I told my hubby I wasn’t leaving till we met and and your crew ! We finally came to the conclusion that something must have happened to have kept you from making it. We love watching your channel and I bet I could tear down an engine all by myself. Of course my hubby has subjected me to years of car shows!He is building a 1973 Ford F350 dump truck into a Rat Rod.

Sort of ironic that you and Chad, not the other Chad, ended up scooting around in a '66 Ford and a '66 Chevy. Pretty neat...

Thank you Derek for showing the reality of being a car guy. With the breakdowns and issues along the way, your attitude and perspective through it all is great!

[@graydanerasmussen4071]

@@DakarRaider These are old machines! Literally hundreds of 50+year old crucial bits, each of which can fail at any time. Not to mention many MANY years of rebuilds, replacements, new parts, "new" parts and downright juryrigs holding them together. But they have bags of class! If you want to go from A to B without issues, take the train! If you want an adventure, drive an old car :)

Love the '66 F100! We have one that was my grandpa's and it runs like a top. My son was driving it to school for the last week of his senior year and had a pair of geese take out the windshield and a side window. Can't wait to get glass back in it to cruise around and road farm this summer!

[@davieboy1970]

I’m pretty sure you might want to question the boy again.. and all my life I have never heard of geese, flying into a windshield, or even taken out a side window ? I don’t think he’s quite telling you the whole story.

[@TheStratford6]

It was hard for me to believe too! He took pictures of the two geese that he hit and a neighbor couple stopped to help clear the glass off the seat since I was at work already. We just picked up a donor cab with a good windshield in it to swap in so we will have it ready for cruising again soon!

I know it’s a sensitive issue but I’d love to know even a ballpark figure for an old truck like this. Would absolute love one back in the uk but only ever see beautifully restored mega expensive examples this side of the pond.

[@tylersayles7684]

This put a big smile on my face! I've been waiting for you to do a video on one of these '60s Fords, Derek! I have a factory 1965 F-250 4x4 with the original 352 that I've owned for the past 6 years. Hope that F-100 is good to you. Keep on, keepin on!

[@davidfarmer1666]

The 352 was a great Ford engine but you don't hear a lot of talk about them. They didn't tend to be one of the Ford engines that had vapor locking problems. Good strong engine.

My Dad had the same '66 Ford F-100 with a straight 6 and "3 on the tree". I was born in '66 and learn to drive in that truck around the backroads of southern Georgia in '77 or '78. Very cool having 66 Ford and Chevy.

[@kenweiss8565]

This reminds me of some of the rally’s I had as a kid. I was so focused on breakdowns I failed to enjoy the ride and scenery. We always made it through, but we didn’t know that then. Money was always an issue. What’s great about these videos is that you will be able to see them when your old and broken like I am now. I know I sure enjoy them! Thank You!.

[@pootmahgoots8482]

Man that old Ford is sweet. Definitely loved on mechanically. Would be a cool truck to do the similar treatment Longmire has.

Right! Us Ford guys need some content lol would love to see it get EFI or maybe even a budget rebuild! hope he keeps this one
