Make sure you keep the original set of keys, it important you hand him his “Dad’s keys”! Keep up the good work!

[@michaelblack2135]

100% keep the original keys

[@Mezorude]

The tag if it’s not to late. You can transfer it. Easy peasy.

[@mikethrapp]

Great idea.

[@fredism1960]

I think a build for both Dinner & Hillbilly would be awesome.

[@joshslackslack8115]

That would be cool I would like to see hillbilly's bronco 2 done

Yes build for Dinner and Hillbilly

Yes please!!

I love seeing Dinners attitude in this one. Hell yeah he needs a build series! Take care of your employees and they’ll take care of you and your business. Loving your videos. Hard work is it’s own reward sometimes.

[@ChuckHickl]

It makes my heart so happy to see that Dinner has found such a supportive group to be around. I've struggled in many ways with some of the stuff Dinner does and having good people around you, who are willing to invest emotionally in you and your fight, can make all the difference. I rarely had that kind of support and seeing the way Dinner is treated with respect, based on the effort and skill he contributes to the team, brings a tear to my eye every time. So, so happy for Dinner specifically and the entire crew in general. Great job Mr. Layton in creating this kind of environment.

[@dioad1739]

That warm up by Dinner was priceless, I would love to see Dinner’s truck fixed up he’s such a good dude and a asset to the channel and so is Hillbilly fix his Bronco that would be a big job lol.

[@brianmoore2508]

Yes!!!!!

[@joshuafranks3156]

Agreed. Them boys are VITAL to the channel. Literally Robby's version of Jackstand Jimmy and LS George

[@edwinho7224]

[@stevevanness8274]

Would be awesome to see both of their vehicles redone. They put in tons of hours & late nights surprising other people. I think it's their turn!

[@livingadamman7994]

Yeah Hillbilly has come a long way with confidence, he's even doing the odd bit of singing ! Dinner is starting to dance ! Robby is rocking it !

[@jimhanson8190]

I'm on the Dinner Fan Wagon as well. Builds for dinner and hillbilly should definitely be in the future. Hillbilly is very gifted and works hard for the channel. Both deserve something special.

[@brianmesarosh1266]

I completely agree!!! I will bet you the two restorations videos of their trucks will be a huge pull for the fans as the Golden nugget and as this amazing tribute to this kids dad for the family. These are not just fix em up videos. These are stories of using what you are good at to help others.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

Yes sir! What most don't understand is that these guys are there after hours and have already worked a full day at the shop for their regular jobs. I say that Hillbillies Bronco should be first because he is losing time with his wife and kids.

[@brendastrode7140]

I am a 70 yr old grandmother, love watch your videos. Always loved cars , racing ,etc. Had a Formula 400 Firebird as a teen and into my 20’s. Wish I still had it. On my bucket list. Keep up the great work.

People don’t realize how much work and time you spend away from your family when you run your own business. I appreciate and enjoy watching your channel and Matt’s Off Road recovery. Watching tear down and rebuilds is interesting. We need more builders like you guys in this country!!

[@robertclapp5171]

You should check out fab rats as well they are all like the three stooges Matt Paul and robbie

Dinner's personality really shines when he's got no competition. Robby did him a solid by calling out his GM expertise for the fans.

[@tomgaruti74]

You guys are doing a something special for this kid. I got my father’s truck after he passed unexpectedly and it was priceless to me. This young man will never forget this. Also i enjoy watching Dinner. He is very kind and humble. Keep up the good work.

[@timbaxley383]

Thanks for the insight. Was your father's truck involved in hs unexpected passing? I love this channel, one of the best on youtube... However, I lost my father when I was 16 years old. I would not want the vehicle in which he perished, everyone is different... js 🙏

[@dotcinematics]

@@timbaxley383 Aiden’s dad didn’t die in the truck, he died at the hospital after being life-flighted out

[@merlesgarage]

@ Tim Baxley: the fellow did not pass away in the truck. Unfortunately, he suffered a heart attack days afterwards. This was covered by Robby in first the video dedicated to this project. I think this project is fantastic. I had my dad's 1975 Ford F250 for years after he passed. I loved it. I still have his 1974 Mustang II, although it needs some lovin' at this time.

[@cdouglas1942]

@@timbaxley383 I agree. This project is morbid. Every time they talk about it " this is the truck so and so died in". Yuk.

[@timbaxley383]

@@merlesgarage I did watch the first video, I watch all Robby's videos. ❤the channel. However, the difference of passing away in the truck or a few days later due to trauma from the accident is negligible.. I'm gonna pass on this series. 🙏 I'm sure to watch and enjoy new content this channel produces in the future...

[@chevboy2]

Use the 5.7! 🙏🏻 especially with bigger tires/lift. Then he can still be able to haul/tow down the road when he’s older

[@garrettscarbrough9206]

I 100% agree with this with bigger tires the little 4.3 just doesn't have the power for hauling much. I know as I have the same type of truck with the same motor and I have 31s or 32s on it and with hauling it's just not as great

[@scout2nut]

I agree if you wanted to make it into something it wasn't. this is a tribute build to the kids father, you can find V8 trucks of this type anywhere that have never been wrecked and are dirt cheep, I think it needs to stay as original as possible, otherwise just buy the kid a new truck and be done , it would be cheaper in the long run.

[@SurvivalistMedia]

He said he's getting a crate engine. So he might be being economical. The crate motors are cheaper. I agree completely. The fuds who suggested the 4.3 have never worked with the two engines. The people who suggested the 4.3 don't even change their own oil, and don't own a wrench. They don't know that a 4.3 was a space saving engine not a gas saver.

[@chevyfan82]

Yep definitely go with 5.7 I've had both and I can tell you the 4.3 will guzzle the gas and struggle compared to the 5.7.

[@jjlawnservice5229]

I agree the 5.7 would be the better choice

[@SaxaphoneMan42]

I knew there were plenty of reason to like Dinner, he's a gem, but knowing he's an obs Chevy guy as well just sits right with me.

[@mattbrowder7498]

Yes yes yes I have an 89 bronco 2 that runs and drives. It’s got about 160k miles. Only bad part is the paint which should be a problem for you. It’s a 5 speed 4wd

[@mototech489]

I think it’s a no brainer that big dinner deserves his truck to get fixed! He’s an awesome dude with a heart of gold and a staple for the channel!! Definitely get his truck worked on and fixed up!!

[@SurvivalistMedia]

The majority of people who said keep the V6 were wrong. The 4.3 will get worse gas milage, and have less parts availability, and parts will cost more. The only reason they put that engine in the truck was to cut original purchase price. The 5.7 is better in every way. The people who suggested it were mistaken because they thought it would be better for a kid. He's gonna own this forever, the adult him would like the 5.7 better.

[@ustinates335]

There's a point where it wouldn't be his dads truck anymore. Remember the goal here....

[@jasonvsd]

And who ever got girls with a v6? NOBODY

[@dave1135]

Putting 35" tires on that truck, the 4.3 will really be lugging trying to pull it. 350 will have more power, and will be a bolt in swap

[@merlesgarage]

The young man is just 16. The V-6 might make his auto insurance more bearable (Illinois thinking here). Plus, he can do a swap later, and make it a project of his own. This young man could possibly keep this truck another 50 years! I think that would be great! 👍

[@SirFrag32]

@@ustinates335 I agree. As much as the 5.7 would be better, it's like removing the heart and what this truck is about.

[@sarahrucinski5185]

I can't wait to buy an "It's Dinner Time" shirt as my husband and I say it all the time now!!! Plus the money goes to such a good cause.

[@PatrickPoet]

So glad you're taking Dinner more seriously. Please continue.

[@daforst13]

He has always taken dinner seriously, he has said it on multiple occasions about how dinner is away working on other stuff because he is too valuable in LAB vs being in a YT video.

[@dewayneshondee7197]

DUDE! You always showing love to everyone around you. Dinner would be another person who would appreciate a gesture like fixing his ride. Humble, hard working and optimist. Love y'all. Keep on doing the righteous thing.

I fell in love with Dinner in about 5 Seconds. Seen you on Matt's recovery 👍

[@psycocavr]

i love seeing Dinner doing work as opposed to just filming. Its cool to see his skillset.

[@scout2nut]

11:50 Do NOT keep the receiver dryer, it has desiccate inside and if the system has been open or discharged any time at all, it is spent, this is a normal replace item for AC servicing, only thing sucks about it is GM put the recharge label on top of it

[@mrolsen6987]

X2 on that comment. Always change the dryer if the system have been open.

[@chuckwagon7171]

Agree

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

YES!!! As a former AC tech, I can tell you that is a replaceable part. Do NOT reuse.

[@PuffMan.]

I was going to say the same thing until I saw this comment. Definitely a replace part.

Replace that and add a separate trans cooler

"i said NO Bo NO!" "Oh I thought you said GO Bo GO..." 🤣🤣 Great movie

[@HDvids101]

Dinner and Hillbilly build just after the Golden Nugget is a way to build the channel more . Keep the characters which people know on the surface in the spotlight and lets us know more about these interesting people (people want to know trust me) . Then engage the other channels (Matt and Fab) and make it an ongoing thing with you guys building/fixing everybody's (all employees) rides. It will be viewing people want to see IMHO.

[@danielstockwell3395]

its the Linus tech tips intel makeovers but for trucks/cars, good entertaiing content. keep it up

[@GuyChapman]

So great to see Dinner wrenching and showing subject matter expertise.

[@swampdog1011]

I love what you guys are doing here... if my opinion gets heard.... you've gotta try and re-use the steering wheel, it's the main part if the truck that was a direct connection to his dad, he held that thing every day, sweated on it, beat on it when someone cut him off, etc etc.... you gotta keep it😉👍

[@trishamitchell7086]

Yes! 100% agree

[@misseselise3864]

i see where you’re coming from but in the video they posted of the recovery, you can see that the steering wheel did not have an airbag (or at least one that deployed)

[@autotek7930]

Actually you should replace the drier. Being exposed to atmosphere it'll soak up moisture from the air especially if it's humid...... they are stored under a vacuum with rubber oring sealed plugs to prevent that. It can cause premature failure of the compressor is to reuse them after opening the system

[@mikeworkman3593]

I'd just replace the drier anyways, who knows how old it is. On the new Fords they barely last 50k miles on our transit vans(E450s). I'd also flush all that system, because who knows it it had already failed before the wreck. At the very least run the ac for like an hour, then pop out the new orifice tube/screen and replace it if it's full of debris. I do this since it's impossible to flush the aftermarket ac system, for the rear ac.

Lastly, if y'all are keeping with a V6, can you change the gearing in the differentials to help move the 35s?

I say put a 350 5.7L in it to run the 35s, the five speed I would keep. Convert the doors to electric windows (depending on the donor truck) The 88-98 OBS platform is very interchangeable. Go with a good sound system, Kenwood or Kicker Most importantly put a good radio in, that's what every 16 year old likes
