[@Tibbyturnwrench]

Such a cool mentor. Bob is an absolute legend. My favorite body style is actually the one you worked on. I own a 77 Denside and just picked up a Lil 85 Bronco 2. It is a bit of a shame the truck had a sbc but it was a pretty common swap back in the day. At least they are easy to get parts for.

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Bob was great and yeah parts were super easy other than the og break lines and such

[@KiwiStag74]

Back in the 70s an early 80s, my Dad had a 1948 Bonus build. Basically, she looked just like the F1, but what there was as a Bonus, I have no idea! It had been hand-painted a dark green and still ran the old flathead and crashbox. If you have never experienced a crashbox, you've not lived, mate! Think of it as a gearbox with no synchros, all straight cut gears and a gearstick about 3 feet long with a long and wide throw. Guessing where the next gear would engage was always the order of the day, but that old flathead was a beautiful sounding engine......and actually, the box itself was very musical in the gears as straight cut boxes tend to be. My Mum used it as her work vehicle for a week when her car was laid up, but I could not imagine it was a lot of fun for her in rush-hour traffic. Dad was a bricklayer and he used to carry the concrete mixer, two wheelbarrows and a couple of 44 gallon drums on the back when he went to a new site. All his tools of trade - hand tools and electrical - were kept in the cab with his wet weather gear and extension leads. The truck also hauled a cubic metre of sand or builder's mix (the foundation of a mix of concrete) and had no issues doing so. Great old rig that was. I still have a soft spot for them, but trying to find one in my country now is very difficult....unless they have been done up as customs or museum pieces....and that's no fun to drive or use as a work truck, is it? Again, as a kid, I used to hang around the garage and give Dad a hand with his current project - whether it be an engine rebuild, welding, changing brakes, rebuilding a carb, welding and bodywork or whatever. I learned a heck of a lot just by watching because my old man was not someone you interrupted when he was in the middle of something - you had to pick your moment. However, I now have three classics of my own to look after / rebuild as necessary, along with my wife's and two daughter's vehicles to keep maintained and I am so glad for all that time I spent with Dad in the garage. You're right - listening to the older generations in regard to things they worked with is something that really people forget about doing until it is too late. Sure - google and KZbin are handy, but words cannot replace someone showing you how it's done and watching while you do the next one. If I throw you a bone in regard to what may or may not be ailing the vehicle you are working on, don't think of it as me being critical. I would much rather ensure the younger generation gets to enjoy the older vehicles, because if we DON'T teach you, these old cars will rot away and only exist in museums and picture books and that is just a damn shame, because driving them and hearing them do their thing give you an experience that you would never otherwise have. From an older bloke's perspective (I'm only 54, so not OLD old as yet), there aren't that many young blokes interested in the old cars. In the little village I live in, all the young blokes drive late-model (1995 onward) ricers or eurotrash and those that are interested in cars prefer to work on those vehicles than say an 80s or earlier vehicle. It's us blokes that have got to educate YOU as much as you picking OUR brains. Great to see the epiphany happen though - just wish there was more like you two! In regard to what to do with them, that 305 still sounds quite healthy. Funny - when you opened the bonnet I could have sworn it looked (and eventually sounded) like a 327...but I will stand corrected because I've not been up close and personal with it like you both! Wiring is a bastard, but it's not hard when there are no computers involved. Find a rotted Camaro or similar with another 305 (or 350....or maybe a couple of 250s) and auto and drop it in the blue one. If the frames are ok on both only though. Building them as a matching pair (if the frames are both in good nick) would be a great point of difference on your channel, although using one or the other as a tow vehicle for that big trailer, I think you might need a bigger engine than the 305 and it would be good to have a 700R4 behind whichever engine is in there because then you get overdrive (lockup torque converter) but still no electronics interfering with it. Bodywork - as in the body itself, beating on the panels, welding in patches and eventually spraying them) - that to me comes secondary to making it safe, making it comfortable to be in, making it watertight, and making it reliable. Bodywork is something that can happen over time in stages. Wiring is something that needs to be done from scratch when it gets to the stage where there are more joins and wirenuts than feet of cable! Wiring is also less expensive than you think - just bloody time consuming! My Triumph Stag had a wiring issue that had me pull the instrument cluster out to check on. There was so much hackery in there that I nearly shut the door and walked away from it. However, it wasn't so bad once I cleared away the multiple joins and several feet of wire that were just dumped in on top of the original loom yet were not actually connected to anything..... If the frames are bad, then flick them on to someone who has the time, but to be honest I would love to see the pair of them being used on the channel eh. I'd also enjoy seeing another F1 / Bonus come home with you - all original flathead engine and crashbox - because I reckon that would make for some great content......especially when you eventually pick up what the crashbox likes and can change gear without the 30 seconds of grinding the gear until it fits! I'm not trying to make you blokes a laughing stock - but my first drive of a crashbox was very entertaining and I reckon you'd both enjoy it.....plus having it on video, you'd spend as much time laughing during the editing as you did driving the thing! I tell you, when you get the first shift without a clash of gears, it is so much of a buzz and you feel on top of the world....until you try to get the next one! Anyway, all the best and let us know what you decide for the pair, eh?

The Younger people I've met in the last 20 years that claimed to be interested in automotive things as well as anything mechanical were a joke! I'd love to share my automotive knowledge experience yet no kids, teens I've attempted to teach, share gave up way to easily. One guy who had taken both gas and diesel classes at a trade school couldn't even bleed brakes on his own car. If a nut rounded he was clueless as to how to deal with it.He wasn't the only guy who was dense yet the trade school passed them all😮😮😮😂. At 67 years old plus being disabled I still fix my own trucks, house, boats, everything. As the older generations pass on I pity what many in society will be like. Hopefully you guys keep going, learning. Most people today now turn to YT when cars break but when they attempt to fix, repair something they do very poor work as they have little idea what they're doing. It's sad in so many ways and breaks my heart.

[@wiesshund-games]

well, the blue one has already been lowered and the front end modified, I guess that is the one i would do a newer engine in. Maybe like a 351 cleveland? dont see people do those much any more. Now the red one, since it has not been chopped on, instead of lowering it, i think i would rather beef up the suspension and make it a beast. I dont imagine a flathead would come easily. Maybe an FT 361 HD, make the thing pull houses down. Everyone does chopped and lowered trucks, but i never see someone do one that it actually capable of work. Probably ditch those add on fender lights, hate them, rather fix the grill lights, not fond of the front awning either. I guess my favorite years would be 1951 F1 with white painted grill Or 1956 F100 with a 390 6 barrel and a 4 speed rolling a 3:55 dana rear, that would be fun. For what it is worth, i prefer points I can carry a lot of spare points and condensers for emergencies. No one really runs around with a spare HEI

I have seen so many F1's with a SBC in them so it's nothing new to me there was a reason they did that and I think it has something to do with the oil pan the rear sump SBC fit where the front sump SBF won't and that is the reason you will see tons of old Fords running around with a SBC
