EV vehicles will never come close to how much excitement this car brings me
@@justbrandonll2773 Absolutely.
That's a real beast ! love the stance and style of that c10. Amazing job
I think a lifetime of building cars, hotrods and owning a body shop all add to the mix when it comes to “getting it right on the night”
My redneck dream ride!
@@davidkuharich9269 Many of us.
What an absolute masterpiece
On behalf of the builder, thank you. He did a real good job.
Came for the truck, stayed for the KillDozer decal!
Agreed
Good to see it parked over in that garage! Awesome job Dennis 👍
Absolutely Ed. You want to come do a LS conversion in 10 days in September?
That is the baddest truck I think I've ever seen in my life you are one lucky man
Have you seen this one? Hid son races it. ruclips.net/video/BDuAjh1JQ1s/видео.html
That "clutch buck" is no joke!! Awesome build brother!
Thank you on behalf of Dennis. He certainly got it right.
Not clutch buck. Big cam and a locked out distributor
Watching all the way from new zealand. Amazing truck mate. It truly is
It certainly is.
Being the passenger in something that started as a random comment fueled by beer….. and building it partway then throwing it away and starting again with a better truck, going from patina build to a build his friend RIP Mike Mittler of Mittler Bros tooling and a whole NASCAR truck racing team can be proud of……. Priceless.
You sir have done it correctly. Beautiful truck
Thank you on behalf of Dennis, He certainly built it right, with no shortcuts.
Absolutely love it! Made my day 👌
Only if these vehicles could talk imagine the words they would say after yelling out,
“What the Frank?” The first time it felt seven times it’s original Horsepower!
Amazing build with little touches sparking many memorable conversations while igniting the creative juices in those that once believed they were creatively tapped out.
Knowing the dash was cast from empty beers drank presuming by those that worked on it or came by to bs while it was being built is remarkable touch!!
Hi Klaus, interesting comment you made about casting and beer cans.
If you look at the JONES gas/petrol pedal, that foot was cast in Oklahoma from beer cans and old alloy wheels melted into ingots and then used to cast various things.
Ive been wanting to do a similar build on my 1980 Malibu 😍 this video just gave me the mental green light to do it. So badass 🔥
And you wont regret the blood sweat and tears. Hope it comes out as you visualise it. Be true to your vision.
@@Grizzmakes thank you I most definitely will do that 🤝👍🏽
Damnit that looks like alotta frustrating fun!
I had the honor of seeing it in person at his shop. Super cool guy! And that boom tube is legit SO loud!!!! Like he says, that R07 motor is WOT or nothing. It is all go!
Dennis sure is a special kinda nice. Like me, he also never met a stranger. My life is better for having met him in 2016 though he was following my European and American shenanigans before we met. Never met a kinder, more generous guy.
@@Grizzmakes Beautiful truck, may it last for generations.
I love this truck so damn much I seriously can’t wait to get my swap done on my 62 c10 😫😫
Me to. Can't stop looking at it, every time I go outside 😩
A work of art!
A THING OF BEAUTY .. IM IN LOVE.
Workin on a 72 nova same style. Not actually gonna race it but looks badass and the kids love it!
Great car choice for a build. I doubt Dennis intends to race this, but he has challenged cops to races before……
Awesome truck
Looks like FUN!!!
Can't drive without a beer? Speeding on a frontage road with no seat beats? New subscriber here!!!!! Love it!
No officer, that is all just movie props, done from the safety of my recliner chair.
You are right, any time spent with Dennis is fun and educational.
I learn new shit every year when I visit them.
Awsome truck brother, a bit of a handful and a beautiful Song she sings, gota love that…!!!🤝
Gabriel, I think that is exactly why he built it. Absolutely brutal, and moves the air like thunder when you stand near it.
Wow...who needs a radio with this under the hood!?
Great Build 👍
Thank you. Dennis is good at this stuff.
Holy crap!!! That's what I wanna do to a pickup!!! That's the look!!
Agreed, he got the look very right.
Beautiful pickup ..
Certainly is. He built a good one.
That's straight badass👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Certainly is buddy, certainly is. My face hurts from grinning every time Dennis takes me for a ride in something he built or has in his shop
The Killdozer sticker is a fine touch!👌
Sure is. They are building a massive abattoir 200 yards from his home where he has lived over 30 years.
@@GrizzmakesI had a good chuckle myself. Near you?
Nice truck!!
Absolutely love this truck!! Totally badass! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thanks a lot for your comments. Feel free to share if you think more guys/gals will enjoy it. The work that Dennis put into single handedly building it at home, from where he started, to what he has now is mind blowing. The truck really only wants to go VERY fast, so low speed driving is painful to say the least, but nail it and the grins get bigger.
Awesome 😎 thank you
One word Beautiful
An amazing build with masses of attention to detail.
Amazing truck, I’m a 62-66 fan!
They are neat trucks. I have one here in England in 1000 pieces I need to get back onto to finish restoring.
Just a reminder to you guys that want to put a high compression engine with a massive cam in it into your stick shift car let the bucking be a lesson. Their is no getting around it. The the mile long first gear in that thing is also a factor. That engine needs to cruise at 5000 5500 just to be happy. Below that it's all over that cam. So big cam + low speed is a no no. Good luck.
Yeah but it sounds so good once you’re lined out spinning her up to about 6k in 3rd. Man I miss my old Nova
Yeah I figured that out the hard way with my 55 chevy with a well built 496 with Muncie 4 speed thinking about either swapping a less aggressive cam or swapping to a turbo 400 with a stall
It's 🥰 perfect.
From watching a lot of the drive portion it doesn't seem like it would be fun to drive with all the bucking and stalling, not good for cruising it seems. That engine just wants to go fast in a straight line.
@@hankkrendl8952 engine doesn't care if its straight, turns, upside down, it just wants to sing...
That’s awesome. Well done sir. Why can’t I have cool neighbors like you?
Well…… you could have cool neighbours, just need to move to Missouri.
Love the sound of popcorn
Certainly beats a lot of other sounds.
Badass truck....use those beautiful harnesses next time though.
Absolutely wicked!
Thank you very much. It certainly is a brutal thing. Feel free to share it about as it seems to make a lot of people happy
@@Grizzmakes I shared it last night, great video!
Enjoyed every bit of this video, truck is a bass ass, gramps too.
Thanks Kevin, Yup…… Not a bad word can be said about Gramps, he, myself and another buddy got pulled over by a State Trooper on Thanksgiving 2018 headed for New Orleans, doing 86 in a 65 by accident and he told the trooper he had two Brits (neither of us were Brits) who wanted to meet a Trooper, so he got us there as fast as possible. Trooper let us go with a gentle warning.
Had 66 fleetside short bed custom once, really miss that truck
Still have mine in 1000 pieces, waiting patiently for its full resto.
Gotta love a screaming V8. Til you gotta fill it again, anyways. Love the build, sounds a TREAT!
Thank you. I think any of us who decide to go with anything like this, knows the price of a ride, and choose to still do it.
@@Grizzmakes were a glutton for punishment
Lol, grabbing a couple of roadies before driving an 800HP beast. Crazy.
Always. Always.
Beautiful chevy
Thank you, Dennis did a good job, looking at what he started with.
Beautiful
Thank you for your reply.
It is a great truck.
Wow. I love this thing.
Thank you.
It is even better in real life. Dennis built a show winner here, the finish is really great as you can see, and going out for a run in it…. Man, you can only grin madly and hold onto your beer.
@@Grizzmakes I would love to see this ride in person. What a beautiful build. And the engine tone!!!!!!!! Uhhhhh I could listen all day.
That is wicked!!
Thanks a lot. Yes it certainly is.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 one badd ass 66 C-10
Certainly is. Thank you.
A reminder that as much as you think you want a race motor in your daily driver, you just don't...
Yep I made that mistake once....or twice
I do 🤚
Probably won't pass smog in CA.😂😂😂
@@techs1smh13 who cares? No one wants to live in California anyways.
@@user-ge2qn6gp4o me neither but born and raised in once was the greatest state.leaving soon. 🍺
Nice truck..
Gracias.
Massive cam + stick shift + long gear = buck you city lol.
I've watched this atleast 100 times in the last two weeks. All I can think about is working on Jolene, my 1967 ford f100 ranger. I want her to sound like this one day. She may be primer gray but I want her to rip like this. I blew the 355 Chevy power plant up a few years ago. A few years before that I blew up the 302, but the next motor I'll take a little more care of. But I'll still send it. People that have never done that in person will never understand, that's idk, memories that last forever. Everyone loves my truck. I just wanna finally finish the ol girl so the world can enjoy it like many have enjoyed this video.
@blueridgeboy That is a MASSIVE compliment and reply.
You are very right, that Boom Tube exhaust makes the hair on your arms rise.
It is absolutely visceral, and the force of the acceleration makes you grin madly.
Many people will never understand it, but that is fine too, what counts is that we get to share this stuff.
I always hope that guys share this with their buddies and that it inspires more builds, wether it is a Honda Civic, a Lexus powered Ford Focus os some crazy diesel ratrod…….
We just need to keep the skills and passion alive.
@@Grizzmakes your welcome and I definitely agree with you as well. There's nothing like that feeling of being behind the wheel of something like that truck. We definitely need more people to join us and enjoy the passion. I know I've definitely shared this with my buddies an they all love it too.
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got the boom tubes on there 😮
Them and the rest
Great vehicle for taking the wife for a drive.
"Sorry love, I can't hear a word you're saying". 🤣🤣🤣
😂 I suspect that she never will. Or maybe she will.
Dude's got a pounder in the cup holder and his buddy has an aluminum bottle 👍🏻
Never an empty hand, always a cold beer in reach…. Them’s the rules.
Drinkin beers,bangin gearzzz,MERICA
Absolutely. And I love ‘Merica
BAD ASS truck. Idle needs to come up a bit 😎🏁
I suspect it is set up as good as it can be to give a balance of driveable performance. Regardless, it is a buzz when it comes on song.
Awesome truck be neat to see what it does when on the proper surfaces.... Where you can wind that rpm up to where it was built to live....
Morning Justin. I would agree with you. Hopefully that will happen some time for the builder.
this is a dream...
That is how it started.
I LOVE IT !!!!!!
Crazy thing and nothing but a silly grin when you are around it.
On top of old smokey. Looks and sounds good though
Footprint gas pedal like Joe Dirt lol love it
Thank you for the reply.
If you look closely you will see it is custom cast with the name Jones.
A buddy of ours in Tulsa cast it from old beer cans we melted down.
Video clips somewhere im my account
@@Grizzmakes Now that is cool!! Those footprint type pedals were on a lot of toys back in teh 60s, 70s.
Or guys would take one out of a boat
Truck is all or nothing wants live near the limiter what a beast 💪
Absolutely right. Motor and trans were built to race around a NASCAR track at top speed, none of this school run or fetching bread and milk nonsense.
well cool 👌
Nice!!! Getting drunk being outlaws on the back roads
Not quite, but close enough. Always pushing the line a bit, but never too stupid, we did that shit 30-40 years ago.
This is not a street friendly daily driver, but it is cool as hell
100% Robert, thanks for the reply. You got that right.
It was built on a limited budget, by a skilled guy, to do burnouts and be a hooligan when he can.
Daily driver never even entered his mind, when he started the build, he had a Hemi Challenger for some jobs and a few trucks.
I do a road trip in the USA every year and write it up. More about the truck around page 6.7 or 8

Dennis and his body shop was the paint and body supplier for many years through a friendship he had with the late Mike Mittler of Mittler Bros Tools.
Mike ran a large, privately owned and bankrolled NASCAR TRUCK RACING TEAM with several trucks, pretty much each set up for various tracks.
In 2008 one of the trucks caught fire after a crash at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The driver, PJ Jones (not a relative) got out safely.
The wreck was brought back to Wright City and years later in 2015 Mike gave it to Dennis, at this point the dream was still in its infancy.
Add the Nascar truck to an older body, before streetable race cars was a thing.
Over the following years, Dennis collected all the parts he would need to build his dream hotrod truck, including a couple of Hendrick race motors, transmissions etc.
No bugs around that place now.
Lovely Ute, (Ours are no way that big) as we call it in Australia. Awesome power. What State are you in, really beautiful countryside.
Hi Adam
I live in the UK but go do a roadtrip every year.
Dennis who built the truck, lives near St Louis, Missouri.
This links to my yearly trip reports. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/222511/lonesome-cowboy-roadtrip-grizz-2022
Ain’t worth having if you can’t drive it… I’d be changing the clutch on that thing right now. Cam being massive doesn’t help any, but damn... Sick looking truck! 👍
CLutch is probably fine, take some duration/overlap out of it.
Damn this is so awesome. Do you happen to know what chassis he built that thing on? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.
If you know your Nascar truck racing it was a 2015 chassis if I remembered right.
It was driven by a Jones guy and caught fire. My buddy got it from Mittler Brothers Racing team.
Animal, wowers
Totally
The closest I've got to that was my 66 C10 short wide, small block 350 RV camed the performer manifold 600 holly , Turbo 350 and Stock 12 bolt rear end 😎😁
Yes sir
I want to do this to my 65 C10
Surprised your driveway is not all mud and dirt like you guys like it
This is ALL the kool🏁
For sure is. Share it widely.
Awesome build, got one of them nascar motors lying around for my vw jetta? 😂
I don’t think so. But a turbo would help
Hah...those would twist your jetta into a pretzel
Munssey Speed makes carbon fiber truck parts for this truck!
That cam does not like being lugged, what fuel are you running? Love it.
Pump gas
Please tell me how wide are the wheels in the rear and what tires are you running. I love your truck
@@grumpy1962R Hi Charlie. 10 inches wide. NASCAR Goodyears. They obviously don’t last a year 😉
@@grumpy1962R And of course 325-50-15 is what size tire it is
Try to drink your road beer in this truck!
I tried…. Failed.
The grin on my face was too big to be able to drink 😉
Kinda feeling this with my 1980 longbed. Not as violent though.
I think we all build toward a vision and sometimes it delivers perfection and others we need more fine tuning. My Rezin Rockit build videos on here are an example. Parts of it perfect, parts drive me nuts. But overall I love it.
@@Grizzmakes RO7 or SB2.2? Love to see vids in car of him hitting a track and letting it breathe
That setup is NOT cheap
what size and model of wheels used in your truck?
I am not sure, if Dennis reads the comments and questions, he will reply>
However, they are full spec NASCAR Truck series wheels and tyres.
Sweet looking and sounding ride! Is that motor on rubber mounts?
Morning Eddie, it certainly is a beautiful truck, great finishing. No idea on the mounts.
Probably has a motor plate for mounts
What tires are you running? Are they 10" wide wheels? I saw they have a tread pattern. Neat truck.
If I had to guess it's probably the rain tires that Nascar uses , I know they have a tread pattern ,
Yeah thats kinda what I figured.. I was hoping it was something street legal..
That looks like Farmington North Carolina
Missouri it is.
So is this an SB2 engine?? Sounds unbelievable!!
Thanks for the post.
I have no idea what type of engine it is by title as you named it, just that it is a Hendrick built motor. And it is nasty in a big way.
Choke? We no need no stinking choke!!
AWESOME! You have any specs on the motor / exhaust / Trans?
Full Hendricks Racing Nascar under the skin.
Why no engine views?
I was making the clip as it is, maybe the builder will post a reply, or film of it, but just google, or look on RUclips to find more Hendrick Nascar truck motors….. all the same-ish.
@@Grizzmakes Nearly impossible for a competitive nascar sbc to idle that smooth at 8 or 900 rpm. Maybe if they decammed it. And if so that would not be true nascar engine spec
Best part was him coming out with the beer . Fucking love it . Finishing touch. ruclips.net/video/vWRflL5YOUY/видео.html
Just a regular Friday night.
I will be there the 24th for 3 weeks or road tripping mayhem.
@@Grizzmakes Yeah got to enjoy them Fridays 🤙. Maybe I run into you then . I like check her out.
💪🏽😁💪🏽
I have absolutely no use for that truck.......and I really want one.
You and me and a few more guys and gals.
Me thinks that a 8800rpm 355ci motor that you would replace valve springs as often as plugs. But it sounds hoo muma!
I suspect you are right.
Oops I wrecked my car motors good how much for the truck nice build
Not for sale YET.
BUT price may make your eyes water.
How badly does one want to own a hand built 675bhp Dyno tested monster?
what trans is that
I am going to be moving Feature Badazz of the week to Sundays from now on. Being as especially during the spring, summer people are just to busy and the traffic just dwindling on Friday's. I would like to give people the credit they deserve so I think Sunday feature Badazz of the week is going to be better!
That being said let me introduce you to FEATURE BADAZZ OF THE WEEK Dennis Jones and his Badazz 66 Chevy C10 !
This is not your typical C10 build it is built on a recycled Nascar chassis and driveline and every body panel and part and pieces of the truck was modified to make it look like it was built like this in the first place!
The fireball picture is the truck wrecked at Daytona by PJ. Jones and removed from racing and Dennis being a paint and body guy who runs his own body shop was doing a bunch of paint work for the race team worked out a deal to buy the wrecked truck and driveline and the dream began!
The motor is a sealed R06 Nascar 358 cid. Producing over 800hp at 9,000 RPM!!! Mated to a Jerrico 4 speed transmission coupled to a Ford 9" rear differential set up for road course.
The wheelbase was modified 7" to accommodate the chassis to the body.
The chassis was built by Kevin Harvick racing
Some other features of the build are the gas fill is still in the stock location and is piped to the fuel cell. Added modern seats and seatbelts to make driving a race truck more comfortable and the additional cup holders as well!
The truck is just Badazz everywhere you look!
The sound of the truck is just nuts as well!
Boom tube side exit exhaust system that was retained as well to keep that Nascar sound!
If your looking for a build thread on the truck you are out of luck he doesn't do much on social media and I was lucky enough to get the build pictures to share the awesomeness of the build!
Please like share and comment on the post so it stays up for others to see !
Congratulations to Dennis for being Badazz of the week!
I am always looking for feature Badazz builds and people who love to think outside of the box and are building things that dreams are made of! If you know someone who fits the part please pm me so we can get them featured!
It's a pain in the ass having that radical of a cam with a standard trans trying to drive on the street isn't it lol.
Totally. But you make choices…… Imagine living with a Prius every day. I suspect Dennis hates that part of the motor too, but it is what it is. Choices.
@@Grizzmakes it absolutely is I made that choice on my 55 in my 496 BBC with a Muncie and she's quite hateful.
I wonder what his Blood O2 levels are
Blood O2 or blood Alcohol ? I suspect his blood oxygen was just fine.
..i love the smell of gas fumes in the morning.....smells like...Victory.
LOL….. yes, that could be said. Made me chuckle here.
Would be much easier to drive with a different clutch, I'm guessing it still has a multi-disk mini clutch in it. Wouldn't sound as cool though.
I have no clue, living here in England, I do not know what a full NASCAR Truck needs to go rolling down the track. Under the skin this a is a full racing truck.
Clutch wouldnt affect the sound. Its a ton of cam and lots of timing lead that makes it buck/jerk til it comes up on the cam
Nice truck. Btw it’s Hendrick not Hendricks.
Correct. My bad.
