That freeze frame of hugging your boy hit me in the feels. Goes to show where your priorities lie. Not only are you a great dad, but you don't mind showing it. That moment could just as easily been edited out and saved for your own personal use but instead was cast into your already great vids. Your family is a shining example for the rest of us to see.
Yep that got me too great father!
I guess these videos will still be up decades from now - its going to be great looking back.
🤢🤮
That's the precise moment I hit the like button
Yep, eye mistin’ moment for me. Great dad moment!
I love the “will it run” videos but seeing you actually “restore” a rig is such a nice change. Especially one this clean! Can’t wait to watch every video and see what Jessica has in store for the interior
Yeah soon he is going to have them boys making it run an he stays in the shop cleaning them up Derek is awesome now
The will it run is a popular tag. I can't say I do only crank it and yank it. I like getting an old unloved car and getting it some kind of shiny.
My late husband was my built in mechanic and body restoration guy. 13 years gone. I watch his life lived vicariously through you. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
♥️♥️
God Bless You Ma’am, I’m Certainly Sorry For Your Loss.
@@bandit3242 Thank you. ❤
@@michaeltablet8577 Thank you. ❤
Man I love this guy!
All about the original! And a family man! That hug with his boy was awesome!
Moreover he isn’t about the expensive stuff! The homegrown elbow grease and work!
I love the truck and a “catch 27”lol witty too!
Your awesome man keep up the good work!
Love to have a beer or coffee with this guy!
That one quick snapshot of you, hugging your son…priceless! Made this old fella tear up! I love how close you are to your boys…some of us never had this kind of relationship with our fathers. You’re a wonderful father!
I was going ask where's Bentley, he's normally right up with the body restorations? I guess school happens, good to see him.
It’s one of (the many) aspects that makes this channel special and above many of the others. (I teared up too).
Excellent video! Always nice to see someone hug their kids, that's soooo important.
23:10 I'm British - my father never hugged me or told me he loved me, although he did shake my hand once - that's why some of us come across as a bit cold sometimes. This was the 1960s so I think that sort of nonsense is passing nowadays here. I'd be interested to here from Americans my age, 60+, how their fathers were.
Always good to get a bit of good Dad Derek showing the priorities!
This rig was a great find and I'm so happy that you're bringing her back to life! Paint looks fantastic compared to what you started out with. BTW, every time I see it I can't help but think how much it looks like good old Uncle Jesse's truck on Dukes of Hazzard. Keep up the great work!
I was thinking Uncle Jesse would be the perfect name for this truck.
@@countryautobody7079 YUP!!
@@countryautobody7079 great name
@@countryautobody7079 I'll 2nd that.. 🤚
Hell yea. Great name!
Derek you have taught me two things over these videos that resound with me, one hard work will pay off eventually and the second is if you can share your passion with the next generation. It makes it all the more worth it
The most wonderful part of our channel to me is seeing the gentle dad you are with your boys! You can tell they just want to be near you and the way you include them and lovingly teach them with forever shape the man they become. God Bless!!!
That poor old truck is blessed to have had the chance to be brought back to life by an amazing revivalist. She's coming along nicely! Looking forward to the interior video...keep em coming, and happy new year!
The truck is blessed? Lmao
Interior next...and I think you should name the truck "Uncle Jesse"
@@ROKmadness it could've continued to sit in a field and rusted to scrap metal....
"They're only original once" I completely agree! That thing looks amazing all shined up! I'll take lightly weathered original paint over a cheap respray any day. Thanks for sharing your paint restoration process!
i lost my father my sophomore year of high school, he taught me how to wrench and appreciate the simple things that can be made into something amazing with a little work. im 27 now, and this channel has brought joy to my heart that i havent felt since those days. i cant wait to bring my own little ones into this world to keep that joy going. thank you VGG
sad

Nice Job Eric
Big ford fan here this feller is. Happy to see some blue oval love!
Great job! Really brought that old Ford back around, and that's sayin something coming from a GM guy. The hug from the kiddo about got to me. I love being a dad and those kinda hugs from your little fellars are the absolute best thing in the world.
My thoughts exactly, as a father of 3 little humans the hug got me to❤️😅
That ol Ferd is DEFINITELY a great machine. Your son will truly enjoy driving that reliable rig!!! 👍 Also Derek, thank you for the quality content and I want to wish you and yours the very best of things for this year and many more to come.
Thanks for watching!
@@ViceGripGarage I don’t miss an episode!! Heck, I’m gonna rewatch the sriracha/mayonnaise buffalating again!! 👍😬
Thought you escaped the snow didntcha?
@@jeffkersten5076 It's minus 17 Fahrenheit or minus 27 celsius for us Ontario fellers, so I'm thinking Derek is winning.
Did he say rain ? I'm crying frozen tears.
Can we order a flannel like that online by chance?
THIS ONE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!!!! I spent years riding through the north hills of pittsburg with my granddad in a white F100, his old pickup and I learned a lot from my old idol about the outdoors and life in general , thank you very much for the most wonderful memories I have had in over 50 years. god bless you and your family you are a true man and I appreciate you
Derek, you are a great Dad and a Hell of an American. It's been a ride watching the channel grow over the past few years. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
That's a going to town rig Uncle Jesse would be proud of!!!
Glad you chose to clean the exterior first. Also, appreciate the, "It's original only once," philosophy. No need to worry about dings and minor dents because they are part of the truck's unique story. It's no longer from a cookie cutter assembly line.
Best part?? 23:10. The hug from the son. Boy do I love a hug from my 6 year old son. They are so small only for so long. ❤❤
I never tire of watching this talented and industrious Fellah reviving old cars and pickups. Another really good looking American pickup truck rescued from obsolescence. Bravo and thank you for sharing the journey Derek. All the best from sunny Wellington, New Zealand.
Can’t wait to see the interior work! Also my vote for a name would be “Shepard” uncle Jessie’s cb handle. Thanks for the great vid!
"Lost sheep to Shepard"
Yes.
I'll second that. Needs a CB, though!
Ah man the little pause camera shutter got me right in my fatherly feels. Really doing what you intended for the channel: bringing cars and families together. You're the man. I'm gonna hug my kids extra tight tomorrow, just cause.
He is working magic in lots of families for sure. Hugs are awesome.
I was amazed that when you were pressure washing, that the window seals didn't leak.
I love the way you are restoring this truck, Derek. Great job! I would leave the dents and dings in the truck, especially for a daily driver. They tell a story of a truck that lived a life of work and they are a badge of honor. By shining her up, keeping her running and using her every day you are keeping that old truck's soul alive. Thanks for doing this and sharing it!
Love to see the family involved! Already got my 6 year old granddaughter helping out with grampie's bumpy truck.
She's only original once. Great job preserving this gem. Thanks Derek!
Vice grip has given me hours of entertainment while my wife is deployed over seas and while I'm wrenching on my own rust bucket. I really appreciate the content you put out.
This old Ford is a true gem, such a great find. The more you work on it, the more I am amazed by it. Original paint, miles, bumper etc it just looks to good to be true. But its got to be I'm looking at it, glad this one found you. Now it will get what it deserves, I don't care what comes next, I am already eager to see it! Thanks for the episode, and see you in a week!
Looks awesome. I'm a Chevy man at heart but I really do love the style of these old F100s, and that 6 shooter was hard to kill. I had a buddy who sank his deep in a waterhole. Took over a week to get it pulled out, but not for the lack of trying. He ended up lifting it straight out with a crane. He changed all the fluids a few times. It sounded like a Cummins diesel from then on but it ran another 12 years until he sold it. Will probably outlive us all.
Interior! One reason I love fixing up old pickemups is the interior is reasonable..not a lot of real estate in there! Looking forward to seeing Jessica put her touch on it. Maybe even a modest sound system? I've also seen those factree Ford rims widened with some dog dish poverty caps looking good on those trucks.
A widened set of stocks on the back would be killer on this old truck!
The seats definitely need work
Busted!!! the camera caught you lovin on the bentley.. Nice work dad. it tickled me that you have improved in your display of affection. the close up of bentley showed a pretty happy boy.
Nice results! Another great time with the old Ford. Great start to another year, thanks. Your videos have gotten me through almost two years of bad health, lost business, family crises, and hanging on to a job the whole time that I never should have taken. I'm pretty sure I look forward to your content more than most, but there's a lot of us out here, and we're thankful to you and your family for everything you do. Thanks again!
Yep, without doubt one of the best structural quality rigs you have picked up. This one is worthy of really fixing up. I am seriously curious to know what Jessica's skill set is. In early vids I see her pulling interior stuff apart, I have seen her MIG welding in a trunk, etc. What can this girl not do?
@@toomanyhobbies2011 my wife grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and she surprises me just about everyday with all the random skills she has...
I just finished my first week of mechanic school thanks to you sir. I love this channel. Just started Chrysler certifications, should take a month. Cheers and best wishes from Knoxville!
Great pause for that hug. I'm a single dad and my kiddos are in their 20s. Still pause for a moment to tell them I love em and bring it in.
This makes me happy, staying original and enhancing the history of this Rig with some sweat and polish. I can't wait for the interior makeover
I think the weathered dinged thin paint look that it's got going on looks pretty cool to be honest and it makes it look like it's not been abused but also like the owner isn't afraid to actually use it.
I don't think it needs a respray at all and i fact i think what would be more fitting is a protective coat to keep it as is.
That little Bentley is a Daddy's Boy! He's gonna be a fine mechanic in a few more years. I wish every kid could have the chance to grow up around cars like this. There would be a whole lot less hoodlums running around on the streets.
Or at least the hoodlums would know a thing or two.
Ain't nothing better than having a Daddy's boy. My boy is only 7 but already helped me restore a boat and now he is helping restore my 81 f150 shortbed. Teach em to run the quarter mile and not the streets.
@ Bryan Wayne - couldn't have said it better !!!
That "snapshot" of your son coming in and hugging you will be priceless to you one day in the not so distant future. My boy is 25 and he is big as you Derek. Miss them hugs from the lil guy. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
I really love your videos and how you incorporate the family, great fathers have great children I always say God bless you all. Love the way this truck turned out. Now all you need is a flannel interior.
I love the care you put into older neglected vehicles. You give them new life. Keep up the great videos, and I hope you and your family are doing well.
I am loving this series! Other than mine was a 400 with a C6 auto, add a saddle blanket seat cover, a set of white wagon wheels wrapped in BFG Radial T/As and you have my first truck in your possession. Bringing back some serious memories. Good stuff, keep it up!
Side note: Keep loving on those kids and getting them involved. Maybe let each one pick a build and direction for an upcoming series. They are only kids for a little while and these are things they will remember and cherish forever. My oldest is my camping buddy. We built my old Isuzu Trooper into an overland rig (before it was popular) because she loved backwoods camping. I thank God everyday for the relationship we have. Now that she is in college we have a lot of stories of adventures to look back on and thankfully she still wants to hang out with the old man. I also (because God has a sense of humor) have a four year old daughter. My wife doesn't understand why I am constantly pulling her into my projects and taking her camping and hiking even though she is a girly girl... I see her smiles when we are getting outside of her comfort level and hear her laughter. I may have to take her to get her nails done after going 4 wheeling cause the mud ruined them, but she will tell everyone she talks to about how much fun it was. lol
Waiting for the next notification bell. Till then I'll be in the garage tinkering. Cheers!
Mine was a 76 short bed with 390 /C6 ranger xlt package !
Just in my experience, those trucks came from the factory with no bumper. The dealerships put those on. They came in white or silver and they were tough as hell. Good advertising for the dealer too.
23:10 hit me hard.. It instantly made me miss my dad. I love watching your videos and love how you integrate your devotion to your family in these videos. Keep it up the great content and thank you!
A guy has been cold and wet outside all day moving around snow after a record-smashing snowfall and came in to get a bite to eat and warm the old bones. Couldn't get better enjoying a cold snack and watching an early release VGG video while thawing out by the fire. Thanks Derek!
Love seeing a 70's Ford come back to life. I have a 76' that I am doing the same thing to. Can't wait to see Jessica bring around the interior. Thanks for the great video. Hope to see you at the premiere tonight!
That freeze frame of you and your boy is beautiful.. it’s life. And it’s so nice to see you being able to polish the lower half of a rig finally!!! Welcome south my friend.
Keep it up, love watching these budget builds. Makes me miss my grandpa and his vehicular ingenuity
We can always count on you to bring stuff RIGHT back around, Derek! Truck is looking superb.
I'm truly enjoying the minimal restoration on this Ford. Love the idea of it was only this way one time attitude. Great job as always. Already waiting for the next part of this adventure.
what a knowledgeable man you are.. BUT most importantly a father your sons will look upto for the rest of their lives.. your children will look back on time watching you and helping you.. in a small way in re building those vehicles.. which you do with such professionalism ..i used to watch my father make stuff back in the 1960's .. and i still remember his advice now.. good luck to you .. and your family .. x
I saw the before and after on Instagram. What an amazing transformation
Fantastic outcome! Man this truck really tugs at my heart strings. It’s looks just like my 72 f100 my pops bought me when I moved away from home.
Definitely looking forward to the interior. Ever thought about doing a DIY rhino liner to save on the bed. That is a good looking solid rig.
A guy jut got his VGG hat ~ Thanks! ~ My Dad was a mechanic & had a white 79 F-150. Does my heart good watching this restoration. My Dad taught me so much about wrenching on old vehicles. We had so many trips together similar to yours. Love your site AND your devotion to your family. Keep up the great work all around.
Pro tip: after letting the purple power soak use a soft brisheled brush to loosen the grunge this will let you rinse without leaving the zebra stripes...and thanks for the videos...I love everyone of them
What would be the best PSI range to use, scared to make zebra stripes on my granddad's sentimental truck.
Hey Derreck, I am glad i found your channel. You do some of the craziest things that most just call junk. love it when thee kids or Jessica show up in the middle or begining of things. You sir a a great dad & husband, along with being quite brilliant with a wrenh or buffing wheell. Thanks for what you do, and loving it so much. keep'em comin, and we will keep coming back, you are just to much fun to hang out with. Blessings sir.
Low cost restoration, perfect for the average guy. Thank you for keeping it simple and affordable! Awesome job on the truck. Looking forward to the rest of interior and exterior work.
Fun to watch. My 79 F100 was a Frankenstein truck with that matted white paint. Elbow grease and cold beer turned it into a looker for just a few dollars spent.
My Dad had a similar truck when I was growing up. I was so happy when he got a new one, but now I wish we still had it. You got this one looking good! Thanks for the video.
A guy's content has been therapy for me during a lot of difficult times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love yo you and your family.
Ditto
Head up, keep moving forward pal.
I absolutely LOVE this truck. You're definitely doing it the right way! I can't wait to see the interior restored. Oh, and I loved the snapshot of you and sonny! Keep up the good work. All the best to you and the family!
I love the frozen moment of you and and your son. Truly the best feeling....the real meaning of life.
100% best UA-cam channel out there. Nothing makes my day more then watching a new VGG video! We all appreciate what you do!!
I agree whole heartedly
Agree completely
I'm so glad that I found you Derek! I love the content you produce and the wholesome manner in which you do it.
Clean and original old truck for sure. I agree, fix what's needed, refresh a handful of odds and ends, and enjoy it.
You have been hands down a great content creator and human being, throughout your videos and the more I watch. The Bob Ross of auto gurus, and entertaining to watch. 🙌
yeah he's even got the tone and sound in his voice similar to the way bob ross did videos.
@@shaywood2011 More of a Red Green I think
I agree ☝️
To be honest with you, Derek, whichever video you post, I seem to enjoy them all equally. Your choice of firing-order. Thanks for your labours.
Thanks Brian
Derek, that brand new deer-leather bench seat needs some love and attention. I remember the day you got those. Goodness they're nice. I can't wait to see them installed!
Looks real nice, Derek! I enjoyed the music transitions etc. on the editing as well. Keep up the great work!👍
Thanks Eric, appreciate the feedback
Thank you. I am currently fighting a old 77 f150 4x4 from the grave. Your Chanel helps with alot of issues I find. To see you bring an old Ford back from the grave is nice to see.
Considering what you started with it looks pretty darn good. Love watching you work your magic on these older vehicles.
Im looking forward to seeing what Mrs.Bieri has planned for the interior.
As far as wheels and tires,i like'em white with dog dish hub caps.but whatever you chose will look great im sure.
it might get out of control in the cab!
@@ViceGripGarage She ain't a "Dead Head", is she? Lol.
Second the body color steelies and dog dishes 💯💯💯

So, I’ve watched far, far too much of this channel, perfect. At first I thought hmmm this is weirdly good, then I was like, this is the best car restoration channel, then I decided it was simply the best car channel, now it’s plainly just the best channel on UA-cam. It’s informative, entertaining, funny and ultimately uplifting. Probably not.
Not to mention this guy shreds on an axe
No kidd'n who needs to binge watch Netflix when ya got VG Garage. The wife thinks I'm nuts!
Thats exactly like my channel...except the opposite LOL (not plugging it..just...in a blah mood and tired). Derek does have a way. Talent is talent.
@@jamesw1989 My wife loves VGG also! We watch it during dinner...No More Vanna!
Met the VGG family on the 2018 HRPT. Great People!
That truck is a rare treasure and I am really enjoying seeing it brought back around a step at a time. :)
Those old 70s ford trucks have always been my favorite. Its great to see this one is good shape and getting a second chance. Also, the Meguiars mirror glaze products are great. They've been around a while and used not be the cheaper option. Ive used them for nearly 20 yrs. Looking forward to the interior build.
Awesome job! Can't wait to see it get it's interior finished and wheels. I just hope you bring it back and let your son enjoy it!
Just found the channel, binged everything in a week, and am really looking forward to to seeing the truck you make for the boys. Cheers from Sydney
Derek, you're a good dad. That's the thing I like best about you and your videos.
Love seeing this guys hard work paying off for him and his family! I'm sure we'll be seeing him all over the place as this year moves forward. Great video!
What a great tutorial ! I actually borrowed your SOS pad method and brought my 76 F100 back from sun faded pink chalk to Ford red !!! I don't look for the new F150s to be around 50 years from now ! Very interested to see what your wheel choices will be on a white truck. Love your channel and am looking forward to what's coming next.
This is going to be a great going to town rig once it's done. A feller can't wait to see what Mrs VGG will do with the interior. My peepers were drawn to a seat, in the video, hope that's going into the truck 🤙🏻
Ioved rewatching this one!! The music had a different feel and a guy liked it!! Also I missed the hug snapshot the first time around. 💪🏻🇺🇲
Fantastic! You did an amazing job bringing back the shine to that beautiful Ford. Your videos are fun and inspiring Derek. Just love your work!
Thank you
Must be wobbly pop nite.
Derek is like the real life tool time. He's tim, al, and also flannel shirt thrown into one. More Power!
Your channel is the perfect antidote for these crazy times! God bless you, Brother; wish you continued success!
You are so right, Derek takes you to a place where your forget about all crazy times!!
You go through life seeing alot of people encountering alot of different personalities, if your blessed you come to see someone who from the very first time you encounter them you know right away that you have just witnessed a very ,very special human being with internal piece and love ,warm and gentle soul, i can not stop watching, I so wished that I had that, I just came across your videos and you have taught me about fixing trucks, but you have taught me more about life, thank you, God bless you and your family,
That is an excellent rig. The condition for a 1978 ? Score ! I've owned many SB V8 Fords over the years, the 300 I-6 was the true workhorse of the gas powered fleet. They were used in tractors, farm equipment, generators, dump trucks and more, then some. I love her as a survivor with the clean up. Keep her as she is appearance-wise. Not too many know what a basic work truck looked like in 1978 !
Derek, you have an absolutely amazing eye for vehicles. Your inventory, as well as all the projects you bring on are freakin awesome!! Keep grinding man!!🔥👌
Perfect resto job on the paint, just needs some nice clean steel wheels and caps to set her off a treat. Love to see a full factory restoration of the interior and she be a keeper daily driver. Would be nice to do a refurb of the undercarriage n she’d be a show truck as well. 😎👍
im amazed at how good the ol rig came out! id leave it just like that!! when your son gave ol dad a hug you almost got me there but it was just my wife cutting onions! keep up the good work!
Cutting onions, huh? I like to just do the right thing and call them what they really are…. “man allergies”. Nice rig for sure.
I love this rig! Thank you for giving it some love and doing a budget resto. Also, thanks for all your videos 😊
Man I'd drive it til the wheels fell off. I love these old Fords. My dad had a truck just like that back in the day. Glad to see you putting new life into it. I agree with the others. This trucks name should be Uncle Jesse. Have a great weekend yall.
That's the first thing that came to my mind...
21:57 - Genius bit of video editing. "Try it... Where did yer eye go?..." Great job. Love this video.
It’s a newer version of Uncle Jessie’s rig from Dukes of Hazzard! “Uncle Jessie” is a good name. ;)
My thoughts exactly.
Jesse's was a 73' I believe. Close enough I suppose. Who really knows since its likely they used several trucks for the series
'73 thru '79 was the same body style the grill is all that changed. The parking lights or turn signals went from the bottom to the top in '78 I believe. And they had a few different trim packages.
I said the same thing on the first video of this truck
I'm looking forward to the Interior would love to see what Jessica Comes up with for this old Gal Derek @ViceGripGarage
What a great looking truck I would daily that thing everywhere love it also the editing came out well
Nice to see a pickup that clean, no rotten body parts, fix the interior and she is definitely a keeper !!!
Derek, You're taking the perfect approach with this one. Possibly the best body on a vehicle I've seen you bring around. I recognise it's original protective layer as moss/lichen from a cool dark place, hardened by either bringing inside, or a place in the sun! When I was tasked with cleaning an engine I was given a jar of petrol, a paintbrush and the instruction "Don't get it on your hands!" Said it before😀. Reminiscing, my dad would have been able to straighten out all those panels with his hands and a few odd shaped hammers and things.... bus company panel beater..... lots of practice! Regards Stephen.
