[@newtonfirefly3584]

@Steph Cooper; Agree with Your assessment for many of the young folks these days in school, that need such a fellow to give them a spark, infusion, 'thunder n lightnin', positive jokes and such in the 'shop'. My shop teachers were excellent during our time and taught us excellent basics, ideas, principles, including requirements of safety, proper use of tools, etc. Your comment about 'tetanus shot' update is a common concern for some, but as the correct information and knowledge becomes known, another part of the falsehood inDOCtrination and propaganda We all have been given, 'fed', forced or otherwise, then leads to improper digestion and indigestion. In any case, the tools and situations Derek is working with don't result in such issues anyway. Thus it is best to stay away from the Allopathy/Pharmaceutical synthetic medications and more so their false 'vaccinations' [they have no actual proof of benefits, but they do have massive evidence of harm]. Hopefully Jessica and Derek have been following the proper path of avoiding all Pharm. 'vaccine' serums and follow good, proper nutrition. The Globalist/Elite Cabal Rockefeller Allopathy/Pharmaceutical philosophy medical system purposely lack proper information, knowledge about proper, good nutrition and has significant false, incorrect, distorted, misleading information, misinformation, disinformation about nutrition and health, within their other falsehood, pretense, etc., indDOCtrination and propaganda, so the masses of people will actually have more ailments, illness, sickness, disease, etc. as the proof since they became and gained control as the primary medical system 100-120 years ago. Just within one generation heart and cardiovascular disease became significant and listed as the number one 'cause of death', which was rarely in existence prior. Then cancer, which is a failure of the human immune system, quickly became a significant and rose to be listed as number two, and more recently very close to behind number one. With more and more Pharmaceutical 'vaccine' serum injections in the schedule, the significant rise of allergies, food sensitivities, and other imbalance has occurred within last generation, nearly two. Natural human immunity and the immune system are essential within the human body function and system. The Rockefeller Allopathy/Pharm. medical system has led humans toward poor human health, and extensive medical issues, that they claim to have synthetic medications to handle ; usually via long term, and for the remaining portion of life, with increasing number of medications. Which old people do You know that live without a significant regiment of Pharmaceutical medications, until death ? My mother, age 90, nearly 91 [within 5-6 weeks] has a regiment of at least 6 daily medications, and many yearly procedures, which some of the younger physicians, that have become more recently involved, often see some results from which they want my mother to go for more extensive procedures, though the actual reality is the situation has not changed from the previous measured results, and have been monitored for many years. When she manages to contact a previous, more experienced physician, that also is familiar with her situation, the response each time, that the situation is stable and the results are the same as previous, thus fine, and no further procedure is necessary. Each year the physicians have convinced my mother to accept the yearly 'flu' shot, though We speak about it each year, including reminding about the illness she has each year, usually at the beginning of the winter months [within the next month] and the poor, incorrect, improper treatment she has gotten, resultant imbalance of her system getting worse again, then my efforts help to get her system more balanced again with Homeopathy, and still more with proper nutrition, which she has fallen further away from [though my mother sent me the original book from Nathan Pritikin back in 1984, and significantly changed, improved my base of information, knowledge, view, perspective, perception about food and nutrition which became my solid basis and use since. She did purchase and attain the book again, but for some reason resists, finding some excuse when asked if or when did she read some of it, then giving a reminder to just read a few pages each day or so, perhaps while eating. Am not residing in the same country or area of the world as my mother, for nearly 29 years, thus am limited to access by telephone and she still lacks the arranged data plans though somewhat recently has the device equipment for us to have a live video communication. She also needs someone to sit and provide proper guidance, practice, use of the device she has. A computer would be much better and easier to use too. Each generation of physicians are more aggressive, quicker to be more involved especially with more intervention. This is the way they are taught, developed and established to behave. This is the intent, purpose, direction, dictation, and control arranged, established, infused, and placed into the system thus upon the population and has been increasing through the decades via direction, dictation and control of the Elite Cabal within their use of this system achieve their Agenda. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being. Sincerely

You’re finding a snap on wrench reminds me of my happiness when it happened to me. I owned an MGB convertible and one night when I was having too much Fun I blew through a T intersection in the country and found myself at the bottom of a very wide and very grassy culvert. I tried driving back up but couldn’t make it through the damp grass. So I tried to run out it at an angle and got up a good amount of speed before hitting a berm that had been built across the culvert. I didn’t see this coming and was almost over and going down the other side before I managed to turn and got back on the road. The next morning well afternoon, I went out to try to pull some of the grass from the undercarriage. And in the back of the front under bumper spoiler I found a quarter inch snap on socket wrench with an extension, a U joint, and a spark plug socket. How it had managed to stay there in the months since I’d bought the car and survived my wild ride into the culvert, I don’t know. Not bad.

[@normanhopfensperger4343]

It was in the plastic green box. 🤑🤗 Nice present and a tilt steering column, the color I needed too! The column was 25.00. Back in 1983. Oh, the time has passed.

‘70 was the first year with a “pop up” hood. 68-69 had the slanted hood. That’s one of the most fun and easiest pickups to hod rod. I love the long box.

Looks like this Chevy has earned its emblem! Great job Derek, always a blast watching you bring these rigs back to life.

Thank you Rany

One million. I remember when I first started watching and you had 40,000 subscribers thinking this guy is the best kept secret on KZbin.

[@oarkbronn1291]

I know about it, so not much of a secret now!😆

[@release86]

I would love to see you put some floors in it and make it a going to town rig. A truck like this in Canada would sell for WAY too much (perfect)

[@karabinjr]

You're helping some people trough some tough times, sir. Also, you make a lot for your country by showing the world what a cool american dad is like ;)

Derek you son of a gun, just when a guy thought it couldn't get any better, this man comes out with this, great content!

Best thing about the 66-72 model chevy pick ups is; you can literally buy every single part (- cab and frame)... Brand... Spanking... New. It might be one of the few vehicles you can re-manufacture yourself! And it will be NEW.

[@metvelle]

[@MarkStebbins-xx7ee]

My dad before he passed, owned a 1967, GMC, C 10, 3on the tree, Inline 6, Green. When I see Dereks 69 Chevy, it brings back memories of my dads truck

[@freedomdesign4688]

Just have to look at the bright side: If it rolls -- it can be made to roll faster. If it is leaking oil and fluids -- it HAS oil and fluids in it. If you have to pull it onto a trailer -- it still has metal parts that are strong enough to take the strain of pulling.

[@trashbandit2449]

If it has a rusty frame, that means the frame is still there

[@lukepurifoy3933]

Man I always love to hear when you talk about your dad! I had what I think was the greatest dad in the world that I lost when I was 18 years old and he always like to fix anything so when I hear about your dad it reminds me of mine. Sounds like he was a good guy?

[@HBJFishing]

Been waiting for days for this. Love it!!!! Again, Congrats on the 1Mil. No one deserves it more than you and your family. I’d absolutely buy this truck.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thank you very much

I am 18 and working on a 1951 international R120 with a stuck 220 silver diamond inline 6 cylinder, and it was in a scrap yard for 40 years, it was a Missouri truck it has soiled body to it and this was helpful to me, i have put diesel in it and it go's down overnight so the rings aren't stuck could be the vave train , this video was helpful thanks Derek keep up these great videos man. Thanks again for what you do.

[@skip-a-doo]

when it started ",i knew it all the time ya know" i bet you did,i am a ford man but i give to the chevy, they just are simpler and reliable. your shows are great as always and as everyone has said. Their is a connection to something in their own past that can be seen in your videos. You manage to entertain,inform and bring family values to us all. thank you

[@notyou6950]

You're an inspiration to anybody who has an old pos in their possession in the backyard and needs a little nudge to get them off their ass to start working on their project. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

The Rough Greensnake, also known as the “vine snake,” occurs across the state except for upper northeastern Tennessee. Only one subspecies, Northern Rough Greensnake (O. a. aestivus), is found in Tennessee. Description: A slender, moderately long snake (22.0 to 32.0 inches in length), which is light green and has keeled scales. Belly is white, yellow, or pale greenish. Males have longer tails than females. Young are a grayish-green color. Similar Species: None. Habitat: Occurs in dense vegetation, especially along the edges of streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes; often found on overhanging limbs. They can also be found along river bluffs, on forested hillsides, and in shrub and forest-edge habitat. Diet: Consumes mainly spiders, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and dragonflies. Breeding information: Adults mate in spring and fall. Females select a nest site under rocks, leaves, rotting logs, or bark to lay 3-10 white, elongated eggs during the summer. Eggs hatch out in late summer after incubating for 36-43 days. Females may use the same nest cavity year after year, and sometimes multiple females may use a nest at the same time. Status in Tennessee: A fairly common snake, but can be difficult to see. Not protected. Fun Facts: This very arboreal, camouflaged snake is an excellent climber and becomes almost invisible in dense, green shrubs and vines. Rough Greensnakes turn blue when they are dead. Best places to see in Tennessee: On branches overhanging edges of lakes or streams.

Love to see old rigs rescued from the bone yard, especially an old classic Chevy truck. Nice old truck for a high school kid to learn on. Great job getting it going again.

[@davelowets]

Yep. I feel sorry for the high-school gearhead of today. The stuff they get to work on, and play around with, isn't NEARLY as cool as the stuff us older folks got to play with when we were that age. When I was in his school, 60's and 70's cars were plentiful, and could be had for $500 for a good enough running project to get you back and forth to school and work. I remember passing up on a BEAUTIFUL, all original, 1971 big- block, 4-speed 'Cuda for $2000. Just imagine what an all original, mint shape, car like that would cost today. 😳 I kick myself still today for letting that one go.

[@1snoopy011]

Great job, it is always great to get another classic back running. Your patience and underlying expertise is always amazing. Keep em coming!

Hi Derek, good to see you back on a revival! Hope you and the family had a nice Thanksgiving

[@RobertFay]

*- YES, YES, YES: impressive revival, too.*

[@TheeIllustreous]

I love this guy!! Lean and laugh the whole time! He needs a tv show! The world needs more people like him!! Thank you for all the videos brutha!!

[@tbelding]

I'm impressed you got it to run that well in just two days. Mind you, when you started rolling around the field, I thought it was going to fall apart, from all the creaking and groaning. Whoever gets that as a project vehicle will have to do a LOT of metal replacement. Unfortunately, most of the old road signs nowadays are aluminum, not steel.

[@normanhopfensperger4343]

Check it out, some more updates with HEI, lame 2 spd transmissions are not dying, they're still used for some dirt track racing 😉

[@ViceGripGarage]

Should be a good starting foundation for someone

[@Iamthathillbilly]

Its totally doable. I'd take it on without fear if I wanted a 69 chevy c10.

[@tbelding]

@@Iamthathillbilly - You must have a stock of the -good- old road signs, to replace that metal. You know, the ones with the pellet holes in them. :) The new ones are often aluminum.

[@Iamthathillbilly]

@@tbelding my dad used To. I had the entire bed off of a parts truck to cut up for sheet metal 😆

[@Moparpoor]

Love the episode, can’t believe how well it runs. Enjoy the little guy hanging out helping, like how he brings s as snake by to show you.

[@chcivic]

That's a rough green snake. They might be the best snake for a pet. There's videos from all over the world from people who keep them as pets on KZbin

[@davelowets]

@@chcivic My Grandparents own 400 acres of wilderness about 50 miles away from the city I live in. 40 years ago, as a kid, I would find Green snakes and Garder snakes all over the place on the property during my adventures, and even kept a few as pets. As the years have passed, I have noticed there were less and less snakes, salamanders, and other various reptiles around. I haven't seen a snake in the last 10 years out there, they seem to have disappeared. With the amount of wildlife vanishing these days, If I did find a wild snake, I would leave it alone and certainly not try to keep it as a pet. We need as many as we can out in the wild to keep reproducing. It's sad to see how many species of animals have all but disappeared just in my lifetime so far.

[@chcivic]

@@davelowets I agree. I wasn't suggesting anyone take a wild animal as a pet, only what the temperament of this species is, they are completely harmless. And yes I used catch salamanders when I was young. All you find now are ants

[@davelowets]

@@chcivic 😆 Ants are about it... 🍻

I love when the boys are helping out. I have a real soft spot for Bentley, he's so innocent!!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Brut 33 to be specific. Also since the tag has the letters DNF on it you should consider calling it "Did Not Finish". Great rescue. Nice to see the boy helping out. Ya'll be careful.

I am in the process of frame off restoring my 1968 c10 swb, this video is great!

[@magnoliafishing9763]

You inspired me to go out and challenge myself with a 94 GMC Sierra that been sitting under some trees for 10 years. Paid $500 for it, just so happen to have a cracked block. So I rebuilt my first 350 4-bolt main and slapped it in there and she purrs like a kitten. Thanks for showing me how to set the valves by the way! That video definitely benefited me in the rebuild process! Wish I could meet you to shake your hand man! Keep it up! Much love from south Louisiana!

[@robertgregory6315]

You just can't give up on a vehicle that others say are a junk. Thanks for being determined to see them run.

[@unit4242]

Yes! A locked up engine! Perfect 👌🏻

[@nowherefastgarage]

I like this truck. I was really impressed how you got it to come around and run again, and it runs great! I would keep it looking the same, just fix the doors, patch the floors, make it stop and it would make a good shop truck.

[@frankgessner]

I love these "locked up" revivals and I'm disappointed you didn't put the cap back on the new fuel tank. Keep em coming.

[@StuReedy]

From what I could see of the engine and the sound, I'd guess it's a 307. I had a Nova with a 307 back in high school. Of course, it was a 4-door with the lame 2-speed automatic. Anyway, great work; good video! Thanks!

[@timgorsulowsky1106]

Derek, I love old cars too! and enjoy all of your family humor while teaching the master of the trade.... It's awesome how you do not use foul language like the others who provide these repair shows. You do an outstanding job...

Man. That brings back some awesome memories. I had one of those things, same "patina" (expensive rust) about a thousand years ago (and it was old then). Step side, short bed, 6-banger, 3 onna tree, only things in it were a heater and an AM radio. Loved that thing. Wish the heck I still had it. About that same color, too. We called it "Basil". Back when I was married, my wife gave it to her sister who lived in Murray Kentucky. Needless to say, I'm not married now. (she also sold my 47 Willys 4WD Jeep one week I was out of town too ).

[@ronniekeener3802]

I'm impressed. Makes me want go rescue something considering you started from a locked up engine . Good job dude. Keep doing your thing brother!

Thanks to the info in this video I was able to get a 1972 Ford 360 unstuck. I made my own concoction and it went from a quarter turn to a full rotation. Thanks Derek!!

[@THEreiska]

What a great episode. Loved it! Especially the part where one of the boys just randomly brings out a snake :D And how sweet is that truck, man! I don't know if I'd like to see it stay with you and get done as a roadworthy driver or just make it somewhat safe and let someone else do the rest. Anyways, I'd like to see at least a bit more of it. Conqrats on the 1 mil!

[@eddydmesa]

You are amazing! I have a 62 Bel-Air with a 283 that has been sitting for about 10 years. You make me feel I might have a chance to get her running. I love your style and I love watching all your videos to the end. Thank you! I am a new fan of your channel!

[@davelowets]

If it ran 10 years ago, and was parked under cover, I would think you wouldn't have too much of a problem getting it running today. Go for it, and good luck with it! 🍻

[@gdholmfirth]

Have you tried yet?

[@jerrycraig6522]

I had a 62 also, I loved that car, rode and drove like a go cart, EXELLENT cars, then I got a 63 SS I feel like I need to get a 61, my personal favorite!!!

[@pjrazvoza4343]

Man I just love watching you resurrect these old pieces of iron, bringing them back around! Great video Derek

[@TemptationsEnd]

God I'm addicted to your ability to revive old beasts through a sheer use of force and massive patience compared to other mechanics to get the old girl running, I bet you could have even somehow revived my PT cruiser that was almost a catastrophic runaway though I'm sure due to the power of fusion wouldn't turn over without a new engine, or maybe hit it with a nuke that somehow only unscrambles the pistion to the engine fusion. Keep up the good work my friend! I love seeing the forgotten old girls being given a second, even if short life.
