I labored over this video a little bit - basically, what excuse could I come up with to do a video on this truck I've had a lot of fun playing with over the last couple of days. We've done hot rodding and restomods, and while it has many rat rod features, it's far from a true rat rod. Then there was the car show angle, but car show people are so awful in person, I didn't want to talk about them in videos. So what did that leave?
All of the above, more or less - with a little bit of TV stuff, and 1955 thrown in. - not to mention a rundown on what Penelope is up to these days. So all in all, it's a grab bag of a video that probably suits covering a junk dealer truck. Hope you enjoy.

Penelope's shop is a mans dream come true. I would spend all day drooling over all the fine automobiles. Thank you for your excellent video and sharing you car knowledge with us. I really enjoyed it and all your other work. Keep it up Bill.
Ugh I really need a solid half hour or so to get my crap together and tidy up my place tonight. And this is just the perfect brief dose of Bill to enjoy whilst doing so. Thanks much Bill, and let's all stay safe and chipper! 🥃🥴
All episodes of Sanford &Son are now on Amazon! One of the funniest sitcoms of all time. Great video Bill.
It’s the Big One Elizabeth!

And sadly, Red Foxx called his own death--by heart attack, on set while filming the show.
Remember the Van in the Chico & the Man tv show?
I wonder how many vehicles Bill has owned in his lifetime. A friend of mine in high school owned about a dozen before he was twenty and he didn't stop there. I find how Bill presents this stuff as hugely entertaining, he could be a successful stand up comedian.
No worries over scratches & dents!!! This would be SO much better than a pristine OCD paint job. Loved watching Sanford & Son as a kid (& impersonating Red Foxx).
Hey Bill, you just can't seem to escape the killer cats!!! This Ford F100 is a very interesting truck, & yes not enough people remember the lives lost on Pearl Harbor Day, may they rest in peace 🙏
You’re selling FUN with this one - “let’s go see what she put together with her feminine hygiene spray” 😂😂😂👏
Bill, thanks so much for this video. Completely unexpected yet fascinating. I loved Sanford and Son. This truck is what I’d consider a Rat Rod primarily. It’s not really that much different than what kids did to cars in the ‘50’s when you think of it. Chopping and lowering a model T and dropping in a flathead or God forbid, a small black Chevy mill. The difference is that the patina and beat up look of those cars was genuine and usually the product of not having enough money to make the car really shine. Now, it’s largely artificial. The truck is interesting enough. It’s more interesting with the Chrysler frame and motor. Sounds magnificent, just not my cup of tea. I did genuinely enjoy the video and the subject matter. Keep ‘em coming!
Hope you are doing well Papa Bill. Thank you for blessing us with more content. I want to see a Saab
Bill, I have to say you are a world treasure, At least here in the states. Thank You for entertaining us old beer drinking mechanics hanging out in the garage until the we hours of the morning watching You Tube!
When you told the Google device to turn the lights on, mine turned on too. haha It happens frequently . Penelope has a nice garage. Thank you for your unique videos.
I thought Sprunt was the name of a Ferengi on Star Trek. Who knew it was such a big thing in the world of feminine hygiene? Sanford & Son had a huge impact on my best friend & me as kids. We still call each other "Big Dummy" to this day. Shows how impressionable we were as lads. I also remember these fabulous 50s Ford trucks from my youth. It seems like they were everywhere in the 70s. Great rumble to this example.
Love the sound of old truck doors when you slam them.
Good Evening Bill how's things been going
It's bed time here in Ireland, I'll have to catch you tomorrow, night all.
It’s nice that the pedestrian can share the street with the vehicles. 👍☺️
Sanford and Son, boy do I remember that along with the Bunkers. Neither would be allowed today and heavily censored if they were.

Those shows were basically liberals poking fun at conservatives. Yet it is today's so-called "liberals" that would object.

@@martinliehs2513 Exactly. Back then there was no swearing or in your face sex and they managed to create great comedy. Too many shows rely on profanity in the belief saying swear words are funny.
Thank you too Bill, you keep us going. I love these videos and look forward to them.
Hey Bill!!! Hilarious!! So awesome, man. I too love Sanford and Son and this truck just makes my night here in Brooklyn. Thanks to Penelope for the use of her space and for these wonderful rides. :) JV Johnny
OMG Bill! I had that same pedal car that I received as a Christmas present one year (minus the steering wheel which had to be sent once the stores reopened), it was white with stripes and a metal windshield frame. Thanks for the memories!
Love this review Bill, your videos are always educational and entertaining, thank you
Cool old ride. My dad had a 50 Ford and this brings me back. Thank you.
You're becoming a household name here, Bill. My 75 year old mother loves your humor and comments about shitty weather, killer birds and Canadians! Cheers.
Looking forward to your upcoming vids, Bill. Great stuff.
I LOVE Sanford & Son (and Steptoe as I'm orig. from the UK), especially when Fred and Aunt Esther were fighting 🤣. The original Sanford & Son truck was living in Northern Indiana a few years back, not sure if it's still there.
Man you get all the fun stuff to play with. Thanks for the vid!
It's a Rustomod :)
Might we be blessed with a picture of the lovely Penelope?
Hell yeah ,Bill. Thanks for another fun video. You keep us going too man.
Buy this one fast, you big dummy!
I suppose the British equivalent would be any yellow Reliant with "Trotter's Independent Trading" stencilled on the sides.
I’m lovin’ that Datsun tow truck, and the Spitfire too!
Shout out to everyone who is aching for a second video this week! Fingers crossed we get a Friday upload... hopefully one of Andrew's sleds or even better - an Uncle Johnny special!
Cool truck..... A good restomod is hard to find. Have fun!! Love the video!!
Aunt Esther : My body was blessed by mother nature . Fred Sanford : And as you got older, it was cursed by Father Time. Aunt Esther : Fred Sanford, the wrath of God will strike you down. Fred Sanford : And this Louisville slugger will knock you out.

AI fine example as to how this type of humor will not ever be allowed again...everyone is so "butt-hurt" and sensitive now!...Good-bye, American sense of humor!
What an interesting video, a dandy indeed. Thanks Bill!
Cool old truck ya got there Bill! Keep the good content comin!
Keep on truckin Bill. Love your videos.
OMG..Bill you just keep getting better and better...nice work
The Rosa Parks story is a concocted fable.
Interesting... and it's not a GM crate motor under the hood! That being said, the sound and pull does seem more than a 318 would have.
Your the only person I have on notification, Love this channel!
Trade ya weather, Bill.. Its 37° in Kansas city today
Where's aunt Esther
Thank you Bill, lot of fun 👍
Bill I love you 😍I absolutely love your infotainment haha I tend to forget about the subject vehicle 🙈and am fascinated by your banter kudos to you from Melbourne Australia 😎👌
Pearl Harbor Day and the 40th anniversary of grandfathers death. He was a huge Buick 225 guy. Always got them deep kelly green or jet black. Grandama always said looks like a funeral car!!! Like myself he was a Veteran . Miss ya Jack V Costello-- a finer Irishman from Boston there ever was, Greatly loved and missed !
I would have loved to know about this truck but this guy had to tell the history of the world. Good night.
Love it man I’m ready to see like a 85 gmc shortwide on your channel love you channel man
You need to buy a Edsel and a amc ambassador . Love your videos they make my day keep it going
Greetings from Kansas Bill. You're super funny, love the vids!
OMG...........BILL!!! IT''S THE BIG ONE!!!!
Run Forrest Run!!! Love that rumble
God damn it....now I have to watch an episode of Sanford and Sons as I haven't seen one in years. :)
“Forget it, he’s rollin’ “
Your videos keep me going, Bill.
Carlin would be proud Bill. Nice work....
This-is the best video yet!
That 1955 F-100 Sanford & Son resto-mod truck is Awesome.
Bill "G" Sanford -- the G stands for GWhisky No. 1! -- Another hilarious review!
Man, you say everything I think. Love it
Thanks Bill, Not my cup of tea, but would be fun to borrow for the week end. Central California Watching
Everything else is going to crap, but Bill always delivers! Video was kinda short, though. There's probably a law in Canada against riding in a pickup bed, so I guess they're outa luck with this one.
They don't build them like that anymore. 😎 Pearl Harbour... Changed the world. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 That cat. 😬
Please Bill, do a complete review of the 2007 BMW Z4 3.0si coupe that’s for sale at Autohaus!!! You’d done a Z4 3.0si roadster last year but PLEASE review the black coupe you guys have in stock!! You’re the best Bill!!
Front lights of this truck gives an impression that it's CRYING. .😂😂
Like the farm turn signal lights??? Not. But the Sanford & Sons hat tip is appreciated. Great modern morality tail. My Tan and Nutmeg?? Yes Nutmeg Cougar. Could identify with this. She's turned into a warped Cherry 2000 Mustang cross bread with 64 Aston Martin Omage. Everyday driven and gets her best reviews when we go running out in country. At the country restaurants where the young kids show up in their beat up pickups. It's a great conversation making machine. She's developing a BAD CAT AURA. After our two decades together. I restored a 54 1/2 ton in 75 dropped 312 in front of the 2 speed automatic and painted it Corvette pearl while with Cherry red running boards. Black and red diamond pattern recovered bench seats. And Yes I have photos.
Great video. Could you review Penelope's Riviera?
Bill, we need a review of that '65 Riv and the Porsche speedster!
Love the Patina :)
They dont teach this in schools anymore. They learn things like "why little Jimmy doesnt know which bathroom to use". Peace and Rememberance on this day. God Bless you Bill, thx for that mention, and #LGB
kind of a dream truck . i love it
Bill owns this truck!!!!!!!!!!! A little sanding and paint should bring it back to new, sort of?
What about the Porsche Speedster up on the lift?
looks like a good project for someone to finish
It's amazing that this truck lasted this long
Rat Rod, Restomod, whatever you want to call it. It's freaking awesome! I love that show. I was born in 78, but I grew up watching reruns of it. And I always loved that truck. Myself, I would've had to make it more like the one on the show. Maybe that show is the reason I hoard used car parts and sell them online now 🤔. Also, my grandmother was from Wales, so British comedy was something I grew up watching too. Benny Hill, Monte Python, also the original Dr. Who. Awesome stuff. Makes me want to watch some now
You forgot about a red letter date in the history of science November 5th, 1955.
Bill,my grandmother who spoke no English loved Sanford and Son,so we were forced to watch it.It is today one of my favorite shows.Mike the Greek
Let's have a butcher's at that Triumph Spitfire lurking in the background.
Penelope single??🤩 Sprunt..That is Genius!!!💍
As I suspected Sanford & Son was based on our own Steptoe & Son which ran from '62 till '74. American sitcoms are often based on their British counterparts (we're rather good at that sort of thing). However, where we are behind is on 'luxury' ours being rag bone men using a horse and cart!
0:40 is that a rare face shot of Bill?? If so I didn’t expect him to look like that😆

Love it
Sleeper is, sleeper does. Love it
Bill, you need to look for a restomod 80 Firebird Formula!
Sprunt? Bwaaahahahahaha! I think that was George Carlin. Love your vids, Bill. Keep up the sarcasm!
My favorite show on you tube
Sanford N Son is on Pluto TV right now. Sorry Bill gotta go!
Bill is the funniest guy ever! Xoxo
You're a riot Bill w/ the snowflake talk.Couldn't believe this truck was on curious cars.Did a double take & enjoyed you're definition of a rat rod.Kinda hard to put you're finger on it!
I'm crying over this man's comments about his fridge
they'll have fun with that one
Sprunt…lol. RIP George Carlin. Was one of the best.
And for the rest of the day I walk around whistling the Sanford and Son theme song
Cool truck
Hell Yeah !
Bill, please take car of yourself with enough rest and sleep, even if you need some time off from doing new videos. You don't want to get sick.
