    We’re ecstatic out here Dennis that you and Deb have decided to do this channel. You both have been key fixtures in the race scene for a long time and watching you handing the keys over to your kids has been an awesome chronicle of American life. The information on this channel will keep the up and coming hot rodders come back for more! This truck along with ‘55 210 and the ‘55 savoy are great examples of the classic American hot rods. Hot rodding is an uniquely American phenomenon and you guys are great examples of it! Keep up the great content and we’ll keep tuning in!!

The quality at which you build is remarkable because you like complicated things made simple. I wish i had a chance to do what you do and have half the knowledge you have. Thank you for your amazing ideas and builds.

    I was wondering what happened to this truck! I saw it a long time ago on Alex's channel and I fell in love with it because of all the "outside of the box" engineering that is in it! It's totally show worthy, but it's totally practical. I can't wait to see it finished! An idea for the steering coupler... tractors use a spring loaded, push button collar coupler to attach the drive shaft for whatever implement it's towing, onto the pto shaft out the back of the tractor. No tools needed. The implements drive shaft slides and extends to reach the tractor and the coupler locks onto the pto shaft with the button. Just an idea. Beautiful work! Have fun!

    Love your truck, Dennis. It's perfect. I built a 50 Ford F2 with a flathead V8 back in the late 70's, and I had a pair of 7 1/2 gallon oak whiskey kegs from the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg I mounted them under the bed behind the cab, and made a tool box out of the driver's side, and a cooler out of the passenger side. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the road!

    That is way sweet!!! And yes I'm a little jealous. About this time last year right before I had to get a bypass. I bought a 1963 C10 with a good running 327 , 5 speed trans and a 2 speed rearend. The friend I bought it from said I had to take a 1963 GMC 5000 he said the moter is stuck but pretty sure just rings stuck . It has a 409 in it , it come from the factory with a big block V6. Somewhere along the line someone put a 409 in it. Heck even has headers, they had to be cut to fit. I put some marvel mystery oil and transmission fluid in the cylinders. I have it broken lose I either hope to find a roller t bucket, are have to make a rat rod. All the T buckets I seen so far are out if my price range. I live just outside of hot springs Arkansas now. But I grew up just outside of Joiner Arkansas on the family farm I know all the MSO crew , they are a few years younger than me. My best friend is Jeff James who has the big blocker killer camaro. Best of luck to you , your daughter and wife and the rest of the family. May Jesus bless yall and keep yall safe driving and racing. Reed Ryals
