That shot though. He will be showing people that picture his hole life saying yup, that's the old man, and all the craziness that was so great about him.
Bentley's gonna be 80 years old with a grandkid on his knee telling about the time him and his pops drove 600 miles in an old Harvester on pizza and Yahoo. More holes than swiss cheese and one of the best times of his life! Brings a tear to an old guys eyes.
The thing will be, that his dad was able to fix something, and that thing being a mechanical unit that intermittently compressed air and the injected hydrocarbons pumped from the ground that came from the distilled carcasses of prehistoric animals. A series of explosions used to move the vehicle forward. I will probably seem more primitive than a steam engine does to our eyes today. How many people in 70 years will be able to fix or repair anything at all. Many today cannot even. This is part of the joy I get - seeing machines being fixed, rejuvenated and brought back into operation.
That's what it's all about. Kids are only young once and we won't be around forever so do things and have fun today so they will have the memories for tomorrow.

I think this will be one of Bentley’s best memories in the future just him and his dad on a road trip in a sketchy old truck that hasn’t been on the road in nearly 20 years. I remember helping my dad with an engine swap when I was 10 on a 1961 Ford Falcon back in 68 it got me hooked on auto repair.
That young man appeared to be totally ok with hours and hours in a loud old truck with no iPad and no books, chatting with his old man. That’s character. Great video and loved the road trip.
That's exactly how my son Jacob Haataja was before the Lord called him home March 28 2021 always my mini me but way smarter and faster than his ol man.. RIP son .
@@jrsgarage7623omg im so sorry for your loss. I know it’s been a year since writing, but I can only imagine that type of pain never fully leaves 💔..
When I was your Son's age, me and my Dad would take his '31 Model A to swap meets. We would have to leave around 5:00AM on Sundays to avoid traffic if we had to take a frwy. He would always find a place with pancakes ("hot cakes") and I could have all I wanted then off to the swap meet. Sometimes we would be driving for an hour and not one word. Then my Dad would look over at me and smile and I would smile back. No words. Some of the best memories this 64 year old man has. That feeze frame of you and your Son took me right back to those days. PS The truck is in my garage. My Dad Willed it to me over my 3 older family members as they never really liked it or wanted to go to swap meets that early with my Dad on Sundays. I learned to drive in the truck.
I always wanted memories like this with my dad but he gave us away when I was 9. Flat out abandoned us in court. Stood up in front of the judge and said I don’t want them. 😞 That made me a good dad though. I make sure my boys have all these types of memories. I would never leave them. I don’t know how he did it. Honestly I don’t know why I shared that, but it made me feel a bit better. 🤔
@@nicholassharp8691 That moment with his son grabbed me as well. I never had those moments with my Father either due to similar circumstances. Abuse and abandonment left me quite cynical. I've been married 38 years and have made it my life's work to create those moments with my Wife, Children and Grandchildren. Thanks for sharing.
I did!!!! And I was THUROUGHLY impressed....good parenting is the product of genuine love combined with an ability to GET OVER ONES' SELF....And, apparently, Derek has nailed it
My 3 year old daughter asked me this morning if we could watch "fixing cars" together, she ofc means VGG, proud moment. Can't wait until she's a bit older and we can do some road trips like this.
Thats so awesome! I got my son into building engines.......he went to school for it......its weird having your 24 year old be a better mechanic than you. Lol
My 15 year old daughter has the gearhead gene. She wants to do auto body. Super proud of her. I'll do all the mechanical and she can do the body work. Can't wait!
I nearly busted a gut at hearing Leaning on the Everlasting Arms playing after saying it had no oil pressure but you didn't hear any knocking on heaven's door. Talk about the humor on display.
My Dad didn't used to notice that I was around when I was a kid. It's only now that he is 79 and I'm 55 that he gives me the time of day. Thanks for showing us all how it could've been Derek and Bentley. Keep on trucking bud .
Dont take it that bad, there are just some people,who have a hard time relating to kids and are more confortable with them when they're older. At least he's opened up to you and you have the here and now to make things meaningful.
I had a hard time being anything other then a provider for my step kids. It took till they got to be adults that I could finally be open and free with them. I feel for you, but we as parents don’t always get it right. I always paid the bills, just never paid enough attention because I was never comfortable till now. Better late then never. Much love man
Almost the same here. but for the last 12 years, I have been talking to my dad everyday for hours per day and we have been catching up , he's 77 and I'm 55 . I feel you sir! it is never to late , It does bring a tear to my eye , but it is better than nothing , and some never get what we even have . You sir , keep on trucking.
I feel ya! My Dad was a career military man. 30 years in the Army deployed all over the world. He hardly noticed that we existed (or so it seemed most of the time). Even after I joined the Army myself we had little to do with each other. Today we are both retired. I moved to Texas 23 years ago after a big blow up fight with him. He did come to Texas for my wedding 11 years ago though. A couple years ago I went to Kentucky to take him on a fishing trip, and he kinda just blew that off. Last week, I drove up again to pick up an old RV that he decided to give me about 5 years ago. Just like Derek does give her a good once over, change or top off some fluids, air up the tires and hope for the best! 1800 mile round trip with my son in law! A trip he'll never forget! Break the mold and scatter the pieces! I include my kids and my grand kids and they love to include me!
My heart almost burst when you and your son gave each other that Smile, the one that speaks of all the love you have for each other. Your son is very blessed to have a Dad such as yourself that loves him that much and you are blessed to have a son that loves you equally. Not everyone has that. God bless you and your family Sir. John here, from the back-roads of Tennessee. :)>
Did a couple of road trips with my son when he was 10-12 years old. A little camping, a little fishing and lots of bonding. He calls me everyday…..he’s 35! Keep it up Derek.
I'm one of those kids who would would have loved this lifestyle my dad's brothers were identical to this and it didn't catch with my dad but once in a while I would sneak into the garage and get cut up on sharp exposed metal and 2 years ago that car that cut me to pecies in my hands and knees as a 5 year old was almost mint after a 6 year restoration in a local show and shine 3 decades later was a feeling that I won't ever forget even though I wasn't ever invited to be involved with them
@@if66was99 yep. And international made very few of these with diesels. Thats why Derek said he was gonna keep it. He is probably gonna fix all the rust and make it run and drive perfect. Its so valuable in the amazing shape its in.
Why were the diesel variants so rare? From what I've read, a diesel engine produces more torque then a gasoline engine. Torque is something that I would want in something that is made for off-road use.
This is one of my top ten revivals. International scout with the NISSAN turbo diesel what a fantastic combination. Great to see the whole family working on the rig.
One of many Vice Grippers to be! Happy to Sub to that, will be good to hear him spread the family Vice Grips!!! :D Oh yeah, I gotta sub the Vice Grip Lodge ! Good Night!
I love the paused shot of the 2 of them looking at each other :) - I live in the UK- this is inspiring me to do a drive accross the USA rather than just city visit!
I usually don’t have the attention span for a movie. But I can watch EVERY hour++ vgg from start to finish! Thank you Derek and fam for the inspiration!
Same!! He's one of the few channels that are like here's the project we're working on today and this is all we're working on today It's not one of those ones that like oh here's this cool project but we're going to go to this other one we start at 8 months ago spend two-thirds of the video looking and talking about it and then we'll get back to the project that this video is about and it's just an awesome channel he has going on here
I go through these phases where I watch your videos for hours and hours. I love watching you and your family do this together. I’m glad you all have love in your life and that you seem to have a good time doing all of this. Keep it up!
That phase just hit me again this evening lol Watchin old episodes again that i haven't seen since they were uploaded. Almost like seeing them for the first time again 😄👍
Being a single dad, it makes me smile to see you sharing your time with your boys. Taking my son on a 3 hr road trip to go watch some drag racing in the morning. Also I remember as boy myself, my father was a mobile service mechanic, and it was the biggest joy when he would ask me to jump in the service truck with him to go fix a grader or snow plow some where. You keep on being you sir, thank you.
@@ViceGripGarage Its obvious you live that statement Derek. Your kids one day will be talking about you the way you talk about your grandpa. You are a great entertainer, but more importantly a great family man. Thank you for bringing that into so many lives on UA-cam.
My father died when I was three. I always had a hard time growing up on father's day watching other kids do stuff with their dads. Time with dad matters. Good on you Derrick.
I recently lost contact with my 14 and 15 year old boys, we were close, they helped me restore my mini and worked on my t4. I really love what you have with your son. Reminds me of better times. Beautiful
Don't know if the radio and equalizer will love that cleaning, but with the uncovererd driver seat the driver will definitely have the soggy bottom blues!
The radio might care...if it works. Otherwise, there isn't much in the way of electronics on those old diesels. If an EMP hit, they'd be the only vehicles that still run.
There is a reason why Derek and Family have such a large following. IMO, this is must watch TV. Excellent content, funny as all get out, great music selection and the down home feel goods without all the nasty know it all vibes and F-bombs. 841,000 subs can't be wrong. Right on Derek.
Agreed however this isnt tv this is a guy doing his thing tv is garbage witha budget to send the car to the moon whereas a guy is just a guy living his life
@@coal_minergaming4376 Derek is awesome and a true force to be reckoned with but he also no doubt doing ok with the UA-cam bucks coming in and deservedly so. Ever watch a live stream? They make bank.
I don't know what it is I like most about your videos, can't put my finger on it. Your way of interacting with the family, the wrenching, the unique vocabulary, or the road trips home. Every part is just awesome.
Never went on any road trips with my dad when I was young, but last summer we drove from Seattle to South Carolina...I might as well have been a kid again, that'll stick in the memory forever.
An old Scout revived, all the family helping out and a son's wish granted to take a roadtrip with his dad. For some reason my eyeball receptacles are over-lubricated, lol.
A great Dad, makes for a happy family. Blessings, Derek, for setting such a great example. It’s cool to see how wonderful your boys are turning out, after 2+ years of observing y’all. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing.
What a sweet and cool shot where a guy put his hand on his son's shoulder to reast his head, then he looked at him and both smiled. Almost brought tears to this guy who also is a dad! My son is about that same age. Priceless memories your making. Your a good man and father!
I can't tell if it's his style of humor that I like so much or the fact that i dont think you could put a vehicle in front of him that he doesn't know his way around. It's like he's a walking Chilton manual.
My dad has the pickup version of this truck with the same engine and transmission. I cannot wait until he decides he no longer wants it at this place and it can come home with me. His does not have much rust at all and the engine/transmission work great.
That sushi slicer must have been cutting onion's on the drive. You and you're son will remember that drive for ever. Made me miss my Dad, RIP 1933 to 2007 miss ya Pops.
The smile Dad would give me when he knew I was happy to be picking apples with him, feeding the chickens or helping him cut winters wood with his tractor saw rig. Oh God so many years ago. I’m 73 now.
As a dad to a 18 yr old son 1:03:05 hits me right in the feels man! Cherish the days when they are that age man! Before you know it they will be moving out to go to college. Beautiful father and son experience for you both!
well, not everyone wants collage... sometimes they'll want to go to a trade school, and they'll be home longer.. and you'll have more time for projects w them
Those Nissan diesels are SOLID!! Easy half million milers. The Bob Barker comment is especially funny today. RIP Bobby Boy!!! He came as close to $1 as possible without going over.
Internationals were made in my hometown, of Rock Island, Illinois. 35 years ago, they closed the doors of the IH Farmall Works, Rock Island, Illinois, on June 27, 1986.
Watching has been inspiring for me. I have a 1968 Chevelle I bought and started to restore. After 4 years of work and the tons of issues you discover on the way, I stopped working on her and she sat for a year. Watched several of these videos and seeing Derek make vehicles run and drive, I decided if he can get these forgotten vehicles going, then I can get this Chevelle drivable. After a long 6 months of none stop wrenching I took her out on her first voyage and Fathers day car show with my dad. She looks like she belongs on a Road Kill episode and still working out issues. Just want to thank you for the videos of inspiration.
It makes my heart glad to see a father involving his children. I do with my sons but my old man... well... he simply didn't bring on the thunder. Great job Derek.
I’ve been commenting all over hell and back on your channel since I found it lately. This is the kinda stuff this country needs more of, just honest good ole American humor and topics such as this. Too many idiots have gotten by with far too much lately. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Best episode so far, the father son bond is so strong, my dad has been gone for 6 years and he taught me so much about cars/mechanics I miss him every sec. Thanks for the video!
My dad passed 15 years ago and rarely a day passes when I don't think "dad would love that" or find myself saying things he said. I used to love just spending time with him, al his little jokes and those "don't tell mum" moments!
I like how two brothers can obviously be brothers due to their similarities in behaviours, yet be so different. Derek looks at the oil carefully, smells it, takes a lick and deconstructs the plethora of flavours carefully and eruditely Krang: snif snif lick.. _Brand new_ XD
I love when real personality pops through, especially when Chris is in the background and laughs. I wonder how hard it is for him to stay so quiet when on camera.
@@harleyquinn2864 Yes. Derrek calls him Crang, but in other videos, he refers to him as Chris. I called him Chris as I assume his friends and family call him Crang and I haven't had the pleasure to meet him yet.
Bentley has got to be one of the cutest and most pleasant travel companions a guy could have. Loved this episode of father-son bonding. Keep up the great work, Derek !
I still see my Dad wrenching on the cars out in the driveway.He was always ready to help me work on the next car I dragged home be it a camaro, mustang, or Jeep To him it didn't matter
I can't wait for when your son goes back to school , and has to write " What I did this Summer". I went with my Dad to pick up and drive back a 30 year Diesel powered International Scout 700 miles after sitting for 20 years in a field. He'll definitely get an A. Great video. And a very well behaved son.
The 1:03:11 mark in the video hit me right in the feelers big time, as a father to three boys it reminded of road trips with my kids. The smiles you gave each other shows the love between you and the memories will be eternal!! It’s crazy how time seems to go slow when they are little but it goes by so fast, it’s great seeing you spend that time with your kids and I can guarantee when they have kids of their own they will talk fondly of the road trips with you.
Derrick, I have a 1974 olds omega for you, about 10 mins from the freedom factory (my grandmother ran that track for years when it was desoto speedway, her daily driver was the 94 cobra pace car haha no joke)
@@terrys8978 with his frame, I'd say Chris needs about 3.24 craft cold snacks, or about 4.2 out of a 24-pack and that tounge'll start wagging like a hound dog when he sees his daddy.
@@ViceGripGarage he will never forget those times just like the trips with my pops soak it up there guy there will come a time when that little fella is out working and on his own and he will think back on all those times with dad
@@ViceGripGarage I gave my boy my 76 scout and I love working on it with him and I love seeing you with your boy loving on each other in your new old scout! Welcome to the scout family brother you are a great addition and a great father keep up the good work. P.S. I loved that you also had that old hymn leaning on the everlasting arms on this episode! I can’t stop watching and so appreciate your nice language of no profanity 😇🙌💯
My father never once owned a new vehicle. My mother did. I remember him driving us to school in a 1964 Ford Falcon in the late 1980s. Chalked paint and holes in the floor board. My dad would of loved your videos. I was your son in the passenger side back then. You would of liked my dad. Make the best memories with your kids. You remind me of my dad. I don’t really cry that often but man it’s getting dusty in here.
Brings back memories of my grandfather driving me around in his 1972 Scout II. I need to get it roadworthy, it has a brake leak and a radiator leak. Last time I toyed with it, I couldn't find where the brakes were leaking from but I'll give it another shot when I get the time. Perhaps I'll make a video out of it. It's been sitting since 2013 and the thing really is as mint as can be, not a spot of rust, no dents at all. Update: I replaced the rear brake hose, and the radiator. The new rad is slightly taller than the original, so I need to make a bracket for the fan shroud, then it’ll be ready to go. Really excited to drive it again.
As a former Scout II owner watch out for the upper tailgate hinges. They tend to tear out. Also, the body rarely gets hail damage as it's extra thick steel. They only had about 15 or 20 different key sets. Also, the drag link tends to get loose so your front end drifts a lot. I've known several teetotaler owners who got pulled over for suspected drunk driving.
We had a 78 Scout Traveler and it was the absolute worst handling vehicle I've ever drove. I don't miss that thing at all, but it was nice to take a trip down memory lane watching this video.
Always love it when you bring a rig back to life but seeing you spend the on the road time with your boy was my favorite part and the song "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms " was also a real treat ! I hope and pray that you and your family know who's everlasting arms the song is referring to. I came to Jesus Christ 16 years ago and it's the only decision in this life that has eternal results. As always love your channel.
Just a dad with his youngster in an awesome old diesel cruising through some of the most beautiful scenery. A fella can't describe a piece of Heaven better....
You're not only a great mechanical fixer upper but also a great Dad! Keep up the great work and sharing your videos. Thanks for all the effort you put in.
When I was younger I used to party, but now a guy's gotten older. A good Friday night is listening to a guy talk about car stuff. I'm 96.42% sure this is more funner.
Just so you know, I subscribed after the first five minutes of the first video of yours I was watching, 100 plus video’s later your content only gets better! Had my daddy not died in an accident when I was 9yo I think this is what my life would’ve been with my dad! Bentley and Derek please stay safe and keep on trucking together!!!
Okay, That one still shot of you and your boy having a bonding moment in this Scout was really wholesome and lowkey made me cry because of just how wholesome it was.
71+ year old retired Kansas farmer and business person here. Another educational and entertaining video. If you think that vehicle is gutless, think again. In 1977 a friend of mine bought a new Scout with the Chrysler-Nissan normally aspirated diesel. The design of that engine was a join project of Chrysler and Nissan because because IH couldn’t come up with exactly what they wanted of their own design at that time. The CN-633 was the result. It got great fuel mileage (32+ mpg) which was great considering that we were in the middle of the gasoline shortage crisis at that time BUT it was high geared for speed capability and so woefully under powered that it could barely pull itself over a small hill ( I may be exaggerating a little here) without an assist from a helper locomotive. I think it had something like 2.72 gears in those two big iron pumpkins on either end of the vehicle. I don’t remember what he changed it to in order for it to carry a load over the mountains on one of his hunting trips to the west or the great north lands but IH did not volunteer to supply the two sets of ring gears and pinions. He was not happy about that but never had any other problems with it as far as I can remember but that was now 47 years ago and we moved away from that location while I was young and he was already middle aged. I always envied him having that Scout diesel. It’s the only one I have ever seen.😊
Back in the day when a younger feller was a nissan mechanic, he got to work on one of these engines. It was a real treat. Thanks for picking up this classic 4wd
I remember taking similar rides with my pa in such treasured jalopies from places with 3 digit populations. Nice you sharing the time with the young feller. Makes me miss my pa.
During this pandemic I have been watching stuff on You Tube that I would never watch. I have seen car guys by the thousands, but nobody, NOBODY, is as good as Derek and Company. This has to be the best fun with cars, ever. Thanks Derek for the really good entertainment. Great job, all around. Yeah, you have fans in Switzerland, can you believe that.

Great, wished my mom cuda said that 😁
@@sandyadams9446 Sandy, you've got a Mom in your heart! Her name is "Holy Spirit" and She's sayin that STILL
Thats so awesome! I got my son into building engines.......he went to school for it......its weird having your 24 year old be a better mechanic than you. Lol
My 15 year old daughter has the gearhead gene. She wants to do auto body. Super proud of her. I'll do all the mechanical and she can do the body work. Can't wait!
I nearly busted a gut at hearing Leaning on the Everlasting Arms playing after saying it had no oil pressure but you didn't hear any knocking on heaven's door. Talk about the humor on display.
My Dad didn't used to notice that I was around when I was a kid.
It's only now that he is 79 and I'm 55 that he gives me the time of day.
Thanks for showing us all how it could've been Derek and Bentley.
Keep on trucking bud .
Dont take it that bad, there are just some people,who have a hard time relating to kids and are more confortable with them when they're older. At least he's opened up to you and you have the here and now to make things meaningful.
I had a hard time being anything other then a provider for my step kids. It took till they got to be adults that I could finally be open and free with them. I feel for you, but we as parents don’t always get it right. I always paid the bills, just never paid enough attention because I was never comfortable till now. Better late then never. Much love man
Almost the same here. but for the last 12 years, I have been talking to my dad everyday for hours per day and we have been catching up , he's 77 and I'm 55 . I feel you sir! it is never to late , It does bring a tear to my eye , but it is better than nothing , and some never get what we even have . You sir , keep on trucking.
I'm lucky my dad and I were like two peas in a pod. Same sense of humor. Pretty much the same person just 18 years apart
I feel ya! My Dad was a career military man. 30 years in the Army deployed all over the world. He hardly noticed that we existed (or so it seemed most of the time). Even after I joined the Army myself we had little to do with each other. Today we are both retired. I moved to Texas 23 years ago after a big blow up fight with him. He did come to Texas for my wedding 11 years ago though. A couple years ago I went to Kentucky to take him on a fishing trip, and he kinda just blew that off. Last week, I drove up again to pick up an old RV that he decided to give me about 5 years ago. Just like Derek does give her a good once over, change or top off some fluids, air up the tires and hope for the best! 1800 mile round trip with my son in law! A trip he'll never forget! Break the mold and scatter the pieces! I include my kids and my grand kids and they love to include me!
My heart almost burst when you and your son gave each other that Smile, the one that speaks of all the love you have for each other. Your son is very blessed to have a Dad such as yourself that loves him that much and you are blessed to have a son that loves you equally. Not everyone has that. God bless you and your family Sir. John here, from the back-roads of Tennessee. :)>
1:03:11 ... Yeah, ya got a 60 y.o. man here wonderin' who's cuttin' onions.
Did a couple of road trips with my son when he was 10-12 years old. A little camping, a little fishing and lots of bonding. He calls me everyday…..he’s 35! Keep it up Derek.
I'm one of those kids who would would have loved this lifestyle my dad's brothers were identical to this and it didn't catch with my dad but once in a while I would sneak into the garage and get cut up on sharp exposed metal and 2 years ago that car that cut me to pecies in my hands and knees as a 5 year old was almost mint after a 6 year restoration in a local show and shine 3 decades later was a feeling that I won't ever forget even though I wasn't ever invited to be involved with them
Yep also gave a fella the warm and fuzzies like a big slug of black velvets
Hearty agreement
Turbo diesel Scout - rare. Road trip with son - priceless.
A SCOUT??? With a NISSAN diesel????? I didn't even know Nissan made a diesel.
@@if66was99 yep. And international made very few of these with diesels. Thats why Derek said he was gonna keep it. He is probably gonna fix all the rust and make it run and drive perfect. Its so valuable in the amazing shape its in.
@@if66was99 Nissan pick ups came in diesel in the 80's
Why were the diesel variants so rare? From what I've read, a diesel engine produces more torque then a gasoline engine.
Torque is something that I would want in something that is made for off-road use.
@@mikeholland1031 Why don't they make a diesel anymore?
This is one of my top ten revivals. International scout with the NISSAN turbo diesel what a fantastic combination. Great to see the whole family working on the rig.

Yup...how did Dad and I do this and not die? Got memories like this with my dad and uncles. All good ones, too. Tons of fun.
One of many Vice Grippers to be! Happy to Sub to that, will be good to hear him spread the family Vice Grips!!! :D Oh yeah, I gotta sub the Vice Grip Lodge ! Good Night!
'Dad .... are we there yet ?'.
I love the paused shot of the 2 of them looking at each other :) - I live in the UK- this is inspiring me to do a drive accross the USA rather than just city visit!
@@vtallbloke honestly damn near brought a tear to my eye as I had my 2 kids cuddled up with me while I was watching it.
The Father and Son moment part way through the trip was heartwarming and priceless.
I usually don’t have the attention span for a movie. But I can watch EVERY hour++ vgg from start to finish! Thank you Derek and fam for the inspiration!
Same!! He's one of the few channels that are like here's the project we're working on today and this is all we're working on today It's not one of those ones that like oh here's this cool project but we're going to go to this other one we start at 8 months ago spend two-thirds of the video looking and talking about it and then we'll get back to the project that this video is about and it's just an awesome channel he has going on here
Making dad & son Summer memories for a lifetime. That’s priceless
My son was born only a few hours ago and watching you two do this together gets me excited about the journey ahead with my own little guy :)
Congratulations! Hope mom and son are healthy.
Congratulations David! Enjoy the adventure and savor every day. The time will fly by.
@@WhatIsYourMalfunction they are healthy! Thank you.
@@AudioOrchardMusic better start accumulating on these dad jokes now!! Congrats!
@David Robinson CONGRATULATIONS David, best of Health to ALL of YOU!!!
I go through these phases where I watch your videos for hours and hours. I love watching you and your family do this together. I’m glad you all have love in your life and that you seem to have a good time doing all of this. Keep it up!
Lovely
That phase just hit me again this evening lol Watchin old episodes again that i haven't seen since they were uploaded. Almost like seeing them for the first time again 😄👍
Being a single dad, it makes me smile to see you sharing your time with your boys. Taking my son on a 3 hr road trip to go watch some drag racing in the morning. Also I remember as boy myself, my father was a mobile service mechanic, and it was the biggest joy when he would ask me to jump in the service truck with him to go fix a grader or snow plow some where. You keep on being you sir, thank you.
Awesome- memories are everything
@@ViceGripGarage Its obvious you live that statement Derek. Your kids one day will be talking about you the way you talk about your grandpa. You are a great entertainer, but more importantly a great family man. Thank you for bringing that into so many lives on UA-cam.
My father died when I was three. I always had a hard time growing up on father's day watching other kids do stuff with their dads. Time with dad matters. Good on you Derrick.
"Yep. She's higher than Willie Nelson" - I'm adding that one to the Sayings section in the Derek Wiki.
I recently lost contact with my 14 and 15 year old boys, we were close, they helped me restore my mini and worked on my t4. I really love what you have with your son. Reminds me of better times. Beautiful
"We'll spray this thing out gently"
*sprays violently into the radio and dash as if electronics don't exist*
His sarcasm never gets old 😂
Don't know if the radio and equalizer will love that cleaning, but with the uncovererd driver seat the driver will definitely have the soggy bottom blues!
@@kukipett that's exactly what i was saying
There was quite a bit of deb-bris caught up in the ol Kraco...
I didn't know you can make something temporarily permanent!!!!!
The radio might care...if it works. Otherwise, there isn't much in the way of electronics on those old diesels. If an EMP hit, they'd be the only vehicles that still run.
The still shot of Dad and his boy brought a watering eye to this separated father currently without his younguns. I felt the love
Agreed
I just blamed the pollen in the air and pretended it didn't happen....
There is nothing better than watching VGG with a cold snack and enjoying seeing these old girls come back to life ..
Your a good man Charlie Brown. Watch that in 20 years . GOD BLESS
There is a reason why Derek and Family have such a large following. IMO, this is must watch TV. Excellent content, funny as all get out, great music selection and the down home feel goods without all the nasty know it all vibes and F-bombs. 841,000 subs can't be wrong. Right on Derek.
Agreed however this isnt tv this is a guy doing his thing tv is garbage witha budget to send the car to the moon whereas a guy is just a guy living his life
@@coal_minergaming4376 TV was just a descriptive word I used. Just like Derek says spark-a-laters, fuel make it happeners and a Tonya Harding.
@@coal_minergaming4376 Derek is awesome and a true force to be reckoned with but he also no doubt doing ok with the UA-cam bucks coming in and deservedly so. Ever watch a live stream? They make bank.
UK based here but the humour from over the pond with Derek is spot on. Really enjoy the videos. Keep it up!!
Lmao a guy just being a guy raising his family up right! Love the father son moment at 55 minutes in
The most amazing part of that road trip home was the fact that the kid didn't have his face buried in a cell phone the entire way. Well done.
and how much he looks like his dad, mannerisms and all?
You can fix kids and cell phones by snatching as needed
Agreed ✅
@@steinbauge4591 2ww

That boy is so lucky, he's just like his mom. VERY NICE.
I don't know what it is I like most about your videos, can't put my finger on it. Your way of interacting with the family, the wrenching, the unique vocabulary, or the road trips home. Every part is just awesome.
This Scout is so cool, I had no idea they had a Nissan Diesel powered Scout 2, unicorn material!
Never went on any road trips with my dad when I was young, but last summer we drove from Seattle to South Carolina...I might as well have been a kid again, that'll stick in the memory forever.
An old Scout revived, all the family helping out and a son's wish granted to take a roadtrip with his dad. For some reason my eyeball receptacles are over-lubricated, lol.
A great Dad, makes for a happy family. Blessings, Derek, for setting such a great example. It’s cool to see how wonderful your boys are turning out, after 2+ years of observing y’all. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing.
Giving the boy memories he will never forget!...Your a good man!
What a sweet and cool shot where a guy put his hand on his son's shoulder to reast his head, then he looked at him and both smiled. Almost brought tears to this guy who also is a dad! My son is about that same age. Priceless memories your making. Your a good man and father!
whos else says quietly to themselves "yes!" when they see the video is over an hour?
Me.....
Bro, as soon as I finish watching the episode ,. I'm checking the calendar for the new episode. " A fella just loves this channel"
Then think "I have to wait till later when I can have some food and not have to answer the door..."
He certainly puts a smile on ya face
Yupp always! Cold snack mode engaged!
I've said it before you are a great dad today is Father's day 2022 happy Father's day🙂🙂🙂🙂
The "just gonna pretend i didn't see that" phrase never gets old
A kid's gonna remember this for the rest of his life. Another great one Derek, thanks.
Does anyone else strictly watch him for his outstanding display of the vehicular commentary. Love it boss keep it up !
Yes and because he's crazy like me 🤣😅
Ya know they have 12 step programs for Simps like you
I can't tell if it's his style of humor that I like so much or the fact that i dont think you could put a vehicle in front of him that he doesn't know his way around. It's like he's a walking Chilton manual.
Best vocabulary ive ever stumbled across 👌👌

My dad has the pickup version of this truck with the same engine and transmission. I cannot wait until he decides he no longer wants it at this place and it can come home with me. His does not have much rust at all and the engine/transmission work great.
That sushi slicer must have been cutting onion's on the drive. You and you're son will remember that drive for ever. Made me miss my Dad, RIP 1933 to 2007 miss ya Pops.
This video made me a bit misty...now I miss my dad. Thanks for “the feels”, this video really had some touching moments
The smile Dad would give me when he knew I was happy to be picking apples with him, feeding the chickens or helping him cut winters wood with his tractor saw rig. Oh God so many years ago. I’m 73 now.
As a dad to a 18 yr old son 1:03:05 hits me right in the feels man! Cherish the days when they are that age man! Before you know it they will be moving out to go to college. Beautiful father and son experience for you both!
well, not everyone wants collage... sometimes they'll want to go to a trade school, and they'll be home longer.. and you'll have more time for projects w them
When the video paused it got me too.
I wish I had moments like that with my father... he had other priorities...
Man. Me too. Made me cry. That's what it's all about. The time spent is the most important thing
That's a great picture.
Those Nissan diesels are SOLID!! Easy half million milers. The Bob Barker comment is especially funny today. RIP Bobby Boy!!! He came as close to $1 as possible without going over.
Internationals were made in my hometown, of Rock Island, Illinois. 35 years ago, they closed the doors of the IH Farmall Works, Rock Island, Illinois, on June 27, 1986.
All good things have an ending
Watching has been inspiring for me. I have a 1968 Chevelle I bought and started to restore. After 4 years of work and the tons of issues you discover on the way, I stopped working on her and she sat for a year. Watched several of these videos and seeing Derek make vehicles run and drive, I decided if he can get these forgotten vehicles going, then I can get this Chevelle drivable. After a long 6 months of none stop wrenching I took her out on her first voyage and Fathers day car show with my dad. She looks like she belongs on a Road Kill episode and still working out issues. Just want to thank you for the videos of inspiration.
It makes my heart glad to see a father involving his children. I do with my sons but my old man... well... he simply didn't bring on the thunder. Great job Derek.
Dad of the year in my book so cool to see the boy come along
I’ve been commenting all over hell and back on your channel since I found it lately. This is the kinda stuff this country needs more of, just honest good ole American humor and topics such as this.
Too many idiots have gotten by with far too much lately. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Best episode so far, the father son bond is so strong, my dad has been gone for 6 years and he taught me so much about cars/mechanics I miss him every sec. Thanks for the video!
Road trips with my dad when he was working were some of my best memories of him.Hes been gone 40 years now... this was an excellent episode!!
My dad passed 15 years ago and rarely a day passes when I don't think "dad would love that" or find myself saying things he said. I used to love just spending time with him, al his little jokes and those "don't tell mum" moments!
A guy and his son on their first rescue mission to save an SD33. I loved this episode! One of my favorites so far!
I like how two brothers can obviously be brothers due to their similarities in behaviours, yet be so different.
Derek looks at the oil carefully, smells it, takes a lick and deconstructs the plethora of flavours carefully and eruditely
Krang: snif snif lick.. _Brand new_
XD
It’s just ridiculous how perfect this channel is.
I love when real personality pops through, especially when Chris is in the background and laughs. I wonder how hard it is for him to stay so quiet when on camera.
is chris the one in overalls and is he his brother?
@@harleyquinn2864 Yes. Derrek calls him Crang, but in other videos, he refers to him as Chris. I called him Chris as I assume his friends and family call him Crang and I haven't had the pleasure to meet him yet.
Great to see the young man pumped for the road trip. Best part, I didn't see a device in his hand.
"Now we just sit here, for.....forever. That's fine" Love it, making memories with the boy. He'll remember this for the rest of his life.
Thanks Derek for providing some wholesome content. This is definitely motivating me to do some more day trips with the fam.
Bag of softener salt was probably what I call “Midwestern traction control”
Could be!

Love the fact he's as chilled as his dad :)
@@therealdundarach yah I love how there both so calm
I still see my Dad wrenching on the cars out in the driveway.He was always ready to help me work on the next car I dragged home be it a camaro, mustang, or Jeep To him it didn't matter
JUST REWATCHING SOME OLD VIDEOS, MAN BENTLEY HAS GROWN UP IN THREE YEARS. IT'S KINDA COOL TO VIZIT THESE OLDER VIDEOS. 👍✌
I want to thank Jessica for giving the thumbs up to Bentley's ride-along. He seems to have his uncle's quiet personality when in front of the camera.
That little human will remember that trip for the rest of his life.
I can't wait for when your son goes back to school , and has to write " What I did this Summer". I went with my Dad to pick up and drive back a 30 year Diesel powered International Scout 700 miles after sitting for 20 years in a field. He'll definitely get an A. Great video. And a very well behaved son.
Yahtzee, right there.
The 1:03:11 mark in the video hit me right in the feelers big time, as a father to three boys it reminded of road trips with my kids.
The smiles you gave each other shows the love between you and the memories will be eternal!!
It’s crazy how time seems to go slow when they are little but it goes by so fast, it’s great seeing you spend that time with your kids and I can guarantee when they have kids of their own they will talk fondly of the road trips with you.
My father passed away over two years ago and I miss stuff like this. 😢
Unfortunately, the other half of the population, lets technology and ideologies raise their kids. You know the kind I’m talking. 😅
And that's how memories are made good job
Man, what do I love this show, now even more with the little buddy around…
Derrick, I have a 1974 olds omega for you, about 10 mins from the freedom factory (my grandmother ran that track for years when it was desoto speedway, her daily driver was the 94 cobra pace car haha no joke)

Absolutely loved Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
Kid is gettin raised right he said" thank you" when the old man gave him pizza
My daughters first words were thank you believe it or not. Then, “hey dad,” yelling at me in the garage.

The most polite kid I ever met grew up to kill his two sisters and is now in prison for life. What’s your point?
Good thing about working with Chris is no need to run a second mic.
Hahaha.
Chris is awesome
I kinda wonder if you got a couple of beers in him if he would be a little more talkative.
@@terrys8978 with his frame, I'd say Chris needs about 3.24 craft cold snacks, or about 4.2 out of a 24-pack and that tounge'll start wagging like a hound dog when he sees his daddy.

I can’t stop watching and so appreciate your nice language of no profanity 😇🙌💯
My father never once owned a new vehicle. My mother did. I remember him driving us to school in a 1964 Ford Falcon in the late 1980s. Chalked paint and holes in the floor board.
My dad would of loved your videos. I was your son in the passenger side back then. You would of liked my dad. Make the best memories with your kids. You remind me of my dad. I don’t really cry that often but man it’s getting dusty in here.
"Brand new" might be the most your brother has ever said on camera
Like Penn and Teller.

@@ryansmifh Pretty sure his name is Chris... Derrek calls him Krang I think, as in caveman... ??
@@Rational_Party Or Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon
Brings back memories of my grandfather driving me around in his 1972 Scout II. I need to get it roadworthy, it has a brake leak and a radiator leak. Last time I toyed with it, I couldn't find where the brakes were leaking from but I'll give it another shot when I get the time. Perhaps I'll make a video out of it. It's been sitting since 2013 and the thing really is as mint as can be, not a spot of rust, no dents at all.
Update: I replaced the rear brake hose, and the radiator. The new rad is slightly taller than the original, so I need to make a bracket for the fan shroud, then it’ll be ready to go. Really excited to drive it again.
that is awesome
As a former Scout II owner watch out for the upper tailgate hinges. They tend to tear out. Also, the body rarely gets hail damage as it's extra thick steel. They only had about 15 or 20 different key sets. Also, the drag link tends to get loose so your front end drifts a lot. I've known several teetotaler owners who got pulled over for suspected drunk driving.
We had a 78 Scout Traveler and it was the absolute worst handling vehicle I've ever drove. I don't miss that thing at all, but it was nice to take a trip down memory lane watching this video.
Always love it when you bring a rig back to life but seeing you spend the on the road time with your boy was my favorite part and the song "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms " was also a real treat ! I hope and pray that you and your family know who's everlasting arms the song is referring to.
I came to Jesus Christ 16 years ago and it's the only decision in this life that has eternal results. As always love your channel.
Amen, Brother. That is my prayer, too.🙏🏻 ✝️
Just a dad with his youngster in an awesome old diesel cruising through some of the most beautiful scenery. A fella can't describe a piece of Heaven better....

Had my daddy not died in an accident when I was 9yo I think this is what my life would’ve been with my dad! Bentley and Derek please stay safe and keep on trucking together!!!

Okay, That one still shot of you and your boy having a bonding moment in this Scout was really wholesome and lowkey made me cry because of just how wholesome it was.
An actual guy who can repair not just replace one of the best I’ve ever seen .
I’m sure that the first road trip with dad will there for a while in the old memory banks
71+ year old retired Kansas farmer and business person here. Another educational and entertaining video. If you think that vehicle is gutless, think again. In 1977 a friend of mine bought a new Scout with the Chrysler-Nissan normally aspirated diesel. The design of that engine was a join project of Chrysler and Nissan because because IH couldn’t come up with exactly what they wanted of their own design at that time. The CN-633 was the result. It got great fuel mileage (32+ mpg) which was great considering that we were in the middle of the gasoline shortage crisis at that time BUT it was high geared for speed capability and so woefully under powered that it could barely pull itself over a small hill ( I may be exaggerating a little here) without an assist from a helper locomotive. I think it had something like 2.72 gears in those two big iron pumpkins on either end of the vehicle. I don’t remember what he changed it to in order for it to carry a load over the mountains on one of his hunting trips to the west or the great north lands but IH did not volunteer to supply the two sets of ring gears and pinions. He was not happy about that but never had any other problems with it as far as I can remember but that was now 47 years ago and we moved away from that location while I was young and he was already middle aged. I always envied him having that Scout diesel. It’s the only one I have ever seen.😊
I couldn’t believe he licked the suction cup. I love the patina on it.
A guy likes how it rains inside that garage ... Perfect.
Back in the day when a younger feller was a nissan mechanic, he got to work on one of these engines. It was a real treat. Thanks for picking up this classic 4wd
Hey man if you didn't know the time you're spending with sonny boy is time you will never forget lov it

Nice you sharing the time with the young feller. Makes me miss my pa.
During this pandemic I have been watching stuff on You Tube that I would never watch. I have seen car guys by the thousands, but nobody, NOBODY, is as good as Derek and Company. This has to be the best fun with cars, ever. Thanks Derek for the really good entertainment. Great job, all around. Yeah, you have fans in Switzerland, can you believe that.
