I am super pumped for this series! I can't wait to see all the stuff I'll learn through this, especially being only 18 and not having been around this era of truck before!
I have that exact model, I've owned it 25 years. I've done lots of little projects on it, but there are some biggies I would love to do on mine, so maybe a suggestion list for you: First, the things I've done: 1. Rebuilt and improved original 327 2. Turbo 400 swapped to 700R4 3. Power steering conversion to later model gearbox style 4. Front conversion to POL 8-lug power disc brakes (basically uses a 73 C20 spindle/caliper. All factory. Works amazingly well. 5. Convert points ignition to electronic 6. Cleaned up all wiring under the dash and in the engine bay. Fortunately, my truck is low mileage and I"m the 2nd owner, so not many issues there. Yours is gonna need a little help from Amerian Autowire! All that is to make it a really nice daily driver. I drive it all the time and it's super reliable and fun. Here's some of the fun stuff I'd do if I had the courage: 1. short bed conversion. this is common on 1/2 tons, but you don't see it on 3/4 ton trucks with 2pc driveshafts, would take some creativity to work around the trialing arm mount crossmember 2. all metal short bed, with high quality bed liner so I could actually use it 3. AC and copious amounts of sound deadening 4. Remove drip rails 5. One piece windows 6. Bucket seats/shoulder belts 7. convert to large rear window Anyway, I'll be watching what you do. Can't wait to see the engine option. I think a Banks Duramax/Allison would be sweet!
Seat belts in cars, sure a few years later. The DOT however did not require lap belts in pickup truck until July 1970. They could be ordered in 1967, 3-point seat belts where an additional $45 for these. Also in 1967, the rear window was small, but $62 extra, it was built to have the "Panoramic Rear Window", (RPO code A10) standard in 1967. DK, ASE master tech since 78.
in 1966 my Dad ordered a Carryall. In the end it cost the dealer more for it then what he payed because of a contract. It had the 327 idust motor. Those half leafs you showed and much more. Before he took it off the road it had over a million miles on it and all that was done is 8 exhaust valves and new rings at 500k miles. Yep thats correct old bearings cam lifters all went back in. He also had a 1966 1 ton 4x4 and a 1966 2.5 ton. All 3 still run today and are in hands of older brother. the 1 ton 4x4 is powered by a old 327 fuel injected Vet motor.
This should be fun and interesting. I bought a 65 C20 in 2000. Mine is a step side and had that same transmission with the original 283. I installed that same engine, a 350 crate motor from Mr. Goodwrench in mine along with a TH350 transmission. Picked up a Square Body front end for the power steering and disc brakes. I also replaced that damn rear end with a 3.55 limited slip that came out of an F350. I had to do a little fabricating to make it work with coil springs but it's been well worth it to be able to drive over 45 MPH and not sound like it will blow up any minute! Gear sets for that Eaton in a different range were non existent. At least, I couldn't find any, so I assumed they don't make them. I also replaced the springs with a new set of progressive springs to give it a little more load capacity along with better shocks. It rides like a pickup rides from that era and doesn't feel like a car. But it drives like a dream, will pull anything I've wanted to pull and stops very well with the discs up front and the one ton shoes in the rear. That engine was supposed to have 290 HP at the crank when I ordered it and it chirps shifting into 2nd, even shifting on it's own along with the higher gear ratio rear end. I also had a shift kit installed in the transmission by the shop that rebuilt it before I installed it too. I am very happy with the outcome, even after spending much more money than I had originally planned to spend 21 years ago when I picked it up. I almost forgot the Vintage Air conditioning that I installed in it about 10 years ago. It gets a little warm here in Texas driving it in summer. I don't have much rust, considering how old it is. The rockers could stand to be replaced along with patch panels in the lower fenders but I haven't decided whether I'll ever do any body work on it at all. I may just wash it with CLR one day and then clear coat it after treating the rust with Ospho, or something like it, to stop it from getting worse. I am going to replace the floor and replace the bench with a set of good bucket seats and add shoulder harnesses to go with the lap belts I installed. Seat belts weren't mandatory in 1965 so I had to add them and that bench seat was worn out long before I got this thing. But I am anxiously awaiting the updates as you work on yours and the Dyno results! Mine will be a little less since it has to power an automatic transmission but your number will be a good ballpark number for me to keep in mind. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. But hey, if you decide that you hate it I'll gladly pay you double what you paid for it!
I miss my 65 c20. 1st things I did to it was took that rearend out and put in a 14 bolt FF with 3.73s, front crossmember and suspension out of a donor square body pickup so id have disc brakes and clamshell motor mounts, built a nice 275hp 327 and towed my race car from coast to coast for years. The newer alum 8 lug wheels bolt right on :)
I wonder how close dollar wise the difference will be between all that money they invested in the truck in 1985, compared to what Banks is going to do,factoring in inflation of course
Make it a mate to my 63 C10. 6.0LQ9, 4L80E, 3.73:1 Torson. Lower it 2” front and 4” back with 4 wheel discs. Sandblast everything to bare metal, Por15 the frame, French the drip rail, paint code TV2 Bayside blue pearl coat with white on the cab and roof, charcoal interior with white trim. Hoping to finish mine in April.
I like this video. I own a 1966 Chevy C-10 Custom I am doing a resto-mod to in my garage. I look forward to getting it done. The C20 you're working on has more than just potential. It will be a neat truck when you're done with it.
I trashed the hanger bearing in my 69 Volvo 142S while off-roading. I removed the bearing and bushing completely, leaving the support bracket in place. When I returned to roads, I purchased a new bearing but, somehow, I sold the car almost 3 years later with the new driveshaft support parts still in the glove box. It took a bit of clutch technique to avoid (a lot) of banging but I got the knack pretty quickly and forgot about the whole issue.
I drove a 66 all through high school. I would love to see the truck lifted on a K5 Blazer chassis or maybe even something modern like a Silverado chassis. And of course the cosmetic restoration with the twist of making this a diesel
I’d love to see Gail implement his early hot rod history into this truck. I remember your early 2000’s sidewinder twin turbo kits for abc. But the times they are a changing. Gail should do something with the new gen 5 ls motors now. Seems like everyone is lacking with the new direct injection high psi fuel systems they use.and well as we all know gail has been high psi fuel for longer than I’ve been alive.
It be great to see something like the om606. They're becoming quite affordable and more known/recognised in the community and it would be nice to see more development on it in North america
@@bankspower you guys need to do 3L duramax. With a brand new chassis to get updated suspension and so on. Then fix the rust and put a pretty paint job on It
Build a full tube chassis for it with independent rear suspension, modern Brembo brakes (but not painted flashy, think stock VW Touareg Brembo calipers that just blend in), modern suspension, rack and pinion steering, and a compound turbo L5P and Allision powertrain. Then drop the ratty body on it, but maybe fix the bed floor and put a mattress back there and call it something like the Banks Super Sleeper and take it up pikes peak. But before all that, since I'm sure Gale has plenty of vintage Banks parts sitting around, outfit that Goodwrench 350 with a turbo or two and force feed it until you find the weakest link in the chain. I'm betting the driveshaft won't last long at 300% MAD. Oh, and if the engine survives that, toss it in a dyno cell and find out exactly when the rods exit a late 90s Goodwrench 350, you know, for science.🤣
The only decent memory I have of my childhood includes a 66 chevy half ton. It was faded red and in good shape for how old it was... My step father was an ass and sold it to an old fella who only used it to haul fire wood out of the woods to his house..
Hope you guys are partnering with LMC Trucks for all parts that will be needed for that truck. (it will need those parts) I would do a full resto and leave at stock height and NOT lower it but upgrade the suspension components a bit. As for engine wise and you are always running Duramax Diesels. No doubt you might use that killing a Duramax engine that can make 1000HP and all the banks goodies to run it. But that rear-end wont last under that much horsepower and torque It will be a neat project and a lot of people will have ideas to plug into it.
I would go one of two routes in building that truck. 1) Duramax swap and build a sleeper truck 2) fully built Duramax with big turbos, high-performance injectors with a 900 horsepower & over 1,000 pound feet of torque for drag racing
old truck needs an old diesel. I would love to see them put an old Detroit diesel, like a 6v53 or 8v93, in this thing and then try to make some power with it, and not just a lot of 2-stroke noise like they are normally used for.
Of course there's grit in the oil on the outside of the diff housing, it's been driven on the road. Hope it doesn't end up like so many others do, with everything but the vin being brand spanking new.
Awesome video I'm a great fan of Banks my Ram has a hole bunch of your products i can't wait for the next video the biggest question is GASOLINE OR DIESEL for a power plant keep on wrenching God bless and stay safe in these troubled times 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
That drive line looks like the support with the rubber bushing looks normal I’ve never worked on a truck that old but that looks like it just their to keep the drive line in place
Just for something completely different...look at the twin turbo Toyota V8 diesel found in the Australian Landcruisers. 4.0 litres of over engineered perfection just waiting for Banks performance enchantments. I'm not a auto trans fans but the 6 speed manual is bulletproof.👍👍🇭🇲
I keep seeing Gale's Marauder driving through the Home Depot parking lot in Glendora. I can't figure out of he's getting stuff at Depot or cutting through the parking lot to get to In-n-Out.
How much might you want for that factory shop manual? I've got a '65 GMC 920 (Canadian version of the C20) with a 292 I6 that's waiting on me to have time for it...
Awesome truck build something FRESH getting tired of all these lambo builds. I’m thinking of completely dismantling putting the body on a new all wheel drive chassis with some crazy quad turbo engine that runs on liquid natural gas. I’m also thinking of a kraco radio from back in the day.
Left out the fact that it came with the desired large back window. Only way it would be better is if it were a short fleet bed. I also wanna know where you bought that thing for a dollar. Anything sub $2k for a runner that isn't molested is a screaming deal.
Well obviously gotta go diesel , a duramax would be to easy and obvious choice. Since it’s a 3/4 ton , cat 3120? And Alison, then get it on the dyno, do some mpg runs too
Banks, of course you can go bigger than a 3.0. But you're Banks, and here's a golden opportunity to show how that little 3.0 can whip serious ass when it gets some Banks Power style roid rage. Seriously, Cummins and V8 Duramax swaps are ridiculously cliche at this point and not a challenge at all for you. Let's see you get 1,000 lbft. of torque out of that 3.0 Duramax.
Those carrier bearings can only handle so much power, which looks like it has been exceeded. Upgrade the drive shaft to the bigger carrier and you’ll never have that issue again.
I would love to have a truck Identical to that one, same year make, and model. I am looking forward to watching this build. If you can please let me know if you find another 66 C20.
$1 bought it. Many $1,000's more will be spent / invested and we get to follow along.... Oh Boy!!!! How about swapping in a Cummins diesel with Allison Transmission!
Love to see a 60-66 come into Banks! Looking forward to seeing what yall do with it. P.S. Consider getting a gimbal, camera work is distracting when bouncy.
@@bankspower Ok,i'll bite.. Put a top alcohol engine in it like shitbox of doom with efi and drive it on the street as a part's gettin' truck! It could be turbo's instead of a blower i guess :)

This reminds me of "Trucks!" I miss Stacey David, so this is nostalgic.
He has a channel called “Gearz”.
@@lifeontheroad_ Thank you! I can't believe I didn't know about his new series. Now I have a lot of videos to watch.
@@lifeontheroad_ - When Alan said he missed him I thought maybe he passed away and I hadn't heard.
That man taught me everything. He’s an outstanding guy just like Gale
@@alstuart your best bet is to subscribe to gearznation for all his builds. He doesn't upload very often.
That’s not Gale’s house, there’s no data monster on the stairlift.
It is rosanne’s house
@@davidryan9521 lmfao i was like tf, i knew i recognized this living 😂
@David Ryan Glad someone caught it. 🤣
That's gotta be the home for the "killing a duramax" engine once that series is done!
I am super pumped for this series! I can't wait to see all the stuff I'll learn through this, especially being only 18 and not having been around this era of truck before!
Hey bud, I'm 71 and been working on these for most of it. I bet I will learn something too.
Tell me where you got that truck from for 1 buck! That's a freaking steal! Thing is in showroom condition!
When you put the l5p in. You will need to fix rust or parts will fly off
I’ll give you $2 when y’all get it done... looking forward to this build and the crazy swap this is going to get.
"What is this, the worlds longest corrosion test??" F-ing LOL!
Maybe a tetnus shot is in order LOL

i agree! Enough of these piles of rust.

it's supposed to have a limited slip differential. It doesn't seem to be working with the one wheel burnout

Turn it into a boat. Let's see some of these marine products we keep hearing about.
Make the exterior and interior look 100% original.
but have some crazy engine/trans combo.
Perhaps
@@bankspower you guys need to do 3L duramax. With a brand new chassis to get updated suspension and so on. Then fix the rust and put a pretty paint job on It
I think you’ll be able to find most of the missing stuff through places like NPD but even still at 1 dollar it’s a hell of a deal.
Keep it a sleeper, but with a monstrous engine and sandblasted/painted subframe
😄...😏
1966, the year I was born. Another thing your truck and I have in common, we both have the same amount of rust.
I'm so excited for what we're about to learn!
I can't wait to see how this build goes 🙏🏻😌
That aftermarket blinker system is factory for most of the semis in the 90s, I'd guess a trucker a diesel mechanic owned that truck 20 years ago.
You may become very familiar with the LMC trucks parts catalog soon. There is going to be a lot of remove, repair and replacement of parts.
Half staff :( sad times
This is great tho, puts a smile on my face
Is that because of the officer that died? Sad times indeed.
Build a full tube chassis for it with independent rear suspension, modern Brembo brakes (but not painted flashy, think stock VW Touareg Brembo calipers that just blend in), modern suspension, rack and pinion steering, and a compound turbo L5P and Allision powertrain. Then drop the ratty body on it, but maybe fix the bed floor and put a mattress back there and call it something like the Banks Super Sleeper and take it up pikes peak. But before all that, since I'm sure Gale has plenty of vintage Banks parts sitting around, outfit that Goodwrench 350 with a turbo or two and force feed it until you find the weakest link in the chain. I'm betting the driveshaft won't last long at 300% MAD. Oh, and if the engine survives that, toss it in a dyno cell and find out exactly when the rods exit a late 90s Goodwrench 350, you know, for science.🤣

You should throw a small turbo diesel motor in not a huge one but a small one and then squeeze a little bit of the numbers up
Hope you guys are partnering with LMC Trucks for all parts that will be needed for that truck. (it will need those parts)
I would do a full resto and leave at stock height and NOT lower it but upgrade the suspension components a bit.
As for engine wise and you are always running Duramax Diesels.
No doubt you might use that killing a Duramax engine that can make 1000HP and all the banks goodies to run it.
But that rear-end wont last under that much horsepower and torque
It will be a neat project and a lot of people will have ideas to plug into it.
I'm going to call it Mater!
I would go one of two routes in building that truck.
1) Duramax swap and build a sleeper truck
2) fully built Duramax with big turbos, high-performance injectors with a 900 horsepower & over 1,000 pound feet of torque for drag racing
old truck needs an old diesel. I would love to see them put an old Detroit diesel, like a 6v53 or 8v93, in this thing and then try to make some power with it, and not just a lot of 2-stroke noise like they are normally used for.
We were thinking of something more modern, more powerful.
Sounds like it's time for a LP5 install.
Looks like a perfect LP5 candidate to me.
🤘🤪🤘
Sand blast. If anything left move forward!
Of course there's grit in the oil on the outside of the diff housing, it's been driven on the road.
Hope it doesn't end up like so many others do, with everything but the vin being brand spanking new.
factory ac is rare on that model ,and yes that carrier bearing is toast
LOL Gale moved to Lanford, IL. Say hi to Dan for us.
3.0 Duramax testbed, better get on developing products for it!! Also could do a prerunner/ chase truck with a service box bed
Awesome video I'm a great fan of Banks my Ram has a hole bunch of your products i can't wait for the next video the biggest question is
GASOLINE OR DIESEL for a power plant keep on wrenching
God bless and stay safe in these troubled times 🙋♂️ 🇬🇧
Clearly it should get the monster truck engine
That drive line looks like the support with the rubber bushing looks normal I’ve never worked on a truck that old but that looks like it just their to keep the drive line in place
One minute in. Loving it.
Just for something completely different...look at the twin turbo Toyota V8 diesel found in the Australian Landcruisers. 4.0 litres of over engineered perfection just waiting for Banks performance enchantments. I'm not a auto trans fans but the 6 speed manual is bulletproof.👍👍🇭🇲
Nice, now do Holman's truck!
My suggestion is don't sand blast the body. You might not have a truck anymore. You may have a Flintstone mobile....
We share the same concern.
You could try soda or walnut blasting. It's not quite as aggressive and will take the paint off and let you have a deeper look.
Thats one hell of a project. Im sure its gonna be a nice truck when its done.
My new favorite channel.
They didn't come with air conditioning, it was just a vent and fan, the heater draws from the engine bay and the "cool" comes from the wiper cowl
When LokJaw is done, it will. We're adding it.
I keep seeing Gale's Marauder driving through the Home Depot parking lot in Glendora. I can't figure out of he's getting stuff at Depot or cutting through the parking lot to get to In-n-Out.
Gale hasn't driven the Marauder in a while. He's daily driving his Caddy CT6 V.
I hope you guys are installing one of the plenty L5P's I've seen in the background!
Lightning, you still ROCK!
⚡😄⚡
This is going to be awesome!
My first vehicle was a '66 Chevy C10 with 3 on the tree. Mine didn't even have the passenger side sun visor from the factory.
Are we really not gonna talk about how he's sitting on Roseannes' couch?
😂😂
My father had one like this but it had a 292 . He destroyed 2nd gear and drove it with 1st and third for years.
I'll double your money for it right now! I also have the factory shop manual if you need it.
How much might you want for that factory shop manual? I've got a '65 GMC 920 (Canadian version of the C20) with a 292 I6 that's waiting on me to have time for it...
That’s has less rust then my 2008 pickup. You have a huge advantage finding gems not being in New England.
Great music. Thumbs up for the composer and band - even if it's all the same person
This deserves a roadstershop slammed chassis 😍
😏😉
Greta new series, I am excited!
This should be really well done. Can’t wait
Awesome truck build something FRESH getting tired of all these lambo builds. I’m thinking of completely dismantling putting the body on a new all wheel drive chassis with some crazy quad turbo engine that runs on liquid natural gas. I’m also thinking of a kraco radio from back in the day.
In this episode Jay buys a rust bucket and Gale moves in to the set of Roseanne.
😂😂
Left out the fact that it came with the desired large back window.
Only way it would be better is if it were a short fleet bed.
I also wanna know where you bought that thing for a dollar.
Anything sub $2k for a runner that isn't molested is a screaming deal.
Well obviously gotta go diesel , a duramax would be to easy and obvious choice. Since it’s a 3/4 ton , cat 3120? And Alison, then get it on the dyno, do some mpg runs too
You are very wise. 💪😁
This is gonna be great!!
Can’t wait for episode 2 where I can see where all that water came from at the end
Should be a cool build, definetly have your hands full
Supercharged 2 stroke Detroit diesel, but let gale go nuts on it, sensors everywhere, make it efficient and powerful. Most of all get that DATA
You're a smart man!
Update all (blower for sure) but the body, have it sealed.
Put a turbo 3.0 Duramax I6 in it with the most boost y'all can forcefeed it . Paint it matte black, chop the top, slicks on the back.
😏 We think we can do better than a 3L......
Plot twist. Cummins swap.
Banks, of course you can go bigger than a 3.0. But you're Banks, and here's a golden opportunity to show how that little 3.0 can whip serious ass when it gets some Banks Power style roid rage. Seriously, Cummins and V8 Duramax swaps are ridiculously cliche at this point and not a challenge at all for you.
Let's see you get 1,000 lbft. of torque out of that 3.0 Duramax.
@@RedfishCarolina bigger plot twist 6L Powerstroke?
@@bmstylee Well hell then why not throw a CAT 3512 marine engine in the bed of the truck and put the turbos in the passenger seat.
Those carrier bearings can only handle so much power, which looks like it has been exceeded. Upgrade the drive shaft to the bigger carrier and you’ll never have that issue again.
I would love to have a truck Identical to that one, same year make, and model. I am looking forward to watching this build.
If you can please let me know if you find another 66 C20.
Do the full body restoration. Cummins 5.9 with an Alison transmission.
$1 bought it. Many $1,000's more will be spent / invested and we get to follow along.... Oh Boy!!!!
How about swapping in a Cummins diesel with Allison Transmission!
Call LMC Trucks they everything for that truck. Good luck.
My kind of build. I love it.
I'm thinking they should do a new 3L duramax with a brand new chassis and a nice paint job
Cool idea, but not enough cylinders.
Great show and concept. Thanks.
I have a 66 C10 truck. But mine is in alot better shape. It's on my channel and I take it to car shows
The ferris bueler intro killed me.
What would I do? Cummins 12 valve and all the huffers it could take.
Oh, i recognize that turn signal! That looks like it is from a golf cart!
Love to see a 60-66 come into Banks! Looking forward to seeing what yall do with it. P.S. Consider getting a gimbal, camera work is distracting when bouncy.
Nice truck for a new series
In Ohio that truck is mint...
Go for it ferris!
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
@@bankspower Ok,i'll bite.. Put a top alcohol engine in it like shitbox of doom with efi and drive it on the street as a part's gettin' truck! It could be turbo's instead of a blower i guess :)
