I am 72 years old and have had a very hard working life and from the look of your dads right hand as he held the shifty knob he is a very hard worker also. I found this very touching and it brought tears to my eyes as i watched your Dad. I was watching your dads hand as he held that shift knob. Once you start shifting a stick on the floor your hand hold on the knob never changes we all grip it the same as the first time we held that knob.
I thought the same thing, you can always tell a long life of hard work by looking at someones hands. That man has been a worker his whole life.
years ago we were listening to my, at the time sister in law, she was proudly telling us a story about how her father stole a bunch of silver from where he worked, and buried it in their back yard, she proudly proclaimed "he had a family to support!" later, after she left, my mom turned to me, and said, "your father had a family to support too, if things got bad, he would just go get another job." which makes me far prouder of my father, than I would be if he stole. God, am I glad she's gone!
@@triciabrown3035 how did burying it in the back yard help their family?
Yes hard times 08 & 09 the bank took 2 of my business trucks I couldn't get my Nissan frontier crew cab LE back, but I bought myself a 2013 Nissan xterra pro 4X cause I'm a Nissan man.
Bruce, as a Dad I can tell you that that meant a lot to your Dad. To see him hug you and tell you fix it up nice for him made me really misty. He's proud of you and knows that your going to carry on his name and business not because you feel you have to but because you want to. You have passion! Keep it up.
"It needs a bit of TLC" A few months later, engine has 1000hp twin turbos and nearly gets blown up at burnout-fest.
Yeah lol
I love u brother. I got my 77 k5 blazer from my parents. They past on now, but this old truck brings the memories, no matter what. U got a good heart brother. Remember the blood family to best of your ability, and always remember the good times. Much love forever. 🤙🤙👍👍
I also plan on restoring my truck K5 IN MEMORY OF MY PARENTS. NEVER LOSE THE LOVE.
making your parents happy is priceless! There are no substitute for them. You did good to them Bruce. Keep it up!
...And we know you will cherish it and take great care of it ...your dad must be so proud ...
That was really nice. My dad passed in 2014, miss him every day. God Bless. RIP dad.
That's awesome man! I'd love to be able to do this with my dad's old 66 F100 - Thanks for sharing with us
I have a 1970 Chevy blazer my dad got me when I was 10 as a project and here I am now23 still have it
west Virginia 3 percenter WV 3% 👍
Wow, same thing here. I got a 1972 chevy blazer when i was 12. Still have it at 31 yrs old
@Aaron Pierpoint i have you all beat ,,I bought my first car at 14 , in 1988 ,,the car actually a truck
a very rare 1983 nissan 720K Diesel ,fewer than 500 built in 1983 ,,today i am 45 years old and i am still driving it ,fully restored in 1993 ,the original SD25 turbo diesel engine has 800,000 miles on it ,when i bought it in 1988 i paid $3500 for it ,,it's nearly rust free even today , it's 36 years old and it had 280K miles when i got it
Guarantee you this is one of his favorite memories! You are so lucky to have that opportunity!
your a good son... dont change !!!! stay who you are.... and pass down your kindness to your son.
That's pretty cool of you to do that for your dad! Your pops is old school with hiding emotions but I can tell it meant a lot to you and him, congratulations!
I wish to god my dad was around and had a business like that I could grown up in and learned a trade in like that you were a lucky lucky guy
Great job I'm sure he thanked you many times over for that moments like that can't be replaced
I feel the same. 8 years ago I was 16 and we went on a church trip in a 7.3 ford excursion. Every since then I wanted one. And finally I was able to buy it from her!
Back in 2006 when my grandmother passed away who was my best friend, and life hasnt been the same since without her, one thing i got to keep vehicle wise was the tag off her van, i just turned 23 now, if i woulda been this old then id have that van, but me and my dad pull garden tractors and for years the one we pull now til 2 years ago when we changed it, where the headlights go on it or a plate to cover the holes up on the grill we put the tag there. So to me this was touching, I know your dad was crying tears of joy on the inside when you brought that truck back.
Tyler Broome my papaw was my best friend too
what
God bless u! I feel for u every step of the way!!!! Never let that truck go! I totaled mine & I would give anything if I had dug my feet in & refused to let er go & just had er fixed! So happy for u!
That was heartwarming and touching to me. And the ones that displayed the thumbs down, y'all need to think about what would happen if you was to do what this man did for this family..
In 98 my dad and shopped for his last new truck, 98 Ram. He made his last payment September 98, and passed away suddenly. I had his truck for a few years and sold it for financial reasons. It broke my heart. For 10 years it ate me alive. Then I bought it back. It's in worse shape than your dads 97, but salvageable. It's where I feel close to him, that part of me that died many years ago has been brought back to life. I hope to restore her to the way he had it and pass it down to my kids if I'm ever blessed to have them. Great video. So happy for you and glad your dad is still here to share in this memory.
How is it working out?
@noaharnold8112 unfortunately it is on the back burner. I was dealing with health issues and became a dad myself. Hopefully in the spring I can get it in the garage and start disassembly. It needs a ton of work now.
That's awesome for you to do that for your dad. I will never be able to do that for my dad. He no longer with us. Thank you for sharing this with us .
I sold my 1999 dodge ram ten years ago and recently found it and immidiateley started working on it. My dad helped me buy it when i was a teenager (my first ever vehicle/truck) im a dodge guy through and through. I also recently finished restoring a 1996.. my dad calls the 96 "my truck" because he likes it so much. A little over $23000 invested in my 96. But nothing beats seeing your old man smile. Cant wait to eventually give him the keys.
It's great to finally see someone trying to keep or get back a truck that means a lot to them - not only pretend it does mean a lot to them and then mercilessly throw it away for some new junk! Gotta love your attitude!
Theres way to many folks going like "oh this thing means so much to me" and bla bla and a little later you see them trade it in just for some shiny new paint.
That is so AWESOME you got your dad's truck back. Vehicles are not just a mode of transportation to some people for me they are a family member with tons of memories in them
Got a 66 CJ-5 in the barn that was my great grandfathers first new vehicle. The whole family learned to drive in it. I first drove it at 8 years old. Waiting for life to allow me the freedom and $ to restore it. They are not people but vehicles certainly bond families in a way not many things can. Glad you brought the truck home.
3/4 ton, manual trans 4x4. That a real truck! Congratulations on getting it back! Unfortunately my 03 GMC Sierra 2500HD, with 6.0 vortec and nv4500 manual was totaled. Owned it for 7 years, loved every minute of it.
Handsome guy, Bruce. Well done! You're a good son and good man! Well done! God bless!
Truly a Blessing. Somethings are just priceless 💜💜💜 many more Blessings to you both. 🙏💜💜
Hey. I saw this and it randomly really similar to the time when I got my Dad's 1986 Mustang back. I was so happy. I wound up having to sell it during hard times myself. Congrats to you. I know you and your dad were really happy.
A dad would never deny a hug how sweet !!!
It doesn"t get any better than that!!! Enjoy the truck and Your Dad!!!
Can't beat the joy of pops, enjoying a truck that was loved soo much. Good job Bruce 👍 I need some shades something got in my eyes.
Congrats buddy...really happy you finally got this truck!
That was a nice thing two do very high respect I know the feeling after being a family workhorse. Nice truck
😎👍👍👍
It's the days like that brotha that mean the most to some people 💕🙏 right on man keep up the good work 💪
So thoughtful of you to pass this along to dad.
Thanks for sharing and capturing a video of a life changing moment. Pretty cool, and great to watch.
My father has a 3rd gen 6speed Cummins. It’s been his company truck since he bought it brand new in 08. I’ll never forget the fishing trips or lessons learned in that rig.
Nice to see that theres still ppl out there that value a REAL PICKUP TRUCK!!! With a little TLC that diesel with be around for a long time...
Man how awesome is that . You know your dad was jumping for joy inside ... 👍
I had an old 77 Ford F100 that I lost in 1999 from getting in trouble selling pot when i was 18, lol.
Only time in my life I ever was in trouble and never was able to get it back since and i'm now 36.
I'm glad you were able to get your dad's truck back, it must've been a good feeling.
Love a heart felt story! Wish i could do that for my dad! Im 50 and shedding tears my friend!!
I cry when ever i think about it and look at old pics and mems of it we sold it in 2015 i still cry over it
That's right man I got a 1992 Toyota pickup 4x4 with the 22re motor that my dad owned for years. I'm 20 years old and have been driving it since i was in high school and i have people everyday try and buy it and i tell them you can't put a price on good times and memories made! Its the truth!
it's amazing how a simple beat up ol dodge can mean sooo much to certain people...beautiful video sir !!!
Congrats Bruce It always feels good to get back the things we always wanted to keep but situations took em away. very cool video thanks for sharing
Wow, what a nice gift for your dad, to bring back the family truck!
Awesome your an awesome guy I bet your dad is very proud of you!
Wow that guy got a steal. But it’s worth it for your father man! You are awesome 😎
Wish you the best of luck. We need more people like you in this world 🙂
good on you Bruce your the sort of man worth knowing
My son has his grandpas 96 dodge 2500 he loves is its all rotted out but he doesn't care. Its gold to him
I got my grandfathers 97 I love it
I currently have an 04 that requires almost no emission equipment Blue quad cab longbed somehow bone stock and it will stay that way and one day my daughter will drive that truck and rebuild it so her kids can too God willing there's still diesel around to fill it up
Makes me feel old... My youngest was born in 97... My pride and joy Dodge Cummins is an 05...
I’m with ya, dude! I’m very sentimental about my REO...my dad bought it new off the show room floor, my oldest brother drove it home and I learned to drive in it when I was 7 years old...so we go way back that truck and I. 🥰
I love how when Bruce bought it he noticed the third gear grind and he didn’t even mention it to his dad and his dad said the same exact thing
From a father to a son, that was pretty dag on cool buddy, you're an awesome son
Like you said, SENTIMENTAL VALUE of it. So glad you got it back in your family
thats awesome cant wait to see you fix it up. i have a 87 chevy that was my uncles. i got it after he passed away and intend to fix it up.
Awesome you got it back. I have the no port unity to buy back a 74 f100 I bought and rebuilt back when I was in high school in 88. I sold it in 90 and it stayed local. My daughter is turning 16 and wants an old ford truck.
Congrats!!! A dream truck doesn't have to mean the most recent year. I finally got my dream truck 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's about how you feel in your heart. Thus is so special💛🤠! I would love to get my dad a 57 Chevy car
What you did was amazing, hell of a son, proud to be a subscriber
Kyle Cheifstyle@gmail.com same here
yep i think everyone emotions were very much on the same page ,aaawesome move Bruce
My grandpa had a Minneapolis-Moline R and I always wanted to dig it out of the shed and get it running. My dad sold it when I was only 8 or ten. When I was 25, after telling the guy who bought it and fixed it up, that if he ever sold it I wanted first chance, I got that chance. That tractor will never leave our farm again.
this reminds me of how I got my mom's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee back that was our family car growing up. My mother was in a wreck with it on the freeway which wasn't her fault, but it was deemed totaled and I bought it back out of an auction years later - Repaired every little bit over a period of six months, and now it's in gorgeous mint condition. I'm glad to have it back in the family, and with over 180,000 miles, it's still running very nicely and strong. Prior to the wreck, the transmission had gone bad and she'd replaced it with a Mercedes Benz transmission, so that won't need replacing for another lifetime. Next to come is the engine if it ever gives out, but it's showing no signs of that yet. The Jeep was appraised at over $12,000 with how clean I have it, which is near the original price! Others of the same year now run at about $5k to $8k
Its funny how similar of a experience I just had I recently purchased my late grandfathers 95 ram Cummins 3500 flat bed single cab 4x4 12 valve standard trans back from my uncle who had mistreated it and had Ben letting it sit broken down (bad injector pump) for 10 years, without telling my grandmother I had the truck fixed and drove it to her house, before I rounded the corner she recognized the sound of the old truck and was blown away I had it fixed and was driving it her smile was priceless so happy to have my grandfathers truck
5:04 the cowboy pissed his pants 😂😂
That’s an awesome truck! Congrats! I kinda had the same situation. Grew up with my dad having old squarebody’s and plowing snow with them. Always loved them trucks. I wanted one when I turned 16 for my first truck. Long story short I just bought my dream truck at 17. Can’t explain how I felt when I bought it.
I get the emotionless part lol!! I also love the sound of the old Cummins. When I worked at a landscaping business way back, reminded me of a school bus :)
I teared up at this for sure. I can relate, I’m trying to fix up my fathers 89 Cummins 5 speed he got new back then in newark Delaware. He’s gone now but I’d like his rig to live on with our memories of it. I’m trying to document what I can of the project and upload it to remember how the project goes.
Man I know that feeling grew up in my 24v my pops imported it to the UK in 99 it's taken him up until last year to pass it on! We went through hard times closing our family run business the truck ended up tucked away for 5 or 6 years he just wouldn't get rid of it. then he finally called up to say it's time I got some use out of it. Massively sentimental to my old man and me. Probably one of the 1st Cummins rams to be sent over this side of the pond.
If the doors are rusted out on that truck I have two brand new dodge doors still the boxes to fit it dodge no longer makes these doors. I'll take $1700 for both of them
Hoping to have my dads car back next year. He had a 1973 Duster and luckily the current owner is a friendly local guy.
Glad to see you got the old truck back. Also glad to see you are a ferris dealer I work at ferris in munnsville ny.
John Hatton yolo
Outstanding, well done young man.
That's awesome you got the family wagon back. Just remember you can't live in the past but you can build on it to create your future. Pe@ce Brother.
My grandfather's old Harley Davidson goftcart
3 wheel, mix fuel
Watching this brought back old memory of it and we'll yah :(
I'm just glad yahs have that old girl back and where she needs be :)
Nice one :)
My dad used to own a 2001 cherry red dodge Cummins and I’ve really been wanting one. I always loved this truck.
10:11 there's nothing better than the sweet rumble only an old Cummins can make, I know because my dad's a truck driver with a century class packing an N14 plus and there's nothing that satisfies me like the sound and smell of a good diesel engine.
yeah I agree nothing beats the sound of and old cummins, except a 7.3
Blessed u still have u dad good job
thats awesome man keep us post on how truck comes along its cool see ppl keep ol stuff goin and its really cool c ur family get a family truck back . it doesnt alwas happen but cool yall did
Love this @6:08 "may need a little 3rd gear synchro" and dad @9:46 "synchronizer" Experienced mechanics rock
I think that truck means a lot more to you than does to your old man, but glad you got it back and were able to reconnect the memories of your youth.
Great deal, any mechanic has to feel something for getting and old HD truck back that he bought new, especially if he had to give it up against his will. I'm sure it means a lot to him regardless of any outward show of emotion.
This is pretty inspiring man not gonna lie, I've been thinking about doing this for my dad as well but with his Datsun 260z. This video just showed me that it is possible with just a little bit of dedication.
God I wish I could find my dads old 95 Chevy C1500. Sold it in October of 09. Gorgeous truck navy blue on mag wheels. I’d buy it back in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations he must be great dad for you to do that for him your lucky
I kinda have the same story my dad bought this 94 jeep grand cherokee and we had alot of memories in the jeep with my pops and he went down to texas and it got flooded to the roof twice and im trying to get him to go down there and get it so i can rebuild it everyone has told me its a waste of time and i know it is but i miss that thing like a family member
My papaws got a 95 12v 2500 he bought new in 95 it’s only got 130k original miles and I’m going to keep it in the family when he passes one of these days because I always remembered riding in it when I was a kid. Awesome video!
Man that's good stuff! Can't beat that ol' 12V Cummins! Can't wait to see the progress of this ol' green goat!
When my father in law passed a similar situation happened to me and I understand, mine was the same a Cummins same color and a 5 speed as well. I know how you feel. I have the truck now and drive 3 days a week to work and think about him everytime I drive it. Its a 02 forest green standard cab manual 2 wheel drive Cummins bone stock and an awesome old man truck. My main truck is 03 Cummins 4 door 6 speed and is a great truck too but the old mans truck reminds me of him and I will not ever get rid of it just give to my son.
My grandpa bought a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 back in 2001 with 10k miles on it and he has owned it ever since. I grew up in that truck and he still owns it to this day. When he’s done with it he’s going to pass it down to me and it’ll never leave my possession. The memories I have in that truck are priceless.
Damn man this hits home. My family went through hard times in 06, my parents lost our home with all of their life savings invested. My Dad still had his 03 6.0, but he struggled to make payments on it and keep it running (1st gen 6.0 probs lol). I remember answering the door to the repo man when we were living in an apartment, telling him my dad was asleep and his response was "well you better wake him up" as they hooked up his truck to the tow truck. He managed to get it back and eventually pay it off, and the truck was given to my brother once he got back on his feet.
Love the truck i have a 94 Cummins with the grandie tran got it from my fav uncle he brought brand new i was raised in it and bought it from him about 6 yrs ago still everything Original sept trans clutch and computer
Well as far as drive train but ive changed the look majorly all black primer with twin 5 inch stacks and added chicken lights and the big tow mirrors very nice truck only 327k miles, call her Beverly
wish I could track down my Dads 95 he brought it brand new 5.9 magnum 4x4 at what was then bob hoss dodge of Kansas city, he sold it to a friend in need that never even pay him for it man it hurt me when he sold that truck, im glad you were able to get your back in the family
Just found your channel today and I have to say, you have phenomenal content and deserve 100k+ subscribers. It’ll be cool watching your content from now until that time. Have a great day!
That was pretty cool Bruce, thanks for sharing :)
You're right down the road from Crystal Springs! I used to love swimming there when I was a kid.
Best truck I ever owned was a 96 2500 Cummins 4X4 auto. Now I live in a 36’ Country Coach with a 94 8.3 Cummins Allison 6spd. Love those Cummins. Enjoyed the video
Stoked for ya guys. I just bought a 96.
Almost same thing happened to me, but it was a motorcycle instead. My dad had this old Yamaha RD350, his favorite bike model ever of any motorcycle ever made. He bought all banged up, and restored to pristine condition, like it had just came out of the dealer, but after a hard financial hit that we never really rocovered from, he had to sell it to make ends meet 20 years ago. I loved that motorcycle, he used to take me on rides when I was just a toddler, and it had such an impact on me that my most vivid memories of when I was that young were of that bike. It was the bike that made me like motorcyels, and I always wanted that bike, not just the model itself, but my dad's motorcycle.
Around february 2020 I stumbled with the daughter of the man he sold the bike by sheer happenstance, she was interning on the vet clinic I work at, on my break I was browsing one of these sales apps, hoping to find a motorcycle of the same model as my dad's, and I spoke out loud 'man, the bike I want is never on sale' and she asked if I liked motorcycles, to which I answered yes. From then on we developed the conversation, she said she had some bikes to sell, one of which being a RD350, I immediatelly got interesd and when she showed me the picture I was fucking floored, it was my dad's motorcycle, I knew that because it had an inverted color palette. I told her he sold it to a guy who was the president of a motorcycle club, and she confirmed that her father was that guy. It had been sitting in a garage for four years, her father had passed away, and since she didn't know what to do, she left it i her garage, abandoned.
And now, that bike is back home, where it belongs, me and my dad are working on restoring it back to it's original condition. It'll be difficult, and costly, but I dont care, I'm realizing a dream.
My dad use to have a 1979 Chevy pickup and I got really attached to it but he sold it and I think about it every day and I just really miss it because I have so many memories of it when I was younger
Congrats on the family find.
