GMC K20 Cold Start Clean Up and Cookies! - Vice Grip Garage EP27

You call it a cookie or a donut? Comment and let me know? Anyhoo - I finally get enough time to dig back into this sweet 1969 GMC K20. It's been sitting ever since I brought her home from the farm. I can't get enough of this truck. 4 speed and 4 wheel drive, what's better honestly? We'll go ahead and put some shine on it, then of course I've got to test on it a little bit and see how she does in the city. Think it will actually do a cookie/donut?

Nah, TV would ruin it. KZbin he can do what he likes

The beauty of this era is that he HAS a tv show!! 😊👍👍

[@gailynbrock5204]

Wow, thought I had seen every VGG vidja there was, but NOPE!! Here's a gem that KZbins popped up today -- had never seen it.

[@chipcool6654]

Your channel is a mix of Roadkill and Red Green, showered in hill billy Mountain Dew .......... And I love it!

[@chickensfloat7427]

I like road kill but there trying too hard to be a tv show. Still a good show but not what they were 4 years ago

My dad has a 4" crescent wrench he's been carrying in his pocket for at least 40 years. It has come in handy many times.

3M Complaint Department Dear Mr Grip After investigating your complaint we have come to the assumption use of our products for major bodywork is totally fine . Failure was down to not using twice as much tape . As a standard always use twice as much tape . Major body mount applications may require a cold snack between layers to improve the look . Thank you for your continued custom and excessive use of our products . Lots of love . M3 application team .

[@waltergrimes8075]

Thats a good name for that pickup. Thank you for your service John and any other military people. Thank you as well.

[@joeltaylor2830]

This has to be one of the funniest VGG videos yet. The first second sets the general tone. That's always good to know, what you're in for . We always called them donuts. 'Poverty chrome' - genius. Nice threads too.

[@shannonwharton6086]

I love watchin you. My hubby and I just can't stop laughin, not only because your fricken hilarious but because all you do is so relatable to something we've all done.

[@GT380man]

Derek, you’re a natural showman! Just love what you so, silly or straightforward. Thank you 😎

[@PatrickBlurton]

"Poverty Chrome"... Yup, I'm stealing that one!

[@ghostrider.13]

That was good. Im looking at your comment as he said it. Lol

[@oliverwade8066]

I had a 68 GMC in the late 70's. When you couldn't get the door to latch closed, it brought back memories. Love your youtube channel.

[@johnmtaylor5878]

How do you only have 162k subscribers? Great stuff! Glad we aren’t neighbors or I am pretty sure I would be way too busy working on junk and drinking cold snacks to go to work. Really enjoy the episodes with Jessica, you really turn the hamming around right on up when a girls around a guy.

[@faithwalker7]

Always looking forward to the next video. You remind me of my dad, he loved working on the old stuff. Like you he could get anything to run. He laughed & had a fun time. I was legally blind but it was fun being around him while he worked on the vehicles of old. ❤️ It!

[@toddhkennedy]

"Big Bad John" is an awesome name. Thanks for your service John! This channel has inspired me. I just bought an '89 C1500 Cheyenne for $800, and looking forward to doing some customizing and testing on it. Keep up the good work!

[@ViceGripGarage]

awesome!! Good luck! Great trucks

[@romanquinn3258]

I say keep it and give it some tlc. I have a 1960 K20 Apache with the 235 that’s been redone. Love these trucks and people love them to. Every time I go driving in it I get a whole bunch of smiles, friendly horn honks and people waving! Nothing better than cruising around on a Sunday

[@roberthutter74]

I put your videos on when I'm asked to cover an automotive technology class, im normally a high school history teacher but my auto tekkies unanimously love your channel the best!

[@liquidbliss]

I can't get enough of your videos. I like them so much it has motivated me to get an old 79 F150 that has been rotting out in the trees at my dad's farm fixed up. I made a comment to my dad that the rusted out Bat Tree tray was Fak Tree. He shot me some side eye and made my day. How many cold snacks do you think it ought to take a guy and his 80 year old dad to get that truck back on the road after 12 or 20 years of sitting in the cedars?

I like that the right indicator light flashed during the burnout. That's fiiiine.

***** I think you should weld an old time winch and boom (which you can find in the back of old gas stations or in truck junkyards) in your floorless pick-up bed and turn it into a "NOT FOR HIRE" private tow truck. This way you can recover some real undrivable junk cars and not worry about how you're going to get it home! *****

From dead I use a CTEK MXS 5.0 - it's the only charger I could find that would charge from very low voltage. Most lead acid batteries bend their plates when they go that low, but some can be brought back. It's a conditioner too so you can leave it on and it'll keep your batteries in top condition.
