"I'm gonna completely rebuild that."
Every time. It gets me every single time.
Lost the receipt though.... 🤣
Tsst tssst 👍👍🤣
That's my plans with the 300 kagillion projects
no need to rust proof.
Tssss 🤙🏼
Been watching since the channel was new. Was happy 2 c a guy still working on rigs. This channel got me off Xanax. I quit using Xanax and needed something to calm me down during a anxiety attack. I was having a panic attack 1 day and poped on an ol vice grips episode and was laughing in under a min. You impact many lives Derek thank you sir.
I too, am off my bipolar medication because of VGG
Anyone else notice the beer bottle opener on the captains side rear bumper? Lmao!!! That's American engineering at its finest right there.
He doesn’t need a bottle opener.
Bro not even going to lie it took me a second to figure out what it was I had to literally put my phone to my face when I was like that's some hillbilly ingenuity there seems like the previous owner that put it on there just had zero fs to give
@willywonka3409 I use a lighter if I don't have a bottle opener but you're right, you don't need a bottle opener for black velvet lol
L O L factree
I bleve that's a cold snack opener fella.
I was watching this episode at the gym….. and when he put in the carpet!!!!! I’m telling you I laughed so loud that everyone started looking back at me while I’m on the elliptical machine!!!! And I continue to laugh for a while longer long enough that everyone could have a second look!!!!! Thank you, Derek for brightening up my day with neon blue carpet that I am 100% positive glows in the dark! Love you man!!!
That bright blue carpet actually gives off a sort of luminous effect, brightening the interior. Brightens the doors, too. I like it! It's a really cool contrast with the basic blue of the truck.
I dig it.
Agreed

On the seat, find a big section of used denim, stuff it through the hole and spread it out over the foam, then hand stitch it to the rest o the cover - that will save the foam from getting ground away from getting in and out of the truck. :)
That would definitely bring it right back around.
how about glue down the old denim
how about a Blue blanket seat cover?
Best of both worlds a feller can get with comedy and car restoration 😂
These big episodes must be a huge pain to edit so I figured I’d take a second to say how much I appreciate them also they go right up on the big tv
I still can't believe this gem was rescued from a scrapyard, unbelievable 🤦♂️ I love that blue, and those blue dash lights compliment it perfectly, they'll look great at night, what a rig 💙
ugliest damn color of blue carpet
Is there another video of the rescue?
@@carolinacatsfish497 it matches the blue gauges color!
"2 bolts holding this thing in" "I probably installed that" lol 5:40
Another Fun Adventure !
Hey Derrick just throw some dirt on that carpet so it doesn't blind you when you get in the truck first thing in the morning. Love your videos your hilarious
That’s a powerful bright blue right there, and I ain’t kiddin’ ya, neither.
Still, it’s about a 96.82368543% improvement on the old rig. Perfect.
You said it man......IIIIIIII like it!
I love how everyone has adopted Derek's way of communicating lol, great episode!
My kids are constantly asking me "what did you say" as were working on stuff. My wife even caught me saying electrodigcal once and I had to explain. Lol
That's going to happen after watching videos about 164001 times
Logo on door is a sweet touch Derek @Vice Grip Garage
K,so Derrick let's see the first K.15 with an vinyl top ,that would look awesome love your channel PEACE
A whole hour episode. Ain’t nothing better. I love that I can get the same satisfaction out of watching my favorite UA-cam fella wrench when I can’t afford to wrench on something of my own.
Luckily I have a couple I’m working on right now, but I would rather watch Derrik lol 😂
Thanks, about the same here,,,,,,
@@jessecordell1313 it’s always better sometimes just to watch someone else… lol
Agreed
Id watch 2 hours with no problem
Anyone else notice the accessory item on the end of the driver side rear bumper, handy bottle opener. Should come stock with every truck.
Great show, thanks for sharing
Now that’s a great lookin’ goin’ to town rig right there, tell you what!!! The ‘BLU GOOSE’ it what you should call ‘er!!!!
I love how calm and collected he is at all times. I need to adopt that mentality in my own life.
To be fair, he ALMOST got a little antsy while chastising those who cut up the square body dashes to fit "modern" radios.
They call that electric blue because you're shocked when you see it. It matches the dash and radio lights really well! That is a nice looking truck...well done! 👍😎
I was thinking the same
Love the custom wobble pop opener on the Craig’s list bumper
Not sure why but loving the electric blue carpet! 😊 it actually looks good with the other colors, especially since you put it on the door panels. Nice work
DONT CUT OUT THE DASH in first 4 minutes gave me so much laughter, thanks for sharing and what you do. I love Tennessee too 🏡
That carpet debacle happened to me once on a 73 Chevy, and believe it or not I rattlecanned that ugly carpet to a much more suitable color! Did not attempt it in one coat; laid it out on the ground and sprayed several mist coats until it was perfect. Never thought it would work, but it did! Since the seat and the floor mats covered most of the carpet, there wasn’t much painted area showing in the end. Give it a whirl if you get tired of the “electricity”.
Rattle canned more carpets than I care to remember. Like you say, multiple light coats are the best way
I lightly rattlecanned the custom black faded old t-shirt stuffed denim 2x6 skillsaw carved lumber seat on my '76 Honda TL125 and It worked so good I am going to do it again next fall.
JUST WALLER IT OUT A LITTLE BIT, SHOULD EASE ON IN! 😂😂 I love how you are just yourself.
DEREK WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE MORE CHEVYS AND MOPARS , THANKS FELLA.
Wow. That color is crazy.
Years ago at work, we got to choose the color of our new company cars. One guy chose medium blue. When it showed up it was Smurf blue. He was razzed endlessly.
Needed this today, man has the universe been givin a guy a hard time. Love your content brother thank you for your videos they help more than you may realize keep up the great work Derek.
Shits going to hell in a hand basket huh? We are all feeling the same and live in the USA. Can you believe it? 2018-19 Booming Economy n things were going so well. Keep fighting James. Stand up to the universe. This is Your Country Brother.
Amen, feller!
I guess thats why they call it the blues...I couldnt resist. Please steal this sir. Love your show!
That carpet is like when I put white laces (Vans laces, had them on hand) in my workboots... Good Golly Miss Molly!
Best way to spend your Friday evenings w/feller and fellet friends.
I agree
Agreed 👍
Truth!
Truer words have never been spoken
.....and a cold snack .
This is an absolute gorgeous truck. A fella and his felette have dreams about building something this nice. One day.
My great granddaughter wants a old pickup truck. I want to teach her by watching you and me showing her what she does not understand I'm handicap but with your help we will teach her how.
Sweet
Great video!!!...good old American entertainment/educational car video, best car show on the internet, hands down!!!
This is got to be my favorite style of Chevy & GMC Trucks!
Also that Blue is sweet!
Sorry to hear what happened Derek. Hope everything is ok. Love your channel
What happened?
@@xtr3m3fLx Apparently some asshole stole some stuff from his property.
@@xtr3m3fLx someone robbed his shop while him and his family were gone
@@xtr3m3fLx someone has apparently been on his property looking at the vehicles and has stolen parts.
@@jeremyscaggs7315 WHAT?!?! What a fricken POS! That stings man, what a bummer. 😡
When it suits You, it's Done! Great Dash treatment. About that Oil Pressure..........................
This trucks name should definitely be 50 shades of blue!!
I’m impressed with the bottle opener on the bumper. A true going to town rig
I saw that too!
And oh yeah, nice work Derrick!
Caught that right away 😂😂
I freakin love this channel. Derrick and is humor gets me every damn time
You should make a video with all the clips of what the cabs smell like when you open the door. You have some good ones. 😊
I don't avoid 'doesn't run' ads so much any more thanks to your tutelage. There's some real go-to-town potential out there.
I love those old GMC pickups. I especially love the step-sides. Very nice looking additions you made to this one Derek!!!! Cheers bro!!!!
T-Roy! Glad to see you on this channel! I’ve watched your stuff for a while!!
My buddy in high school had a 77' 3/4 ton 2wd stepside. Had 16.5x10 slot mags and 31' BFG A/T's. We took that truck in places no 2wd should go, We hauled our dirtbikes all over the place with that truck and had a blast with it... good times
@@dadofsevendoesitall9341 I love watching Derek do miracles with vehicles. It gets my mind off of food for a while and Derek is funny! LOL
Derek, one thing you could've done with that neon beer sign blue carpeting would be to buy a $4 bottle of Rit Dye and put that carpet in a tote of water and dye mix and it comes out whatever color you buy. Pretty neat option, something to keep in mind and it's so simple. I love this truck!
That blue though!!!! LMAO - It's RIGHT UP IN YOUR TEETH!!!
@@troysgarage Well, it's bowling alley blue.
That blue carpet actually looks pretty good
.....if everybody had this much fun the world would be a fine place indeed.......good show......
Now that carpet is blue! Electric is correct! Matches the gauges! 🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
Thank-you VGG for providing such wholesome entertainment for the entire family to enjoy. We love it !!
Got all choked up and teary eyed looking at that masterpiece. If I could get a truck like that, life would be good!
GREAT!! Colt Seavers would be proud
This is the second video ive watched on this channel ever and this episode had me laughing so hard that I'm pretty sure ill watch until you quit. Thanks sir.
She might have some scratches and a few dents, but thats still a damn good looking truck with the wheel and tire package!
I just love spending time with you every week Derek. Love watching you wrench on cars and learning stuff along the way. Your awesome and I thank you. Have a good weekend my friend and God Bless.
Those gauges really match that BLUE carpet. Nice touch. And the silver pen trick is cute. Mike in Oz
Put some bright yellow stars on that carpet and it would be straight outa a 90's bowling alley.
I appreciate how you talk about saving money in your videos. You make it realistic and enjoyable to watch
I actually like that Electric Blue carpet / Electric Blue gauges combo. Granted, an electric blue dash cover might be too much... lol. Keep up the great work.
I think he actually wanted the electric blue carpet anyway. It does go well with the lighted electrodigical components.
im mean ya if a guys a secret elton john fan sure that colors fine!
@@justaguyinagaragewithasign3244 Hey, that feller made some _fine_ music, back in the day. Don't matter that he's fruitier than a bad gift basket.
I love that truck , my neighbour is sitting on like 5 of them , 3 almost rust free 4 speed 4by4 and a couple old plow trucks . He won’t part with any . Old fella .
When installing shifter boots, I wad up some fiberglass insulation and stuff it inside the boot. You would be amazed how much noise it eliminates, and it might cut down on heat/cold. It takes 30 seconds and makes a big difference
After telling my wife about your videos she asked to watch one with me, now she’s as hooked as I am lol. Videos are great, love the content!
She's a keeper!!
Thank you for doing this. Seriously, thank you for doing this. Seeing a good old square body with a shop sticker on it can surely help take those that remember a little simpler time, back a bit. Granted I'm on the tail end of that time...but being from a REALLY small town this just has that small town feel to it. Your videos are always great. This one just sent a guy for a long, slow, stroll down memory lane. Outstanding stuff.
Now that is blue. All a feller needs now is a Pabst Blue Ribbon neon sign attached to the rear drinker door and it is done.
Nice looking square body. Enjoyed watching this video.
That steering wheel looks like a 90s flavor . Thanks again for the great content !
It's also a Chevy wheel.
Derek, you are by far one of the best youtubers. Love the 4 wheel drive content. Between what you choose for projects, the way you walk us through them (informative and hilarious), and your consistent weekly uploads is why i think a lot of us love your channel.
I like the bright carpet tbh.. it definitely stands out and is unique.
My eyes immediately crossed when you showed the carpet inside the cab. 😵Wow.
Derek, you NEVER fail to put out high quality content!!! I've gone back to the very beginning (again for the 4th time) and watched the channel evolve as time went by. Not even lying, this is the only channel that I've done this with because the wholesome family values you have, mixed with education, solid one liners and humor, the stories behind the rigs and just bringing us all along for the ride with your family and allowing us to feel like a part of said family. As for the recent issues at your homestead, my faith in humanity has hit absolute ROCK BOTTOM. You definitely took it in stride and like they always say, you can't keep a good man down. Thank you for doing what you do.
I love your channel and your personality. You have me laughing like a 2-year-old half the time. Your content is just amazing!!!!
That blue carpet is really stylish as well as practical.
VG is better than anything on TV according to this guy.
I will always love the Square Body Chevy's.... Lost mine in a wreck 20+ yrs ago and still dream of having another one.
You are a blessed man ... I Love this channel, keep em coming Derek. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
I am right there with you, also lost my last one to a wreck 21 years ago. 84 short bed, 2wd, lowered, cowl hood with a very hot small block. Now on disability for the rest of my life, which means I probably won't ever have the funds to swing another, especially at the current prices.
I've messed a lot of "Chrome" pens, Sharpie is cheap but Molotow's are a lot more shiny. Not a bad thing to have in your toolbox.
Sure makes me miss my old 87 3/4 ton I had. Sure would like to have another one that clean looking
Blue on blue on blue with a little brown,,,,,, perfect
That's a sweet ride, glad for another long vid. Keep up the good work fella
The carpet really makes that seat stand out 🤣 all laughs aside I love your videos and your work 🙌🏻
That dash takes me back to growing up
BAD ASS Derek. You done well for a Dude from Minnesota 🎉❤😂😊
What a great old truck, I think you should name it "Electric Blue".
Cheers from Tokyo!
Love the square bodies! You did an awesome job on the interior, just don't stare at the floor! The instrumentation is beautiful. And I noticed it has the bottle opener option on the rear bumper! Huge bonus! Keep up the good work. God bless your whole family.
I missed the bottle opener and had to go back and look see. It's at 40:23
Kept telling myself… it’s not that bad of a blue… nope you’re right it’s a bright blue. Enjoying the videos!
This video gave me the idea to build a plastic model replica of this truck. Thanks.
Hey Derek try a deflated basketball shove it in there and use the inflation kit from your truck with the little needle then reinflate it and it will pop out I tried that with my truck it works beautifully! A cheap ball Is less than $10
Is just me or dies when vgg post it’s like the best part of the day
the lights match the carpet and door trim carpet to a Tee!!..awesome..
Derek, it's so good to have you and your family here enjoying Tennessee! It's also nice to see some recognitional on the roads you mosey round on. I guess what I'm tryin to say is welcome and Carrie Underwood lives down the street so stop by and we'll go a visiting lol.
Absolutely love that ole GMC square body and I’m in love with that blue paint. I just couldn’t do that electric blue carpet. LOL I woulda exchanged it for black carpet and maybe eventually reupholster the seat with black vinyl but that’s just me…The gauges are awesome as well! Much better than the dummy lights.
The carpet looks like it belongs in the hull of a '70s fiberglass boat lol
@@adammccormick2257 oh yahhj
Derek it's your "well help me understand's" that keep me laughing and watching much love to you and the family, thanks for the great content.
I love that truck so much, I love the chrome. I had a 1984 chevy silverado as a kid, and I miss it a lot.
They work better than that evil bay one!😊
Really enjoyed this video, brought back so many memories. My dad had the exact truck when I was a kid, same color, same wheels. He passed away a few years back, wish I could watch your videos with him I know he’d love them. You have the same eye for what looks good and how a old Chevy should look as he did and he passed on to me…Definitely the perfect rig you got there, looking forward to more videos of it
I dont think it was this EXACT color, cause this doesnt look stock. Probably was the color.of the dash, little lighter blue.
My dads wasn’t factory color actually painted with metal flake so yeah probably not exact color…but it was the same shade, maybe I shouldn’t have used “exact” lol
@@bullfrog1807 oh nice! I have my dads ole 79 sierra grande still. Been in my life since I was 1 year old. It was the same blue as dereks here (the dash original blue) but i painted it flat black of course years ago when i was 18-20 or whatever. Lovely truck.
@@umakemerandy3669 Awesome….I didn’t get my dads 4x4 but I have is old 72 c10 short bed fleet side. My dad painted it flat black as well, if you ever re-spray your truck look into a product called “hot rod flatz” they make a really dark colored flat black that really makes a flat paint look legit
Gotta love the ol’ square body. Grew up in one of these trucks. Still drivin’ a Chevy but this style is still my fav
The temp sensor install fail at 11:30 pure gold 😂
That sticker just added tons of resale value 😜
Love that there goin to town or south 40 rig. Perfect compound cruiser. Just need some Vince or Shania on the boom box. Purdy lady snuggled up against you. Nothin better. That carpet is some burn your retinas out after a few wobble pops for sure but after a few chores she’ll have some patina to it to calm things down.
Thanks for sharing Derek. As always another fun video.
What I love about Derek is that he shows the perfect mix of doing work on camera, and showing us some work he did off camera. Keep it up Derek!
Bigger tires definitely look better to me On this truck love it Derek @Vice Grip Garage
A feller should do a Collab with one of those paintless dent repair wizards. Not saying it would be perfect but really could help in the goin to town status of that rig👍
