My first time watching you. I’m an old lady in my 60’s. 🙂😂 While seeing you with your son makes me think of all the youths these days going out carjacking vehicles, or stealing them from a driveway. After they do get them, it is nothing to them to wreck them, or drive the engine right out of them. It is evident they have never had a father figure around to teach them skills to make an honest living, morals, and about God. Most that have had a father, is in prison. It is sad just how far our country has changed (for the worst) in just a few decades. The wonderful part is your son has all of these special moments with you on film (ok, or ‘digital’ imaging, haha) where he can one day share with his children and his grandchildren. 👍🙏

@@buckchase1 Thank you for sharing your story. Well, here's my dad: drunk when he was home, beat my mother usually. Then after a horrendous fight, he'd be gone for months at a time. Maybe we'd get a card from him, to let us know where he was. Mostly no word, so my mom couldn't track him down for alimony. My mom had 3 kids, his kids, he never cared about. At 8 I had a hubcap collection on my wall. My father came into the room, drunk, and accused me of probably stealing them all. I wrote a poem about cars once, he told me it was crap because poems are supposed to rhyme, and no one writes a people about cars. At 7 I was asked what I wanted to be for Halloween that year, and I said I wanted to be a tow truck for halloween. He refused to make me a tow truck outfit because, well, no one is a tow truck for halloween; I had to be a person, or a famous character. I've only ever, really loved cars, trucks and motorized things. What's really sad about this is that my father never understood this, or simply didn't care. There's lots more times I expressed my love for cars, trucks, where I was just shot-down for a stupid idea. By my father. . Derek, literally is the worlds best dad, as far as I'm concerned. Moreso than my own, if I'm to be honest. I love what he does with the cars, and all of that. Derek is literally a god with this stuff, but that's not what's most amazing here. Not just for what he's doing to rescue these old cars; but to take his family, specifically his boys, into this process with him. That's next level stuff, to me personally. Thank you for all that you do, Derek. You're fabulous.

I drove it through high school and loved it, even though it looked ratty (now referred to as patina) but it always ran great and never left me walking. It has been off the road sitting since 2005 and is in the barn that it has lived its entire life in. I really want to bring it back to life and hopefully teach my son how to drive in it soon.

In my case, I had the opposite situation as you. I suddenly had a car in my possession (1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan) and had no clue how to get it running. Basically, Derek showed me all I needed to know to get it going, and not give myself a panic attack attempting to do so. Ironically, it was Bradley's truck rescue video that I watched first when I discovered VGG. I am 35, but still feel like 19-year-old I was just 16 years ago.

He got me a 2 inch Chiltons and a toolbox, and invited the neighbors over each evening after work. They would help a little, but mostly enjoy Cold Snacks and heckle me.

When HEI and other electronic ignitions were fairly new, I represented an ignition manufacturer and we often swapped HEI for points ignition. Points & condenser ignitions would generate 15,000 to 20,000V sparks, but the HEI (for High Energy Ignition) could usually put out around 50,000. So we always advised opening the spark plugs gap to .40-.45 which is the gap for most OE spec HEI setups. It just made them run better.

Don't forget to replace that fibre joint in the steering column, if it breaks when you're running the back roads you're gonna have a wild ride.

Pure Gold Derek! My 11 year old just asked me when we were gonna get something big to work on. Right now we are doing small engine stuff and some antique Honda motorcycles. But he’s getting more and more interested in cars and trucks. Thanks for all the great content and God Bless you and your family!

I am amazed to see such excellent parenting. My children, 29 and 34 have recently shared stories about friends of theirs who basically had very little paternal involvement. So I asked how mom and I did and they you were there, you taught us the best way you knew how. You don’t a second chance, so keep that family real close to you

Best way to teach Young one, for sure. Taught My Son to drive also with a standard too. That way, They will understand gears, friction point of clutch & if stuck, best way of rocking Vehicle getting out. Found out One can not get a New Truck anymore with a standard gearbox. So bought one from Auction Sale.

@@Deadly_DoRight Thanks. But I did check it out & they do not come with 2 wheel drive nor a 8 foot box. I don't want a 4 wheel drive as never on off road. Also I want a 8 foot box. I used to have a 1976 Toyota truck with a 8 foot box & always regret selling it. I also don't like any of the newer vehicles anymore for 2 things, #1 is LED headlights, I will not be responsible for killing someone blinding them & #2 is too computerized. Prices too are now out of this world. I remember paying 5300.00 for My truck back in 76. Now well over 50.000.00. One has to have one hell of an Income now to afford one, But on a pension Income. makes it impossible.

@@CountryAndClassics I'm a motorcyclist and LED headlights are my #2 hate. So far as i'm concerned they are like driving down the road with two arc lights. Plus people cant be bothered to dip their headlights. If it rains I am fkn blinded. I am surprised that no American manufacturer offers a four-on-the-floor manual gearbox. 4WD kills economy & you don't need it if it's just for basic transport. Furthermore Brad can fix a basic truck by the side of the road. Modern trucks & cars seem to be design so as to discourage the owner from working on them. I'm sure that is why we get those 'just rolled in' videos.

Seeing a young man falling in love with an old rig like that is amazing. I have a feeling there is a lot more projects in the future for that truck that he is gunna wanna do. An the best advice i can give to him is " Make it yours, Make it represent who you are as a person and Treat that rig like it is a living breathing person " Because in the end that old truck is what is gunna be there for you no matter the situation. Your gunna have that one ride or die best friend but nothing can compare the relationship between a guy and his truck. I cant wait to see if he is gunna name the ol gal or not. Kinda hoping he will.

Derek, just love your saving these old relics. I did an '87, Grand Wagoneer back in '97. Was only 10 years old, but tired with high mileage. Came with all the options available. After rebuilt 360 ci and 727 tranny, my mom and i toured the country. While in the Shell Creek Range, north of E!ly, Nevada, at my brothers ranch, we hooked up his 24' Coachman and headed north to Two Island Lake in northern Minnesota to visit friends. Then up into Ontario, took the high Trans Canada road east, down thru Montreal into Vermont. Then to Portland Maine to visit relatives then back to Florida. What a trip!
