    That 66 is in incredible shape. I like all the builds but I'd really like to see you finish the blue and white Dodge. Thanks for the great content.

    Weird Beard,
    That's a "Hat Saver", invented by my neighbor in Elgin, Texas. His name was Ralph Thompson. He was a farmer and the Morman's cattle supplement representative for our area. What a hoot!!! Your 1966 Cheve has a Hat Saver in it.

    I had a 66 C-10 that i used as my class project in the mid 90s when i took Automachanics at the Jr. College . We went thro every part of that truck in class , and i did the cosmetics at home . I got alot of parts from LMC and they worked well . My truck had been painted a nice blue with white bumpers and grill so i put white spoke 15x8 rims with chrome centers and lug nuts with 235/75/15 blk wall tires . I painted the inside blk , put a saddle blanket seat cover that was blue and blk. , and got some OE carpet in blue . That truck sure came together nice , so i really like that 66 your working on !!

    That ‘66 is looking awesome! That is a great start for you. I like the flatbed idea. Maybe a mix of wood and steel?
    I haven’t seen one of those cowboy hat holders since the ‘80’s.
    I’m on board with this like I am with the Fury and the Datsun. Very cool.
    Can’t wait to see what you end up with. Best have a retro Weird Beard logo on the doors. 😂

  • @johnelliott7375
    @johnelliott7375 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is a heavy duty one ton it was a either a tow rig or camper special as they called the once upon a time. I am thinking that it was a tow truck with those leaf packs on it. I hope that you have a good morning and great day. Watching the show before I go to work this morning.

    @jaysmith5084 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the old truck build 😊 Maybe since you have so much extra exhaust parts make the bed out of exhaust tubing that would look cool aka mad max style . If you want to make wiring easy just mount a toggle switch panel and have it like Nascar and flip them switches 😂

      @@weirdbeard8898 absolutely! My dream to have one one day. I tracked down the person that got my grandparents truck, he ended up rebuilding it. Luckily it’s still on the road and doing well. Unfortunately it was supposed to go to me. My spiteful aunt gave it away to ensure I didn’t get it.
