My dad had a 1971 Dodge pickup. You reminded me of a funny story. My daughter's cat had a litter of kittens. They were playing in the cab. One of them crawled into the drain at the back of the seat. The poor little thing's tail was the only thing sticking out. We pulled on it's tail but it only popped like when you pull your finger. So I poured vegetable oil down the hole so it would be slippery and the kitten would slide right on out. Didn't work! We were desparate and drove to the local volunteer fire department where they were holding a turkey shoot. A nice young man tried to help us. We pulled the truck into the bay and he crawled up under the door. There is a flange that's spot welded under there. So he got a tool that could fit between the pieces of metal to pry it apart. When he got it spread, the little kitten flew out like a shot cat and went into the meeting room/kitchen. It looked like a punk rock, spiky-haired kitten from the vegetable oil. It took nearly 30 minutes to catch the little creature but we prevailed and took him home. I gave the guy a $10 tip for his help. That was a lot considering this was in the 1980's. What a wonderful memory. That is what watching your videos reminds me of. Thanks Derek.

[@RobertSmith-km6gi]

I had 5 slant 6 vehicles, mostly in my first 2 decades of driving. They are literally indestructible. Driving my 64 Dodge Dart through the Mojave Desert once and this loud horn sound emanated from the engine compartment. Popped the hood and steam was coming out of the overflow so strong that it was shooting out several feet. Naturally it was well over 100 degrees out and I had to just sit and wait with no shade. There was a canal visible in the desert that looked close but probably wasn’t. While contemplating a death defying walk a VW bus pulled up full of hippie types, who were more than happy to supply me with water and an escort to the nearest town. After changing out the bad water pump and filling up I was back on my way to Phoenix none the worse for the experience and the Dart running like nothing had happened. I eventually got sick of Phoenix and drove the Dart back to my parents house in RI, still running perfectly.

[@dillonweigel3101]

I’ve got a 63 dart and though the slant six had major overheating issues it never let me down. Had a few hiccups on account of not being able to find a parts store that stocked the proper carb kit and sometimes the 60 year old wiring just decided to take naps, but they’re great little engines. Everybody asks me if I’m putting a small block in it when it goes back together but having daily driven that slant with better fuel economy than any fuel injected car I’ve owned, I just can’t bring myself to do away with it. Once drive it six hours at 300+ degrees and it never once even hiccuped. I stopped using coolant in it on account of the constant overheating issues, and it froze on me one frosty October day. Got so hot that I pulled into work with rods knocking and some terrible banging and clanging. Let it cool down, and it started right up and drove onto the trailer the next day. A few weeks later it ran just as good to drive off the trailer. Can’t imagine getting rid of such a tough platform for anything else. As it turned out rust had clogged the coolant journals going into the head, despite my attempts at getting rid of the rust. Long live the I6

9 day old video, just shy of 2 million subscribers, but only 55k likes? We need to do better for this channel. It's amazingly great stuff, by far my favorite channel.

[@codylawler2498]

Derek is the best part of my Friday, busting ass at the tire shop all day, and come home and he reminds me to wrench every day on my stuff, because if you don’t do it no one will.

[@OldJeepGarage]

What project are you wrenching on? I'm working painting my 68 Wagoneer.

[@maynard-1776]

Sitting on the front porch getting pelted in the teeth by vertical rain watching vgg. Can a guys Friday get any better than this?... NOPE!

[@terrencegiordan9812]

Yes cold beer to wet the neck

[@DrewMcLawhorn-cz8rd]

I could use some rain here in eastern nc it's hot and dry feels like Arizona😂😂

[@Phillip-ry8ke]

For the vinyl try using a Magic eraser. A guy did that with his wife's car and was able to get a LOT of dirt out of vinyl.

[@nobodyspecial-d5j]

another friday at work, and vgg comes through once again, thanks to the vgg family for all the sacrifices for our enjoyment

[@swensdawg]

YESSSSS, Time for VGG Friday!!!!

[@joanneachildoftheking4199]

We had that same truck in red. Brought back so many memories. It was a great truck and it’s amazing to see one driving down the road so many decades later. Thanks for the trip!

[@joseramos7476]

she cleaned up nice.

[@michaelcunningham2808]

As soon as you started talking about the poor condition of the paint on this truck I thought, "He's gonna break out the shine juice." Shows just how much I watch your videos!

[@johnritcher5751]

A new VGG video is always worth my time!! Thanks Derek. And I will watch no matter if you are 7.658 inches from home, or 932.4567 miles from home. The way I see it, when you feel like another 700 mile trip with no brakes and 20 dollar wal mart tires from 1992, youll do so. No complaints here about any video you do. I wonder what Tanya Tucker is doing?

[@gregoryclenny6271]

My O.C.D. was screaming through this whole episode. "THE HEADLIGHT BEZELS DON'T MATCH!!!!

[@bmh67wa]

It adds character.

[@numbnutz9398]

Dammit! Now I can't unsee that.

[@MarkJones-ix2lz]

Me too!

[@JeffKopis]

Take a valium, have a glass of milk, make a sandwich. 😂

[@MarkJones-ix2lz]

@@JeffKopis I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but it messes with my C.D.O. bad

[@GL8ZE]

It’s been raining out there in your neck of the woods I see. That greenery is greenering

[@markwhiteman5546]

I’m a fella who likes the super shine on a tyre! Loving this truck wish we more trucks like this in Australia

[@thomaschumley3904]

Vice Grip and Little Grip in the same day! We are gonna get spoiled!
