This is horrible news....I am at a loss for words. I had no idea he was not feeling well. He was doing a set of carbs for me that I sent to him back in August.

I know there are others with carbs there as well. Give them a little while to get adjusted to the sudden passing. It was not expected. He was not feeling well and had a bad cough and cold. It was not Covid related. It would make things easier for the nephew who is helping sort things out, if you have carb number, date codes or even pictures. They are not sending anything out anytime soon because they want to make sure everyone gets their correct parts back. Bill was a great guy with lots of knowledge. He did not mind sharing that knowledge, either. I think they can get things straightened out, though.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Bill and I always maintained a good relationship and helped each other when either of us needed help sourcing carburetor parts, etc. He was always very kind and generous with me even though we competed on carburetor jobs. We lost a great guy! Prayers to him and his family. RIP sir!

We lost Bill Overcash on Sunday. He went by 62maxwgn. He was a good friend. He has done several sets of 6 packs carbs for me and countless others. I enjoyed our many conversations over the years as much as I admired his work. He had my latest carb boxed and ready to ship but was just having trouble getting to the post office. He did not feel good for the last couple of months but never complained about his health. If you have carbs with a Bill right now, his nephew is a Mopar guy and knows a lot about Bills business so they hope to get everyone’s carbs back to them. You may need to have patience in that respect. None of his personal stuff is for sale.
RIP my friend. Clarified perfectly! Rip Bill Will miss him Just emailed him on Sunday to c how-he was . Darn Less and less good people in the hobby ! Prayers to his family
