As someone who was raised by a single mom let me say this. The mere fact of having a father is huge. But having one like you is as good as it gets brother. Your kids are lucky to have you and will make this world better than it was when they arrived!!

This was such an enjoyable time and makes me happy to see this wonderful family work and play together. The leaf blower that Bentley made is priceless. The smile on his face just made me smile as well. That is a treasure and a testament to your relationship...good job Dad! Thanks for all you do for us.

yes..derek needs to put the leaf blower up and give it back to bently when he is older, it will bring back so many memories for bently.

Thank you for turning my Friday night into a happy one every time. Especially on Memorial weekend. It's always a tough weekend for me because I'm a combat vet. You're on my mind when I wake up Friday morning. ❤

[@Zalagar619]

So glad you posted this full video. You could have easily turned this into a two or three part video, but you didn't. Gotta admit when you finished the first night, I was a little bummed, but a guy moved his mouse and saw I was only 1/3rd through the video and got excited again! 😅 Great video as always. Thanks for doing what you do and putting out these videos to entertain us. Can't wait to see this rig as it continues to progress :)

[@balcorn9211]

I love seeing someone put money and time into a straight 6 rather than just swapping it out. These are phenomenal engines that deserve the same love as V8's!

[@steveneckard3649]

I agree! a well taken care of straight 6 cylinder engine is a strong engine. A warmed over, built up one is even a better one. But simple design makes for dependability.

[@skipnick]

just did a 250 rebuild for a 69 ! love the motor

[@Sirbacon98]

We absolutely LOVE them here in Brazil! They're reliable and cheap to mainain. Plus, hella easy to tune-up. Search for Chevrolet Opala here on KZbin and you'll see a few of those making anything from 300whp to 2,500whp, insane engine. My Opala in the picture runs a 4 ciliner version of that engine. Just as reliable.

[@SuperHamsterGaming]

I'd take one over an LS

[@stanleyone5222]

I drove a 1969 in 1970, 6 with the single barrel carb, which I tried to open up - lol Good one here: drove it all summer to move house furniture to new location, well never thought to check the oil and it ran out and the engine stops, two guys pull up and bail me out with some oil. It ran fine for years after that.

[@petebrown5243]

Gotta love the stand alone efi, one of the best things I've done to my car. Did find that dialing back the prime shot made it start easier.

[@georgemartin1436]

That double-sided sticky tape is awesome. I souped up a 76 Chevette with it by attaching my PC Whitney hood scoop with it.

[@terrallputnam7979]

I knew the gas axe was eventually going to come into play. Derek, you have encouraged a lot of us armchair mechanics to get off our brains and start wrenching on our cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, motorcycles, and even planes in my case. Last week I changed out Ball Joints, Tie Rod ends, brakes, oil, and charged my AC on my 2007 Yukon XL. My alignment shop even said I did such a good job on my installs that they wondered if I needed a side job. I am too old for that, but glad I can still get things done for myself. If you are concerned about those bed braces losing strength, use the center pieces to brace the corner between the bedside and the bottom of the frame rail.

[@ericmullis4866]

Your amazing! Great guy. You have such a great attitude, and most respectfuly your patience is outstanding!❤ I love watching you revive, and the comedy that comes with it. Also. Love watching Bentley get out there w/ you! What a beautiful family. The wifey is going to love the progress!😊

Thank you!!

I can't wait to see part II. This video was great as per usual.

[@billyhellmaker]

Installing a Boyd tank on my 66 was the best money I have spent. I have a 6.0 LS that was running off the original in bed tank and a fuel pump. The tank had venting issues, and gas smell issues (the original building had a rubber return hose (bad). The Boyd with in tank pump has solved all my problems and been great.

[@TheHangarmenBand]

Does my heart good. I am restoring my 66 gmc stepside I got when I was 16. I don't have the straight 6 anymore. '67 327 now. But I love hearing the six sound again. Thanks for the update. Been waiting for the latest chapter. rock on.

[@royaltutranch]

We need a couple good ol’ “Well help me understand!” classics. Best line ever. Blessings to you and yours Derek. Thanks for the vidya.

[@mikecsokuly3122]

Sadly I have seen every single episode in order as they have come out since the third episode. And I only say sadly because it wasn’t from day 1! I had to go back and see the first two and watch them out of order drives me crazy. And I have no idea why I enjoy this so much. Just watching some cray guy making stuff with a chain saw. Love it!! Keep it up.

[@mikecsokuly3122]

Crap didn’t see that your vid popped up after last show. But I’ve been with yours for years as well and i also love watching you fix up old rigs and getting the back on the road again

[@banecker1]

Derek, have you seen ThunderHead289’s carb cheater? Might be cool for some of your older rigs that you want to increase your relia/drive ability. With out switching to efi. But it’s awesome to see your experience and gain from your knowledge.😊

A 292 With a worked 250 head runs mighty good.Back in the day.That's what they would run at a 5/8 mile dirt track near me.Those cars were hauling the mail.The ford's ran a 300 with ford's 250 head.I always enjoyed that class over late model

[@adamskinner5868]

That straight six is the same as was in lots of the old Holdens here in NZ as I grew up (old, cheap, and plentiful, not worth a lot after a long life). I remember how easy n reliable they were, really hard to kill, really easy to start or get running. I was surprised when you said you were changing it because it was a pig to start. I'm guessing it's because it isn't stock. It kind of reminds me why I think stock is best. Then again, some folks really enjoy trying stuff out making improvements, including sorting out all the little prob's involved. I think it's pretty clear you are one of those folks, me, I was just grateful that my car still worked after I'd modified anything, and it wasn't always an improvement. Stock is easiest but not always best, but to me there's a real benefit to being easy. I've really enjoyed watching you sort stuff out n go on your adventures over the years so also wanted to say cheers for that.

[@alteredexistence4115]

Don't forget to fix that front suspension!! Absolutely love your videos, I find myself laughing quite often as well. Great to see humor in with informative content!

Stubby ratchet wrenches are a life changer. And I’m not kidding you

[@Kunfucious577]

It’s amazing how much you can learn about cars from just watching videos of one man working on cars.

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

A lot of older guys who don't know, well they just don't know. EFI is a FABULOUS thing, you can tune it with a laptop and a little bit of know how (it's just as difficult as learning to use a vacuum gauge and all the screws and setting your t's to a square and all that) it's BETTER to run fuel injection. It literally takes ALL of the guesswork out of fueling your machine. Seriously guys, take a minute and just LEARN EFI!! It's WONDERFUL!

[@FinalFinishDetail]

So a feller missed this episode on Friday due to being away with family but watched it the minute i could, that being said, i installed this kit with a hyperspark ignition and so far love it. Cant make it to HRPT, this year but maybe 2024. Hope to see you and your great family to say hi and not to mention meet all you other VGG FAMILY MEMBERS. Cheers everyone remember our fallen members of the armed forces this memorial day, and thank every veteran you see and know. Its the least we all can do. Thank you Bieri family so much!.

[@ryanorlacchio9679]

Hey, I owned a body shop for 30yrs. For 23 yrs I said someone needs to make a zinc spray like the dip the big 3 uses. Then for the first time in my restoration shop I used the POR system. After reading proper use of it... realized the metal ready is a zinc converter prep for the epoxy coating. So, put the blue stuff in a spray bottle after soap and watering longmire after dry. And your done. Cheap out and rattle can or put POR epoxy with hardner. Former Ryan Roberts, Joey Auto body, Showtime Hotrod and Restoration Inc. Last I should have trademarked 10 showed up later. I repeatedly said I do show cars, hotrods, and restorations not cars like yours. So a friend said why dont you call your shop that... you say it every time anyway. I did, by the way used a many Vice grips... even forgot a few still holding in shifter linkages and such. Glad there's crazies such as myself driving those home, thanks Ryan O.

Derik, to resolve the potential bed sag.... Weld some square tube vertically between the frame to the floating bet frame braces. Just a suggestion so when you load luggage or other items in the bed, you don't break those small welds on any rough roads. Love how the truck looks and is evolving to a regular daily for Jessica.
