- Hand built at his home shop by my buddy Dennis in Missouri.
Taken for a drive tonight.
Words that spring to mind: Thank You, Brutal, Monster, Amazing, Fast, Envy, You can only dream. ,
EV vehicles will never come close to how much excitement this car brings me
@@justbrandonll2773 Absolutely.
That "clutch buck" is no joke!! Awesome build brother!
Thank you on behalf of Dennis. He certainly got it right.
Not clutch buck. Big cam and a locked out distributor
Came for the truck, stayed for the KillDozer decal!
Agreed
That's a real beast ! love the stance and style of that c10. Amazing job
I think a lifetime of building cars, hotrods and owning a body shop all add to the mix when it comes to “getting it right on the night”
What an absolute masterpiece
On behalf of the builder, thank you. He did a real good job.
I've watched this atleast 100 times in the last two weeks. All I can think about is working on Jolene, my 1967 ford f100 ranger. I want her to sound like this one day. She may be primer gray but I want her to rip like this. I blew the 355 Chevy power plant up a few years ago. A few years before that I blew up the 302, but the next motor I'll take a little more care of. But I'll still send it. People that have never done that in person will never understand, that's idk, memories that last forever. Everyone loves my truck. I just wanna finally finish the ol girl so the world can enjoy it like many have enjoyed this video.
@blueridgeboy That is a MASSIVE compliment and reply.
You are very right, that Boom Tube exhaust makes the hair on your arms rise.
It is absolutely visceral, and the force of the acceleration makes you grin madly.
Many people will never understand it, but that is fine too, what counts is that we get to share this stuff.
I always hope that guys share this with their buddies and that it inspires more builds, wether it is a Honda Civic, a Lexus powered Ford Focus os some crazy diesel ratrod…….
We just need to keep the skills and passion alive.
@@Grizzmakes your welcome and I definitely agree with you as well. There's nothing like that feeling of being behind the wheel of something like that truck. We definitely need more people to join us and enjoy the passion. I know I've definitely shared this with my buddies an they all love it too.
That is the baddest truck I think I've ever seen in my life you are one lucky man
Have you seen this one? Hid son races it. ua-cam.com/video/BDuAjh1JQ1s/v-deo.html
You sir have done it correctly. Beautiful truck
Thank you on behalf of Dennis, He certainly built it right, with no shortcuts.
Just a reminder to you guys that want to put a high compression engine with a massive cam in it into your stick shift car let the bucking be a lesson. Their is no getting around it. The the mile long first gear in that thing is also a factor. That engine needs to cruise at 5000 5500 just to be happy. Below that it's all over that cam. So big cam + low speed is a no no. Good luck.
Yeah but it sounds so good once you’re lined out spinning her up to about 6k in 3rd. Man I miss my old Nova
Yeah I figured that out the hard way with my 55 chevy with a well built 496 with Muncie 4 speed thinking about either swapping a less aggressive cam or swapping to a turbo 400 with a stall
It's 🥰 perfect.
From watching a lot of the drive portion it doesn't seem like it would be fun to drive with all the bucking and stalling, not good for cruising it seems. That engine just wants to go fast in a straight line.
@@hankkrendl8952 engine doesn't care if its straight, turns, upside down, it just wants to sing...
Only if these vehicles could talk imagine the words they would say after yelling out,
“What the Frank?” The first time it felt seven times it’s original Horsepower!
Amazing build with little touches sparking many memorable conversations while igniting the creative juices in those that once believed they were creatively tapped out.
Knowing the dash was cast from empty beers drank presuming by those that worked on it or came by to bs while it was being built is remarkable touch!!
Hi Klaus, interesting comment you made about casting and beer cans.
If you look at the JONES gas/petrol pedal, that foot was cast in Oklahoma from beer cans and old alloy wheels melted into ingots and then used to cast various things.
I had the honor of seeing it in person at his shop. Super cool guy! And that boom tube is legit SO loud!!!! Like he says, that R07 motor is WOT or nothing. It is all go!
Dennis sure is a special kinda nice. Like me, he also never met a stranger. My life is better for having met him in 2016 though he was following my European and American shenanigans before we met. Never met a kinder, more generous guy.
@@Grizzmakes Beautiful truck, may it last for generations.
Wow...who needs a radio with this under the hood!?
Massive cam + stick shift + long gear = buck you city lol.
Good to see it parked over in that garage! Awesome job Dennis 👍
Absolutely Ed. You want to come do a LS conversion in 10 days in September?
Holy crap!!! That's what I wanna do to a pickup!!! That's the look!!
Agreed, he got the look very right.
Great vehicle for taking the wife for a drive.
"Sorry love, I can't hear a word you're saying". 🤣🤣🤣
😂 I suspect that she never will. Or maybe she will.
Watching all the way from new zealand. Amazing truck mate. It truly is
It certainly is.
Being the passenger in something that started as a random comment fueled by beer….. and building it partway then throwing it away and starting again with a better truck, going from patina build to a build his friend RIP Mike Mittler of Mittler Bros tooling and a whole NASCAR truck racing team can be proud of……. Priceless.
The Killdozer sticker is a fine touch!👌
Sure is. They are building a massive abattoir 200 yards from his home where he has lived over 30 years.
@@GrizzmakesI had a good chuckle myself. Near you?
A reminder that as much as you think you want a race motor in your daily driver, you just don't...
Yep I made that mistake once....or twice
I do 🤚
Probably won't pass smog in CA.😂😂😂
@@techs1smh13 who cares? No one wants to live in California anyways.
@@user-ge2qn6gp4o me neither but born and raised in once was the greatest state.leaving soon. 🍺
I love this truck so damn much I seriously can’t wait to get my swap done on my 62 c10 😫😫
Me to. Can't stop looking at it, every time I go outside 😩
Ive been wanting to do a similar build on my 1980 Malibu 😍 this video just gave me the mental green light to do it. So badass 🔥
And you wont regret the blood sweat and tears. Hope it comes out as you visualise it. Be true to your vision.
@@Grizzmakes thank you I most definitely will do that 🤝👍🏽
Damnit that looks like alotta frustrating fun!
One word Beautiful
An amazing build with masses of attention to detail.
Workin on a 72 nova same style. Not actually gonna race it but looks badass and the kids love it!
Great car choice for a build. I doubt Dennis intends to race this, but he has challenged cops to races before……
That's straight badass👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Certainly is buddy, certainly is. My face hurts from grinning every time Dennis takes me for a ride in something he built or has in his shop
Lol, grabbing a couple of roadies before driving an 800HP beast. Crazy.
Always. Always.
Dude's got a pounder in the cup holder and his buddy has an aluminum bottle 👍🏻
Never an empty hand, always a cold beer in reach…. Them’s the rules.
Absolutely love this truck!! Totally badass! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thanks a lot for your comments. Feel free to share if you think more guys/gals will enjoy it. The work that Dennis put into single handedly building it at home, from where he started, to what he has now is mind blowing. The truck really only wants to go VERY fast, so low speed driving is painful to say the least, but nail it and the grins get bigger.
My redneck dream ride!
@@davidkuharich9269 Many of us.
Absolutely wicked!
Thank you very much. It certainly is a brutal thing. Feel free to share it about as it seems to make a lot of people happy
@@Grizzmakes I shared it last night, great video!
Awesome truck
Beautiful pickup ..
Certainly is. He built a good one.
Can't drive without a beer? Speeding on a frontage road with no seat beats? New subscriber here!!!!! Love it!
No officer, that is all just movie props, done from the safety of my recliner chair.
You are right, any time spent with Dennis is fun and educational.
I learn new shit every year when I visit them.
Badass truck....use those beautiful harnesses next time though.
A work of art!
Absolutely love it! Made my day 👌
A THING OF BEAUTY .. IM IN LOVE.
Love the sound of popcorn
Certainly beats a lot of other sounds.
Awsome truck brother, a bit of a handful and a beautiful Song she sings, gota love that…!!!🤝
Gabriel, I think that is exactly why he built it. Absolutely brutal, and moves the air like thunder when you stand near it.
Looks like FUN!!!
Amazing truck, I’m a 62-66 fan!
They are neat trucks. I have one here in England in 1000 pieces I need to get back onto to finish restoring.
Awesome 😎 thank you
Had 66 fleetside short bed custom once, really miss that truck
Still have mine in 1000 pieces, waiting patiently for its full resto.
Enjoyed every bit of this video, truck is a bass ass, gramps too.
Thanks Kevin, Yup…… Not a bad word can be said about Gramps, he, myself and another buddy got pulled over by a State Trooper on Thanksgiving 2018 headed for New Orleans, doing 86 in a 65 by accident and he told the trooper he had two Brits (neither of us were Brits) who wanted to meet a Trooper, so he got us there as fast as possible. Trooper let us go with a gentle warning.
Footprint gas pedal like Joe Dirt lol love it
Thank you for the reply.
If you look closely you will see it is custom cast with the name Jones.
A buddy of ours in Tulsa cast it from old beer cans we melted down.
Video clips somewhere im my account
@@Grizzmakes Now that is cool!! Those footprint type pedals were on a lot of toys back in teh 60s, 70s.
Or guys would take one out of a boat
Essentially what a Nascar truck would look like in the 1960s. Should have been.
@@thedirtybubble9613 True. Probably less power though.
Beautiful
Thank you for your reply.
It is a great truck.
That’s awesome. Well done sir. Why can’t I have cool neighbors like you?
Well…… you could have cool neighbours, just need to move to Missouri.
Got the boom tubes on there 😮
Them and the rest
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 one badd ass 66 C-10
Certainly is. Thank you.
Wow. I love this thing.
Thank you.
It is even better in real life. Dennis built a show winner here, the finish is really great as you can see, and going out for a run in it…. Man, you can only grin madly and hold onto your beer.
@@Grizzmakes I would love to see this ride in person. What a beautiful build. And the engine tone!!!!!!!! Uhhhhh I could listen all day.
..i love the smell of gas fumes in the morning.....smells like...Victory.
LOL….. yes, that could be said. Made me chuckle here.
This is not a street friendly daily driver, but it is cool as hell
100% Robert, thanks for the reply. You got that right.
It was built on a limited budget, by a skilled guy, to do burnouts and be a hooligan when he can.
Daily driver never even entered his mind, when he started the build, he had a Hemi Challenger for some jobs and a few trucks.
I do a road trip in the USA every year and write it up. More about the truck around page 6.7 or 8

Dennis and his body shop was the paint and body supplier for many years through a friendship he had with the late Mike Mittler of Mittler Bros Tools.
Mike ran a large, privately owned and bankrolled NASCAR TRUCK RACING TEAM with several trucks, pretty much each set up for various tracks.
In 2008 one of the trucks caught fire after a crash at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The driver, PJ Jones (not a relative) got out safely.
The wreck was brought back to Wright City and years later in 2015 Mike gave it to Dennis, at this point the dream was still in its infancy.
Add the Nascar truck to an older body, before streetable race cars was a thing.
Over the following years, Dennis collected all the parts he would need to build his dream hotrod truck, including a couple of Hendrick race motors, transmissions etc.
Great Build 👍
Thank you. Dennis is good at this stuff.
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAD ASS truck. Idle needs to come up a bit 😎🏁
I suspect it is set up as good as it can be to give a balance of driveable performance. Regardless, it is a buzz when it comes on song.
That is wicked!!
Thanks a lot. Yes it certainly is.
Drinkin beers,bangin gearzzz,MERICA
Absolutely. And I love ‘Merica
Nice truck!!
Truck is all or nothing wants live near the limiter what a beast 💪
Absolutely right. Motor and trans were built to race around a NASCAR track at top speed, none of this school run or fetching bread and milk nonsense.
Awesome truck be neat to see what it does when on the proper surfaces.... Where you can wind that rpm up to where it was built to live....
Morning Justin. I would agree with you. Hopefully that will happen some time for the builder.
Lovely Ute, (Ours are no way that big) as we call it in Australia. Awesome power. What State are you in, really beautiful countryside.
Hi Adam
I live in the UK but go do a roadtrip every year.
Dennis who built the truck, lives near St Louis, Missouri.
This links to my yearly trip reports. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/222511/lonesome-cowboy-roadtrip-grizz-2022
Awesome build, got one of them nascar motors lying around for my vw jetta? 😂
I don’t think so. But a turbo would help
Hah...those would twist your jetta into a pretzel
Surprised your driveway is not all mud and dirt like you guys like it
Ain’t worth having if you can’t drive it… I’d be changing the clutch on that thing right now. Cam being massive doesn’t help any, but damn... Sick looking truck! 👍
CLutch is probably fine, take some duration/overlap out of it.
Damn this is so awesome. Do you happen to know what chassis he built that thing on? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.
If you know your Nascar truck racing it was a 2015 chassis if I remembered right.
It was driven by a Jones guy and caught fire. My buddy got it from Mittler Brothers Racing team.
Kinda feeling this with my 1980 longbed. Not as violent though.
I think we all build toward a vision and sometimes it delivers perfection and others we need more fine tuning. My Rezin Rockit build videos on here are an example. Parts of it perfect, parts drive me nuts. But overall I love it.
@@Grizzmakes RO7 or SB2.2? Love to see vids in car of him hitting a track and letting it breathe
That setup is NOT cheap
Gotta love a screaming V8. Til you gotta fill it again, anyways. Love the build, sounds a TREAT!
Thank you. I think any of us who decide to go with anything like this, knows the price of a ride, and choose to still do it.
@@Grizzmakes were a glutton for punishment
It's a pain in the ass having that radical of a cam with a standard trans trying to drive on the street isn't it lol.
Totally. But you make choices…… Imagine living with a Prius every day. I suspect Dennis hates that part of the motor too, but it is what it is. Choices.
@@Grizzmakes it absolutely is I made that choice on my 55 in my 496 BBC with a Muncie and she's quite hateful.
this is a dream...
That is how it started.
Nice truck..
Gracias.
On top of old smokey. Looks and sounds good though
Best part was him coming out with the beer . Fucking love it . Finishing touch. ua-cam.com/video/vWRflL5YOUY/v-deo.html
Just a regular Friday night.
I will be there the 24th for 3 weeks or road tripping mayhem.
@@Grizzmakes Yeah got to enjoy them Fridays 🤙. Maybe I run into you then . I like check her out.
No bugs around that place now.
Me thinks that a 8800rpm 355ci motor that you would replace valve springs as often as plugs. But it sounds hoo muma!
I suspect you are right.
Nice!!! Getting drunk being outlaws on the back roads
Not quite, but close enough. Always pushing the line a bit, but never too stupid, we did that shit 30-40 years ago.
That cam does not like being lugged, what fuel are you running? Love it.
Pump gas
I can't wait to build my hot rode truck it's a 85 square body Chevy im have a 85 LT1 Corvette and a ss 4 speed moonson transmission to go with it is that good or bad but im looking to make 500 to 900 horse power out of that LT1 engine
Beautiful chevy
Thank you, Dennis did a good job, looking at what he started with.
I wonder what his Blood O2 levels are
Blood O2 or blood Alcohol ? I suspect his blood oxygen was just fine.
Oops I wrecked my car motors good how much for the truck nice build
Not for sale YET.
BUT price may make your eyes water.
How badly does one want to own a hand built 675bhp Dyno tested monster?
Munssey Speed makes carbon fiber truck parts for this truck!
So is this an SB2 engine?? Sounds unbelievable!!
Thanks for the post.
I have no idea what type of engine it is by title as you named it, just that it is a Hendrick built motor. And it is nasty in a big way.
I LOVE IT !!!!!!
Crazy thing and nothing but a silly grin when you are around it.
That looks like Farmington North Carolina
Missouri it is.
Please tell me how wide are the wheels in the rear and what tires are you running. I love your truck
@@grumpy1962R Hi Charlie. 10 inches wide. NASCAR Goodyears. They obviously don’t last a year 😉
@@grumpy1962R And of course 325-50-15 is what size tire it is
Would be much easier to drive with a different clutch, I'm guessing it still has a multi-disk mini clutch in it. Wouldn't sound as cool though.
I have no clue, living here in England, I do not know what a full NASCAR Truck needs to go rolling down the track. Under the skin this a is a full racing truck.
Clutch wouldnt affect the sound. Its a ton of cam and lots of timing lead that makes it buck/jerk til it comes up on the cam
Yes sir
solid acc lincage ,, gets it from cab ,, needs cable accalrator cable , not solid . cab moves pulls on gas pedal ..
Bet it doesnt move and is mounted by an engine plate rather than motor mounts
Animal, wowers
Totally
The closest I've got to that was my 66 C10 short wide, small block 350 RV camed the performer manifold 600 holly , Turbo 350 and Stock 12 bolt rear end 😎😁
Love that old heavy Chevy but I'm glad I'm not the neighbor would not want to hear all that noise but love the heavy Chevy
10 Acres ensures very little is a problem.
AAAUGH That NASCAR Rev Limiter At 10:42 and is Loud Also It Made Your Mic Broke and Destroyed
It is a brute, I was recording with just my phone. Please share it widely.
Here is another from the same place. ua-cam.com/video/BDuAjh1JQ1s/v-deo.html
well cool 👌
I have absolutely no use for that truck.......and I really want one.
You and me and a few more guys and gals.
This is ALL the kool🏁
For sure is. Share it widely.
Try to drink your road beer in this truck!
I tried…. Failed.
The grin on my face was too big to be able to drink 😉
Nice truck. Btw it’s Hendrick not Hendricks.
Correct. My bad.
How that guys foot resisted a startup throttle wack I’ll never know??
I guess it is a bit scientifically decided….. heating up the trans oil’s etc before you start it up, having hand built it, a bit of mechanical sympathy till its warmed up all them bits that works best warm makes sense. Dennis certainly is not scared of being a hooligan.
Too expensive to be starting it cold and revving it hard
Are those cold air intakes on the sides of your hood? I would very much like to see how that is setup underneath. My undergoes temps is killing my tune.
@@morganpowell2999 hand made
Hand shaped
Hand fitted.
Sheet metal and screen wire.
Real old propper mechanic work for air intake and cooling.
No fancy spreadsheets just 67 years of Redneck ingenuity and experience.
I am sure you know how that works.
PS. It’s a real tidy job
Very cool truck. However if it’s not going to be raced, i would have chosen an automatic to make it more pleasurable to drive. No matter how good you are with a clutch, that engine will always buck at low engine speed. Too much cam and compression to control it. Cool build though
I guess we all know what we want.
That was not low rpm with most of that bucking. It is mostly not set up right with the carb. And that was not because of the clutch. He had it fully engaged. It is the engine tune
@@helpful5539 Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about posts lol
