Hey Spanky. Now that is a cool ride. I would love to have one like that. Man, those welds would not hold no matter what. They were just sitting on the metal. No penetration at all. I like it the way it is, but I would like to see it in bark cherry. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁

Sharp looking truck! The rubber all going bad,what a pain, not so much the work but sourcing the parts.

Great Looking Ride Spanky 👍👀👍

It looks like it was a nicely done build.

Great pick up street rod 👏👏I love it

My favorite color. ,Looks great Good luck to you.

Looks great Black! 👍😎👍

Hey Mike great video, sure is a sweet ride, just a lot of little stuff from sitting, but a really good find, be looking forward to the drive after some of the things get fixed😀😀

very kool ep! what a sweet ride!

Going through similar issues with a '66 Nova SS that I bought with "opinion" of another Nova guy in a different part of the country. The car was supposed to be good, all the issues worked out. Immediately had to put a clutch in the thing, the seller/builder put a long throw out bearing in instead of a short one like early Chevy II's use, making a brand-new clutch glaze and slip like crazy. In comparison, other issues with the car are minor, to be fixed and driven as time and money come along. (In a month, I've already been offered $15K more than I paid. It's close to my high school ride so I'm not selling it.) The other thing that I have encountered buying any used Hot Rod is certain people have a tolerance level for what they are willing to fix or get the bugs ironed out! Then there are the "Flippers", just after a buck. Some are honest; others make a used car salesman look like a preacher boy! LoL!

I like black, but the light blue on the Stone, Woods, and Cook Willys is another of my favorite colors. I think it was a 50s Caddy color.

That's a real cool pickup, I'm not much of a paint guy so I would leave it the way it is. Take care.

Good looking Hot Rod Truck, get it dialed in and drive it .💯🆒

Just a note what a cool truck !!

Right on , very cool 👋🏻

I have a 2018 Tundra. It is a special black with blue, gold and silver metallic in paint. Far and away the finest black out there. No comparison.

Leave the colour like it is but add some metal flake - make it sparkle! Also spend more time on the front end - bushings and shock mounts - should be good to go.

It looks like your weather has improved! That's good. We are still enjoying unseasonably warm weather here in MN. Wednesday was 54 degrees. A year to date before that was -38 degrees below zero. A 92 degree improvement! Looking good! Keep up the good work.

Great video Mike! I love the exhaust 😂As far as the paint goes, it looks good from here! But it might look better with some real flames on it! Thanks for sharing brother!👍🏽

I don't know man I build hot rods for a living and I'm going to tell you something that well looks like crap if I was you I'd check every weld on there that's your life you're talking about

Looks good as is

She's a sweet machine ❤

I’ve always liked grabber green, bonus it’s a ford color.

Very cool little pickup Spanky, the black and chrome looks pretty awesome! What’s the plan for it, new parts picker upper shop truck?

I would paint it very glossy black

Check all the welds NO Penetration

I think it's a great truck

It dawned on me today most of my cars on my channel are 100 years old the newer ones are the 1963 dodge the 1963 Chevy,and the 1951 jeepster with the Chevy engine.

Usually if steering wheel shakes it’s a tire maybe two , tie rods which control steering so check all the links to the steering wheel etc. btw if ya need a hood you can always make one out of plastic stuff plexiglass

like that truck

sale it to me ! Color is fine leave it alone

Cool rpu 👍

I would make it rain worthy just in case run into rain and drive/cruise it to many shows and just have fun with it. Put up for 20 year's way to long that's just saying it's going to be a hand me down ride for some young guy to enjoy it.

Mint metallic green with candy green

Anutter nice 1 buddy

I like The semi-gloss hot rod black. I'm thinking just a traditional hot rod color though. Well spanky it's going to take another cup of coffee before I can figure it out. I'll get back to you. 🫣

Hello, Nice Truck ! I am building one just like it. I was wondering if you would tell me how wide the doors are and also the body section behind the doors. Thanks so much !

Hi, do you know who made top and the roof bows ? Thanks

Nice truck but when buy a classic rod antique or other car that's been biult you need check there standard of quality

Hi , your door hinges are silver. Are they aluminum ? Thanks

I like the black but you could go burnt orange. Get rid of the 15 Year old tires. Don't take a chance on them. Not worth it.

You have plenty of room in the engine bay but I guess the only way is up. High rise manifold and twin four barrels. Don't bother painting it but you could add something, an ace of spades or something small. Oh and a sign on the rear telling fools to Back Off.

I'd do NOTHING to the paint... pick your battles. Fix what needs it...and drive/enjoy it.

I would paint it BLACK OH IT'S ALREADY DONE

Give it a brake fluid change.

Candy apple green

Silver

NO! Edelbrocks are an horsepower delete add on. Nothing fast runs an Edelbrock.

Drive the wheels of it

Hot rods have 3peddles,

A body a built it.

Don’t use urethane bushings.

leave it black and pin stripe it

I would look at every weid on that car because that weld had no integrity at all , also just wondering is that a fiberglass body it looked like it under the fender well not that it matters but its worth a lot less if it is
