Ok...bro
This is going to be a great truck! Glad you are sticking with the 300. I think it will need a Sniper 4 bar. And all lights should be LEDs. Great to see your boys helping out.
Power Nation Made a Boosted inline Ford 300 Monster , would be awesome to build something like that.
Keep it1 barrel
Are you going to get more of your coffee mugs in? I need a new one.
I cracked up when Brad took a drive shaft to the throat. Definitely a working with dad moment. Didn’t say a word and kept on keeping on. Great family. Love the content!
That was awesome.
You learn to dip and dodge working with VGG!
I was just thinking this😂
I'm still laughing my butt off. I love it!!! 😂❤
That’s just how I grew up . I can hear my dad yelling at me hold up your end of the axle. 😂 I was like I’m trying i only weigh 80 lbs
Inline six gang is happy you're rebuilding the 300.
I was Born a Chevy Guy, but that 300 is the best engine ever made! Book it!!!
The 300 inline six is the best Ford engine ever made.
Glad to see the 300 rebuild. I have a 89 f150 that was my dad's. Over 260k miles with efi and still going. Thanks Derrick and the boys for this video. Looking forward to #2 😎👍
Love your name @EvilTribble1
Six inline, cruisin’ fine!
Bradley is country strong! The way he held back the truck! Also the way he survived the near decapitation from the driveshaft😂😂
As an almost 30 year old blue collar guy, watching Derek and his sons work on this truck made me so happy. my dad was never in my life and I had to learn all about this stuff on my own. I wish I had had a dad like Derek. keep up the great work man. Someday those kids will cherish times like these.
They are so lucky to have a Dad that is teaching them all things mechanical
Be the Dad you never had. Find a good wife. Have some kids.
I’m in the same boat as you. It sucks not growing up with that influence.
Thought my name was “MOVE”, or “SHUT UP” when I was a kid. Love how you answer all the boy’s questions and explain why. Being inquisitive will get you far in life. There is no such thing as a stupid question. Great job boys!!!
The stupid questions are the ones you never ask.
"HOLD THE LIGHT STILL"!
Like the bit that Cosby used to do about his childhood where his brothers name was "Damn-It! " & his was "Jees-us Christ!"
People need to be hard on kids so they grow up strong
Shut up
That driveshaft to Brads face is a classic dad move😂
Bradley handled it!
I literally just typed the same thing and saw your comment haha
In my head (maybe 5 seconds before it happened) I thought, 'Brad's gonna get that...'.
I think it just adds to the wholesomeness of the video.
@@loose_nuts_are_fasterI was thinking the same thing.
Your patience working with the younger humans is admirable. Those of us who are lucky enough to have wrenched with our kids knows it can be challenging at times. Massive respect, Derek.
Well said,Sir.😊
Love watching the boys get after the tear down. What a great memory and teaching moment for them. Job very well done, Derek.
Best videos are when dad and the boys are working together. We have 2 boys who are in their 30's but unfortunately we just lost our oldest of the 2 and our only 4 year old granddaughter on December 1st. I can't tell you how much joy your videos have given to our family and your videos and a couple other ones who have really helped me fix my own cars but helped me get through losing them, so thank you VGG, everyone of you.
Oh my gosh-- my heart goes out to you. May you find comfort in each other.
Derek's a good dad, those kids are more lucky than they'll ever know. My own dad, as well meaning as he was, would have already lost his patience with me several times instead of taking the time to teach me these things. Example, I only recently learned how to use those chain hooks myself because I'd never seen them before. Derek is patient and takes the time to put down the camera and demonstrate to him how it slips over a single chain link; if I hadn't immediately figured it out on my own, my dad would have gotten mad at me for it. Dads like Derek are a rare gift.
My dad was the same-- but he worked like a dog on our small farm and had to do so much without help, I can understand it now- couldn't then.
@@wandajames6234 I love my dad to death and he's still my biggest hero, but in his younger days he was definitely not a patient man lol
I was that dad, my son turned 30 last month. I regret not being more patience with my boy when he was growing up.
Brad would agree but he can't speak as he took the drive shaft to the throat 😂😂
They will realize it when they get older
Your videos are always really good, but when you add in your kids, they are even better. Some mighty fine, young men you are building there.
Derek, I have to say that I love watching you mentoring your young blokes. You are creating memories and instilling values long lost to much of our busy western society. It is so satisfying to see that those values still exist.
I have two young boys, and I couldn’t stop smiling watching your boys wrenching with you. There is no greater feeling as a father than sharing time with your boys doing projects together. I especially how Bradley just jumped in and started cleaning up without being asked. You have lots to be proud of and your boys are going to be grateful for this time you’re spending with them. You can’t put a price on that.
"Gonna re-build this 300" good man!
In 1980, I bought a brand new F150 with the Ranger trim level. It had the 300 six and a T-18 4-speed. I bought it like that mainly for economy but the more I drove it the more I liked it. It is still my favorite combination! I'm glad you're keeping the six; it's a great engine and will work harder than it sometimes gets credit for!
Little fellar is gonna be one heck of a wrench as he gets older he's in that deep and pays attention to every part as its being tore down. Another great video VGG family.
A guys training his boys to be men… love it. Keep up the awesome work. You and jessica are doing a great job.
Awesome to see...my dad left my brother and me when we were 2 and I never could understand how he could have done that...I have kids and I love them more than I can explain
So good to the boys take an interest . An education is never a waste !
Awesome to see, my dad taught me how to wrench. Memories that I will never forget.
I'm so glad to see Bradley in there. I think he was reluctant at first. Bentley's channel has shown a remarkable evolution in his confidence talking into a camera.
You can't say he doing a good job as father
I mean he probably is but u never know
Bradley and Bentley are the stars of the episode! Good job boys.
It's heartwarming watching you teach your sons as you're working together. It reminds me of doing to same with my son, who's grown now and living in a state that's over 2,000 miles away. The generational wisdom you gained from your Dad, that you're now passing down to your sons, is priceless! That kind of knowledge can't be bought.
I saw your cameo and that means the absolute world to me to hear those words come from you, hearing mine and my fiancés names coming from you had me in tears knowing she did that for me and to hear you say what you said it makes me wanna keep pushing and push even harder. I hope to meet you in person one day and get to do a burnout beside you in a patina car and a big ole engine I’ll be blowing mine to the moon! Thanks so much man that means everything to me!!
My pleasure buddy 👍
I think a Clifford intake with a sniper efi system, headers and a mild cam are EXACTLY what the truck needs to not be overkill, but better than it was when it was built in ‘78. SUPER excited for this build Derek!
Exactly what I was going to say
Yes, the Clifford intake with the sniper EFI is the way to go. Yup that would be the way to go headers and all. The sniper for fine tune adjustability and all the rest for tourge and HP'S...
Yeah the EFI is worth overlooking originality for the reliability and the little extra bit of performance.
Agreed. There’s tons of off idle punch built in it needs help in midrange and some upper to make it more drivable on todays highways.
Aaaaaaand a 5 speed transmission.
In 1986 I started my construction company w/ a 1965 F-100 as my 1st company truck after buying all the tools and equipment I needed to build homes.. It was a little rough, but it was all I could afford and it was a work horse. It has now has a frame up restoration. 59 years later it looks like it just rolled off of the Show Room Floor in 1965. Love It !!
Very COOL !
so nice to see family working next to each other . father /son relationships and teaching life lessons at the same time. absolutely priceless. very nice to see , they will remember this forever and then pass it on to their kids . good old American way !
I love how Derek always seems to make light of safety but he always is super careful with the boys. His kids will always remember these projects with dad.
Great to see the two boys working under the F100 . I'm Australian and when in my mid teens my dad had a '68 F100 and later traded it for a '72 model both fitted with the 240 six. Every Saturday he got me to crawl under the ute and lubricate the grease nipples. I was skinnier in those days and had plenty of room under the vehicle. Years later my dad told me that the F100 didnt need to be lubricated every week, but he wanted to give me something to do and get my hands dirty and learn about caring for vehicles. He has long passed and as i approach 70 I still think about him every time i see a F100, and the life lessons he instilled He'd be 100 this year.
You’re raising those lads up right. I can remember spending countless hours with my dad turning wrenches on cars. Best memories they’ll ever have!
Yep, when they are long in their years they'll be saying, "Remember that old F-100 we built with dad", "or that old chevelle" etc etc. Each project is something they'll remember fondly.
When I was 3, I was under my Dad's 1950 Willys Panel Delivery "helping" him (slowing him down I'm sure) with the exhaust system. Fast forward to when my oldest son bought a 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria for $550 as his first car with over 160K miles on it and he had to work on just about every system on that car during the next 5-6 years while he put another 80K miles on it. He's now 28 years old and married but he still has the Ford Crown Vic and it still runs well and it's his favorite car! Wrenching on your own vehicles builds character and helps you to understand the value of things and money and hard work. Derek, thanks for sharing your wrenching with your family with us.
Never did with my dad....my grandfather taught me the basics over the years. I can do a lot of repairs, I just don't have the patience for it LOL.
@@kidwave1and even better, they can go back and watch it whenever they want. And think of the hours of footage we don't see. What an archive of an amazing childhood!
It's great to see Bradley getting in there and helping.
I can’t get over how clean that truck is. Ur such a amazing dad Derek! And ur kids are so involved and have so much knowledge at such a young age. I was the same way as them but I can’t get my kids involved doin mechanic work. I’ve tried so many times. Poor Bradly you put a choke hold on him with the driveshaft
Derek you would make a awesome high school auto shop teacher,those boys will be building their own car or truck in no time.The part under the truck taking the drive shaft off with Brad was hilarious.
@22:40 when he drags the u joint across Brad's face so nonchalantly, watched it 10 times "thanks buddy" i'm crying xD
Your boys are so respectful. Much appreciated by this old man.
They're the best
Respectful parents have respectful children, and vice versa.
Respect is given and taken...good job
I would put a Two, four barrel carb or the sniper which ever would improve the performance and gas mpg. it's heartwarming to see you working with the boys.
They will be far ahead of most kids their age, already knowing how to rebuild engines and get old cars running again. You are a Great dad Derek!
I hope some day I can be as good of a father as gpu are Derek. You and Jessica do an amazing job with parenting. Stay blessed my friend.
Really nice seeing the boys working with you in the shop. Especially seeing Brad, don't see him alot.
Haven’t seen Bailey around.
I was just going to say it is great seeing Brad more. These boys have a best teacher.
More fathers like Derek = better world to live in. VGG is run by a damn good man.
Very well said. Definitely second this
Derek, your doing so much to restore the body and interior, PLEASE! don't skimp out on the engine.
30 over new 10:1 flat top pistons, recon the rods, new cam (even if it stock) lifters and deck the block and head.
Reassembly and no worries to for the new owner. I'm in my 70's and I've been drag racing and have a shop for over 50 years
Its worth the money for the rebuild.
As a fellow Tennessean I tell you more kids need be out working like yours especially with their daddy. A guy loves to see a show like this one
Really enjoyed seeing Bradley in the video. Looks like he really enjoyed his time with Dad.
At 43:35 seeing you pass on your knowledge to your boys is very touching. Just like my grandpa and my dad.
I was 18 in 78 I have always thought that the 78 and 79 was the best looking model trucks that Ford ever put out it brings back a lot of memories for me keep up the good work !
It's so nice to see your kids out working with you and learning valuable skills that will help them. You're a great father.. keep up the good work 😊
Great to see the little humans being part of this build. In the end all that matters is family✌
If I win this truck I’ll have those little humans sign it for me.
Great to see you showing your boys what's up.
Man I was thinking about how much I miss messing with my kids, wasn't so funny when they got me back tho lol!!
Derek should get a mullet wig and be team Mullet Brothers
I have watched most of your videos over the years… Watching you work with your boys is probably my favorite. This is what its all about.
Agreed!
You got that right! I do love a revival but the boys are the real feels for me.
This is true education at its finest. Passing on knowledge from a lost era and quality time with the kids. Couldnt get much better.
Derek I've been a long time fan of your page. I love ya Brother but I gotta say, the way you have raised them boys is absolutely awesome. Such a great family. You and Jessica have done such a great job. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Nice seeing the two youngest helping. Good work on the other two rigs as well. Good kids, great work ethic. Simply well raised and proper parenting. This old man (77) is proud of you all.
You are a very fortunate man, Derek. You’ve got some great kids!
Always good to see Bradley in the shop. He's growing up. Was pretty young when he first started showing up in the videos years ago.
Can we all just stop for a moment to recognize the quietest garage door known to man?!?! I didn’t hear a thing!! Impressive!!
Torsion spring and jackshaft openers for the win!
I have the same setup ,they are great!
Derek,
A feller loves each and every one of your videos, but the ones like this that include the family are some of the best you’ve produced. Makes a feller wish he had this kind of bond with my old man. Cheers 🍻 to you and yours. Sure do appreciate you all.
I hope one of the kids keeps what he has started going. I love to work on cars with my dad. didn't have RUclips I did all the work and he told me what to do gust like this. the kids won't miss it till he's not there. my dad always said one day You'll understand.
Those boys are the best. What a treat watching them work and learn from an exceptional dad and teacher.
Hey Derrick, I’ve watched your show Road Worthy Rescues from episode 1 but I was introduced to your RUclips channel around about October of 2023 and I have now watched every single episode. I’m a huge fan, love the type of father and family man you are, and now have a couple of your hats and shirts. Thanks for letting us fans into your day to day my man!
You are saving the planet, Derek, by saving these cars. Disposable cars are no good. Just wrenched on my 1929 Ford Model A yesterday and had a great time! Drove it 36 miles to the garage and back. 72 miles total. It was a good day!
What a great father sons project. We need more fathers like you!!!
I love the fact that your boys are getting involved with your builds! Little Bentley is Bad Ass!! I call him "Mullet Man" what a great helper!!!!
My suggestion would be a one or two barrel EFI It would help keep the fuel economy in check a little more than a four barrel would.
Derek, being a 27 year old lad from central Illinois that’s been on the RUclips’s since it was first on the internet. You are absolutely the most entertaining person I have ever watched. We appreciate all of the content you provide to us free of charge. Your energy has motivated me to get out there and start my own restoration!
Lad and you're saying your from Illinois?! Yea okay!
My crowd knows you have a gem in that 300.
Brings back memories of me and my Dad rebuilding engines. Your boys will remember this forever. Great job guy.
I gotta tell ya, watching you wrench on a straight 6 with your boys brought me right back in time to the 70's and wrenching with my dad on our old 1964 Ford straight 6. Still one of my fondest memories from childhood. My dad passed a few years ago and watching this episode brought a tear to my eye.
I'm right there with you . And I have one of those old 300 inline six engines in an 83 f-150 4x4 with over 300,000 miles on it and still runs very well.
What an absolute joy to see Derick. Dad taking time to teach his boys the trade, good old family values that we can all take a lesson from. thank you so much .
What a pleasure to see the three of you working together! Derek laid-off the humor (mostly) to straight-talk with his boys and get the motor out and partially disassembled. I hope that if you hop up the motor some, it'll still burn regular unleaded gas, as the higher grades are too darn pricey for a working soul!
It's a beautiful thing watching you & your boys working together. We need more of this in our country and maybe it would be headed in a different direction. God bless
Young Dads like you give a guy hope for the future!!! Love your channel!
I love the way you and the kiddos work together. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good relationship with my dad. I really appreciate how close you guys are.
Hey Derek, cam , Fuel injection and supercharger. 8psi of boost!, Headers
5 speed manual transmission.
Would be a great combination for that truck........
Hello, I am reminded of a RUclips episode on power nation. Buzzin half-dozen. Lot of good info.......
Made 270hp n/a, I would recommend adding a torque storm pro charger And sniper fuel injection.
Budget Permitting. LOL.
I'm glad you're keeping the 300 in there
Episodes with you working with the boys are my favorite. You and Jessica are raising some nice young lads there .
I bought a truck just like this in 1985. I just got divorced and had 3 children. I was a single lady and every one thought I was crazy. First thing I ever owned that I paid cash for. Loved that truck. Drove it everywhere until someone hit me from behind. Saved my life but was never the same after that. I love your shows. My husband got me stuck on you. Thanks for what you do.
One of my friends in Jr high lived with his recently divorced Mom. She purchased a nice pea green fully loaded 73 f100 xlt lariat for the main car for the two kids and herself. She said she loved how the cab heated up so well and so quickly, and how it seemed so strong and dependable (there’s something deeper there) and safe. I recall he and I walked to a local convenience store at twilight and she was to pick us up after work. It was a cold winter sunset in Illinois and I can still feel the warmth of that cab that just seemed to envelop me as I slid in. She was right there was something so cozy comfortable and safe feeling. I ended up buying one very much like it when I was 16 in 1982. I traded a 76 firebird that was eye catching but just helpless in the snow, for the 74 f100 xlt in a medium olive green and all the chrome and bells and whistles. What a good truck that was I put many miles on it past 100 k when no one seemed to do that. I spent all my graduation money on rebuilding the heads at 80k mi as they were starting to puff smoke a little. I don’t regret that decision. I miss that truck.
I find Derek so relatable and he really has started a massive trend on RUclips.
I absolutely love seeing you out there with your small humans. It's a father's joy to see his children learning, growing, and enjoying a hobby with them. The confidence your boys respond with shows they are learning well, and I REALLY enjoy seeing that.
I can’t wait until my son is old enough to help me work on our old rigs. Nothing makes me happier than to see your boys follow in your footsteps.
This day n age..he going to get old enough want nothing to do with autos but rather get his hair and nails done
Your boys will remember these days for their whole life. I helped my dad work on cars when i was a little and it has a great time.
It’s so awesome how you let they boys do the work. They will be A plus mechanics before the graduate high school. Keep it up brother, you’re doing it right.
Derek's patience and sense of humor are impressive. I would have gotten snippy thousands of times by now with the frustrating issues you deal with seamlessly. You set a good example. Also, keep the 300 six.
I love the good-natured ribbing you give the boys and the drive shaft across the cheek😂. I believe it prepares them for the real world💪🏽
I laughed when he thanked him after the driveshaft to the chin.
No children were harmed in the making of this film😂😂😂
Good job Bradley! Kept the truck from rolling off the lift!
I love to see the boys enjoying their childhood being around with you and teaching them the good stuff. And that accidental no accidental hit with the driveshaft was funny🤣 I could see his face like "wtf"😑🤣
My dad had an old Bell Telephone van with the 300 six and the highway rear end gears which was made worse by it having a 3 speed transmission! I really enjoyed this video. There are a lot of fathers out there but it is special when you are a dad or daddy!
FINALLY! A Man comes back to Ford Country. Love the channel.
if chev, built a decent truck, engine,,id buy one.. 4 ford 4x4rs,,1 dodge 340 r/t chall..
Actually, it was the only thing available at the moment. lol
It’s nice to see both Bradley and Bentley out there helping with the projects.
Sir, this video is a testament to your great parenting as much as anything with the truck. Bravo
One of the things i love about Derek is all the ways he can describe things. Like the Michael Jackson, i had a good laugh about that one. And all the safety he has when the kids are involved. Like put on your safety glasses. Air highfive cause you should not go under the engine. Watch your hands. He makes sure that the kids are safe around this so they dont get hurt.
Its my middle boys 16th Birthday today, and we just bought a 1967 F100 as his first vehicle, it needs some work of course, but I'm exited to start it with him, so I look forward to watching this build with you guy's
That's awesome. Get him out there wrenching and learning. Document the work because one day you'll be gone and your son will wanna tell his kids about building that truck with you.
I absolutely love at what an amazing Father Derrick is. If anyone ever wonders how to be a great Dad, positive roll model, and a great influence on your Sons, well pat close attention to Derrick, he is from everything ive seen over the years how a Father should be and how you should treat your boys. Ive seen him off camera, and he is no different. He doesn't put on an act for appearance sake. He is just an awesome human being and from what I can tell, he and Jessica are doing it right. Those are 3 boys who will have respect, morals, and integrity. 3 very important values that most people today have no clue what those words mean. Derrick keep doing what your doing, you are a true inspiration.
It's love like this that helps keep kids on a good path and away from bad choices.
I agree, the strait six should stay! I'm a huge fan of the old strait sixes. I learned to drive in a 65 Chevy nova station wagon with a 235. I love that truck you're workin' on! Love your channel!
I believe that leaving the same, restored engine o
Is the best idea💡
Wow, Bradley is getting big!
Nice pick for a give away.
I had a Brother with a 300 6,He put a 4 barrel & split headers & bit of a cam in it & it was a beast. Love this build. 👏👏👏
I can see Brad becoming an engineer and Bentley the "hand's on" fella. Genuine nice and good kiddos. You're a ripper of a dad. Reminds me of myself and brother wrenching with my dad back in the 70's and 80's in Aus.
Derek, this show brought a smile to my face and a tear in my eye..... I used to go the body shop with my dad when I could and learned how to get started on autobody repair... So happy to see what you are doing with your youngins..... Keep up the good work!
Derek for president 🇺🇸
Derek would tell you to abolish the destructive government just like our founding fathers have
I’ll second that!
Three times that 🇺🇸
I do believe Mr barbieri would do a better job than who we have in office currently😂😅😂
He is far to good for that
Kudos to you Derek for involving the boys, teaching them skills and values that will last a lifetime... all while letting us watch over your shoulder
My first truck was 1978 Ford F100. Short box Flairside 351W. 3spd with OD. Loved that truck. Brings back great memories of me and my Dad wrench in shop.Love this!
Bentley shaking his head in approval at "the plan is, boys. i don't have one" cracked me up! i love this channel
So glad you're keeping the 300 I6. That is an amazing motor!
Had an 87(?) F250 2wd I6 300 work truck. At 100k mi. it wouldnt start one morning. The spark plugs had never been changed. New plugs=VROOOM!
You two young men are blessed to have a father like you do.
I’ve watched this one a few times now. I learn something new each time. I have a 69 with a 240 engine. I’m getting up the gumption to start what y’all are doing. I really love how you pointed out to your youngest that you noticed him being inquisitive about the pistons being a different color. You not only help your boys to learn but you are encouraging them too. Great job !
They respect U because U respect them. It can be hard when things are not going as quickly/easily as planned, but they are just learning what you already know. You are a good teacher for your boys, but your viewers as well. Thank You.
A fella had a shop full of good help on this episode. Looking forward to seeing that ol Furd come back to life. It's gonna be a goin to the tavern rig for sure.
