He greeted the old girl like a lost love and I could see the memories flooding back. You gave him the best gift....even if it was for a brief moment....his youth. Don't change that truck one bit. Ride with him and listen.
Some people don't understand that this truck represents 70 years of one family's memories. He sees his grandpa his dad himself in that truck. Memories of the past come flooding back to him. The sights sounds good times laughs and cries of the lives he witnessed. All were faded memories until today. What an amazing gift you have given to your grandpa!
The greatest treasure any of us can have are our memories of good times. This family is truly rich. My, my the joy fifty dollars and a hog has given to you all. Fabulous video!!
I am 70 and I have watched this video a couple of times. Awesome feel good video. You did a great thing. Real nice family. It’s the little things in life for sure! 👍👍👍
I have always felt that people who can restore old cars, trucks, etc. not only restore a piece of history-they bring family together and reminisce the old days, days gone by. There were 3 generations brought together with this pickup truck restoration. Even the gals were checking it all out. What a great hobby!
With so much painful stuff going on in the world today, it was a special gift that you gave us to see something so positive. Rang my heartstrings. I'm a grandpa... and two months ago I got my brother's truck. As he was passing, he said, "...you take my truck...but remember...It's always mine". R.I.P., Mac. Thanks to you all...including Grandpa, for making me drop a few tears (of joy). I gotta get out tomorrow and polish up Mac's ride. She'll NEVER be sold.
When your kids do stuff like this, it's your proof that you raised them right. They honor and respect their elders enough to do these things with their own time and money.
This is awesome!!! What a beautiful thing to do. Preserving family history while you're all still here to enjoy it! Hopefully, you guys have some fun doing some cruise ins and shows together.
It's amazing how well things survive not being in the rust belt. It's in incredible condition... Very cool, and a very cool present for your grandfather.
Very possible that this grandpa is finding excuses to take his truck on the road nonestop, lucky you guys to have your grandpa very healthy with you around yet, blessings to all of you guys, you made the old man cry of joy
Grandson I'm so proud of you words can't begin to explain. I know your grandpa was so very happy and I know he's very proud of you like your amazing dad is as well. I'm sorry I'm a tad late to the party but buddy THIS RIGHT HERE is EXACTLY what it is ALL about. And for the ones who don't understand I'm talking about FAMILY the ones who have your back once every one else has turned theirs! Much respect and love brother! God Bless and Godspeed to you ALL!
WOW nice video of your kindness to your Grandpa, It brings back memories of my 1957 IH truck I bought for just $100 while in the US Army in 1970 and I loved that old truck
Reminds me of a friend I lost touch with in NC named Mark Beal. Only adult friendship I regret losing touch with. Just like these good American Family. These good people are the bone and sinew of this land. It just touched my heart is all. Bless you young man and family.
It's brakes my hart when I see videos like this. and I know were this young man is coming from. In 1969 during the troubles in the north of Ireland. My dad brought my mum to the reuplic of Ireland in a Ford consul I came back with my dad to look after our home. I was 14 year's old. I found the car. and by the time it took to sort it out. It was to late. My dad past away. And I niver got to see his face when the car was finished. So this young man is very lucky to see the look on his grandfather's face. What a lovely thing to do. God bless you all of you.
Great, touching video. I kept waiting for Gramps to give u guys a hug or at least a handshake. That really would have topped it off !! So glad you could make someone you love soooooo happy !!
That was awesome.. I could literally visualize the importance of the truck through your storytelling and his emotions. I can tell how your Dad was raised by your Grandpa. Because it's almost exactly how my Father expressed his happiness to my brother and myself. The Era of a real man's man. No hugging, you just kno he loves you and respects you. Great job!
I miss my Paw Paw sooo much. I would give Anything to hold his hand and tell him thank you for making me the man I am today. When I was younger and I felt the world was against me ...He stood in my corner no matter what.
In life it's said that when we reflect on such moments we won't always remember the exact words that were said nor the actions taken but, what we'll never forget is how we were made to feel. Well done on making pops moment a golden one. It counts.
In the 1960's our farm neighbour had a 1954 International . every Saturday afternoon he and his wife would pass our farm on their way to town to go shopping in their International . seeing this brings back alot of good memories because alot of farmers had those trucks .
I lost me Granfather sometime ago, Just lost my father on the 3rd of Jan of 2023. THis video hit me hard! Your Grandfather is so PROUD of that truck, he may not be showing the joy, but i can see it.. Much respect from Detroit.!
I know what it's like losing a dad my dad past 12 years ago him and I always built hot rods and drag cars awesome memories I'm actually building my last one in the honor of my dad beautiful truck
How very cool is that. Lots of memories in that truck and many more to be made now is running again. It will be a family treasure for many more years. Very special 👌 Cheers from New Zealand
There’s just something about seeing a grown man get emotional, when you can tell they aren’t the emotional type, that gets me. This was beautiful, just wish you had given your grandpa a hug at the end of the video. I miss my grandpa dearly. I don’t think I ever got the chance to tell him how much he or his stories meant to me or the time we spent together. I hope he knew, he was a truly wonderful man.
What an incredible moment in time that we can all share in this moment with you and your family. I truly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it with us… your grandpa’s reaction was a beautiful thing. ☮️♥️
It really good to a fmaily history come to life. I was lucky enough in my family that i got the family 1969 f100 and just recently i got my great grandmothers farm. Both are getting restored. Im glad your grandpa was around for you to share this with him!
Happy to see moments like this, it caused a tear to roll down my cheeks. That is one awesome what you guys did for your dad and grandpa, also happy to see another generation of car enthusiasts. Excellent video, be Excellent to each other!
I wish my dad was around to see a kid I had . Even though it suck’s sometimes , It makes me insanely happy to see multiple generations of family’s together . It makes me feel a little bit of that feeling through the screen ! Thanks for filming it
Well, you managed to make me cry... wow what a precious gift you have given him... Your father did a good job raising you and you did the same raising a good kid. Full circle!
Growing up on our farm we had a 1960 or 61 (forget the year) International Travel All which was our regular car a '68 Jeep J6000 work truck and a 1958 Massey Ferguson T35. As a kid I rode a long way in the back of that jeep or standing on the PTO of the tractor. They're all gone, almost certainly scrapped for parts, sure be nice to see them again. As some folks wrote below there's a lot of memories tied up in them, some you forgot you had till you see it up close again. I'm willing to bet the more he saw it and drove it the more the memories came rushing back.
I moved to Seattle 30 years ago from Peru and i got a 1966 International my plan was to restore this beautiful truck unfortunately i let the country so i donated the truck every time i see a classic truck i remember my international .......
This is the sweetest thing to do for your grandpa. Seeing him tear up made me tear up and that doesn’t happen often. You’re blessed to have your grandpa and dad to enjoy the memories that you make with this old truck. I never got to see either one of my grandpa’s and lost my dad when he was barely 55. So I kind of lived this vicariously through you all. That’s a wonderful thing y’all did.
I should know better than to watch a video like this while I'm eating: I nearly choked myself trying not to sob. I learned a long time ago that old trucks and cars are to men what scrapbooks are to women. I can look down the hill and see an old MG midget that I'm sure that neighbor and his wife must have courted in. Next door, that neighbor keeps a monster of an 70's Ford pickup that he moved his family from California to Kentucky in, and the cars that he drove his children and grandchildren to school in. If you suddenly removed all the houses from this neighborhood, you'd be left with an old car graveyard, and I like it like that. It shows that these men around me were family men, and are still reliving those years. That said, I'm not sure if I was more moved by the old International and the tears of the old man, or by the God and country tailgate on the truck in front of it. Kudos to this family. I hope this project gives you memories that the grandson will be telling his grandchildren about.
I remember when my grandad passed away, I went with my father to clean up the place and get it ready for sale. All the times I went to my grandad’s house I never went in the garage, but we went inside to see what needed to go to the dump or could be sold. There inside was a 1958 Dodge pickup, the windows had been vandalized but we popped the hood and saw the Firedome V8 was still intact. My Dad thought about fixing it but donated it to the local trade school, wish he kept it. Glad you got this truck going again!
That is absolutely beautiful God bless that whole family, that’s a beautiful piece of history and this day and age it’s so hard to hold onto those little things that bring us amazing hope and great memories from our past!!! 😊❤ that’s beautiful to say that sweet old man has such a respectful family to show him all the amazing gratitude they have for hhim.
As a grandpa and avid truck lover, this pulled at my heart strings too. What a special and wonderful thing you all did for Grandpa! Can't wait to see it with the clear coat on it. Keep on truckin' fellas! 💪😊👍
This is amazing
I have no grandfather's left. They're all with God.
God bless anyone reading this.
❤🙏blessings to you. We will always miss them. And love lives forevermore 🙏💜✨

Man, you summed it up,what a great grandson and Son! Well done the guys at the shop that got the whole thing roadworthy!👍🇬🇧🇦🇺🙏
@@maxheadroom7687 hahaha.you made my day. Love your name and original.
"$50 and a hog.", is about as country as you can get. Love it
Those certainly were the days
I love it I wish things were back to those days
Bought my first motorcycle for a $100 bill and a case of beer
We found our great grandparent's land purchase bank note that said 'ONE BROWN COW' was paid. 😆
@@sandyjones1014
The good old BARTER system.... we need it back so we can cut "government" out of our business. 😅
That shot of the three generations standing beside the truck is treasure... Americana...
Reuniting a man and his truck! Beautiful story! ❤
What I wouldn't give to ride shotgun with my grandpa in his old truck again. Time is fleeting. Cherish every moment
That old man instantly became 40 years younger as soon as he got behind the wheel. If you know old men and trucks, you know exactly what I mean.
😂😂😂
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! I'm a grown ass man, and I can't stop crying. I LOVE IT!!!
Son,Dad and Grandpa with that truck is a real Family Tradition, priceless.
❤❤❤
The greatest treasure any of us can have are our memories of good times. This family is truly rich. My, my the joy fifty dollars and a hog has given to you all. Fabulous video!!
❤😂always remember the sacrifice of our forefathers and parents is the reason for where we are, respect and Honor them ❤ ♥ 💜 💖
Memories are critical. We are losing family due to distance and apathy. So glad to see younger folks embracing the importance of memories and family.
I am 70 and I have watched this video a couple of times. Awesome feel good video. You did a great thing. Real nice family. It’s the little things in life for sure! 👍👍👍

I started tearing up. Just beautiful. What great people. What an old soul grandson.
I want to congratulate your grandfather and I salute you guys for honoring this man the way you have.
Love to him and all his family. We wish you well!

That's a lovely comment. My best wishes to you, sir - Mac was lucky to have a brother like you, and you him : )
AMEN TO THAT!.
Now I am in tears! What a lovely story.
What a wonderful story!
Geez. I love/hate stories when I’m tearing up and I can’t read the end. Grandparents, memories. Always great.
what a fine young man you have become, i'm positive your grandfather is very proud of you!
To most everyone on this planet, it's a bearen down, worn out old truck. To just a few, it represents part of a legacy and history.
THAT OLD TRUCK GOT MORE WORTH AND VALUE THAN MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET
@@allanfranco4464Preach brother, That old truck has more character than the majority of the people breathing right now. 🤙🏼
Proud papa. You can tell that truck has a special place in his heart
Wow. Family connections still around.....amazing.
Hey, great video. Nothing like being reaquainted with an old friend. It was easy to see your grandad was pleased. Good luck with the clear coat.
You guys got a big ❤ for Grandpa's OG 👴 🛻...💨 truck.
When your kids do stuff like this, it's your proof that you raised them right.
They honor and respect their elders enough to do these things with their own time and money.
*******Grandpa looks HAPPY AS A LARK*******Reminising all the memories he and the ole girl had traveling together.
This is awesome!!! What a beautiful thing to do. Preserving family history while you're all still here to enjoy it! Hopefully, you guys have some fun doing some cruise ins and shows together.
Fantastic! The family can now enjoy the old truck for generations to come! GOD BLESS
Wow, the sound of that engine is amazing. It's in immaculate condition. Clever engineers at C & J's.
Great to have watched this decent act of kindness. These moments will NEVER be forgotten by this family! Well done!
It's amazing how well things survive not being in the rust belt.
It's in incredible condition...
Very cool, and a very cool present for your grandfather.
Very possible that this grandpa is finding excuses to take his truck on the road nonestop, lucky you guys to have your grandpa very healthy with you around yet, blessings to all of you guys, you made the old man cry of joy
I cried with that one. Reminds me of my old ford F100. Loved the video and your a special grandson 😊🇺🇸
What a nice thing you did for your grandpa. Priceless memories for him. You are a special young man.
Grandson I'm so proud of you words can't begin to explain. I know your grandpa was so very happy and I know he's very proud of you like your amazing dad is as well.

I loved your story , you are so right it is more than an old truck , it is your family
Awesome job thank you for sharing
From a 1952 ford panel guy.
He looked at that old truck like we look at a old friend that we haven't seen in a really long time. That's awesome.😢
I like the way he recognized his truck way before it was close to the front of his property.
How true
God gifted family! Bless you all!
One of the most heart touching and wonderful acts of true love we have ever witnessed! Thank you so much!
That was awesome.. I could literally visualize the importance of the truck through your storytelling and his emotions. I can tell how your Dad was raised by your Grandpa.

Grandpa Has one hell of a good truck back...And an even better Son & Grandson to work on it with.
You could tell in his eyes he was reliving the past 70 yrs ...... like another commenter said...." an old friend had returned". Beautiful family!
Thank you young man, you gave me hope for todays youth and the belief in family. Much respect from B.C. Canada
What a beautiful tribute to your grandfather. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Great job for your Grandpa, I can see he is proud!
Well, you managed to make me cry... wow what a precious gift you have given him... Your father did a good job raising you and you did the same raising a good kid. Full circle!
What a great memory restored for grandpa, and new memory for Dad and you!
When them memories come back, that dust starts getting in your eyes :)
That's its in my eyes to 😢
Sending love to you all from the daughter of a Missouri girl"
This almost made me tear up ….almost.
Those old Internationals are hard to come by.
Totally Amazing!!!! 100%👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Almost? Aw, c'mon.
Thanks!
How wholesome! I’m grandpa’s age and a woman. I learned to drive at 11 yo. But at 16, I drove a 1947 IH truck with floor shifter! Fun times!!
The simplest of things are sometimes the most precious ❤
This is great. Thank you for sharing with us here on RUclips!
Growing up on our farm we had a 1960 or 61 (forget the year) International Travel All which was our regular car a '68 Jeep J6000 work truck and a 1958 Massey Ferguson T35. As a kid I rode a long way in the back of that jeep or standing on the PTO of the tractor. They're all gone, almost certainly scrapped for parts, sure be nice to see them again. As some folks wrote below there's a lot of memories tied up in them, some you forgot you had till you see it up close again.
I'm willing to bet the more he saw it and drove it the more the memories came rushing back.
I had a wonderful time seeing popa so imotional it feels good specialy when he says Ill be back
I moved to Seattle 30 years ago from Peru and i got a 1966 International my plan was to restore this beautiful truck unfortunately i let the country so i donated the truck every time i see a classic truck i remember my international .......
