    In 1986 I started my construction company w/ a 1965 F-100 as my 1st company truck after buying all the tools and equipment I needed to build homes.. It was a little rough, but it was all I could afford and it was a work horse. It has now has a frame up restoration. 59 years later it looks like it just rolled off of the Show Room Floor in 1965. Love It !!

    In 1980, I bought a brand new F150 with the Ranger trim level. It had the 300 six and a T-18 4-speed. I bought it like that mainly for economy but the more I drove it the more I liked it. It is still my favorite combination! I'm glad you're keeping the six; it's a great engine and will work harder than it sometimes gets credit for!

      When I was 3, I was under my Dad's 1950 Willys Panel Delivery "helping" him (slowing him down I'm sure) with the exhaust system. Fast forward to when my oldest son bought a 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria for $550 as his first car with over 160K miles on it and he had to work on just about every system on that car during the next 5-6 years while he put another 80K miles on it. He's now 28 years old and married but he still has the Ford Crown Vic and it still runs well and it's his favorite car! Wrenching on your own vehicles builds character and helps you to understand the value of things and money and hard work. Derek, thanks for sharing your wrenching with your family with us.

    Derek's a good dad, those kids are more lucky than they'll ever know. My own dad, as well meaning as he was, would have already lost his patience with me several times instead of taking the time to teach me these things. Example, I only recently learned how to use those chain hooks myself because I'd never seen them before. Derek is patient and takes the time to put down the camera and demonstrate to him how it slips over a single chain link; if I hadn't immediately figured it out on my own, my dad would have gotten mad at me for it. Dads like Derek are a rare gift.

    Great to see the two boys working under the F100 . I'm Australian and when in my mid teens my dad had a '68 F100 and later traded it for a '72 model both fitted with the 240 six. Every Saturday he got me to crawl under the ute and lubricate the grease nipples. I was skinnier in those days and had plenty of room under the vehicle. Years later my dad told me that the F100 didnt need to be lubricated every week, but he wanted to give me something to do and get my hands dirty and learn about caring for vehicles. He has long passed and as i approach 70 I still think about him every time i see a F100, and the life lessons he instilled He'd be 100 this year.

    30 over new 10:1 flat top pistons, recon the rods, new cam (even if it stock) lifters and deck the block and head.
    Reassembly and no worries to for the new owner. I'm in my 70's and I've been drag racing and have a shop for over 50 years
    Its worth the money for the rebuild.

    A feller loves each and every one of your videos, but the ones like this that include the family are some of the best you’ve produced. Makes a feller wish he had this kind of bond with my old man. Cheers 🍻 to you and yours. Sure do appreciate you all.

Still one of my fondest memories from childhood. My dad passed a few years ago and watching this episode brought a tear to my eye.

    I bought a truck just like this in 1985. I just got divorced and had 3 children. I was a single lady and every one thought I was crazy. First thing I ever owned that I paid cash for. Loved that truck. Drove it everywhere until someone hit me from behind. Saved my life but was never the same after that. I love your shows. My husband got me stuck on you. Thanks for what you do.

    • @jeepinspence

      One of my friends in Jr high lived with his recently divorced Mom. She purchased a nice pea green fully loaded 73 f100 xlt lariat for the main car for the two kids and herself. She said she loved how the cab heated up so well and so quickly, and how it seemed so strong and dependable (there’s something deeper there) and safe. I recall he and I walked to a local convenience store at twilight and she was to pick us up after work. It was a cold winter sunset in Illinois and I can still feel the warmth of that cab that just seemed to envelop me as I slid in. She was right there was something so cozy comfortable and safe feeling. I ended up buying one very much like it when I was 16 in 1982. I traded a 76 firebird that was eye catching but just helpless in the snow, for the 74 f100 xlt in a medium olive green and all the chrome and bells and whistles. What a good truck that was I put many miles on it past 100 k when no one seemed to do that. I spent all my graduation money on rebuilding the heads at 80k mi as they were starting to puff smoke a little. I don’t regret that decision. I miss that truck.

    What a pleasure to see the three of you working together! Derek laid-off the humor (mostly) to straight-talk with his boys and get the motor out and partially disassembled.

If anyone ever wonders how to be a great Dad, positive roll model, and a great influence on your Sons, well pat close attention to Derrick, he is from everything ive seen over the years how a Father should be and how you should treat your boys. Ive seen him off camera, and he is no different. He doesn't put on an act for appearance sake. He is just an awesome human being and from what I can tell, he and Jessica are doing it right. Those are 3 boys who will have respect, morals, and integrity. 3 very important values that most people today have no clue what those words mean. Derrick keep doing what your doing, you are a true inspiration.
