ran into with mine to check out.
Your channel is awesome. Thanks for showing the rc collection love the light kit on the trucks. And that 1/5th scale is so cool. My wife loves hearing about Vicki and the dogs so much. Also Vicki's c10 is also so nice, cant wait to see what you do to it.
I know you want to keep the truck period correct but you should check out the Dakota Digital RTX line gauge cluster assembly, it’s all factory appearing analog layout but LED backlit with modern read outs and you can set warnings alerts for Miss Vicky so she can just drive and not have to pay attention to any gauges. It would especially be a nice combination with the addition of Vintage Air a/c and heat system inside the cab. You can also get it with the automatic PRNDL built in for that 4L80E.
I have a 9' blower on the back of my 4240 and give it back to God, interesting thing though, everyone can find my phone number when a storm hits. 😁 Nice video work on the RC trucks Bill ✔
