    I wonder how many vehicles Bill has owned in his lifetime. A friend of mine in high school owned about a dozen before he was twenty and he didn't stop there. I find how Bill presents this stuff as hugely entertaining, he could be a successful stand up comedian.

    Bill, thanks so much for this video. Completely unexpected yet fascinating. I loved Sanford and Son. This truck is what I’d consider a Rat Rod primarily. It’s not really that much different than what kids did to cars in the ‘50’s when you think of it. Chopping and lowering a model T and dropping in a flathead or God forbid, a small black Chevy mill. The difference is that the patina and beat up look of those cars was genuine and usually the product of not having enough money to make the car really shine. Now, it’s largely artificial. The truck is interesting enough. It’s more interesting with the Chrysler frame and motor. Sounds magnificent, just not my cup of tea. I did genuinely enjoy the video and the subject matter. Keep ‘em coming!

      @@martinliehs2513 Exactly. Back then there was no swearing or in your face sex and they managed to create great comedy. Too many shows rely on profanity in the belief saying swear words are funny.

    I thought Sprunt was the name of a Ferengi on Star Trek. Who knew it was such a big thing in the world of feminine hygiene? Sanford & Son had a huge impact on my best friend & me as kids. We still call each other "Big Dummy" to this day. Shows how impressionable we were as lads. I also remember these fabulous 50s Ford trucks from my youth. It seems like they were everywhere in the 70s. Great rumble to this example.

    Like the farm turn signal lights??? Not. But the Sanford & Sons hat tip is appreciated. Great modern morality tail.
    My Tan and Nutmeg?? Yes Nutmeg Cougar. Could identify with this. She's turned into a warped Cherry 2000 Mustang cross bread with 64 Aston Martin Omage. Everyday driven and gets her best reviews when we go running out in country. At the country restaurants where the young kids show up in their beat up pickups. It's a great conversation making machine. She's developing a BAD CAT AURA. After our two decades together. I restored a 54 1/2 ton in 75 dropped 312 in front of the 2 speed automatic and painted it Corvette pearl while with Cherry red running boards. Black and red diamond pattern recovered bench seats. And Yes I have photos.

    Rat Rod, Restomod, whatever you want to call it. It's freaking awesome! I love that show. I was born in 78, but I grew up watching reruns of it. And I always loved that truck. Myself, I would've had to make it more like the one on the show. Maybe that show is the reason I hoard used car parts and sell them online now 🤔. Also, my grandmother was from Wales, so British comedy was something I grew up watching too. Benny Hill, Monte Python, also the original Dr. Who. Awesome stuff. Makes me want to watch some now

    As I suspected Sanford & Son was based on our own Steptoe & Son which ran from '62 till '74. American sitcoms are often based on their British counterparts (we're rather good at that sort of thing). However, where we are behind is on 'luxury' ours being rag bone men using a horse and cart!
