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.
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!
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!
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!
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
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. ❤
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!
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.
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

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....
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
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 !!!
"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!
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!
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 ☝️
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❤️😅
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.
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?
I love this rig! Thank you for giving it some love and doing a budget resto. Also, thanks for all your videos 😊
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.
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!
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
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
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!
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!
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. 💪🏻🇺🇲
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
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!
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...
Is there a Part 3 to this? Love these episodes!
Yes, yes there is.
@@vincedibona4687Where? The closest thing I can find is a slightly different truck
If anybody finds a part 3 please send a link!!!! Thanks fellerettes and fellers x
@@vincedibona4687 I'm quite sure there is no continuation. At least for now.
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!
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.
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 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 !
Have we officially decided it should be named “Uncle Jesse”?
You and your family are truly blessed. It literally brought a tear to my eye watching this video knowing what that truck is going to mean to that little guy when he gets old enough to take it over. I never had those experiences, nor any of the others most normal fathers and sons share. This one left a smile on my face, and a warmth in my heart. He's very fortunate to have such a great father in his life.
Thank you for the kind words!
I have the same experiences with this type of videos, I had such a hard time growing up, I never had those experiences, I feel like I skipped my childhood, and this type of videos make my inner child happy
I wish I got to build a rig with my dad.
@@ricvilla3919 Same here
My boys are adults now and I dearly miss that age!
That's a going to town rig Uncle Jesse would be proud of!!!
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.
That truck is a rare treasure and I am really enjoying seeing it brought back around a step at a time. :)
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 💯💯💯
@@ViceGripGarage White Wagon Wheels with White Letter BFG'S
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!
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
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!!
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!
This truck is a keeper. Derek & Jessica, with so many nice old rigs available, how do you ever choose which one to drive to the store?
Probably whichever one runs that day if I had to guess.
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.
Ive been watching your vids fir quite a while. Done a bit of the same myself over the years down here in Oz... my question is why do all the cars you fix on have the steering wheel, engine window clocks and levers mounted on the wrong side of the control room?
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!
Love to see the family involved! Already got my 6 year old granddaughter helping out with grampie's bumpy truck.
Keep it up, love watching these budget builds. Makes me miss my grandpa and his vehicular ingenuity
I remember when you were back in Minnesota in ur Lil 2 bay garage... I'm thinkin that the neighbors were giving you grief... the tree row was getting heavy and the all mighty American neighbors were making your life miserable right... I din-na, but I've experienced the same rif-raf in Cananada. 🎉
leave them alone and get closer to Nashville as possible.
P.s... say Hello to Dolly Parton. The sweetest lady in Country music... p.s.s... you can fax her only👌
Good luck 😂
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.
Big ford fan here this feller is. Happy to see some blue oval love!
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!!🔥👌
Hey Derek, next time you have to clean a vehicle with a lot of organic growth I have an easy way to clean it and the results are phenomenal. Super easy too.
Get a pump up sprayer with 30% bleach 70% water and some soap to help it stick and stay wet. Let sit for a minute and rinse thoroughly. Don’t let it dry on there. I have clean alot of dirty vehicles like that. Your working to hard pressure washing and your right you are running a high risk of damaging the paint
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.
What a great looking truck I would daily that thing everywhere love it also the editing came out well
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!
With an old truck like that, where the paint is getting thin in some areas, you can scuff it up a bit with 400 grit and rattle can those spots to thicken the paint, then after a few days, wet sand with dull 600 grit, wash, and buff and make it look almost new. No major work like removing trim, excessive masking, priming, etc... necessary
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.
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 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!
I'm just in love with this truck, can't wait to see what it turns out like, what a survivor! So glad you are keeping it's paint. Like you said "they are only original once" Keep up the great work!
Can a feller just take a second to appreciate that Tennessee climate? Shirtsleeves and power washing around New Year's! Can't do that in Mini soda!
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 🤙🏻
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. 😎👍
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
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.
One like is NOT enough for these videos! I need to be able to give 10 likes or a love it option. Great stuff!
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
you get those black stains when they cover the car with a plastic tarpaulin in high humidity climates black rot is created. (those squigly patterns are formed by algae and fungal growth. it looks like there were several layers of black rot from different periods where it dried out got wet again etc. next time use sugar soap first. it kills the enzimes that is burrowed into the paint. just a tip. bloody nice job though....
Derek is like the real life tool time. He's tim, al, and also flannel shirt thrown into one. More Power!
I saw the before and after on Instagram. What an amazing transformation
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.
wow she looks great!! can hardly beliee its the same truck we first saw! love what you do, how you explain, how you dont just throw wads of cash at it, relates more to us normal folk, just love this channel.
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.
She's only original once. Great job preserving this gem. Thanks Derek!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hello Tim from Maryland.? Are you going to be selling this F-100 thank you for sharing 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
We can always count on you to bring stuff RIGHT back around, Derek! Truck is looking superb.
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 !
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.
The paint looks like it's got alligator or Snake Scales Texture Interesting Derek @ViceGripGarage
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.
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.
Looks great! Transitions and music works well. I was wondering why you didn’t address the hubcap with the steel wool, but you mentioned at the end new wheels and tires..👍🏻 thanks for sharing early!
@VGG : Well, it's been a year. How's this truck looking out in the tree row?? Where's PART 3?????
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.
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!
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.
I'm a new subscriber and I just wanted to add that you and your family do amazing work. Love your show. Keep doing your videos. They're informative, funny and inspiring.
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...
I'm so glad that I found you Derek! I love the content you produce and the wholesome manner in which you do it.
That ole truck looks great as it is...I'd love to repaint my 87 Ford Ranger but, the prep work alone is well there's a lot, and without a garage to work in it wouldn't work out, tried to repaint the lower section and by the time I got that done over a week or so of prep, then paint, and some clear coat, I had a lot of issues trying to get the tape back off the truck which of course damaged some of the new paint in the process....not sure what tape a person could use, if any that won't end up permanently attached from the sun hitting it but that's what caused my problems I think is the heat kind of baked the tape in making it almost impossible to remove without peeling off the new paint in the process.
