Inspect the '62 Chevy C30 before the CAR WIZARD starts the Rolls Royce engine swap 

Nice job getting the Rolls Royce logo in the mirror when talking about the interior.

That truck would look great with a clean simple paint job and your company logo on the doors. I'm looking forward to following this project.

Kind of a shame to replace the engine when it's running so well. Personally I think the whole "patina' thing is overplayed...would love to see that truck in something like a single-stage teal/aqua color with off-white bumpers and trimwork.

Amazing how those old school 58 year old hood hinges still work unlike many of the hood struts of today. I'm looking forward to the build.

I'm surprised the old engine and trans has no leaks. That's amazing! 😁

I would do a "back to stock" 100% restoration. But to each their own.

Finally, Hoovie money put to good use.

A wizard just bang that dent out of that hood do not replace that hood that's a good old hood

There's almost zero chance a modern vehicle will work when it will be as old as this truck! I'd keep the running engine and paint it just like new!

Keep the engine and transmission for another project!

4:15 Rolls Royce logo in the mirror is perfect

Please paint it car wizard! A nice and simple paint job would look nice in this truck!

I'm sure it will make a good tow vehicle. Back around 1990 a friend bought a 70's Bentley (he still has it) which probable had the same engine. I was amazed at the torque. It would smoke the tyres effortlessly away from the traffic lights. Very undignified, but a lot of fun. The surreal part was that it was almost silent, just a quiet hum and a hissing sound from the tyres.

Today I saw the Car Wizard himself cruising down the road in this truck! I find this project fascinating, as my dad owned a similar model when I was a kid. Love your channel!

It needs a nice 'wizard blue' paint job & decals.

If you're going to sand it, firstly check if the paint contains Lead or not, it's a pretty common thing to find in paints from this era

Really glad you got the old girl going! I will actually be a little sad to see it get changed as it’s like a time capsule, but it has a fun future in store for it Looking forward to seeing more! (Hopefully we get to see Tyler take this for a spin before it goes under the knife) Oh and do you still have that big rollback? Haven’t heard much about it since you got it That’s another I’m looking forward to

Seeing it roll in under its own power kind of made me not want to see the swap anymore.

Sounds sweet as it is with 261 straight 6. Old engine would be a great engine for schoolkids (highschool or vocational) to tear down and rebuild.

Has anybody suggested naming it yet? I'm thinking Tow's Royce

Have Ms Wizard invest in a quality light for the camera. I'd like to see under the hood and the car much better.

I can smell the gas and exhaust from here, looking forward to seeing what comes of it!

the paint job on that truck is truly amazing! thanks to mother nature.

That tailgate is WAY TOO COOL to remove and make a bench from! Really looking forward to this build!! Thanks, Wizard!

Thanks for the update. I also see the dilemma between painting and not painting. You are turning into quite the artist. That truck is pure Americana! I just hope you opted for better than reupholstery fabric than Hoovie's Ferrari/greyhound.

PLEASE REBUILD IT FULLY 😭

I had a 63 parts truck for my 66. It was a c10 and had the torson bar front spring. You should toss the leafs and bolt in the truck arm coil set up. You can put soft springs and use air helpers for towing.

I believe a lot of one ton parts will bolt on from the 1973 through 1987 maybe up to 1991 .if you want disc brakes and a newer rear. have a great day

I would be tempted to have a paint job and a bit of interior work to go with the RR engine and box also have the shop on the doors.

Family has a 69 Chevy. Solid truck, 4 generations have driven it. Very few issues. The bumper was a dealer add-on for Chevy until the 80s.

My very first truck was a 1966 C30 pickup, and it was a very reliable and rugged vehicle. It had a 250 inline 6, and a SM420 transmission. These C30 Pickups are very rare, because production of the '66 was only around 3,600 units. I doubt that many of them survived. I paid $300 for it in 1985, and sold it in 1999 for $275. I was so impressed with it, I purchased three more 1966 Chevrolet trucks after that C30. I currently own a C10 long bed Fleetside with a 283 and a Powerglide, and a Suburban with a 292 inline 6 and a SM420 transmission. The Suburban sat in the woods for at least 30 years, and I had it running in no time.

I hope you get it painted Wizard. I don't get misty eyed over rust.

Man that Chevy straight 6 sound brought back all kinds of memories. The swap will be, um, stressful is probably a good word.

Why not paint it? The paint wasn't meant to last for ever. Just like for example the brakes. This car deserves a new paint job..

Love this truck and your concept for the build..!! Hope you can repair the dent on the front of that unique hood..! Maybe clearcoating the patina on this truck is the way to go on this cool shop hauler / tow vehicle..!!

4:02 NOW THATS A BUCKET SEAT!!

NOW, let's see how a "real" mechanic does a swap. Typically I'm used to seeing "youtubers" transplant. Nothing against them, but the Wiz seems like the real-deal.

I know most folks seem to want to have her painted (and fully restored even). But there is something kind of cool about a rusty looking truck with a Rolls engine in it.

I would try to lightly sand it like vice grip garage did to his Dodge sedan a few videos ago. It really looks great and you might bring back a little of the color if you do that.

love to see this truck all fixed up with new paint!

I had a 1967 Chevy c30 long bed step side. it was factory 292 straight 6 auto 513 gear rear end. I bought it at a buy here pay here as a repop for $125. it had a 250 inline 6 with integral head, cracked go figure. a free head and a little work and also a set of 16x10 hurricane wheels. miss her she was like a rock, no matter the job she was always up to the task!!

I have a 1970 Chevy almost same patina. I used Penatrol and applied it with a brush. Came out awesome. Just enough sheen and the color left on the body popped.

Why on earth would you butcher this fine piece of history? Especially if the original engine and drive train are working perfectly. Love your channel!

Why take a perfectly good truck and tear it apart when there are so many others that aren't as good, such as one that already has a bad engine and transmission, but could also be just as easily restored? Seems like a shame to tear apart such a nice example of an original truck.

Pretty cool having a pretty much double the power when the Roller engine is in. I think redoing the bed is a better idea specially looking at how severely rusted the metal bars are underneath.

I don't know if you're aware of this or not; a 1971-87 C20/30 (88-91 R20/30) front crossmember supposedly will bolt right up, eliminating that oddball Torsion bar front end and, will add disc brakes as well as PS to your 1962.

Valuable engine, actually. Mercruiser used this engine for a marine application where it was called the Mercruiser 165. Google that. Here in the north country a common occurrence is an owner that doesn't get the water drained out before winter, the block freezes and cracks and the engine is ruined. Big demand for these 250ci engines for that swap.

a the 4:28 min when car wizzard open the door we see in the mirror exact his rolls royce flag is that accidentally or the cars knows what wil be power him soon.

I like patina in some cases, but a fancy swap like this deserves a fancy paint job. Whatever color you choose will look fantastic, can't wait for this build!

Great editing, Mrs. Wizard (if that's who the genius is) at the beginning. It's wizardry how he got out of the truck.

Make it black and chrome like it would of came out the factory

Love this era body style of GM truck - years ago a friend of mine had an early / mid sixties GMC long bed step side with the old solid lifter V6 and 4 speed, what a stump puller that thing was-! Had a chance to buy it and didnt -- that happened so many times back then, kicking myself now. These old GM trucks were dirt simple easy to fix and reliable as granite if maintained. First time ive every seen one in a 9 foot bed.

The rear bumper never came with a domestic pickup from the factory. 87 was the last year. 88 up chevys were federal mandated for crash safety. Before 88, you picked which rear bumper you wanted installed.

Very cool. The first vehicle I resurrected was my dad's 62 k10. Still have it. Brings back alot of memories.

I have a very similar truck ,a1962 GMC 920 which is a Canadian built 3/4 ton with the 261 ,these are fairly rare trucks. I looked into the build history of my truck and there was only 168 built in 1962. Cool project can’t wait to see it progress.

Our family '64 Chevy is getting the inline 6 replaced by my son next week. He's putting in a crate V-8 and new auto transmission. The original six motor got a cracked block, when my father in law put water in the radiator, and we had an early freeze. The four speed with granny gear still works, but not good for freeway driving. These old trucks are fun, but wow, so primitive compared to new trucks!

3:58 comes with modern blue alcantara bucket seats 😜

Ha,had a '66 C30 with the nine foot bed,17" split rims,a 327 V8 and the four-speed,granny transmission.Was a real beast!

I used to drive something similar a 66 Chevy carryall with the same front end! The Chevy 283 v8 engine will run forever we had ours 25Y there's no need to replace it! Window would get stuck and could be jiggled free; car also got stuck in reverse (3 on the tree) a few times. Baby blue with a white roofline. Ours rusted and we put in a new floor with rivets and cut sheet metal. Leaf springs on the rear. Took my driver's test in it, 1978!

It's beautiful! Don't fix a scratch or dent on it! The world is full of restored perfectly painted trucks. One's with natural work hardened beauty are rare!

I think it looks perfect rusty as it is. I would do some sort of clear coat that would protect the metal from further rust but otherwise leave it as it is in terms of bodywork, just with minor restorations like banging out the dent on the hood and soldering on some new metal panels for the lower parts of the fenders.

We had an old grain truck with a six cylinder like that on the farm where I grew up . Quiet and smooth, it would haul a full box of corn out of the field every time.

Sand it and paint it Wizard. The "patina" thing is a fad, a restored truck will always look good.

It's a nice truck and really deserves having that dent in the hood hammered back into shape. Kinda gives it a nice touch to know that there's a companion car out there with the swap in the opposite direction.

Yes it might take a little more work to get that rear axle to work right anyways as it is offset, and you can see how the original drive shafts are configured to make it work for the offset. The new engine and transmission is going to travel back further so you won't need that much of a reach anyways, the more important thing is how they align with one another, preferably in a straight line, up and down adjustments can be dealt with relatively easily, offsets are more complex.

I'd keep the stock drivetrain Wizard..in case you want to restore it

Amazing. It has held up well during all the Kansas winters.

I'm looking forward to the Rolls Royce engine going into the truck. It's different than the hey let's put in a small block V8 or big block or LS engine. Nothing wrong with those choices but if you're able to do what the Wizard is doing, do it.

Nice old truck to do a modernization of the suspension, brakes, and driveline. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks for another straight to the point informative no nonsense no fluff video. 60-66 trucks which remain intact are a scarce find. This will be an enjoyable driver with the power steering/brake upgrades. Let us know what you do to the rear end to make it more highway friendly. For those interested in these old trucks the “stovebolt” forums are a great source of information.

For the dent on the hood maybe contact one of those paintless dent repair places? They probably can't get it super smooth but getting it close and still being slightly dented may be a good look to go with the patina if that is the way you go with it in the end. Just a thought.

We had a 62 chevy panel at work back in the day. The only good thing on that truck was the 235 they stuffed in it, brakes were SCARY bad. Before that we had a 63 Chevy 1 ton boom truck with a 292 and 4 speed with granny gear. That truck ran great, and even stopped OK for what it was BUT was so slow because it was geared like a Jeep. The van also had a 3 speed trans, horrible, couldn't even get up a slight hill if you stopped and had to get going again. I TRIED to get them to put a truck 4 speed in it when the clutch and trans finally ate themselves but they rebuilt the 3 speed again. Those things need all the gearing and brakes they can get if left mostly stock. your going to give that thing everything it needs to be a dream to tow with and actually stop. Those things had shocks, even my 41 power wagon had knee action shocks on it. It looks like they just knocked off one of them and never bothered to fix it because it was so stiffly sprung and they probably didn't drive it much.

I completely understand your dilemma with the paint. Booth ways would look epic. I think the patina would be the better choice if you lowered it a bit and put slightly wider wheels so you have a bigger patch of tire to put the bigger power to the road.

Paint it! Give it new shiny paint making it look like new, there are already a lot of old cars and trucks with that “patina” on them, a new coat of paint would look gorgeous on it!

You got you a really cool heavy duty truck that is really great shape. Looking forward to seeing the build of it.

Wizard you just have to find a 'Spirit of Ecstasy' for the front of that gorgeous bonnet (hood). She goes with the engine ... Personally I would re paint the truck in whatever colours were on those trucks when new but keep it 'original' externally. The old girl deserves a new coat. Especially as I know you will make that RR engine look beautiful. Respects on a great find Sir.

SUCH a cool truck wizard. Can't wait to see the final product

I love that you are putting a rolls engine in it! Put a loud exhaust on it too!

@ 0:15 captions read “Music” while revving the engine. I’m sure Scotty would agree...

Wow! a one ton truck with a straight six that is crazy.

Sand and paint it. Like milk white or something. Replace that wood. Sandblast all of your parts and paint them. Make that truck museum quality but with that rolls engine. Then take it to shows. People would love it

"It's alive guys" is the most animated I've ever seen the wizard, 😳

That sitting on a bucket is just fine comment was hilarious....

I have a C30 with the 290ci six and a 10 ft flatbed and duelies on the back. Slow and an absolute beast. Only downside is they don't sell 18 inch tires for cheap.

The Rolls Royce logo in the truck mirror at 4:15 is a nice touch.

I would not change one thing about that truck except to make it safe & roadworthy. I started my refrigeration career in 1962 in one of those except it was a delivery, six with three on the column, no power steering or brakes. No A/C & the radio was extra but pretty much unheard of in working trucks. The in cab heater was also extra. Low gear is just about a low, low so the truck could pull. Hitting 50 MPH was a miracle and scary. The rear is low to provide for carrying weight. The bumper is not stock & was added. The compression was pretty low & the HP was pretty low to as back then we never had to go on super highways...as they didn't exist. I hope you keep it the same & just use it for parts pick up and advertising. And the extended bed was rare.

The truck looks nice and coherent as it is. But after you install the RR engine and transmission you need to repaint the truck to retain its coherence. I think white pearl and lots of chrome woud do. In the future you might also restore the planks on the bed. Luxury pickup truck - one of a kind.

With the 2 piece drive shaft, I would consider a stand alone Overdrive unit between the trans and carrier bearing. Keep the 5.+ ratio in the rear for deep down pulling grunt, and Double Overdrive for the highway.

Amazing how its in such a good shape for its age and how long its been sitting. I would keep the patina look to preserve its originality. And it looks really cool as it is even with the dents and such. With the RR motor in that, it will be a killer truck for sure.

That truck is awesome good find, cant wait to see the finished product

Whatever happened to that huge tow rid you bought a while back?

I'd say leave as is as long as its possible (still need to patch up those rust spots) it just keeps the character of the thing alive. You migt nt know its story, but you see its scars. Besides, you have a shop to run and surely more than enough other jobs/projects to get done. Maybe comes in handy to save the time for those. Just my2cents. Looking forward to whatever you make out of it.

I realize you are making videos of the swap and the work work, but have you considered taking pictures of before, during, and after to see in snap shots of what was and then what is, when its complete? Have you thought about updating the lights to LED's, such as the signal / running lights and the interior lights. Some people have strong opinions against LED headlights, but I think that some people who use aftermarket LED headlights don't bother to get them properly aimed so they aren't blinding everyone they meat on the road.

Probably one of my most anticipated swaps! So unique and I think that's a great truck to swap that into!

I've been watching you from the beginning but this project is what made me finally subscribe! I'm excited. Are you? This truck is amazing. And I'm a Ford guy.

Of course it works, it's simple, nothing fancy or over-complicated. Wish you could still buy cars like that today.

Take a good look at the bumper. It's possible that the bumper was manufactured by Cline Industries that I believe was located in Sand Springs, OK

Wow! And hey, only some slight surface rust underneath. Man, now's a great project to restore. I'd say, at least do the engine swap and get it to a body shop, get it painted in some nice simple color, and it'll be an awesome ride!

why am I more excited to see the hood pulled on this than any modern supercar.

It's good you're putting the Roller engine in it. I do know the 6.75 litre takes a lot of water to cool it, and about an hour to fill it, has to be done slowly.
