ABANDONED Ford F250 First Start in 24 years - Vice Grip Garage EP39

I bought this forgotten 1967 Ford F250 on a farm hours north of where I live. The truck was last plated 24 years ago. I attempt to revive the old truck, and drive it off the property! Plenty of ups and downs with this project! Overall, the trucks in pretty decent shape considering it was left for dead. Think it will start and I'll make it off the property under it's own power? Watch and FIND OUT!

Thank you - that's an awesome comment. Appreciate your subscription!

@@ViceGripGarage I really enjoyed this with my morning coffee. I really liked how you had Bradley so involved. That kid will remember being partners with you in that fix that all his life. That inclusion is so important.

"fantastic Dad" Makes me feel good to see this kid hanging out with his Dad, getting educated on stuff. All the stuff I've learned by working on projects with my Dad is invaluable.

Congratulations on being a good father. In my case, my "father" never materialized.

"Thanks for helpin' me, bud. You did really good today. I'm proud of ya." Best part of the entire video! If more dads remembered to do that, more boys would grow up into dads that remembered to do that.

Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed

[@Believe231]

Yep, that was precious. My father and I had those kind of memories together as well, but mostly either together under the hood in the garage, or under the hood on the side of the road, or under the hood in some parking lot. Yep, it was a '71 Fiat Special 124 sedan, and yep, not much more needs to said other than it definitely was a "Fix It Again Tony" Special 😂. Great times for sure! If I only could relive the early to mid 70's again...(sigh).

I'm a 65 year old grandpa and some of the best memories of my life were laying on the cold garage floor with my dad getting some kind of piece of junk running. I still remember being about Bradley's age and smashing Dad's thumb with a hammer while "helping" him reline brakes on an old Renault Dauphine. He maintained his cool and said, "Let's finish the job." You're making memories with your son that will last him a lifetime.

A Ford in a F.O.R.D (Field Of Rusty Dreams) Not sure if I can do Friday, Friday is usually wobbly pop day. A guy probably shouldn't operate a confuser while he's under the alfluence of incohol . I got myself half hammered once watched a a video a while ago, some guy ran his battery down trying to start a Mitts-a-bushy rice burner. I tried giving him a boost over the inter webs and fried my wife's confuser, figured I must have hooked the cables up backwards, it only smoked for an hour. Be careful in that tall grass, there could be some of them Danger Noodles hiding there. I found myself in a similar situation not long ago, I saw one in the grass got the ax and chopped it up in 20 pieces, looks like I finally found the garden hose I lost last year Oh well, what do you do. Looks like Saturday is not a good day for me either, promised the wife I'd shave her back...What are you doing on Sunday?

They were good engines. I had a Ford with a fuel-injected inline-six and despite the miles, ran like a champ. Due to the low HP and heavy weight of the vehicle and the automatic transmission, I typically either had the pedal planted to the floor or totally off the pedal. I regret getting rid of that van.

My dad didn’t have a truck or a trailer to pull it home so we bought 2x4 and a milk crate and we had a seat. The floor pans were gone along with both quarters. But it ran and shifted so we rode home flint stones style. Me and my dad spent the next year and a half getting her road worthy. I learned sheet metal, bondo, fiberglass, painting, and memories that push me to do the same with my sons. Love this channel and his sharing his passion of old cars with his boys.

My parents had an old 67 F250 with a 390 for just about as far back as i remember. My grandpa got it for them when i was little. My dad used it as a back up work truck. My mom used it as her back up daily. We would put an air mattress in the back and take it to the drive in movies. I loved it. Unfortunately they didnt really care for it and got rid of it right about when i started driving. I was sad to see it go. Id kill to get one like it some day just for nostalgia. This video brings back great memories

Man when you looked over to your son as y’all were riding in that ole truck that hasn’t moved in decades and y’all got it running together and you said thanks for helping me... you did good today son I’m proud of you...... man that hit me deep in the feels... that’s a moment neither of you will ever forget! That’s what is wrong with kids these days... lack of that moment.. parents not making time with their kids.. creating and opening doors to life passions for them.. congratulating them... disciplining them.. appreciating them... lack of parenting is what makes terrible ppl.. I can tell your son will be great and do great things!

[@ViceGripGarage]

You nailed it Gradon - thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed

[@JBmusicart]

Life skills, I thank God every day for giving me a dad that did this stuff with me too.

[@theronash7269]

Amen to that!

[@bobhulstein1758]

Thanks for being respectful of Bradley!

[@Joe..3.8.0.9_]

That young man is going to be a great mechanic one day if he chooses with a DAD like Derrick ! Joe Navy veteran 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Isosceles87]

Humble beginnings to a humble present. These are memories Brad will never forget. Ones he will pass down to his kids one day.

[@sharecropper1825]

These videos remind me so much of the Red Green Show I guess that's why I love them.

[@joeday4293]

He looks just like a dear friend of mine but talks just like Red Green. LOL

[@ViceGripGarage]

Glad you like them!

This is the only reason I came to the comments

[@moondawg3693]

You're a heck of a teacher and dad. Best way to teach is assign and trust, keep an eye so they're safe, but lettem think and figure it out and always recognize goodness and hard work. More men recognized your parenting here than anything, makes me proud to see that being a good old feller, is still so important to us. God Bless from Cobiconk Ontario.

[@ViolentDetour]

Love this truck! Have a '69 F-350 myself. You always made me realize you are an EXCELLENT father. Your boys are going to learn so much from you.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Those old ford inline 6 cylinders will run forever. Amazing.

[@ViceGripGarage]

I hope so

[@hg-nf9ol]

im 66 yrs old,worked as a mechanic alll my life! Worked on everything at one time or another. you can check that complete ignition system on any car or truck with points with a test light. Distributer side of the coil,if it blinks when you crank it,points are working!

[@ViceGripGarage]

awesome, I'll file that tip away for sure

[@huntingintennessee473]

You sound like my dad but he’s 20 years younger

[@nickstones5583]

Bradley making memories with his Dad rescueing old knackers out of fields and barns. That lad is living the DREAM!!! GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU 😎😁

[@shantefrancess5174]

Very very nice video as usual Derek!!! I love your channel so much! Your knowledge, your honesty and your videography. And involving your kids in on the action teaches them so much and at the same time gives opportunity to spend quality time together as father and son time. Mad respect to you Derek your obviously a genuine caring person, a quality people have lost over the years sadly. Keep it up you will go places❤️

[@kenleppek]

That old Ford inline six.....might as well be a million bucks in my eyes

[@bustinyanutz4195]

300 beastly cubic inches

[@ViceGripGarage]

[@turnipgreen2869]

the look on the boys face is priceless , reminds me so much of me and my dad when I was young ..

[@ViceGripGarage]

was an awesome day

[@jimmyjones1102]

18:50 “why dontcha kick with your legs I don’t want your head under there..” brought a tear to my 32 year old eye. My father told me the same thing working on an 81 Malibu. Moments later I was told to pick up some lug nuts that squeaked as he took them off. Learned about friction that day. Thank you very much for jogging my memory haha! Keep up the great work and your kids are definitely proud of their dad! Best channel on KZbin hands down

[@MamawT65]

It make me so happy when you bring your son to help you and he is learning so much and making great memories! God bless you all

[@TheRealXyzven]

I love how you have your son along and that's the best part for me.... watching a father/son memory being done!! 👏🏼

[@ViceGripGarage]

thanks

[@cyclesex]

I miss Minnesota. Great video, I started choking up at the end. Old memories with my dad in a farm truck in southern Mn.Thanks for a nice day.

[@crazykansan3026]

My Dad was a Ford truck guy, I have his last one, a '75 F250. Thank you so much-between the truck and watching you and your son, not gonna lie. brought a couple tears to my eye.

[@tallisongreenman342]

Great video! Love that you are teaching your Son by hands on and positive appreciation. Means so much. My Dad had a 67 F-100 with the same 300 straight 6. 3 on the tree! It was a fun truck and a real worker!

[@Brian-cr6rb]

Prime by drinking 42 gallons, I spit beer all over my computer! That's every bit a part of all my adventures! You awesome dude!

[@ViceGripGarage]

THank you Brian

[@dentoldani3460]

HAHAHAHA I laughed my A** off when he spit the gas out!

[@scottwest5013]

Your boy will forever remember these memories. My Pops is gone in heaven but ill forever remember doing things like this with him

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thanks for watching Scott - memory's are worth more than anything in life!

[@cutlassttop]

My kids have no interest, mom said dad would take a pail to sit on, at the age of 3 I got the tire! I remember the 73 GMC pickup, one of my earlier memories. Dad, "hand me the 9/16 wrench". He was under the truck, I was in the wheel well under the hood. He wears the scar with pride knowing that he taught me how to fix anything. Priceless time lost to the video games of the last 2 generations.....

[@Joe-eq8we]

I hear that! My Dad worked for John Deere of Sacramento. He built hot rods and drag raced as a hobby. Sure do miss him!

[@armitage1950]

cutlassttop I grew up on video games, I’m 31 now. Proudly gotten several pre-50’s cars on the road, self-taught mostly. Kids today will learn too, they’ve just got more things to choose from for entertainment.

[@gman7949]

When I was a young boy I remember my dad would spend every weekend in the garage working on his Holden (Australian car) and I'd watch. When I was driving around as an adult we did a V8 conversion on one of my Holdens together. My father has passed since however I remember all of those good times and so will your son.

[@sterlingprice5100]

That's great. You and your son getting that old Ford back on the road after all of those years. Now I need you to come to my house and get my old 1970 Ford truck going again. It's been sitting for 23 years. Great job and a great father/son day.

[@wadepg]

Best episode ever! Father like Son...Awesome you are teaching, not telling. Perfect start for Bradley . Kudos!

[@sarahwhitehead2832]

I love the son and dad relationship. Something we are losing today

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thanks Sarah, I sure try

[@DFX2KX]

can confirm, some of my fondest memories of my stepdad involved wrenching on cars or his old Ford truck.

[@shawngilbert972]

That is just like me and my dad. We still work on projects together, only difference is my dad is 77 and I am 51. Keep up the good bonding, mr. Vicegrip and junior.

[@johnhampton5646]

Going to my dad's today to start the Farmall tractor he's driven every year since he was a kid. Pull starting it with another tractor every spring is a yearly ritual for me since I was a kid, he still mows with it. He'll be 94 this month.

Been watching a LOT of your videos lately. Started going back and watching the older ones. Awesome to see how you have evolved your show and revivals. Also awesome to see your unchanging love with the boys! Great video ....
