Derek, my dad and I (from Minot ND) now live in CO, watch you together all the time. He is a lifelong mechanic and had a stroke about 7 years ago and can’t work on cars anymore. We live vicariously through you and I just want to thank you for everything you do for us, and all of the other fellers and fellets out there.
Hey Derek one thing I've noticed when you're looking at a vehicle and you're not sure on the year,all ya have to do is read the numbers on the tail lights ! The date is there
They don't seem real anymore. Between the modern radiator, somewhat modern seats, and him basically having 'buyers' who scan the country for this and other channels to supply easier 'saves' for views, I unsubscribed.
Derek, my three toddler daughters and I love watching your show! They say: papa lets watch fix a car with a guy! They always wanna help me fix things now! They all sit in my lap and watch with me. Thanks feller!
Rebuild the 327, everyone is going the LS or similar swaps...keep it to a Street Rod you would have build when you were in your teens early 20's, time capsule it. Like you Shopped in J.C.Whitney for everything... I think that would make a few fellers and fellettes happy to see. Thanks for everything Derek
I agree, it was fun watching you rebuild the BBC and the Ford 300. Plus, I always pick up a pointer here and there. Shortcuts that work. And how to avoid some that don't.
Derick: you need to rebuild that 327. You could do an episode on it. New bearings, rings, maybe a hotter cam, but definitely keep 327. They getting very rare.
Boomers be like : I tell you what...back in my day I had a chevelle with a 327/375 hp and that bad boy would jump a beer can in the walmart parking lot.
I personally think rebuilding the 327 and running it would be awesome. Everyone does the 350, 400 swaps in these things. I think the 327 would be unique.
I hope you rebuild the 327. That engine brings back a lot of memories for me. Had one in my 60 Chevy convertible and loved it. Thanks for another great video!
I think we definitely want to see more of this truck. Personally I’m a fan of rebuild the 327 on a budget! Thank you for all that you do, you are very appreciated.
Dereck, your sense of humor is infectious. And pretty dang gone amazing! The challenges you take on are mission impossible. And yet you always find a way. Thx for your super tremendous positive attitude.
I totally agree with so many on here. Rebuild the 327. Born in 73 and the 327 has a huge place in my heart. Keep up the great work. Blessings to you and your family.
I got a tall glass of ice water, and just kicked back for what I hoped was coming. It’s Derek, and the most informative and the most wholesome show on the RUclipss. Thank you for being you and not changing anything. We very much appreciate it.
I'm a body temperature water drinker myself. Drinking warm water has its own benefits, such as helping digestion and toxin removal especially after a few cold snacks..
I want to definitely see more of this C10! It deserves a rebuild Redemption. I think it'd be really cool for this thing to finally live out all the hopes and wishes that all the previous owners wanted for it.
As a bluesman myself, I highly approve of this episode's music selections! I had a '64 C-10 as my first vehicle, bought it with paper route money when I was 14.
I love that you don't get frustrated by a few setbacks. This just proves that you are a master mechanic and you know that there is always a solution to the problem.
It's a good lookin little truck with some good possibilities. The 327 is getting a little rare, hardly ever see them anymore, everything is either a LS swap or a 350, which ain't a bad thing, but my vote is to rebuild the 327, hop it up a bit and put it back in the truck. Thanks again Derek for bringing a feller along with ya on another recovery!
Growing up in North Texas my neighbor I worked for 1978 to 81 had a 66 and 67 with 327 4 speed. These were workhorses, Hauling cows to sake barn to hauling hay, Loved them trucks
My dad had one of these things when I was a kid. It was an old Massey Ferguson dealership truck. One of my earliest memories was almost launching out the passenger side when dad took a hard left and the door flew open. Luckily he caught my arm on my way out. That was 35ish years ago. Funny how far trucks have come, that truck seemed ancient at that time, but my daily driver is older now than it was at that time. Thanks for bringing that memory back.
I seriously want to see more on this truck. I love that Era for vehicles. This truck could be AMAZING, and I am anxiously waiting for a follow up for this one. Please please please try to get this one on the list soon for rebuild etc. I would so much love to see that thing stripped down, repainted, engine replacement, the whole 9 yards. I understand that takes time you don't really have, but it would be so rewarding for us the viewers to see, and for you to finish.
I love watching the revivals just like any other feller. But I really enjoy watching the progress on the vehicles. That being said, my vote is the 400 in her. You don’t need to do a revival every week brother. Stay at home with the family and work on the progress of some of the projects. That’s honestly my favorite. You never cease to amaze me.
It's a nice truck. I grabbed a decent '64 long bed, in the late 90s. Original blue and white. 307ci. Old mans son was a mechanic. Sold it to a guy, who rebuilt it with his son, and gave it to him, when the kid got his license. Gorgeous truck now. Runs in the mid 11s.
It's sad the ol' C10 couldn't make the trip home, but I would love to see it come back with that 327 getting a fresh rebuild with maybe a cam, heads, intake and carb as well as maybe even doing a 4 speed swap on it. I mean, it's got the bucket seats... so why not? Plenty of room for the manuel activities in that cab. Thanks for everything you do for us Derek. I know you've been a tremendous help in keeping me motivated on my old square body.
I was born in 64 and I would Love to see You put a 350 or the Engine out of the 777 in it!! I can't work on Cars anymore due to My Disabilities but I Love staying informed of My mechanical knowledge through You! Thank You Derek and Jessica for all that You Guys do for keeping the Old Cars alive! Take Care and God Bless Don W. Ankeny, Iowa
Amazing... I stopped recovering old cars in 1989 or so... I was looking for a different direction direction at this time in my life... and now it brought me back 35 years ago 😂
Would enjoy seeing a quick/basic rebuild of the 327! I always enjoy your vids where you've done some engine work like that. Also would be great to see how you would resolve the non-centered cross members underneath as well as other items that would need addressing. This truck is worth at least a couple more videos :-)) Thanks for doing these, Derek! steve
You are a sharp cookie Derek. Been watching for quite a while. First one I saw was the old Model A. I was mesmerized. It’s soothing to relax and watch these for a guy.
This is the material that will help you sit down and relax. Leave work at work, your own stressful projects outside, all to grab up some motivation to head back out in the mornin!
It’ll probably work. My faceplate once fell out of the car when I was in high school and was rained on that night. Let it dry a few days and it worked fine. They have always been high quality units 👍
Nice, my first car/truck was a 1965 c10. Same setup with a short bed fleetside. Was such a fun truck, learned to wrench with my pops on it. Changed out the two speed power glide to t400 tranny. Favorite body style. Love the series.
Nice to see you going back to your roots Derek, of rebuilding cheap, forgotten rigs. Great video. Keep up the good work. That C10 is old, almost as old as me. lol
I absolutely love all these Revival Videos… They are hands down the best on RUclips and 💯 the most entertaining! I mean only Derek can keep you entertained for 1-2+ hours of a guy working on a vehicle… Keep it up and keep em coming, we definitely appreciate it! 🦅🇺🇸🍻
Now wait just a second!! A new video before noon?!?! Hows a guy supposed to set tile with this playing on the phone?!! Going to apologize for the crooked tile right now! Bring on that video!!
Never mind setting tile. It's a quarter to midnight here and just as I was about to put my phone down and go to sleep a new VGG video pops up... oh well, another night into the wee small hours. 🙄😁
@ViceGripGarage Mate!! The 24th minute was the best, some random wire make you jump and then its the starting werler. That was gold!! Love watching your videos mate, never change. Thank you
More fun! - I was wondering why you even tried to use that old carb when I realized how helpful it is for all of us when you “use what’s there”… so in that same space, let’s rebuild that 327 (please) hehe. Thanks for such great videos!
My oldest brother had a 65 GMC short bed. And in it he had a 283, with a set of power pak heads. 4 speed Muncie. Truck would flat out fly. I miss that truck.
Gotta tell you something. First your content is absolutely awesome. The stuff I've learned blows me away. The passion you have for that life and how much you care about us, your family and how much you enjoy what you are doing is actually inspiring. I'm also very impressed that you never ever talk about religion and politics, how refreshing it is to know that Friday night I can sit and watch an episode of VGG without getting preached about your beliefs. Thank you very much. Mike in Canada
Your you tube channel gives me hope for mankind! Welcome to Tennessee and I must say we are a better state for y’all choosing to move here. Your family is amazing and a beacon of light in a troubled world. You a humble man that is inspiring and truthful to witness. Godspeed young man.
I would love to see any of those options for re-engine'ing the hood space area. But we know you want to find out what that 327 is doing, so, I would suggest a pull apart, rebuild of the 327, and maybe add some soup to it.... Love watching all you do Mr Derek.
Good to see you wrenching on a first gen C10. First VGG episode I saw was the white, long stepside with the 454 that you drove out of the scrap yard. I was hooked, as I have had my '66 short stepper since 1992. Rebuild that 327. I was in the process of getting my 327 parts together, until I found a 427. Can't wait to see this one again.
I’m voting 327 rebuild. Definitely a throw back for me as I remember quite a few friends cars in high school sporting that motor. Thanks for showing the carb rebuild - I learn something every week.
Hey Derek, I see you're having alignment issues with the drive shaft. If your truck originally was equipped with a standard trans and now has an automatic, the original bell housing frame brackets will need to be removed in order to use the traditional style rear mounted trans cross member. Holes will need to be drilled on the frame for the cross member to bolt to along with the correct trans mount to center the trans in the truck. The cross members for an automatic where the same from 63 to 87 for 2wd trucks. If there is still an alignment issue check the engine mount stands that are between the front crossmember and the motor mounts. There are a right and left stand. If bolted in incorrectly you will most definitely have engine/ trans alignment issues. Regardless, all of this is nuts and bolts stuff that can easily be corrected. The truck just needs a little love!! Best of luck!!
I was doing about the same thing as you are doing with this old C10 with 1966 version of the same truck, and darn if it didn't have the same problem with the driveshaft hitting the side of the hole through the frame member. Whoever had tried to fix it before that the whole engine and transmission mounted on an angle. Luckily, I found out that there was a crack in the block and gave up on the whole project and sold the shell for 200 bucks. Thanks for taking us through this because it brings back memories. Some of them not so good and some of them great cheers from Toronto again
Derek,I had a silver CRX in the 80's! Dearly loved it. Would love to see you keep this one.Itvis so documented and obviously loved by the owner. PLEASE keep it! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Cute C10. The 350 would really "hop-it-up" with a few extra horseys, but would save your bigger engines for bigger things. Always a pleasure watching you resuscitate the spirits still residing inside these rigs of yester year! Thank you for all your skill doing restart all the while doing a standup that is a treasured classic in its own sense. Laughing with you all the way back to barn....cheers!
not even a petrol head myself , as we call it in the UK, but I've been watching your videos for over a year Derek. I watch while working and just find them so engaging, and your chatter is so amusing and heartwarming. The way you involve your kids as well is so lovely to see, what a great father you are. Thanks for so much entertainment and never stop doing what you're doing. I would love to see you stumble upon my dream car, the DATSUN 240Z, although they are clearly becoming harder to find these days! Peace from the UK Derek 👊👊
G'day from Australia Derek.! A man got to thinkin, and instead of that pine tree holding the hood up, maybe you could use the BEST tool ever invented, "Vice grips", and where the hood hinge folds, you could clamp it closed tight with your vice grips. That way the hinge can't fold, making it impossible to come down on a fella's melon..!! I know you come across this issue countless times, hopefully i've given you a handy hint for the future. Love your channel, watched countless video's, and rode along with you on some sketchy rides home.
Here's my bleep bloop. Definitely a quick and dirty rebuild on that 327 with a nasty cam. You mentioned in the video that it may have glasspacks. If the exhaust is in good shape, keep 'em and save a few monies. As for the bodywork, pop off some of that bondo on those deep dents, refill them then throw some shine juice on it.

These revival videos are like comfort food for me. These are what I like most. Troubleshooting, humor, Americana, history…
Well said, ditto for me😅
Amen, thanks! ,,,,derek

Aw. that's great! I got my wife to watch it the other night. :)
Priceless. Enjoy every second of that.

Put a 283 crank in it to build a "302" !!! Almost square stroke and bore !!!
Just put the 283 from the 777 raceway in it or a 350.

Yep. 327, thumpy cam and dual quads or better yet, 3 dueces.
327 is the way I would go
Quick and dirty rebuild on the 327. That's my vote.
And a nasty cam
I’d love to see that 327 get a second chance
Yes, rebuild
+1 to this, quick and dirty rebuild.
I agree, it was fun watching you rebuild the BBC and the Ford 300. Plus, I always pick up a pointer here and there. Shortcuts that work. And how to avoid some that don't.
As a 61 year old disabled veteran with limited mobility, one of the best parts of my day begins with watching one of your videos!
Derick: you need to rebuild that 327. You could do an episode on it. New bearings, rings, maybe a hotter cam, but definitely keep 327. They getting very rare.
Check out VGG EP1. How to rebuild a SBC on the cheap. A younger Derek rebuilds a 305?, 307? I forgot; in his garage. A classic.
I couldn't agree more. I am doing my first rebuild of a small block chevy and would to see you do another engine budget build.

May want to make sure it's a 327, never seen a 327 with an egr valve in the mani. More like a late 307 .

Enjoy your day, bud.

Derek, you are single-handedly making American Friday nights great again.
and british too
And Swiss too 🙃😃
Thanks Derek for another fun episode. Oh, and I would, like some others suggested, leave the 327 in it, btw...
Not only in America. Derek has fans all over the world, U.K. and France in our case.
Thanks so much!!
I vote for a 327 rebuild. Such an underated motor.
I think we definitely want to see more of this truck. Personally I’m a fan of rebuild the 327 on a budget! Thank you for all that you do, you are very appreciated.

Cheers fellow water person!
I'm a body temperature water drinker myself. Drinking warm water has its own benefits, such as helping digestion and toxin removal especially after a few cold snacks..
I want to definitely see more of this C10!
It deserves a rebuild Redemption.
I think it'd be really cool for this thing to finally live out all the hopes and wishes that all the previous owners wanted for it.
I don't think there is much metal left once you start grinding away the paint....
@pallecla Welp, only one way to find!
*Violent grinding noises*
Let's get it rollin!!!
I love this revival as I am rebuilding my 61 swb step side and also sporting a 327sbc, thank you Derek for all you do!
Fridays are for cold snacks, kicking back, and VGG after a long week!
Boom!
Read my mind
Exactly
My week ain't over. I work in film
But!
I agree!
Unfortunately my cold snacks aren't cold 🤦♂️
Get her home and bring her back around. Make her the next giveaway truck. Do a 327 rebuild. Love the truck. Great job Derrick.
It's really cool, I would buy somethings to get a few chances to win her. !!!!!

@ViceGripGarage FANTASIC. Thank you Derek 😎😎😎👍👍
Derek the doors are smashed in because they don't have the door stops that keeps the door from hyper-extending into the fenders...

That’s a SELECT-A-COLOR body. You just take a DA sander to it and when you hit the color you want you stop sanding.
It's sad the ol' C10 couldn't make the trip home, but I would love to see it come back with that 327 getting a fresh rebuild with maybe a cam, heads, intake and carb as well as maybe even doing a 4 speed swap on it. I mean, it's got the bucket seats... so why not? Plenty of room for the manuel activities in that cab. Thanks for everything you do for us Derek.

283 all day long! My favorite small block! Not a lot of power, stock, but very dependable and quite fun!

More fun! - I was wondering why you even tried to use that old carb when I realized how helpful it is for all of us when you “use what’s there”… so in that same space, let’s rebuild that 327 (please) hehe. Thanks for such great videos!
Man! A feller snatched this up early!!!
My oldest brother had a 65 GMC short bed. And in it he had a 283, with a set of power pak heads. 4 speed Muncie. Truck would flat out fly. I miss that truck.
Gotta tell you something. First your content is absolutely awesome. The stuff I've learned blows me away.
The passion you have for that life and how much you care about us, your family and how much you enjoy what you are doing is actually inspiring. I'm also very impressed that you never ever talk about religion and politics, how refreshing it is to know that Friday night I can sit and watch an episode of VGG without getting preached about your beliefs. Thank you very much. Mike in Canada
Rebuild the 327 and give this truck a new life. Great episode!
Derek is one Skilled mechanic The best I've ever seen. Your good brother ❤❤❤❤
Good evening, Derek. I so look forward to your videos. I have never fixed a car, but Watchung your videos, I hope to work on one very soon.
All dream, no balls
Your you tube channel gives me hope for mankind! Welcome to Tennessee and I must say we are a better state for y’all choosing to move here. Your family is amazing and a beacon of light in a troubled world. You a humble man that is inspiring and truthful to witness. Godspeed young man.
This dude actually genius level mechanics !! Love Vice Grip Garage and Derek!!!!!
I would love to see any of those options for re-engine'ing the hood space area. But we know you want to find out what that 327 is doing, so, I would suggest a pull apart, rebuild of the 327, and maybe add some soup to it.... Love watching all you do Mr Derek.
Derek, when did a 327 come with an EGR VALVE! And a HEI?
Another Great Adventure ! Nice Truck to Have !
Good to see you wrenching on a first gen C10. First VGG episode I saw was the white, long stepside with the 454 that you drove out of the scrap yard. I was hooked, as I have had my '66 short stepper since 1992. Rebuild that 327. I was in the process of getting my 327 parts together, until I found a 427. Can't wait to see this one again.
Yess 327...i Love the Small blocks
The Sound is incomparable to the Ls',s..😊
Rebuild her...cruiser...
i love chevy small blocks
Always great to drop in A older, El Camino
@1:13:45 rebuild the 327
You're like Mr. Rogers of the automotive world. I love it.
Love some vgg on a Friday night with some cold snacks whoooooo
I’m voting 327 rebuild. Definitely a throw back for me as I remember quite a few friends cars in high school sporting that motor. Thanks for showing the carb rebuild - I learn something every week.
Hey Derek, I see you're having alignment issues with the drive shaft. If your truck originally was equipped with a standard trans and now has an automatic, the original bell housing frame brackets will need to be removed in order to use the traditional style rear mounted trans cross member. Holes will need to be drilled on the frame for the cross member to bolt to along with the correct trans mount to center the trans in the truck. The cross members for an automatic where the same from 63 to 87 for 2wd trucks. If there is still an alignment issue check the engine mount stands that are between the front crossmember and the motor mounts. There are a right and left stand. If bolted in incorrectly you will most definitely have engine/ trans alignment issues. Regardless, all of this is nuts and bolts stuff that can easily be corrected. The truck just needs a little love!! Best of luck!!
Longmire just got himself a new stepbrother 👍
@14:00 Derek, bet you didn't know you bought a 4x4!
That was a good joke, deserves more recognition 😂
I was doing about the same thing as you are doing with this old C10 with 1966 version of the same truck, and darn if it didn't have the same problem with the driveshaft hitting the side of the hole through the frame member. Whoever had tried to fix it before that the whole engine and transmission mounted on an angle. Luckily, I found out that there was a crack in the block and gave up on the whole project and sold the shell for 200 bucks. Thanks for taking us through this because it brings back memories. Some of them not so good and some of them great cheers from Toronto again
Thank you, DEREK......FOR GOING back to the "OLD SCHOOL"VICE GRIP GARAGE FORMAT.....I would like to begin to see more
he does so many of these still! A guy cant do it all of course.
He does at least 1-2 a month 😂
The guy just drove one from Canada two weeks ago……
I can't believe how hard this guy works. It almost doesn't even make sense
@@yeahright2449don't want to die early from being bum
Well, I had dinner plans with the old lady and her family. But, a guy had to come up with an excuse because ViceGrip dropped a Friday evening video. 😂
She will just have to understand that it's a better Pizza night.
Derek,I had a silver CRX in the 80's! Dearly loved it.
Would love to see you keep this one.Itvis so documented and obviously loved by the owner.
PLEASE keep it!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Yellow jackets are good for the environment.....as fertilizer
Cute C10. The 350 would really "hop-it-up" with a few extra horseys, but would save your bigger engines for bigger things. Always a pleasure watching you resuscitate the spirits still residing inside these rigs of yester year! Thank you for all your skill doing restart all the while doing a standup that is a treasured classic in its own sense. Laughing with you all the way back to barn....cheers!
Always carry a hand full of golf tees. Work great for plugging loose vacuum lines and ports. Learned that from dad. ❤
not even a petrol head myself , as we call it in the UK, but I've been watching your videos for over a year Derek. I watch while working and just find them so engaging, and your chatter is so amusing and heartwarming. The way you involve your kids as well is so lovely to see, what a great father you are. Thanks for so much entertainment and never stop doing what you're doing. I would love to see you stumble upon my dream car, the DATSUN 240Z, although they are clearly becoming harder to find these days! Peace from the UK Derek 👊👊
Probly wont work on commie cars, lose his redneck viewers
G'day from Australia Derek.! A man got to thinkin, and instead of that pine tree holding the hood up, maybe you could use the BEST tool ever invented, "Vice grips", and where the hood hinge folds, you could clamp it closed tight with your vice grips. That way the hinge can't fold, making it impossible to come down on a fella's melon..!! I know you come across this issue countless times, hopefully i've given you a handy hint for the future. Love your channel, watched countless video's, and rode along with you on some sketchy rides home.
With name like vice grip gar. He should know trick maybe get vice grip sponsored, real ones with lifetime replacement not cheap knockoffs
Here's my bleep bloop. Definitely a quick and dirty rebuild on that 327 with a nasty cam. You mentioned in the video that it may have glasspacks. If the exhaust is in good shape, keep 'em and save a few monies. As for the bodywork, pop off some of that bondo on those deep dents, refill them then throw some shine juice on it.
Derek,
Please keep the 327. They are hard to find and a fine engine. Thanks for providing hours of entertainment and rescues!
You're a genius ive said it before and I'll say it again you are a great mechanic
