I wish I knew where my 1978 Chevy El Camino is. That was my first car. Found it completely rebuilt with a 350 L48 (Camaro engine) at a junk yard. All the chrome trim for the car was in boxes in the bed and it was just primed and needed a paint job. Ran like a dream. Paid $800 for it, and $300 for a brand new Metallic Blue paint job, then put all the chrome back on over the weekend. Next week got my license. I wish I'd never sold it. So many memories in that car, I'd probably cry if I saw it again. I wouldn't even care if it was still running. I'd rebuild and restore it again.
This fine young man is a testament to the fine young man his father was who grew into a great dad himself and raised his kids the way he was raised. This is middle America at it's finest. These guys may not have a lot of money but are the richest American's there are. This vid was awesome and made this ole Marine cry! Thanks guys!
I love 60s as well. I had a 1968 Mercury M-100 with a 300 c.i.d inline 6 cyl. 270 Lbs ft. of torque. But she was a working girl. 3 on the tree. I was going to make her a 4 on the floor. I had big plans to get 400 Lbs ft. out of her. What a good truck.
@@Twitch_Moderatorif you want a reliable roughly 400 torque get a used tundra like I did. I just got a 2014 SR5 5.7 crewmax with 130k miles on it last year and it runs like a fuckin champ so far
Man there are some designs that are just timeless. 70s porsche 911, green triumph TR6, and a lifted american truck. Super cool seeing your dad grin spinning that thing thru the snow. Well done all around.
The fact that the first thing he did in it was Play around and grinning from ear to ear says it all! Crazy how something like a vehicle can bring us back to a different part in our life and bring out so many feelings!
So sorry about your aunt and little sister and thank you for sharing the old videos and pictures. That truck definitely was a family member. Love what you did for your father and seeing how much fun he was having driving that truck again , plus having the next generation in the passenger seat. That memory is probably going to stick with him, like yours did with that truck. Your father must be so proud of you and your brother
awesome video man. I love how at 10:34 your father doesn't even struggle to get in, even given his older age. Muscle memory is awesome. You can tell just from the way he got in, how many times he's driven that beast. Truly awesome video
My grandfather is 82 and he can easily get into a monster truck he has been a farmer all his life and he is in great shape in fact he puts a lot of young people to shame with the things he can still do
I miss my old man, but seeing the joy you’re father experienced makes me feel wholesome. Nicely done. My dad would have loved this. He was a huge car guy.
Such a great tribute to your amazing dad. I’m sorry for the loss of your sister. You’re a great family and your dad seems amazing and truly deserving of such a great gift. May God bless you and your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
You can tell he knows every inch of the truck when his eyes are immediately looking in the wheel wells and underneath. Great family and nice job. RIP to your sister.
...The look on your dad's face...worth every minute you put in to resurrect...a beautiful family, my kind of folks. Must have been tough when you sister passed so young...my condolences...God-bless to you and family, may all your days be bright and full of life...peace 💖
Truly great story! Thanks for taking the time to compile all the older footage to go along with it. Loved seeing actual footage of the truck’s history with your family.
Now this is what America is about family and great memories..love,friendship and family. You talking about your family gives me hope that not all is lost in this great country of ours!
Badass truck.. even more beautiful story behind it.. Materials are invaluable without the people and stories behind them.. very touching.. Great story!
I never cry and I got tears for him getting his truck back. He has many happy memories with family members now departed. They will all come flooding back everytime he throttles up. And, that young Grandson will never forget the first ride in that revived Monster Truck either. You can see it in his eyes at the end. My buddy had a 1977 F-250 with a 17" life kit, built 460/C6 auto 4x4, and 44" Dick Cepek Monster Mudders and the same Western Wheels. That truck would climb anything. You brought those memories back for me too. THANKS for posting this.
Super cool that your Father passed down his love of wheeling and wrenching to you and you were able to restore a piece of family history that you can hopefully pass down to your son…Very well done 🎉
Great work man. The story behind it is what makes the video. When your father passes, you'll still feel his presence every time you step into that classic and start it up. Great, down home, humble video without all the extra hype of overboard video editing. Some of us tend to find our own alone time to break down and let it all come out. I'm certain your dad does the same. I miss my "old fart" grandpas. Your little story takes me back to those days. Thank you for the share.
Nice to see an ol buck drive his truck like he was in highschool again nothing says it like that grin on his face no better gift especially in hard times
There is no amount of money that puts memories and a smile on your dad's face.im sure he cried but it was the love of his family's gift back that is what it's all about!!
Very Nice!! I wish I had kids did that. Mine was 76 F250 Explorer camper option 390. 4x4 4:10 posi track front & back. Had special detroit lockers front & back special ordered. Had 3 drive shafts. Got like -8 to 9 gal per mile. A Hoss !! Pull like a farm tractor. You kids did well!!😊.
Now this is a massive W for you and your dad Big props for you guys can't wait to see the next big thing you have on your channel And I'm sorry to hear about your sister my condolences for you and your family Losing a loved one is tough but the memories is what keeps us going I'm sure she would've been happy to see you with the truck
You're a great son - no doubt about that. Your Dad's shock said it all...he was completely overwhelmed! Awesome rig and good job keeping the Great White Buffalo alive!!!! Thank you for sharing the vid what an incredible gesture to show your appreciation for your Dad!
That's awesome. My old man drove a Ford truck. I lost him 6 years ok I miss him dearly. Sorry to hear about your sister and aunt. Thanks for sharing this video. I love the truck.
When you get as old as we do when somebody does something good for you it's a major experience it'll just blow your mind cuz life is hard life is mean and people are not so good but we try to see the good in everybody it's not always there thank you kid for your dad thank you for me God bless
That’s truly an awesome experience that not only you but your son got to ride in it with your dad that’s really cool man you guys are really lucky to be able to have such a great memory keep making memories don’t stop 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. God bless y’all
Now that’s an American family after I got done wiping the happy tears away 👍 the story touched my heart hard❤ God bless you and sorry about all your losses! But the most important thing is you stayed a family and you looked ahead what a wonderful story should be a movie God bless you all keep up the great family traditions💯🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️✊😇😇😇😇😇😇
Beautiful. My dad had a yellow ford like this. Dad's was stock mostly , this one is BEAUTIFUL. Dream truck , sweeeet ,. I would build myself one like this if I had the funds over any new truck. . Every old ford I see now reminds me of my old man. Beautiful trucks made to last and Dad allways told me that . Thanks for share 😊. Enjoy times with your dad
a truck i built will make me cry any day of the week when your cruise it and a good song comes on and you think of how proud you are to drive it , it happens to me alot
Very cool! My grandfather had a tone tone green Ford truck the same vintage. He also had a '63 Ranchero. I wish I could find those again today to restore.
I’m so proud of you young Man that’s such an incredible thing you did for your Dad I can tell you I know your Dad had tears because I was crying this Video was Awesome thank you so much for sharing
So Glad! So Glad! I found this video. This such a awesome build and to bring back to life that treasure of a beast. The memories its made and making now with your son just gives me chills! I know your dad is one of those tough son of a guns that is rare this day and age. I know he is really proud of you and what you have done. Great video thanks for sharing..
I had one of these. Great truck except for the ignition module. They were potted and would overheat. Great video. Thanks for the memories and thanks for Honoring your Father. It is becoming less common these days. Seems He did a great job raising you. Thanks to your Dad too.
I think this is The Best vid like this I've seen because of all the time you took to share your old family videos and talk about the history beyond the typical. Great job!!!! Very happy for the fam!
Love them old school rigs like that. Such an awesome surprise for your dad, loved how the garage door opens and dad gets stopped in his tracks and then lost for words. Awesome video.
Very Cool Story! My dad has had a '75 F250 since I was 3yrs old ('87). And I remember So Many memories in that pickup. It's been sitting for 5-6yrs now because it needs an engine, Tires & a few other small things. I'm hoping we can get it back on the road soon! Great Video, it was cool seeing the Nebraska plates on the truck, we are down in Southeast Nebraska...
This video is so moving. My dad’s best friend had a 79 that also had so many memories. He passed away five years ago and I took it. Unfortunately it needs so much work… my now best friend has it now and hopes to get it back to glory. Amazing video

yep feel the same way about my 64 fairlane sport coupe, such memories and a fun car.
That's amazing what you all did for your dad. There are few moments where dads are shown genuine appreciation.
Thank you, and That is very true.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ What a horrible way to try and get people to come to Christ
You got that right..
@@stonewalljackson9739how is it a horrible way
I love how his dad starts ripping it with his grandson like “this is what I did with your dad when he was little” awesome video 👍🏽
Thank you!
@@builtnelsontough you’re welcome

These stories always try to yank a tear out. Great job man and your dad raised a good man.
Thank you!
70's & 80's was the best years for full size trucks. Weather you were Ford, GM or Dodge you really couldn't go wrong with either of them.
That is for sure!
We have a i believe 76 F250 with the 460
I love 60s as well. I had a 1968 Mercury M-100 with a 300 c.i.d inline 6 cyl. 270 Lbs ft. of torque. But she was a working girl. 3 on the tree. I was going to make her a 4 on the floor. I had big plans to get 400 Lbs ft. out of her. What a good truck.

Not bad on the pricing either you can find tundra under 160k miles for under 25k pretty consistantly around here in wisconsin I see em all the time
Man there are some designs that are just timeless. 70s porsche 911, green triumph TR6, and a lifted american truck. Super cool seeing your dad grin spinning that thing thru the snow. Well done all around.
I love that he just lets it eat right out of the garage. This video rules!
I’m sure he’s been dreaming of doing it for 40 years. Finally has an axle that can handle it lol snow also helps haha
@@builtnelsontough ur dad rips lol! Love this video! Now my dad had a jeep YJ that he loved and still talks about to this day, now I need to buy one😂
The fact that the first thing he did in it was Play around and grinning from ear to ear says it all! Crazy how something like a vehicle can bring us back to a different part in our life and bring out so many feelings!
you can tell that cheeky little smile that he gives the grandson after he slides over the snow. Priceless
The smiles on your dads and sons face priceless!
Thank you
I love the heartfelt way you tell the trucks history. You can really tell how much it means to you and your family. Well done sir!

Every child should appreciate their father as much as yall do !
Thank you, I think when the son becomes a father as well and sees all the “behind the scene sacrifices” it brings on a whole new level of respect
As it should
This brought tears to my eyes seeing boys and family do this for there dad just amazing for sure
Thank you!
this is my ultimate wish, repaying my dad back and giving him back his old beloved 4runner that he went off-roading with. this is beautiful.
awesome video man. I love how at 10:34 your father doesn't even struggle to get in, even given his older age. Muscle memory is awesome. You can tell just from the way he got in, how many times he's driven that beast. Truly awesome video
Yeah haha, he’s 56 now, figured we need to get it running before he’s to old to even get in it!
My dude isn't *THAT* old lol
My grandfather is 82 and he can easily get into a monster truck he has been a farmer all his life and he is in great shape in fact he puts a lot of young people to shame with the things he can still do

Kudos for you guys doing this for your Dad. My first truck out of high school was a 1973 F100. What an awesome gift.
Good trucks for sure. I can’t imagine how cool it would have been to be alive when all these classic trucks and cars where all running around.
...The look on your dad's face...worth every minute you put in to resurrect...a beautiful family, my kind of folks. Must have been tough when you sister passed so young...my condolences...God-bless to you and family, may all your days be bright and full of life...peace 💖

Truly great story! Thanks for taking the time to compile all the older footage to go along with it. Loved seeing actual footage of the truck’s history with your family.
Thank you, I will be posting a full video of all the off-road footage from back in the day
So amazing, my father passed away. I wish I could have done this for him with his 68' Chevy. Good Father, Good Son's.
Congratulations young man. You are very talented and hit a home run for pops! ✊
Now this is what America is about family and great memories..love,friendship and family.

Good looking truck, ready to make more and more memories.
Blessings from Georgia 🍑
We had a 1978 Ford that was nick named Brandy. I loved working on it when I was 10 y.o in 1983. These are great fun.
They are the best for sure. We have a few in the works now

I have no relationship with my dad anymore but this right here is awesome to see. This is what it’s all about. Excellent work, excellent video.
Dude the camper you've got pictured at 3:15 is the same exact camper me and my grandfather hunted in for 15 years up until last year when he sold it.
What a sweet story. I loved that you had a camera underneath. I could hear the "White Buffalo".
It was loud! It was fantastic!!!
Tks Kerby my eyes were running so bad towards the end I had to watch it again. Good job young man.
Thank you!
ABSOLUTELY-----> AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love that truck on the fact that your boys did that for your dad. God bless you erase some good boys. And all of you stay safe.
Thank you!
Really nice truck! Awesome thing to do for your dad who seems like a great dude!
I'm a sucker for those old fords, I love the truck, and most of all I love the story even more. I bet your dad had some tears of joy from this one. 🚘⛽
Yes thank you!
Love them old school rigs like that. Such an awesome surprise for your dad, loved how the garage door opens and dad gets stopped in his tracks and then lost for words. Awesome video.
He was slightly confused . Both axle and truck were dismantled and covered in dust last time he saw them lol
Very Cool Story! My dad has had a '75 F250 since I was 3yrs old ('87). And I remember So Many memories in that pickup. It's been sitting for 5-6yrs now because it needs an engine, Tires & a few other small things. I'm hoping we can get it back on the road soon! Great Video, it was cool seeing the Nebraska plates on the truck, we are down in Southeast Nebraska...
Cool! We are western Nebraska. Stay tuned we have a cool thing we are planning for this fall. Hopefully you can get your truck running
@@builtnelsontough I Subscribed right after watching the video yesterday, looking forward to seeing more!!
Those old Fords are my absolute favorite trucks. So dang sweet, and great workhorses.
“FORD” FUN
OFF
ROAD
DRIVING!
Cheers from British Columbia 🇨🇦 what a classic “White Buffalo”
I luv it👍👍👍👍
This video is so moving. My dad’s best friend had a 79 that also had so many memories. He passed away five years ago and I took it. Unfortunately it needs so much work… my now best friend has it now and hopes to get it back to glory. Amazing video
