Meet Bullnose Bill – Bullnose Garage Mechanic (Pro Version!)
Some problems on a Bullnose Ford are simple.
Others make you sit down on the shop floor and wonder what the hell Ford was thinking.
That’s where Bullnose Bill Pro comes in.
Bill Pro is everything the Standard Bill is… same shop-talk attitude, same Bullnose focus… but built for the questions that need more muscle. The weird ones. The long ones. The ones that come with photos, diagrams, wiring disasters, or a mystery bracket you found under the seat.
Meet Bullnose Bill Pro.
He’s the fully-equipped version of our AI mechanic:
- Better at long, complicated questions
- Handles photos and diagrams
- Goes deeper into troubleshooting
- More patient when you show him that parts pile that “used to be an alternator bracket, probably”
- Full access to the upgraded reasoning and toolset
Bill Pro is a Patreon-only tool for folks who want the absolute best version of Bill in their corner. He’s built for the messy stuff, the weird stuff, and the “I swear this made sense before I started taking it apart” stuff.
Not ready for the Pro version? That’s totally fine. The free Bullnose Bill Standard is always available and still answers everyday Bullnose questions like a boss. Use that one whenever you want.
But if your project keeps getting deeper, stranger, or starts involving diagrams drawn on cardboard…
that’s when Bill Pro earns his keep.
He’s built to give practical, real-world advice. No fluff. No influencer hype. Just straight answers and a little sarcasm when appropriate. If there’s a right way and a wrong way, he’ll tell you which one costs less blood and fewer weekends.

How Bullnose Bill Pro Uses AI to Help With Your Bullnose Ford
Bullnose Bill Pro is the advanced version of our AI mechanic. He’s built for deeper questions, technical rabbit holes, and all the weird problems that come with 1980–1986 Ford trucks, Broncos, and vans. Everything under the hood here is tuned specifically for the Bullnose platform: the engines, the drivetrains, the electrical quirks, and that whole early-’80s mix of vacuum logic and engineering optimism.
When you ask Bill Pro a question, it’s handled by a powerful large language model. It’s the same kind of AI behind tools like ChatGPT, but Bill Pro doesn’t operate like a general chatbot. His instructions are more detailed, more focused, and more restrictive. He’s been directed to stay squarely inside the Bullnose world while still being capable of helping with broader mechanical issues when you need it.
Bill Pro understands the context behind your questions: multiple photos, long explanations, tricky symptom chains, wiring diagrams, mislabeled connectors, the whole nine yards. From fuel tank selectors to NP435 rebuild questions, from 351W timing quirks to diagnosing why the 300 inline-six suddenly hates cold mornings… this version of Bill is built for the messy stuff.
Unlike the Standard version, Bill Pro has permissions to browse the web and pull live information when it’s helpful. He also uses a huge body of automotive knowledge… manuals, mechanical guides, old forum wisdom, and general engine theory. And he’s been told to keep things accurate and call out uncertainty when it matters. Even the best AI can occasionally make confident mistakes, which is why Bill Pro is continuously refined and improved.
Exceptional conversations may be cleaned up and published as reference articles on the site, contributing to the expanding knowledge base. These published answers help everyone, whether they’re using the free Standard version or Bill Pro.
Bill Pro doesn’t “remember” your past chats unless they’re in the current window or saved as an article. He isn’t storing your personal info, tracking your projects, or following you around. He just focuses on helping you solve problems, understand what’s going on, and keep your Bullnose Ford running, driving, and improving.
If you ever want a quicker, simpler version of Bill for basic questions, the Standard Bullnose Bill is always available and free to use. But for anything technical, complex, or photo-heavy, you’re already in the right place… this is what Bill Pro was built for.
