Ok...bro

[@jamesberdine8574]

This is going to be a great truck! Glad you are sticking with the 300. I think it will need a Sniper 4 bar. And all lights should be LEDs. Great to see your boys helping out.

[@timothybier4504]

Power Nation Made a Boosted inline Ford 300 Monster , would be awesome to build something like that.

[@rogeliomoramora6091]

Are you going to get more of your coffee mugs in? I need a new one.

I cracked up when Brad took a drive shaft to the throat. Definitely a working with dad moment. Didn’t say a word and kept on keeping on. Great family. Love the content!

I was Born a Chevy Guy, but that 300 is the best engine ever made! Book it!!!

[@boydbeasley3751]

The 300 inline six is the best Ford engine ever made.

[@daledavidson7266]

Glad to see the 300 rebuild. I have a 89 f150 that was my dad's. Over 260k miles with efi and still going. Thanks Derrick and the boys for this video. Looking forward to #2 😎👍

Thought my name was “MOVE”, or “SHUT UP” when I was a kid. Love how you answer all the boy’s questions and explain why. Being inquisitive will get you far in life. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Great job boys!!!

As an almost 30 year old blue collar guy, watching Derek and his sons work on this truck made me so happy. my dad was never in my life and I had to learn all about this stuff on my own. I wish I had had a dad like Derek. keep up the great work man. Someday those kids will cherish times like these.

[@GregZentTrumpetMan]

They are so lucky to have a Dad that is teaching them all things mechanical

I’m in the same boat as you. It sucks not growing up with that influence.

That driveshaft to Brads face is a classic dad move😂

[@comporangeterminatorcobra]

I literally just typed the same thing and saw your comment haha

[@loose_nuts_are_faster]

In my head (maybe 5 seconds before it happened) I thought, 'Brad's gonna get that...'. I think it just adds to the wholesomeness of the video.

[@edkrupka742]

​@@loose_nuts_are_fasterI was thinking the same thing.

[@tylerthompson2417]

More fathers like Derek = better world to live in. VGG is run by a damn good man.

[@CBRHurricane6]

Very well said. Definitely second this

[@bradleymckay365]

Best videos are when dad and the boys are working together. We have 2 boys who are in their 30's but unfortunately we just lost our oldest of the 2 and our only 4 year old granddaughter on December 1st. I can't tell you how much joy your videos have given to our family and your videos and a couple other ones who have really helped me fix my own cars but helped me get through losing them, so thank you VGG, everyone of you.

[@wandajames6234]

Oh my gosh-- my heart goes out to you. May you find comfort in each other.

[@jimrusso1988]

Bradley is country strong! The way he held back the truck! Also the way he survived the near decapitation from the driveshaft😂😂

[@petebrandstrom1038]

Bradley and Bentley are the stars of the episode! Good job boys.

[@MunDad]

Derek for president 🇺🇸

[@anarchistdan]

[@DakarRaider]

Your patience working with the younger humans is admirable. Those of us who are lucky enough to have wrenched with our kids knows it can be challenging at times. Massive respect, Derek.

[@sandyadams9446]

Well said,Sir.😊

[@WreckOfLamb]

Your boys are so respectful. Much appreciated by this old man.

They're the best

[@kimchipig]

[@Rick11231948]

Respect is given and taken...good job

[@edelbrock18]

You’re raising those lads up right. I can remember spending countless hours with my dad turning wrenches on cars. Best memories they’ll ever have!

[@kidwave1]

Yep, when they are long in their years they'll be saying, "Remember that old F-100 we built with dad", "or that old chevelle" etc etc. Each project is something they'll remember fondly.

[@suterfamily5578]

When I was 3, I was under my Dad's 1950 Willys Panel Delivery "helping" him (slowing him down I'm sure) with the exhaust system. Fast forward to when my oldest son bought a 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria for $550 as his first car with over 160K miles on it and he had to work on just about every system on that car during the next 5-6 years while he put another 80K miles on it. He's now 28 years old and married but he still has the Ford Crown Vic and it still runs well and it's his favorite car! Wrenching on your own vehicles builds character and helps you to understand the value of things and money and hard work. Derek, thanks for sharing your wrenching with your family with us.

[@wildbill23c]

Never did with my dad....my grandfather taught me the basics over the years. I can do a lot of repairs, I just don't have the patience for it LOL.

[@StonkeyDomp]

​@@kidwave1and even better, they can go back and watch it whenever they want. And think of the hours of footage we don't see. What an archive of an amazing childhood!

[@sgttombailes3380]

In 1986 I started my construction company w/ a 1965 F-100 as my 1st company truck after buying all the tools and equipment I needed to build homes.. It was a little rough, but it was all I could afford and it was a work horse. It has now has a frame up restoration. 59 years later it looks like it just rolled off of the Show Room Floor in 1965. Love It !!

[@scoobyroorogers]

Very COOL !

[@matthewmckenzie6465]

Love watching the boys get after the tear down. What a great memory and teaching moment for them. Job very well done, Derek.

[@dinonelly]

I have two young boys, and I couldn’t stop smiling watching your boys wrenching with you. There is no greater feeling as a father than sharing time with your boys doing projects together. I especially how Bradley just jumped in and started cleaning up without being asked. You have lots to be proud of and your boys are going to be grateful for this time you’re spending with them. You can’t put a price on that.

[@mtthom8630]

A guys training his boys to be men… love it. Keep up the awesome work. You and jessica are doing a great job.

[@rickyestes7477]

Awesome to see...my dad left my brother and me when we were 2 and I never could understand how he could have done that...I have kids and I love them more than I can explain

[@orionfixr7713]

So good to the boys take an interest . An education is never a waste !

[@leekidwell8795]

Awesome to see, my dad taught me how to wrench. Memories that I will never forget.

You can't say he doing a good job as father I mean he probably is but u never know

[@George-dy3pt]

​@rickyestes7477 yea it may have something to do with your mother!

[@CLewis-ti4hn]

I have watched most of your videos over the years… Watching you work with your boys is probably my favorite. This is what its all about.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Agreed!

[@mactrak7997]

In 1980, I bought a brand new F150 with the Ranger trim level. It had the 300 six and a T-18 4-speed. I bought it like that mainly for economy but the more I drove it the more I liked it. It is still my favorite combination! I'm glad you're keeping the six; it's a great engine and will work harder than it sometimes gets credit for!

[@majoraslayer64]

Derek's a good dad, those kids are more lucky than they'll ever know. My own dad, as well meaning as he was, would have already lost his patience with me several times instead of taking the time to teach me these things. Example, I only recently learned how to use those chain hooks myself because I'd never seen them before. Derek is patient and takes the time to put down the camera and demonstrate to him how it slips over a single chain link; if I hadn't immediately figured it out on my own, my dad would have gotten mad at me for it. Dads like Derek are a rare gift.

[@wandajames6234]

My dad was the same-- but he worked like a dog on our small farm and had to do so much without help, I can understand it now- couldn't then.

[@majoraslayer64]

@@wandajames6234 I love my dad to death and he's still my biggest hero, but in his younger days he was definitely not a patient man lol

[@YesItsNotMe]

I was that dad, my son turned 30 last month. I regret not being more patience with my boy when he was growing up.

[@Tigershart271]

Brad would agree but he can't speak as he took the drive shaft to the throat 😂😂

[@TheNilla2020]

They will realize it when they get older

[@EnginesandElbowGrease]

I think a Clifford intake with a sniper efi system, headers and a mild cam are EXACTLY what the truck needs to not be overkill, but better than it was when it was built in ‘78. SUPER excited for this build Derek!

[@Foxfatherracing]

Exactly what I was going to say

[@dalesmith3669]

Yes, the Clifford intake with the sniper EFI is the way to go. Yup that would be the way to go headers and all. The sniper for fine tune adjustability and all the rest for tourge and HP'S...

[@mikewatson4967]

Yeah the EFI is worth overlooking originality for the reliability and the little extra bit of performance.

[@jeepinspence]

Agreed. There’s tons of off idle punch built in it needs help in midrange and some upper to make it more drivable on todays highways.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Aaaaaaand a 5 speed transmission.

[@jeffpowers2916]

Really nice seeing the boys working with you in the shop. Especially seeing Brad, don't see him alot.

Haven’t seen Bailey around.

[@papatomsthoughts]

I was just going to say it is great seeing Brad more. These boys have a best teacher.

[@Gav6489]

Derek, I have to say that I love watching you mentoring your young blokes. You are creating memories and instilling values long lost to much of our busy western society. It is so satisfying to see that those values still exist.

[@BJBTJF54]

Great to see the two boys working under the F100 . I'm Australian and when in my mid teens my dad had a '68 F100 and later traded it for a '72 model both fitted with the 240 six. Every Saturday he got me to crawl under the ute and lubricate the grease nipples. I was skinnier in those days and had plenty of room under the vehicle. Years later my dad told me that the F100 didnt need to be lubricated every week, but he wanted to give me something to do and get my hands dirty and learn about caring for vehicles. He has long passed and as i approach 70 I still think about him every time i see a F100, and the life lessons he instilled He'd be 100 this year.

[@Jdwescott]

Derek you would make a awesome high school auto shop teacher,those boys will be building their own car or truck in no time.The part under the truck taking the drive shaft off with Brad was hilarious.

[@Hendoneesia]

@22:40 when he drags the u joint across Brad's face so nonchalantly, watched it 10 times "thanks buddy" i'm crying xD

[@ryancleveland9553]

"Gonna re-build this 300" good man!

[@natecampbell4708]

It's heartwarming watching you teach your sons as you're working together. It reminds me of doing to same with my son, who's grown now and living in a state that's over 2,000 miles away. The generational wisdom you gained from your Dad, that you're now passing down to your sons, is priceless! That kind of knowledge can't be bought.

[@russupsidedowntopbottom955]

Derek, A feller loves each and every one of your videos, but the ones like this that include the family are some of the best you’ve produced. Makes a feller wish he had this kind of bond with my old man. Cheers 🍻 to you and yours. Sure do appreciate you all.

[@flipitflagpole1328]

I hope one of the kids keeps what he has started going. I love to work on cars with my dad. didn't have KZbin I did all the work and he told me what to do gust like this. the kids won't miss it till he's not there. my dad always said one day You'll understand.

[@randyguidry4958]

I gotta tell ya, watching you wrench on a straight 6 with your boys brought me right back in time to the 70's and wrenching with my dad on our old 1964 Ford straight 6. Still one of my fondest memories from childhood. My dad passed a few years ago and watching this episode brought a tear to my eye.

[@jimfox9951]

I'm right there with you . And I have one of those old 300 inline six engines in an 83 f-150 4x4 with over 300,000 miles on it and still runs very well.

If anyone ever wonders how to be a great Dad, positive roll model, and a great influence on your Sons, well pat close attention to Derrick, he is from everything ive seen over the years how a Father should be and how you should treat your boys. Ive seen him off camera, and he is no different. He doesn't put on an act for appearance sake. He is just an awesome human being and from what I can tell, he and Jessica are doing it right. Those are 3 boys who will have respect, morals, and integrity. 3 very important values that most people today have no clue what those words mean. Derrick keep doing what your doing, you are a true inspiration.

[@DebbieBuchanan-y9g]

I bought a truck just like this in 1985. I just got divorced and had 3 children. I was a single lady and every one thought I was crazy. First thing I ever owned that I paid cash for. Loved that truck. Drove it everywhere until someone hit me from behind. Saved my life but was never the same after that. I love your shows. My husband got me stuck on you. Thanks for what you do.

[@jeepinspence]

One of my friends in Jr high lived with his recently divorced Mom. She purchased a nice pea green fully loaded 73 f100 xlt lariat for the main car for the two kids and herself. She said she loved how the cab heated up so well and so quickly, and how it seemed so strong and dependable (there’s something deeper there) and safe. I recall he and I walked to a local convenience store at twilight and she was to pick us up after work. It was a cold winter sunset in Illinois and I can still feel the warmth of that cab that just seemed to envelop me as I slid in. She was right there was something so cozy comfortable and safe feeling. I ended up buying one very much like it when I was 16 in 1982. I traded a 76 firebird that was eye catching but just helpless in the snow, for the 74 f100 xlt in a medium olive green and all the chrome and bells and whistles. What a good truck that was I put many miles on it past 100 k when no one seemed to do that. I spent all my graduation money on rebuilding the heads at 80k mi as they were starting to puff smoke a little. I don’t regret that decision. I miss that truck.

[@pamelagreen8543]

I’m going to love following this build. Your channel is the best. Thank you. I was thinking some time after I watched the video,considering the rear gears,what about bolting up a 4 speed with a bull low. Just a suggestion.

Nice to see the two boys helping dad and getting to know the in's and out's of rebuilding this truck. I hope from start to finish. Goodluck

[@vancejohnson4395]

Really looking forward to this one. Thanks Derek and family for all you do.

[@danielsmith9500]

I can’t get over how clean that truck is. Ur such a amazing dad Derek! And ur kids are so involved and have so much knowledge at such a young age. I was the same way as them but I can’t get my kids involved doin mechanic work. I’ve tried so many times. Poor Bradly you put a choke hold on him with the driveshaft

[@andrewrubenking4644]

I really appreciate the patience and care you show while teaching your sons! It is clear that you are a loving father who wants to make great memories with your boys!

[@FJB8885]

Teaching the kids how to work on the old truck is priceless. Your boys listen and get what you saying. Asking questions is the best way to learn. A fellas got some good kids, your family is the workenist. 👍✌️🇺🇸

Watchin your boys learn "wrenchin" from their dad is awesome!! They already know so much.

inline 6 is the best motor ford ever made!!!! cant hardly get out of its own way but wont die, perfect engine for a kid to learn on... parts are cheep and easy to come by and get too

I love the decision to restore this one! My first vehicle was a 78 round headlight, F150, 351m, full time 4x4, C6 auto, dual tank, long bed. Was rusted to pieces (this was in the 90s) with a bent, but otherwise solid, frame. Loved that truck. This one here is a gem! The lack of rust is mind bottling!

Perfect. I just got a 1980 Ford F150-300 that I am planning on fixing up. I haven't had a car in over 6 years; been out walking the streets. I look forward to watching this build. Thanks for the content.

Hey Derrick, I’ve watched your show Road Worthy Rescues from episode 1 but I was introduced to your KZbin channel around about October of 2023 and I have now watched every single episode. I’m a huge fan, love the type of father and family man you are, and now have a couple of your hats and shirts. Thanks for letting us fans into your day to day my man!
