THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE THE ROD & CUSTOM COMMUNITY!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
THIS ROD AND CUSTOM DREAM TRUCK IS WHY I AM A DIE-HARD ROD AND CUSTOM FAN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
I remember the Dream Truck from magazine covers when I was a kid. I was a car kid from an early age and the late fifties early sixties was a cool time for a car kid. 👍🏼
We lost a truly iconic craftsman when he passed away. R.I.P.

Thank-you for the fun ..!
In 1957, I was a 17 year old HS student Living Los Banos, California. A bunch of us guys were hanging out looking at a car one of the hot rodders in town had just finished. He was a friend of people who did radical customizing, You know the Barris Genre. Well a man drove up and talked to the guy with the just finished car. He invited all of us to drive to a seclude road on the out skirts of town. When we got there we were all awed at what we saw. It was the unfinished dream truck we had been hearing about in the magazine. I think it was wearing grey primer with green scallops on it. What a treat we all had ooing and ahhing over it. I think it was being trailered to LA for some tweaking.It was a sad time in the Hot Rod community when it was wrecked. I'm glad to see its been beautifully restored.
I really like the look of the Truck. Thank You for posting.
I LOVE IT!!!! A MUST WATCH!!!! ROD & CUSTOM 101.
That is one beautifully custom built every day driver truck.
That's my step-dad, Spence Murray at 2:03 on the left!
looking at the owner in the street you'd never guess hed av such radical motors, cooooooooooooool
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
I've just watched 3 videos featuring 6 cars from this collection, all vintage hot rods and customs, restored to a certain period but all have had the engine replaced since the 50's.....as they should be, this dude is a real hot rodder, he still wants to improve the cars, even if they are classics!
Interesting way of looking at this genre, but you're right, back then they were always removing and replacing with newer or cooler parts.
I always think of authenticity first and it is, but not to keeping them the same, the authenticity is to keeping the build in motion and kinda keeping the true and original idea of Hot Roding going and to me was making it original, looking nicest in town and kickin butt at those late night country road drags.
This was how legends were born, many times the legend being the rod, not the driver.
Thank you for giving me your perspective, it's really opened my mind and changed my perspective.
Cheers !
Damnit Dennis... I'm Jealous !!! Nice work on this one, truly a historical custom, by the who's who of custom.
I don't know why, but every time he drives someone's vehicle, my anxiety level goes up about 97%. I'm like please don't crash, pleeeease do not crash, but alas, he drives like a pro, and gets them back home every time.
Great show and all round nice guy.
cool double white walls on the front of the rod, 2 cooooool cars with history
I saw this car up close at a car show in Belleville, IL several years ago and it is a dream!
loved this episode, thanks!
Kurt has quite a collection and he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Great episode!
I love that truck
Great Vieo Dennis
what a true piece of automotive history with all those Customizers involved they only left out Rat Fink
... one complete dweeb, with a thumbs down ... up above. :( Not me, this is a great clip. Love the history, love the content. Thanks, Dennis !!
Classic customs
This truck is probably the "Bat Truck" that Bat Man & Robin used to haul around some of his "wonderful toys" !
That truck almost has a "Futurama" vibe to it
Buck Rogers.
It has white walls on both sides
Nice
i remember seeing this in the Hot Rod magazine classified section in 1985
Those bumpers on the roadster look like a football helmet.
An updated VanGuard redesign of this Truck would be a fun project for someone to take on.
Why does Dennis keep referring to the truck as a Barris Custom? The Barris Bros. had no bigger role in it's production than any other custom shops. The Valley Custom Shop, who did the work on our cars back in the 50s, did just as much work, but he doesn't call it the Dream Truck by Valley Custom. Bruce Glascock a former owner, is one of my friends.
It was George that gave the Barris brothers the bad rep, not Sam. George was too "show biz".
I believe Rod &Custom magazine should had far more mention in this vid. The idea was to have the top name shops each do something on the truck to cover the"art" of Hot Rods during the late 40's and 50's.
Also thought it was odd no photos were shown when the truck had the modified stock bed.
In reality, it's the Rod & Custom Dream Truck.
@@rogerroberts1310 BAD REP ? GEEZ GET OVER YOURSELVES !
SUGGESTION: Please consider making a plastic model and or diecast of the Rod & Custom Dream Truck.
The best car I ever drove was a 69' AMX Javelin .
I raced Corvettes in it,
and won, every time....
Sorry, no such thing.
That is the most awesome and ugly truck I've ever seen.
I remember when it first was in Rod & Custom magazines. I too thought it was ugly, yet somehow strange and beautiful. It's among my favorite hotrods today.
Before I got old and lazy, I partially built a 1948 Chevy panel truck custom to pull an early RV. It sits waiting for my son in law to take over. I forced myself to only dechrome and remove handles. After all suicide doors, tunneled lites, and everything else is now overdone and stock is diferent.
I still love this truck.
Bob Metz taught me how to do LED work on a car if anyone's interested I will explain to you what he showed me
Back in the late 50's-early 60's I had an office job where I mingled with the union men. A couple of old guys in the metal shop taught me how to use real lead bars and do body work. It really wasn't that difficult.
Then along came my part time gas station job and the body shop across the street who used Bondo type fillers even on new damaged cars.
What about the duel headlights?? Does it have A/C? What are the brakes? Power windows, brakes, steering??
It's not the "Ala Kart"....but it is badass no doubt. The truck seem like a Rod & Custom gentry "gangbang". LIke the roadster more though....
I have a PT Cruiser with a Lotus Engine in it.
Dual exhaust and headers...
It's WAY fast ...
That sounds Awesome.I'd love to see it someday.Hopefully Dennis will find you at a show.
8:02 😰🤦♂️ My symmetrical OCD mind is going crazy right now... How could they fuck up those pinstripings that bad on the hood OMFG!!!🤯😤🤬
SUGGESTION: DIE CAST TRUCK.
I have four Willys Sedans that we are getting rid of. The best of the four is a 1952 Willys Aero Eagle. Very rare. If interested then please comment or email me. You will get the best deal. Includes many extra parts.
Wait. I don't get it. They channeled the '32 and you can't see the frame. The frame design is what makes it special. It was a one year design with the rolled bottom edge. Too bad.
SUGGESTION: PLASTIC MODEL KIT.
SUGGESTION: HOT WHEELS
It's cool concept but the fitment is beyond bad even by period equipment standards. They may have pioneered custom car work but they were not very skilled fabricators at all.
P
Periodic table synbol for lead, right?
No, that would be Pb.
I added the P because a pop-up ad appeared over the presentation and it asked me to write something. I typed the P and the ad went away. Sorry for the confusion. I agree the chemical designation from lead is PB. But I didn’t intend to do that because I justWanted to see the video
Hope you liked it!
Oh, I loved the video! It's just high school Science was a long time ago for this 58 year old.
I'd be embarrassed to drive the truck
