Wow - seriously, wow.
Most definitely my favorite channel, period. (side note : I'm only 2 vids deep @ this point)
It's like the best of Road kill* + a touch of Red Green to boot.
Bravo sir, bravo.
Cheers from the east! (Madison)
* Back when they were good.
Thank you - appreciate the support!
Right 😂 just wow..
@@ViceGripGarage I think this is my 3rd video. When you talked about problems with things haven't you heard if it has tits or tires you know you'll have problems with it
You need a space heater for your shop bro😁😁
I really enjoy your vids you put on here.Throwing things around and saying I,ll be dipped, That,s cool hick talk.🍺
The MOST accurate depiction of working on an old truck I have seen. THIS is reality TV!
Thank you George!
Derek, revisiting some of your earlier vids. It's amazing how you've evolved through all the episodes, yet you are the same man! I'm truly a die hard fan of your channel. I just bought my dream project truck, a 66 C10, and will be utilizing a ton of knowledge that you've imparted. You're making a difference and are very much appreciated.
I was dying of laughter during the cramp. Mainly because i know that hell.
Son bugger really locks a guy up
totally been there, when I was doing headers, leaning over my Nova
me too...reality
Ditto, but it is usually a leg that starts cramping on me.
That's funny,we are all in the same boat.
Somebody sponsor this guy and send him a shop heater ! ASAP
haha!
@@ViceGripGarage ..Derek has the propane 8,000 fry your back side unit. Noisy as a North Atlantic storm.Works good for drying /melting paint.
Me, I’d go with an old wood burning heater. I plan on putting one in my shop
@Robert Boulware, it looks like bare metal on the walls and roof.
Robert Boulware insulation helps retain the heat, but a wood burner in an uninsulated building does surprisingly well.
Man, the back cramp had me dying because I know the pain since I to work on cars in my garage with no lifts lol. Keep up the great content.
Hey Derek, I just purchased a 1972 Monte Carlo Custom. Original owner, numbers matching, fully documented car. Hadn't ran in 33 years. Got it home and did the Vice Grip magic on it. Fired up after twice priming and runs like a champ. Thanks for all the videos, they are super helpful and very entertaining.
I swear I think 1 reason why I find you are so funny is because you remind me of what's going on in my head while I'm working on vehicles.
Killed me with the “ take my Bruce Lee and give it a couple Chuck Norris’s” the little funnies just keep ya on the toes watching
Justin Phillips let’s not for get that “battery is deader than Elvis” HAHAHA
Just love it
I agree with you 100 percent
This guy is a public menace - I can't get anything done cause I spend all day watching these videos!!
I can watch your videos for hours man I really enjoy the fact you don’t use real high end expensive dohickkie removal tools just the basic buckle busters. Really good sense of humor that actually makes it fun to watch. At the same time your one of the best mechanics I ever did see that’s the gods honest truth.
Nice.
Back in the day, I was the proud operator of an ole 64 Chevy truck. 4x4 with the bed delete option.
Farm truck, really, and that old goat would go anywhere.
Amazing how a SINGLE DUDE can make a better show than a multi million dollar corporation with 50 out of touch executives making decisions based on their worldview. A guy has the most relatable wordview when he does it himself
Originally from the Great White North state of So Dak. So ima former neighbor. Born in the early 60's. Worked on cars since I could see over the fenders. I enjoy your video presentations greatly. You are ejumacating all of us reel good!!! Keep up the fine work my Northern Brother. Always remember, impact engineering solves 87 and a half problems on most ve hick als. Peace
Thanks Mark! Keep on keepin on!
You are one funny "MECHANIC DUDE"!!!! Love watching and learning things from each and every video you put out there,and I mean "OUT THERE"...😂🤣😉 I'm almost twice your age,but I'm learning,and LAUGHING!!!🤣😂😆😁 Keep up the great videos,you are a blessing to each an every self-taught mechanic in the World!!!!😳🤪😡🤬God Bless...
I am glad you are enjoying it and having a good time that's what this channel is all about! Thank you for the support I sincerely appreciate it!
You tell it like it is. We don't get the weather like you do in England, or the cars, or the spares....... but hay we can all dream . Takes me back to when I was younger with my brother , who was a mechanic, doing up our Mk1 Cortinas. Happy days. Jim
England. Awesome! I should try to do some euro cars...
I have started to talk to myself in the garage after watching a few episodes... LOOKOUT!
I'm a shade tree mechanic with a 63 Buick Wildcat. I always learn something from watching your videos. Great information and good humor. How in the world did you think that could work!
Just bought a 65 shortbed stepside in the UK , cant wait to go get her , shes white as well 283 with 2 speed powerglide . Keep up the good work !
the "powerslide" is a pity, with its 1.49:1 first gear ratio, but the 283 is a fine engine for its time. She'll redline like an old Kent four or a 2.3 Litre OHC cossie.
My family came from Minnesota/Wisconsin. I get the weather issue. Watching you work over these old rigs reminds me of my dad and grandpa working on these old trucks and tractors, keeping them running because there was no money to take it to a shop. Thanks for this channel! Old iron is the best iron. Derek.
Just wanted to thank you for your videos. They are informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work and continue to keep the language clean, my grandchildren even enjoy watching you.
Thanks Dean! Glad your grandchildren enjoy as well!
My Dad had a white C10 short bed stepside when I was a kid. Had that same bronze interior, too. Straight six with a four speed trans. 1st was a granny gear. Only ever used it when carrying or pulling heavy loads, so normal takeoff was in 2nd gear. Engine was running bad when he first bought it. We pulled out the engine only to find that the problem was number six. She had a broken pushrod and the rocker had slipped off to one side, wearing a hole in the back of the valve cover. It was at the very back of the valve train, can't remember whether it was exhaust or intake valve, probably exhaust. He did the right thing, didn't check anything else, put in a new pushrod and rocker, and got a different valve cover from a junk yard (being there was no JB Weld back then) and we dropped her back in. She ran like that until Dad sold her.
I really enjoy your videos, even when things get so aggravating for me when I’m working on something that’s not goin right. I just recollect back on how u make fun then I say if I’m not careful right now this could piss a guy off.
Lived in St. Cloud area for 30 years and remember every time my car broke down in the winter, and only in the winter mind you, and how much ice I breathed in working in my dad's driveway.....great times..your videos are hilarious thanks for making those memories come back...
i live in the Northeast, and my cooling system always failed in the winter because we all know how fun it is to lay in a puddle of coolant when it is freezing with ice and snow on the car
Man this is a comedy show dressed up as a car show...I love it..dude keep making em..
G'day Mate..Nice Work... as a certified Engineer from Australia, I love the effort you put in to correcting the brake shoe issue. Brake Shoe in a spray can...excellent. We still only have the brush on stuff over here.
haha thanks
I like how you shook the truck once it was on jack stands. My high school auto shop teacher taught us to do that. "If you can't knock it off on purpose, you probably won't knock it off on accident."
This is true
Great session on springs…Looking at doing the same on a 70C10 and needed some inspiration with a dose of reality with rusted bolts…Thank you for some confidence…Now off to tackle spring fever in the fall👍🏼
Easily, one of the most entertaining motor/Chevy/junker channels. Derrick, you are hilarious. Never know what you are going to say next. LMFAO brother. Keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy! See you next Friday!
Wonderful Truck. I bought a 65 way back in 99. it was a long bed step side 3speed 6 cyl and regret every day that i sold it not long afterwards. I subscribed to your channel when I stumbled on it about 6 mos ago. love the 60 el camino and the route 66 vids. I live in W.Ky and hope to see you drive by on your way home to Tn someday.
Im drunk. Big-time
Me too, brotha
Imagine that dang potato water
And!!!!! That's different how? lol
Peg is alive,,, where, is the fuckery, you hair lip,,, going through Alberta Stan withdrawals....
@@willierepairone5389 Yeah, ifn your gonna get drunk at least film it for us.
This truck reminds me of my dad's first new pickup truck. He only ever had two new trucks in his life. A 1966 stepside C10 and a 1984 fleetside C10. He drove the '66 until he got he '84 and boy did he work those trucks out hauling stuff!
“Brake pads in a can” loving it
Landon Roy yea had to use it on my woman sent her into the auto zone asking for break pads in a can. And she did lol not happy with me when she came out oh yea also sent her right back in there for sparkulators she won’t go in no more for me lol
Brake shoes on the front
Love that truck! I don't know if you can tell but I've binged every episode lately and it just plays in the background of the shop! Building my sons c10 it makes me feel less annoyed by certain aspects! Thanks Derek!!
I am always jealous of you guys! I can never find any classics in my area. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places? Keep up the good work! You’re my favorite UA-cam mechanic. My 9 year old runs around saying I’ll be dipped. 😂
Im just getting caught up on your vids. Having a great time watching them.
Keep up the great work.
Nothing like a little "ssssssttt" followed by a "eeeYawww" to really give whatever you're doing the onions. Thanks Derek 🤣
Derek you are a pleasure to watch. I know that you hear that all the time. I wish that I could have seen you when you and your family came to Tucson, Az recently for Duct Tape Drags. A real bummer that we missed you. Any idea when you might be coming back my way? Really really want to meet you. Thank you so very much for all the awesome videos and please don't change a thing. You are awesome!
Another fun project. Man, I'd like to see an old scrap-wood-burning stove in the corner!
Maybe next winter, we'll see what the insurance man says
@@ViceGripGarage insurance man he say No! just like when Quint in Jaws says I got me a taxidermy man, he gonna have himself a heart attack when he see what I brung em 1
I cant belive that spring got sprung . Hate to be the feller behind the truck when that spring got ejaculated. Keep up the good work !!! Love to watch a guy I can finally understand what he is trying to verbulate. Thanks again !!!!
I enjoy your videos bro, it's like watching Will Ferrell work on cars/trucks. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Northern California!!!
Thanks Buddy! Send some of that warm air stuff up here aye!
@@ViceGripGarage Are you a secret Canadian agent?
Mr Cee will ferrell, no caps for a reason is a no talent hack, this man is a talented hack!
I wouldn't say that. This guy's actually funny. Will Farrel has never been funny.. Not once... Not even on accident.
At least he keeps his shirt on. Please keep your shirt on, bro.
Don't forget that oil pressure gauge squirty tube thingy. That is the reason I only do the electromagical gauges.
Loweringrn it's fine just remember to jack it up come winter time ask Peg to send you a pair tire chains or at least carry a 2 x 4 in ratchet strap
Me and my sons watch every episode and it cracks us up every time. You are a solid dude with views we can all agree on. Keep up the amazing work we hope to watch you save em for a long time.
Love the videos man! You are keeping me occupied while I can’t wrench! out here in japan on deployment, goin nuts not busting open my fingers on anything I awhile!
I have to admit, I was a little surprised and impressed to see you using a pickle fork and not just just taking the murder weapon straight to the knuckle.. Good on ya!
Most likely the only tool I use properly. That old chuck norris has been with me for years
just found your channel and watched every one of your videos love this channel !!! cant wait for more videos !! and really cant wait for the camaro to be done
I will be sure to do more shenanigans with it this summer
I did the same, I got sucked into all of them. You funny guy, now go make more. 😋

I just recently found your videos and I've been going back and watching every one of them from the beginning from your first video and I just love the way you do things reminds me of me and you got a great personality don't ever change keep up the great work and God bless you and your family
Just love it! Especially your delicate touch. Already looking forward to the next one. 🤘😎
Right on - thanks for watching bud
My husband and i really enjoy your videos. We live in Kansas and he grew up with a dad that farmed. We still do but sadly have to work 9to 5 also. And we have to fix our own junk . lol . Some of the things you do remindes me so much of my husband. Keep up your good work and videos. We love seeing your family in them also. Love ya guys.
Like the videos just found your channel. Great humor keep up the good work
Thanks for watching & commenting! Hope I win your sub 🤘
Finally Someone whom knows exactly how to Correctly lower a C-10 Well done Sir ..They don't makem like her anymore and it's a Powerful thing to see her being treated with the upmost respect and dignity that she deserves I'm also a Mechanic 40+ years of experience and I must say that it's a real honor to watch you work because your Teaching others the correct way to Repair and modify vehicles and the fact that your doing wile freezing and in pain Speaks valumes as to your caricature You sir truly deserve the Golden Wrench Award For service above and beyond the call of duty My hat is off to you sir Keep on truckin Brother Forever Forward 💯😎🤝 👍✌️🚚
I really dig what you are doing with this channel. You strike me as a cross between Tim Allen, Red Green and me. That's a scary and wonderful combination!
Sounds perfecto to me! Thanks for watching bud!
I wish I had Dad's old 65 now. That lowering kit looks really sharp. Thanks Derek I'm lovin this channel and the old boxes you're fixing on.
Makes a guy think he might need an old Beaumont, Olds 442 or maybe a pick-up. Two Thumbs Way Up!
Another great vid, truck looks good!
Thank you kindly!
I learned to drive on my grandfather's '63 Chevy "stepside" (as we called it) 3 on the tree 6 cyl. I have wanted a '63-'66 Chevy P.U. for years! It just brings back so many good memories. Thanks for this awesome channel, Derek!
Old trucks are always hiding a little extra "fun" for a guy.
Man, the suspense from when you saw what was wrong out back till you showed it... I just laughed out loud for real...
One of those "Well, there's ur problem right there" moments!
OK, lets see...off work at 3:30...drive home...grab adult beverage, pork rinds and red vines...flip on the ol' interwebs and settle in for another intellectually stimulating installment of VGG. Perfect!
Sounds like a great night - talk to you soon bud!
Boobies!
I appreciate the content, I do what you do but on Computers. I always have your channel on in the background. Thanks for being so entertaining!
Ah, the ole blutooth suspension
I dub thee "The Apocaplypse Mechanic!" It's hilarious how you find these vehicles (great also how you involve your kids and teach them the value of doing 'hard things')and put yourself into these situations but then always find a way out and get back home with a real gem. People take for granted how to fix old cars and trucks and when the "Big One " hits you'll be the only guy driving down the road. Incredible how you breathe new life into these long-forgotten vehicles. Rust and all. Makes ' a guy' want to start a project of his own. LOL Thank you and keep it up!
I’m waitin! Got some good ol’e American on standby..Aka Kentucky’s Finest!
Nice!!
That liquid they make down there in Kentucky is quite good to drink, it'll warm your innards.
The best part about being a motor mechanic is watching someone else do the work, haha, love your videos, thanks Derek
We're just gonna pretend i greased up and repacked the bearings...Lmfao. Thats was great.
Another great video. Snow, ice and freezing temps again this morning here in Toledo. Looks like I will be working in the garage on the chevy instead of cruising.
Lets keep praying for warmer weather!
I'm really digging the vids! I like ur since of humor.
Thanks Joseph!
Great videos , keep up the good work. I’ve done a ton of these road trips from hell to drag home old cars . The only difference is you actually know a lot about cars. Learning a boat load , thanks
Just found this channel, and it's already my favorite, i'll watch all of your videos
Appreciate your support!
FOUND THIS SIGHT CALLED VICE GRIP GARAGE, AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WOW, SOMEONE ELSE USE`S VISE GRIP`S FOR EVERYTHING. SO, I CLICKED ON THIS SIGHT, HAVE NOT LEFT, WATCHING EVERY EPISODE. THIS GUY IS ALL OF US. GOOD JOB GUY. KEEP EM COMING.
thanks for watching buddy
dude you are so corny! and so down to earth! I really really like your videos and I'm pretty picky I have 30 million views and 110K + subscribers on my channel and I don't watch anything that is poorly done you channel is fantastic !!! AAA++++
I'm not a car guy. From Manhattan and didnt get a license until I was 20. My tool kit is a screwdriver! Thank you for introducing me to a different world! Love your videos! Thanks!
chicken wings and pizza ready to rock on the digikals!
haha.. Love it
With the 1st video I looked at (the 500 mile Chevelle rescue) I thought to myself, "This guy's a dope - who does this on purpose?"
I then had an attack of conscience when I thought about some of the cars I've owned or worked on for friends - & realized a kindred spirit.
Including the 1 time I had to change my spark plugs on a -20 degree day on my '75 Bel Air. That was fun & educational.
So, I'm subscribed now, & thanks for all the dust, rust, poor decisions & kinda o.k. results. Oh yeah, & the deadpan humor's a plus.
Keep up the good (?) work!
hah. Well, I appreciate you giving the channel a second chance! Sounds like you've been there done that.
@@ViceGripGarage Just a little bit. Resurrected my 1st car, bought cars that in retrospect I really shouldn't have, taken parts from one to keep another going, & for good measure: a close friend had a '75 Monte Carlo that he tried to break during the week, & I spent the weekend fixing. Yeah, you could say I've been there, done that. :)
You have the best damn videos on you tube
THANK YOU!
I was watching a fella blowing smoke and rubbing his hand for heat..Well It reminded this guy about a time when he was a very young man. This guy was a young paratrooper living in a trailer smaller than a 4 door Electra 225. Working on my pile of crap of a car in the cold dark night. luckily I had a drop cord and house lamp minus the shade. It was just GREAAAAAT.
You somebitchh, love it. Your vids and vehicles are all up to my liking with quality in a good way lol love all the vids have a nice Captain and Coke for me
Safety glasses can help your eyes free from dust, nuts and bolts , etc; but of course you know all that. Like your videos. Greetings from Southern California.
Bro loved the zip n zaps.. u keep me rolling.. do u got an address I can send some love ur way? In box me
yessir! She's down in the description box of digikals. Email me so I can thank ya!
That's what I would do if it was me, wouldn't change a thing,. Lol
I'm a bit late to the party but I really enjoy your irreverent treatment of these old cars but what really made me laugh was the antics with cramping up and having to get out to straiten out and I thought it only happened to me thank you soooo much.
I've meet my other me, Ok well twenty some odd light years younger. As I too, have the bassakards way of tellin it how it be. Glad to see clearly, I'm now officially not the only abbienormal one on the planet, as I for many years, better add few more in there..
As my Ma says,"from conception, I've been a PIA", cause I will go outta my way to do everythang, that I'm told I can't make work, work!
BTW, for all that say your not normal, thus makin you abbienormal, refer those unknowing Knowitall's to, the definition of, "Normal!", and watch them suddenly understand.
Which BTW, has never happened to date as far back as I can remember, because being Knowitalls they can't grasp the truth before their bloodshot eyes.
Not even when Ole Mr. Webster, takes a big bite outta both their cheeks, and spits em at their little piggies.. Nope, those that know, know, and those that think they know, can do the homework. Ya know!
I say, crusty beauty rings, and the faded center caps, be perfect balance of chrome, gone faded and crusty, matches Her natural beauty marks just fine.
This has been a broadcast from local broadcast affiliates, as a service advisory, from lands far far to the south. Well not that far south, because it's actully northeast Tejas, the only country that can be a state too.
See, and not nary, a four lettered verb, adjustive, are pronoun utter once. My Ma be proud, but she ain't gonna believe it. LMFAO, and C/10 purdy for ole gurl, but dem ole gurls, gotta have rings to put a sparkle in em eye's!
Great that you'er puttin some love on that awesome little pickup ...worth all the time and money. She's gonna make you an awesome daily driver for sure...ENJOY!!!
thanks
Like you I also really like the little tang grinder sparks adds to my Pepsi. It also helps wash down the grit you get in your mouth from the underside of a truck.
Guys gotta have some wind pipe cleaner around
Nothing better than an old Chevy truck getting some TLC. A fella could watch for hours! I've chucked a few wrenches in the bed just for the hell of it, too. Thx for taking the time to make these videos!
The cramp, keeping your eyes and mouth open while working under old cars! Hilarious cause we have all been there! Good stuff from a Alabama Mopar guy!
Hey Dusty! Thanks for watching! Someday I hope to afford a mopar
No one can “afford” a mopar!
Hint er roonie here: PB Blaster is your friend, if you get a big steel ball penne hammer and hit the side of the spindle on the flat next to where the ball joint connects the resonance will break the interference fit and you won't need a pickle fork that usually rips the grease cover over the ball joint and proceeds to leak grease all over the brakes when your towing. Also I'm sure there's a cheap junk yard brake swap to save you a lot of money and probably somebody else's life when your hauling way too much weight on the trailer and the brakes are over loaded.
Thanks Thomas! Great tips!
I don't know whether to show you respect for working in a giant fridge or show you a map to help you find your way south and warmth. Just subscribed and loving your content. Cheers
Ill take the map!! Need to find my way outta here
Best way to star an episode 😂😂. I know this in an old episode but Derek please don’t ever stop. This is by my favorite UA-cam content
Thank bro! I could definitely drink beer with you! .I got a VTG tee shirt this week. Now old car take one look at me and start them self's out of shear fear! Lol
If you haven't already, grab a 1 1/4" front sway bar off a late 70s-80s 1 - Ton Suburban. You'll need the brackets too. I put one on my worn-out 67 C10, along with a rear bar, and can now actually keep up with traffic on freeway on-r ramps and curves. Huge improvement for relatively little cash outlay.
Great advice thank you
I said it once and will say it again Neighbor that I love this truck. Even with the missing rear spring. Love those days of working on the shop floor! Nope, not at all Neighbor!
I have found the easiest way to lower a vehicle is as follows. Tape a stick to the fender pointing down with the end above the ground at the distance you want to lower the vehicle. Turn on a hose pipe with a trigger spray outlet. Heat the spring in one spot with oxy-acetylene until the spring starts to sag. As the stick touches the ground quickly spray the spring with cold water. This stops the lowering and re-tempers the steel at the same time. Make sure you are wearing safety gear as you don't want scalding steam and water in your face and eyes. Should not take more than 5 minutes a corner. I am joking but I have seen this done, LOL. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your humour.
Love watching your show... it was actually recommended on a roadkill Facebook page and I'm glad I checked it out!
Have you ever tried "RustBuster" from appliance parts stores! It is for dissimilar metal corrosion. It leaves a dry,non oily, surface that is mildly etched.Tools DON'T slip of of the fastener being removed!
I've heard of it. Don't know that I've got her in my cabinet though.
When you start to cramp up like that.. two words: PICKLE JUICE. Works like a charm!!
I'll be dipped- NO rear coil springs!! Those are gnarly front brakes, too. Good thing you're fixin' on her! Neat old Chevy truck; not so much weight-reduction either! Lotsa good ol' character.
Hello my friend i really enjoy watching your videos you remind me of my grandpa he loved working on cars and trucks some day i would like to meet you my friend your buddy ben Brown frome Cincinnati Ohio
Living here in Alaska, I can relate to your decision on keeping the tires. A good set of snows are like GOLD around here. When you're up to your door handles in snow and it's in 4 wheel drive... yeah.. now that's fun.
I love the genuine rustic center console and cup/koozie was a really nice added touch, your awesome sir.
really like Vice Grip Garage,funny commentary and love getting these old cars and trucks running,keep it up,just great!
