Lovin' this build! I carry a Wesclox Bull's Eye pocket watch, circa 1957-1959. $1 when new. Guaranteed accurate within 3 minutes a day, which was pretty good for a watch with all mechanical (no jewels) works. I'm 55. Back in the '70's, when we were kids, my cousin and I used the watch as the timer on our Lincoln Log "bombs". It got treated as a toy. It is my daily time piece. 60+ years old and still performs flawlessly! The older the better! Back when even budget items made in the U.S. of A. were top notch!
back in about 1955 I was 10 years old. I had a pocket watch for my bib top overalls. used a shoe lace instead of a chain. love your project, its coming along nicely..
I love the fenders, and the grill set back like you have it it adds a uniqueness to the buggy, but as you said Ken it only has to please you, but it is nice to have your peers appreciate it as well. I find for myself I appreciate the effort, creativity and build processes involved that creators put into their projects and the joy that they have when it is TO a finished point of using it that to me as a subscriber adds to my enjoyment as well.

@@whatyoumakeofit6635 I think that they assume we are a soft touch and can be suckered into selling our country Do a Google search using this and have a gander (look) '"Reputation of the Anzac Fighter's" We are renound to have the best SAS in the world with the toughest training etc. China has been trying to buy up our stations, (million acre type farms) ports, roads and even have brought up farms along a huge water way in the Murray basin over East, and dammed it to control the flow of liquid gold, water,!! you can see where that could go can't you? They are doing the same to places like Vietnam and many more around the world. They also are upset that our Premier in Western Australia here has stopped a aggravating billionaire, Clive Palmer selling our resource sovrenty of a huge iron ore mine to them which then would mean why should they buy our iron ore when they can rub our noses in the circumstances. (Side note all the other minerals like gold, silver palladium etc are by products of the purifying process so they make nearly as much profit from those as the iron ore) Search for Clive Palmer suing the western Australian govt for 30 billion dollars he is trying to bankrupt our state Also China and those militarised islands are playing hsvock with shipping as well. Yup I think you could say we are having a few problems with them and all this is also attributed to Donald Trump's attitude to them and we thus being at this point getting shaky on still being allies with America, they are taking it out on us Mr Trump has screwed us as well to add fuel to the fire. We live in interesting times. Tony from Western Australia
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 China does own a fair percentage of Australia, along with the power grids in New South Wales and Victoria. Not to mention get a 99year lease on the major port in the Northern Territory Which the US Navy refuse to use. Oh and they own Coal Mines and Iron Mines too along with Dairies and Cattle Station Yep China is pretty well entrenched in Australia
Wow ! usually expect these videos to premier at 4 AM ! Spent a rainy day here in the Ozarks in the shop working on "my" Waylon Wire inspired rat rod. Love the way your truck is coming together ! I'm so motivated and inspired , I'm going back out to the shop ! Keep up the good work !
It’s difficult to put in time for ones passion for rat rodding when home economics needs attention but I believe you have it well balanced Waylon.We out here in inter web land appreciate any content you have.Love your channel
Hey, Ken, if I lived in your 'Hood, Id be over every day helping. I just got too many T model Fords to keep on the roads to come up there just now. Man , you keep up what you're doing, and I'll keep these old FORDS running down here.Same Team different place. Love you bro!
I love concept. Parker Ranch had an old Jimmy like that set up as a cattle truck my Daddy used to drive. The grill reminds me of those old White's. Parker Ranch had a couple of those too. I'd love to own a Jimmy like that...build a Rat Rod Wrecker. A 5X3 twin sticks, but a 6V-53T engine. I don't think you will find a design even close to what you're doing. Love where you're going with this!!!
Waylon the channel is in my wife,s name, i,am B - A. love the new project, you were talking about lowering more ,and problems you ma-have doing so try some dust aprons and running boards to get a lower look
Hey Waylon, the first thing I do when I start one of your vids is smash that like button cause I know I’m gonna like it. Love your sense of humor and never get too excited attitude, even when things get a little sideways 🥴. That build is lookin reeeely good to an old geezer like me, but I think the youngans might say “it’s sick looking” That apparently means as good as it gets 🤷🏼♂️ Anyways, always look forward to your videos!!👍
I read an article about a chap by the name of Elvis in Australia that put one of these engines in a slightly stretched 32 Ford. He had to put a few more springs in the front from memory just to handle the weight of cooling water once filled. Car got bought and used in the last Mad Max Fury Road movie.
Okay, so I'm getting ahead of myself, but that first drive down Waylon mountain is going to be amazing!! As for the stance...Oh hell yes! I approve! Not that that matters, but I'm loving the build. Regards, Solomon
Very cool project I would like to note that someone below said something about a rear engine version of something similar. That sounds like a cool project too.
Damn it, I swear I caught the Old Truck Bug from watching you !!!!!! I just bought a 53 Studebaker half ton, it will be coming home this weekend....lol
@@donaldleavy4379 Well aint you just a dandy! I've learned a long time ago that people possess two things...A-holes and opinions... neither matter to anyone but the owner. I happen to restore vintage Model T fords. Each car and truck I rebuild comes out bone stock and would be the pride of any museum. We happen to drive them and share our work with the people of our community. What Ken does is special in its own right, unfortunately his artistic expression is often lost to the pious, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging fools who lack both the talent and skills to produce any thing of value but the afore mentioned "opinions" .
Perfect stance you build some wild stuff enjoy watching and listening to you. You work a lot like me I'll get it done one way or another who needs help you just have to be smarter then what you are working on and have the drive to get it done
It always amazes me how there are thumbs down. Armchair mechanics no doubt They would not even get 10 hours into a project like this and give up Kudos to u my friend. Many many hard hours but it's a thing of beauty that no one else has👍🤙
Yes to the front fenders. They fill out the front end nicely. That truck's so long that the front end just looks kinda goofy without them. It's funny how a person can look at someone elses project and come up with all sorts of ideas for it. I'm looking at this rig and seeing double hump fenders over the duals and a quad exhaust. Still trying to work out how to tie the existing stack into that system. I guess that's how you know you've landed on an exceptionally cool project. When it gets other peoples imaginations running.
Looks great , I just retired from New Orleans fire department, years ago we had a fire truck used to reach out like that , it was a fox , are Ins I think
Might have to take it to a jeweler... man you make my day. Such talent and humor. You make mistakes like we all do, but those fellows who criticize just don't get it. This is awesome and inspiring!
Ken the older we get it seems its easier to tear our hide open. I am learning my lesson about gloves everyday. Maybe Kermit would come around more if you called him by the right name. Its also possible that he is worried about losing some of his hide to some of that Arky Engineering. 😁
I started noticing the hide getting thinner on my hands I turned 60 in Feb and bits of me are complaining more and more every day I am running out of good bits to complain about! Tony from Western Australia
3 years ago, id like to see this truck today. Can't get over that big block, that long crankshaft! The exhaust should be kicking with all of the different piston popping into the duals exhaust.
If it were me i would research more on those pcv valves..im wondering if each one is differant .for evening the pressure up top of the engine from one side to the other.. Letting a curtian amount of oil flow up top..i could be wrong...just wouldnt want one area to get a lack of oil..FANTASTIC JOB you are doing..im very impressed
Hey Waylon. I've been out of touch for a while. But I'm back. Did the Dodgilac get new shoes? Oh, Waylon, I feel your pain when I see you struggle with that cab. Doing a 2 man job by yourself is frustrating and dangerous. But when you get it done, you feel REAL good. You sure NAILED the stance for sure. I am liking it. Why do car engines need the breather cap and a stationary engine doesn't? Very interesting. I don't look at the time. When I get hungry, it must be super time. When I get tired, it must be bedtime. Well, I do look at the clock once in a while just for kicks. But I guess you have a couple of hours of editing to do, so thanks for sharing another great video.🍁👍👍
Yeah it's gonna be a Waylon of a Sunday lol😅 even though i missed this video from Saturday it's still gonna make my day thanks☕ and awesome video 👍😆😊...
That stance looks awesome! Gonna be a looker for sure. One thing that kinda struck me funny was the exhaust pipe welded to the back of the cab... it reminded me of a chimney on the back of an outhouse! Ha ha. Love your vids!
Curse you Waylon! I am so F#$&ing jealous of you man, that dirty dozen is sure shaping up as one mean beast of a rat rod, not to mention that other work of art yall backed out at the start, the man will not let us drive that sort of thing here, I will continue to watch this like a fat kid on a cupcake, thanks for sharing , love your work!
Hi,Waylon it's all good I trust you guys!with the fires I feel so help!ess.my grand parents bless their solutions burned down twice bad wiring first time ,water heater blow up second time the were at church both times so that's was good they weren't hurt.I don't want to be a pain or problem I know it will work out. Not knowing is the worst part.Thank you again it's just a car but is one I've want to build since I was 15or 16 just have to hope for the best! Again thanks and would like to hear a little more singing on your videos if time permits see ya!
cant you get in touch with the guy you are getting the car from and find out the status? of course everyone is pretty tied up right now.. some people are scrambling for their lives so I suppose you dont want to bother him at the moment but I "do" understand your passion for a car you've always wanted.. I keep forgetting to tell you to email me so I can get Kerwoods number to ya... coatesgrafting@gmail.com
HEY KEN! NEVER OFFER ANY ADVICE ON ANYONE'S BUILD'S. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 35 CHEBBIE RAT PICKUP, 1/2 TON BOBBER I BUILT. I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS AND THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HAD IS THERE WASN'T ANY ROOM FOR MY FEET, WITH THE SMALLEST BUCKETS SEATS I COULD FIND. I'M 5'7" TALL. IF A FRIEND WAS OVER 5'11" TALL IT WAS "GOOD LUCK", MIGHT SQUEEZE IN, BUT THERE YOU STAY, JUST MISERABLE. POINT BEING, POPPED THE CAB OFF, STRETCHED THE FIREWALL OUT 4" WITHOUT MOVING MOTOR/ANYTHING ELSE. HEAVEN! THOUSANDS OF MILES LATER, HEAVEN. LOOKING AT YOUR SETUP WOULD BE VERY EASY TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER,.WOULDN'T EVEN NEED THAT BIG RECESS IN THE MIDDLE & COULD BE A NICE FLAT FIREWALL, THICK, FOR A SMALL BOOSTER/DUAL MASTER CYLINDER TOO. PLEASE PUT A PAIR OF SEATS IN THE CAB & SEE WHAT'S LEFT FOR YOUR FOOTSIES! THIS WOULD SAVE A MAJOR HEADACHE I LIVED WITH UNTILI CURED MINE. OH, A SMALL OLD TIME WRECKER UNIT FABBED WITH AN ELECTRIC WINCH HIDDEN WOULD MAKE IT KOOL & USEFUL AROUND THE RANCH & YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HOOK & BOB A-LOT MORE STUFF HOME!!!! MAYBE DRAG KERWOOD AROUND! GOOD DAY! LATER............................................
got that flathead rolling over, Thanks for the awesome tip soaking it from the bottom and the bearing circuit, had to use an oil efi fuel pump but it worked well
born and raised in the Ozark mtns.. moved to WA state when I was 20 but never lost all the accent.. yet when I go back to the ozarks.. they say YOU TALK FUNNY!! so... "sigh" Im a man without a country.. stop on by... I'll have the sweet tea ready
Very cool build Ken. I totally agree with the stance of the truck. Frankly, if it’s not comfortable to be in, you won’t use the truck. I always laugh to myself when I see crazy chops and shortened cabs. It may be cool to look at but certainly not to be in.
Thanks for the nostalgic throwback Ken. I too remember older men carrying a pocket watch; my Grandfather did and I have it. I saw the Hoop Tee in the background so I guess you got it fixed?
Enjoyed...awesome build and great discussion on your thoughts/methods...FYI, I would have bet money when you backed up parking you were staging for a burnout...damn!...next time?...LOL
That can thing on the back on the left side holds a filter that draws fresh air for the PCv valves that's why the covers aren't vented. The 60 thru 62 by used a draft tube in that location with vented caps. You can get valves on ebay now parts. I would leave them and unscrew lid to the filter you can get from napa The PCv valve have disc and spring, none of mine have ever came apart. Good info on 6066gmc site and shop manual update for the 63 model year tells all about the pcv system.
Agggg, please Waylon, do not remove them duelies, them are adding some real class there. How is ole Brown doing? Looong time since we've seen something on fire. 😂Look after yourself, God bless and we sure do appreciate you!
I am sure the guy that did the wireing stuff would like to have a big ol glass of Southern ice tea with you too. Hahahah So there should be no beer drinking on your part
Hi Walon. Just came buy your channel and knew I had to subscribe to it. I like your work and attitude. Keep up the good work and I will catch up with you on the next video.
You need to get a couple of sets of the 'Scotsman' plaid valve covers. Had a V6 with them in a 63 GMC suburban. Would really make it stand out. Right after I posted this, I watched the rest of the video...too soon, too soon.
Every time I watch your video s you got the best spot around the view is just so beatiful it wii look good with the dualls it’s a high boy with a big long motor looks good she’s comming along look good with a spun aluminum tank in the front of the grill it looks real good are you gonna build a box like the dualls I’ve seen a a few of these on you tube you done a real fine job by yourself especially that’s a big ole mother of a motor have fun

back in about 1955 I was 10 years old. I had a pocket watch for my bib top overalls. used a shoe lace instead of a chain. love your project, its coming along nicely..
NebukedNezzer I did too! Thanks for that memory which I had not thought of in at least 50 years. :)
I never get tired of listening to the Dogallac rumble. I like the stance plan!

Watching that chain saw roll reminds me of falling out of the wood pile a few winters back !!! An gives me a snicker every time I see it !!!

Me too !!!
OMG.....the pocket watch chain was HILARIOUS!
Ken the best thing you can give to someone questioning what you do is. ''YOU BE YOU''
zactly.. I get a lot of " what would it look like if you did this" and I say "it would look like you built it instead of me" lol
I really dig this project, I started following you when you built the rockabilly rat. Enjoyed every video. Thx
wow.. that was 10 years ago. thank you!
It is a great joy to watch your videos.
I never get tired of that BIG block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love concept. Parker Ranch had an old Jimmy like that set up as a cattle truck my Daddy used to drive. The grill reminds me

Luv ur videoz. Keep em coming no matter what. Everything you say & do is so entertaining.

HEY KEN! NEVER OFFER ANY ADVICE ON ANYONE'S BUILD'S. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 35 CHEBBIE RAT PICKUP, 1/2 TON BOBBER I BUILT. I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS AND THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I HAD IS THERE WASN'T ANY ROOM FOR MY FEET, WITH THE SMALLEST BUCKETS SEATS I COULD FIND. I'M 5'7" TALL. IF A FRIEND WAS OVER 5'11" TALL IT WAS "GOOD LUCK", MIGHT SQUEEZE IN, BUT THERE YOU STAY, JUST MISERABLE. POINT BEING, POPPED THE CAB OFF, STRETCHED THE FIREWALL OUT 4" WITHOUT MOVING MOTOR/ANYTHING ELSE. HEAVEN! THOUSANDS OF MILES LATER, HEAVEN. LOOKING AT YOUR SETUP WOULD BE VERY EASY TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER,.WOULDN'T EVEN NEED THAT BIG RECESS IN THE MIDDLE & COULD BE A NICE FLAT FIREWALL, THICK, FOR A SMALL BOOSTER/DUAL MASTER CYLINDER TOO. PLEASE PUT A PAIR OF SEATS IN THE CAB & SEE WHAT'S LEFT FOR YOUR FOOTSIES! THIS WOULD SAVE A MAJOR HEADACHE I LIVED WITH UNTILI CURED MINE. OH, A SMALL OLD TIME WRECKER UNIT FABBED WITH AN ELECTRIC WINCH HIDDEN WOULD MAKE IT KOOL & USEFUL AROUND THE RANCH & YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HOOK & BOB A-LOT MORE STUFF HOME!!!!

got that flathead rolling over, Thanks for the awesome tip soaking it from the bottom and the bearing circuit, had to use an oil efi fuel pump but it worked well
Glad it helped
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire yes sir thanks again
Looks proportional to me ! Looks great !
This ole gal is lookin’ purty good Ken!
Plus those frame rails would work great for planting corn! Dig 2 rows at a time in a good soft field
Mock-up has to be one of the most fun parts of the whole part.
yeah, it gets you excited about pressing on when you see your vision coming to life
Love it, front fenders look great as well. Looks meaner than a bee in a coc can.
Your vernacular alone puts you at the top of my SUBSCRIPTION list lol 😆
Would love to spend an afternoon with yah turning wrenches and burning steel
born and raised in the Ozark mtns.. moved to WA state when I was 20 but never lost all the accent.. yet when I go back to the ozarks.. they say YOU TALK FUNNY!! so... "sigh" Im a man without a country.. stop on by... I'll have the sweet tea ready
Thanks Ken and put out a wellness check on your buddy Kirwood like lunch or something...
oh he calls, he just dont show up.. haha
This is an outrageously cool project ... I just subscribed
Very cool build Ken. I totally agree with the stance of the truck. Frankly, if it’s not comfortable to be in, you won’t use the truck. I always laugh to myself when I see crazy chops and shortened cabs. It may be cool to look at but certainly not to be in.
Thanks for the nostalgic throwback Ken. I too remember older men carrying a pocket watch; my Grandfather did and I have it. I saw the Hoop Tee in the background so I guess you got it fixed?
nope.. four mechanics have walked away scratching their heads and feeling frustrated, disgusted, defeated and humbled..
Enjoyed...awesome build and great discussion on your thoughts/methods...FYI, I would have bet money when you backed up parking you were staging for a burnout...damn!...next time?...LOL
Waylon, I think it looks excellent. I like that V12 in there and the stance.
That can thing on the back on the left side holds a filter that draws fresh air for the PCv valves that's why the covers aren't vented. The 60 thru 62 by used a draft tube in that location with vented caps. You can get valves on ebay now parts. I would leave them and unscrew lid to the filter you can get from napa The PCv valve have disc and spring, none of mine have ever came apart. Good info on 6066gmc site and shop manual update for the 63 model year tells all about the pcv system.
sounds like you've had some experience with these..would you email ? i have some questions...

Hi brother!
Love your sense of humor!
Love the way it sets great job
With that Chain you will never lose that watch again 😂😂😂😂
Your truck looks great.
You're an inspiration to us all, we should be wrenching on something too.
My eyes are going bad. It looked like the cab shrank from the last time you got in it. :)
I give it two thumbs up, and a great big grin!
4 rusty straight stacks welded to the back of the cab? With that stretch and the grille rake, me likes!
That’s gonna be one wild ride when it’s done.
Agggg, please Waylon, do not remove them duelies, them are adding some real class there. How is ole Brown doing? Looong time since we've seen something on fire. 😂Look after yourself, God bless and we sure do appreciate you!
I only removed them because I was replacing wheel cylinders . thanks!
I am sure the guy that did the wireing stuff would like to have a big ol glass of Southern ice tea with you too. Hahahah So there should be no beer drinking on your part
cant wait to see the first drive. long videos are best
Hi Walon. Just came buy your channel and knew I had to subscribe to it. I like your work and attitude. Keep up the good work and I will catch up with you on the next video.
Sorry I spelled your name wrong Waylon. Lol
thanks and welcome!
Its fun watching you build this truck it almost like i can vision what you are building. But i could be wrong. But i can see what you call me lol.
well, i call you "tow truck Andy" and a friend gave me a wench from that era and my transmission has a pto shaft!
I had been waiting on an update on this build.
Looking good! It’s getting there.
You need to get a couple of sets of the 'Scotsman' plaid valve covers. Had a V6 with them in a 63 GMC suburban. Would really make it stand out.
Right after I posted this, I watched the rest of the video...too soon, too soon.
Every time I watch your video s you got the best spot around the view is just so beatiful it wii look good with the dualls it’s a high boy with a big long motor looks good she’s comming along look good with a spun aluminum tank in the front of the grill it looks real good are you gonna build a box like the dualls I’ve seen a a few of these on you tube you done a real fine job by yourself especially that’s a big ole mother of a motor have fun
That GMC V-12 will be the best you've ever done!
