[@DDSpeedShop]

Bitchin video dude

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thanks man!!

[@feminazislayer]

Don't let it go. He's so happy up there 😊

[@Richard-r8z9q]

Not good opening up or taking truck out of the bubble while it’s raining sir. The moisture is going to rust out that beautiful truck. Common sense sir.

[@Pooleo55F100]

Wow! By putting the fire back in that truck you rekindled your wife’s memories of great times she had with her dad at the shows. Gold stars await you in heaven.

[@def1791]

I have an old 1970 ford f100 that my dad bought new and he gave me at 16 yrs old. My adult daughter has laid claim to it and wants it for her own when I’m gone from this planet. I took her out to learn to drive it two summers ago and she did very very good driving it , it’s also a three on the tree no power steering no power brakes. I love seeing the kids take interest in ole dad’s things. Great job making these memories and the legend lives on.

[@Bobthebuilder.69]

This was a really cool video! My mom passed away about 6 months ago and I just now got around to cranking her 68 Camaro SS yesterday since she passed. It was nice to hear the old 427 come to life.

[@kmnremtp]

Mannnnn, that first time Lauren said “thank you” in the video was deeeep! You did a great thing for ya wife bro! For sure! Strong work!

[@ElGuaposTruckFarm]

This one put a smile on my face! If one day my daughter gets that emotional remembering me, I'll have done my job!

[@michaelmyers3892]

That was absolutely honorable honoring her father that way by bringing his pride and joy back out on the road and taking it to a car show that he loved, you know pops is smiling down from heaven saying that's my girl

[@inquisitivemind2465]

Her dad will be smiling down seeing her take it back to the show . ❤😢😊

[@bzamski17]

That’s awesome enjoy your dad’s truck believe me he’s loving you driving it that’s what there meant for

[@nataliecopeland5257]

It was beautiful! So glad she was able to drive it and enjoy it!

[@joelmurphy7980]

Your Dad would be tickled to see this. I spotted the identical twin of my wife's Dakota at 51:36, she passed away from cancer in 2017. I don't think non car people can ever fully understand the connection we have with our vehicles.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Sorry to hear about your wife and I think you're right. Non car people will never understand.

[@BarryHeaps-p8o]

Do you really know what your doing

[@gilbertahsam643]

I am happy that you are holding on to your dad's truck. He is watching from heaven and smiling down at you.

[@ProudPapaw88]

What a nice thing to do for your wife young man. I sorta got a little teary eyed myself a couple times. We need to get more subscribers on this channel. Quality video and editing with the right content and you definitely have the voice for it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thank you for the kind words! It's much appreciated

[@todbnla]

Norm was a cool dude for sure. I'm a 62 yr old hotrodder and from the time she got to the track I had tears rolling down my cheeks 😢 Very cool and fwiw Shania still rock's, we saw her in concert earlier this year.😁 I hope your wife keeps that truck👌

[@mikeclassing5263]

Im not really a car guy but I did have a 53 Ford truck and your dad had great taste cause that truck is perfectly done , and you had this this old guy reaching for this tissue box so glad you got it back out and to his favorite show thats awesome .

[@ADAMH924]

He's looking down on you both, smiling, and proud. Congrats to you both.

[@mromatic17]

bless your wife's heart for keeping this beautiful classic in such great condition. You can tell she loves her father just by how she responds when she first opens the door!

[@dantheman8781]

My dad had a 56 Ford Truck that he redone. The paint color he chose was called Competition Orange. I will never forget the chrome exhaust pipes that came through the box behind the cab.

[@dennisbenoit4937]

Great job. I hope it stays in the family for many years. My father passed 3 years ago and he left me his 1956 Chevy Belair and I go to as many shows as I can Keeping the memories alive

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Sorry to hear about your father’s passing. I’m glad you got his bel air and are keeping his memory alive!!

[@vicswanby454]

What a cool thing to do for your wife and her family I'm sure her mom is extremely happy that it's in the right place now and honoring the love and dedication that he put in to maintain his truck. I hope she gets many years of enjoyment out of it knowing that her dad is proud that she's taking care of it and enjoying something that he was proud of. Great video you have a family of car guys that are happy to see his grandkids getting to enjoy it too. When we get to fire up a car that was enjoyed by our loved ones that are not with us anymore I have always felt there presence and spirit on those drives. It's as if for a short while part of them gets to enjoy their wing's and spend time together with the ones they left behind. It's a happy time for a car enthusiast and a breef step from reality for the loved one! May she always bring a little peace of the good times to the for front of your mind. Enjoy your special time with this beautiful family heirloom!

[@danhuffman4455]

I have always felt "their" presence... and a "brief" step... May she always bring a little "piece" of the good times to the "fore front" of your mind. This is seriously embarrassing.

[@arnoldrodriguez3803]

Very touching video, Dad has got to have the biggest smile on his face up in heaven! ❤

[@matthewaustin6914]

Bro. This is awesome. What wonderful things to do for your wife and an amazing tribute to her dad.

[@garypacholek8070]

So cool honoring her dad like that, so happy for her.

[@funvic]

I'm sure her dad is smiling down on you guys. ❤

[@bradzimmerman3171]

funvic:her dad smiling down.? from where-when you are dead that's it that's all or the same as before your parents "got together ❤ "

[@leonardfoster6252]

He is still in the grave dead!

[@leonardfoster6252]

Ugly yellow engine...

[@DaveGlenzer-eu2qp]

So sorry to hear about Norm. I use to detail that truck for many years!!!! And his Harley. He loved them bubbles. Very cool to see this. I have many pictures of it. Lambert. NORM was a great guy

[@DaveGlenzer-eu2qp]

I also live in town with red 85c10

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Norm was a great guy. We sure do miss him. I’d love to see your c10 one day!

[@DaveGlenzer-eu2qp]

@@yeahbuddygarage in Matanzas woods. U will

[@oldstuffiscool]

Your wife is so thankful for bringing her Dad's truck back to life. Getting her to drive it at turkey run will be paying dividends for many years to come. Way to go Josh! I think you guys should call it the Fart 100.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

The boys would love that name!!

[@paullehman8183]

I love old Fords and this was an amazing video. That's awesome that she was able to drive her Dad's truck to the show.

[@jasononeill93]

I'm so happy for your wife. I lost my dad going on 3 years and watching this gave me a few good cries right along with her. Young lady enjoy making new memories with Pops truck with your boys. Make sure to take your Momma for a ride.

[@corydriver7634]

Cool truck, glad you were able to get it running and take it to the car show. Hard to believe there are people out there that don’t know ole haven’t seen a foot activated dimmer switch…got a chuckle out of that one.

[@JamesButch-wr8kp]

That's a real nice truck! I've been a Ford guy all my life. My first car was a 1950 two door, business coop, V8, flathead. I bought it from my uncle for $35.00 in 1960. I wish I still had it!!! I presently own a F-150 I bought brand new in 1989. It has116 thousand original miles on it. It looks real nice and runs great. One thing I would change about it is the white interior upholstery. Brown, tucked and pleated leather would look great in that truck. Take care of it and keep it in the family.

[@sshaw16684]

Such a beautiful tribute to Norm. Yall had me choked up a couple times. Enjoy the truck because thats what he would want!!🛻🤟

[@yeahbuddygarage]

We were choked up many times through this process. Now that it's back on the road we won't let it get to that point again!

[@alejandrollamas692]

Beautiful truck. My grandfather's 56 F100 has been sitting for 50 years and if I can get it from my uncle I would love to get it running.

[@fhgaylor]

Brings back memories. I’m just shy if 70 years old. When I was 15, I learned to drive in 1969 on my dad’s 56 Ford F100 6 cylinder 3 on the tree in Crownpoint, NM. Enjoy that old truck. I’d sure love to have one.

[@JerryGoad-y7c]

Mama looks tough looks good bad to the father would be so proud of her. I added her and family to my prayer list for the week God bless you all Rest in peace father-in-law Your pride and joy is taken her to the Turkey run and gonna bring her home for you

[@tfjack97]

Great job dude, that was a real nice gesture you have done for your mother inlaw and your wife, i can understand the emotions your wife had driving the truck down the rode. Congratulations on making your wife's dream come true, thanks for sharing. And the truck looked great setting there at the show.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thank you!!

[@jamiewalker1743]

The first time riding in the truck cursing the strip after turkey run car show and Uncle Norman and his colorful words to passing " prospects" lol

[@yeahbuddygarage]

🤣🤣

[@paulmurawski3683]

Great story. Yer Dad's smiling from above!!!

[@waynestocker1579]

Great great video. Happy for Lauren for getting to drive her Dad's 56 to turkey run. Reminds me of my F100 days and going to F100 supernationals in pigeon forge every year.

[@Goodoletom916]

Mr Norman was looking down smiling at y’all today, he was proud to be represented by 2 class acts!!

[@musclecarcamaroman9092]

Really neat story man! I've always said that the cars are cool, but its the memories you make with the people you do it with is what makes it special. The cars just serve as a tool to bring people together and create those memories. She did so good driving it too. Glad y'all were able to make it happen.

[@Means2anEnd6611]

What a fun, emotional, amazing love story! Thank you for taking us along!!❤

[@ScottRichardson-hh6pt]

Nicely done you guys and couldn't have been at a better time of year. Truck itself is super nice I'll bet it was a cool thing for Lauren, congrats

[@bobthomson3748]

great story well told, made this old guy cry and think about what is really important in life it is a people show as much as a car show

[@Killentimegarage]

Best one yet bud. Awesome job capturing the emotions of the project. So real and raw , it had me choked up. I’m sure we will see more of Pops 56 in years to come.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thanks! We do plan on brining this truck back on the channel. I'd like to do a tune up and polish for now and eventually rebuild the motor.

[@Bill-o6o]

That's when they made good trucks. And did you check the water level in the battery

[@laurence1643]

What a beautiful, beautiful truck, built the right way with the perfect engine and transmission for it !!!!

[@blackgtx]

Lauren it’s so cool that you fulfilled your dream and honored Norms memory. 👍

[@rstscott]

That’s one of the coolest youtube videos I’ve ever watched. I’m sure that truck will be one of your prized possessions.

[@paulmelhuish9213]

i dont think people realize the connection to memories and vehicles left behind. what a great story .

[@roybarnes388]

I. Remember my dad's beautuful 56 it was white with factory chrome bumper and grill..it was fun driving it..i was a teanager..

[@zachbalon5450]

[@Impalabelair]

Wow that's awesome story 👏 😀 🙌 😄 I loved it and very emotional too. Congrats on learning how to drive 3 on the tree 🌳 I didn't know how to drive them either 😅 till today. Great teacher, coach 👏 👍 great job team work. I have a similar story, lost my little brother 18 years ago. His dream was a 58 impala convertible. He never got to make his dream come true . But I thank God for blessing me to build his dream 🙏 come 🙏 true. I owned it an see it everyday and get emotional 😢. I DRIVE IT AS OFTEN AS I CAN . THANKS FOR SHARING KEEP DRIVING THAT TRUCK.

Special moments from past to present ...

[@malikdigger4544]

Such a awesome seeing ur wife father classic 56 F100 back on road again @ Yeah Buddy Garage such kool story knowing he luv to drag racing & restore trucks & motorcycles

[@alanosborne1947]

I've never watched your channel before but as I was scrolling for video's to watch I saw the title and 1956 F100 and had to watch. What an awesome thing to do for your wife and I'm sure she was overwhelmed with memories and emotion I know I was. I had a 1956 F100 with a 440 cu. in Mopar, torquefilte tranny and a 1970 Dodge Challenger rear end.. Everything else was stock right down to the stock I-Beam front axle and king pins.Anyway I really enjoyed your video and so happy for Loren she got to be with her dad one more time.

[@kennethaulibraten9009]

That was really an awesome movie. And your wife was really good to drive with a stick.

[@ericbriggeman4587]

This gave me so much emotion me and dad doing a full restoration on his 1956 ford F100 that he had since he was a teen but unfortunately he passed away of lung cancer before we could finish it but still continued to build it and it will be done by march this year so i know exactly how Lauren feels and thank you for this video hope you guys rekindle some great memories and make new one with that truck Norman would be proud P..S Lauren take your mom out for a ride in it .......

[@yeahbuddygarage]

So sorry to hear of your Fathers passing. I’d love to see that F100 on the road

[@chadmcleish]

Chevy and GMC both had their master cylinders under the floor. I had a 53 GMC. Adapted it to have remote reservoirs on the firewall.

[@skipsdarkhollowgarage8695]

Fantastic video, I had a 46 Chevy truck at Turkey run in 2015, when you drove it through the gate, wow, what a memory making moment right there.

[@emptypocketsgarage]

Josh this is amazing!!! ❤Pop truck back on the road. Great job!!! 👏🏾

[@pettyfog1463]

I'm 80.. Been there done that. Been yelling at you all the way through this...for wasting your time!! REPLACE EVERYTHING RUBBER AND ALL. BRAKE CYLINDERS. Then flush lines But all's well that ends well and you learned it for yourself. And it's the most beautiful pickup ever designed..hss never gone outbof style for car buffs. Good for you.

[@jimmarchman]

Great family video. Pure Americana.

[@rogernatale6953]

Great video I'm sure your Dad's watching down on you and smiling.❤

[@z-man6925]

Nice truck! Norm, I miss you buddy and I never even met you! I've got a 56 that I haven't even started on it yet, and I'm 65. I'll never make it! So cool to see your truck back on the road!!

[@dustybellamy5670]

Happy wife happy life great you got it going. Worst thing for old vehicles to just sit .

[@steveheiser7111]

Wow, that's a very cool story... it reminded me of when i finished my 1955 F-100 Ford truck build and also black in color. I, too, included my 2 sons in the build process, and we trailer it to Daytona Turkey Rod one that year. Boys are now mind twenty, but we still have the old Ford truck.....

[@kennyvelez8060]

Super cool video, first, Sorry for your loss , I'm sure y'all made Norm proud and maybe she'd a few tears him self, what a great way to honor him, Thank you for the video, R.I.P. Norman Walker "Norm"

[@anthonygarcia1866]

Very nice tribute! Beautiful truck as well, I've actually been looking for a good Ford step side to put a built 351 Cleveland in that my dad and I build before he passed a couple of years ago. We were always tinkering with cars and sharing ideas. Brings back a flood of memories watching this but I enjoyed all of it. Thanks for sharing the story.

[@BigD_etailing]

So glad you were able to get it back up for her!

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Wish you could have rolled in with us homie! There's always next year

[@Tarheelnative]

Awesome looking truck and what a great story behind it

[@garyhodges8173]

Great video ! Her Dad would be so proud 👍🏻👍🏻

[@CraigFine]

First time on the channel, great video and I really enjoy how humble you both are. It's difficult to find real people, and I really respect the effort you guys made getting pops truck back to the car show.

[@wadecole1796]

A good hot battery makes so much difference in cranking one. Spins better so in return the ignition does better

[@jkaps1173]

Exactly where that old truck is supposed to be 👍

[@thomasalexander8420]

Those are the best trucks ever

[@shaneh734]

Absolutely loved this! I gave a round of applause at 47:50 when you parked the car🤣❤️

[@t.l.robinson2162]

That is a very beautiful truck. I am very glad that it's garaged.

[@davidadkison4702]

Master cylinder is under the floor on drivers side . Lift up the floor mat and you’ll see a small cover to get to the cylinder.

[@KevinPene]

You 2 are too much made me cry I'm frm nz

[@carlchilvers6825]

Wow that's a lovely looking truck

[@Machinist_Life]

Good stuff right there. Nice job congrats to Lauren

[@BarredCoast0]

That old Ford is cherry! Nice one!

[@ronaldlowe6471]

This great! I learned to drive on a truck like this. It was my papaw's 56 Ford and dad ended up with it. Rattly valves, 3 on the tree and it felt like it had so much slack in the steering that I had to turn it l1/2 turn before it would ever catch! Great memories riding around in that truck! Love the channel.

[@patgamble3217]

I'm proud of your wife .the best video I have ever seen awesome 👌 👏 👍 luv you all .😢

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thank you!

[@aslamb6489]

I'm so happy for you Lauren I'm a new subscriber glad I watched this Video I know the feeling I lost my DAD 2 years earlier that you did I would have loved to been able to do this for my DAD too

[@mikelock625]

That was a great video and thumbs up to Lauren and you Josh. The license plate looked great

[@kylesaad5647]

Wonderful Story, Heart Warming for sure!!!

[@c10etc]

Awesome capturing this video! 😍 Super cool for your wife.

[@festerhairball6588]

1st time to your channel & I loved the episode!😊👍 Chevy's also had their master cylinders under the cab. 1960 is when it was moved to the firewall & the pedals were hung ( vs going through floor)

[@CutlassVibes]

Awesome that you guys did this! Great video...watching from Tx!

[@davidadkison4702]

You can take up the slack in the steering column at the bottom of the sector shaft under the hood in the engine bay.

[@jonlennon3348]

First off it is a solid lifter engine so ticky lifters is mechanical music. Are you sure it was in first. Go to neutral and pull straight towards you and down,second is up and forward in the neutral position to second and 3rd straight down.

[@frankwolf389]

Very nice! My brother lived in Palm Coast. Been to Daytona several times, nice area.

[@wayneyoung2586]

Congrats, you did it... "Good stuff," 👍 take care and keep pushing.

[@doyourbest7655]

Cool old trucks. 8 volts to the starter (6 volt system) no alternator uses dc generator . Starter not by relay but pushed a button below the gas pedal by the bell housing to start the motor. Kind of a problem b/c on occasion the driver would hit the starter by accident. Manual steering. Thank god they don’t make them like they used to. But what fun nostalgia. I had a 55 4400. That would be a one ton flat bead dual rear wheel. I recall, used a magneto for the ignition system. Scary if you got a flat on any kind of slope, the thing would roll when you changed a tire because the parking brake was a friction ring the drive line instead of the individual rear wheels. Sometimes a new driver would forget to release the parking brake and smoke from the asbestos ring would come up through the floor into the cab. You would carry extra water for the radiator because they didn’t ave a side surge tank for expansion and redraw back to the radiator. Bringing back lots of memories, about the people of the time too. Thanks for the video.

[@bryanglover3217]

😊 nice looking truck I have the same truck black lowered I bought mine at 13 years old in 83 me and my father restored it I drove at the high school at 16 years old and still own it today rebuilt it again In 96 put international scout 4x4 running gear in it motor trans t case an axels 33 12.50 15 on 10in aluminium wheels all under fenders my running boards are 25in of the ground looks great i got tired dragging the ground every were the running boards were 4 in off the ground looked cool .still black today drives like a scout but strait needs re sprayed i drive her about 4 times a year love it . The black knob under the dash in the center is Push It Forward that's the vent in the front of the cab in front of the windshield that was the AC . Here's a tip the wandering and the steering let a little air out of the passenger front tire to it pulls to the right a little bit then you hold the wheel to the left and it balances that wander out you got to adjust the pressure and you'll get the right curve those flat profile tires on a solid front axle follow the grooves in the road I think I ran 32 in the driver side front and somewers around 25 in the passenger side that way your steering wheel wasn't going left and right and left and right to keep it going straight you always knew it was going to the right a little bit so you just kept it a little bit left just made a little more predictable now that mine is four-wheel drive it's got the solid front axle in it I put twin steering socks on it and it solves all that wandering.

[@yeahbuddygarage]

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that shot since this one does pull to the right. Also I love that you've had the same truck since '83!

[@mikewhitley1183]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video, brought back a lot of good memories because I'm old school
