😊❤🙏👊👍🫡🙏🏻🙏🏻

My 85 year old grandfather has a 1951 f1

My 58Ford style side 8ft box and it was an early model made in February of 58 the only difference is late model 58 s is the turn signals on a early were round and in the front on late were rectangle in the bottom of the grill

Why would anyone sell such a family treasure …. Blows my mind …

Wow, thank you for making this video. 😢

Fantastic video that will live on forever to share the memory of Mel and his F100. Outstanding.

Thank you for sharing. My Dad bought a '59 brand new for $2300.00. It was his first new vehicle. He was an WWII Army veteran and at 35 was finally able to afford a new vehicle. He passed in 2004 but I still have his truck and have been trying to restore it for many years. Maybe when I am done you can add another story to your channel. Like the commenter below, I was also a Marine and followed my dad's steps in the military and love for this old truck.

What year did the passenger and driver side window scallops show up? It's a great signature....

That is a Very Sweet Gesture you did!! You will be rewarded many times over for the kindness you showed this Man and His Daughter! Big Shout out for the Memories and the kindness shown, Thank You fir the Video

Wow! I know that feeling sorta! I have owned my 1969 ford f250 crew since a year old 445 k later its been sitting and waiting for a major rehab. 74 years old, and thinking it's time to start restoration and get it back on the road again. Been driving my 70 Sport Custom to a point that I want the four door back on the road. Lotsa memories and it has been a fun part of my children's lives, doubt either truck will ever leave the family

Good video great story

This video really pulled at my heart strings .

What a fantastic thing to do, wow really felt the emotions as if it was me. Found this video after getting our 1959 f600 going that’s been in our family since 1970.

Taillights for these 1957-66 Ford Pickups were supplied by International Harvester if my hunch is on the money.

Before I wrote this I liked and subscribed. What a awesome story. I would like to say thanks to the people who helped out on this project. To see the joy in that man’s face should make everyone smile.

Sooo cool!!!

cant believe channel this doesn't have more subscribers! Great production. Great story all of it

This is just what I gleaned (besides the salty secretions upon my cheeks) from this vlog, in case like @ek6648 you believe Mel had 'Ol Blue' return to his garage... Mel and Ol' Blue and now Eric whom would be the middle man to take 'Ol Blue' and to foster this F-100, this fine piece of a man's life story in order to facilatate 'Ol Blue' on the journey to locate a new owner and home for many miles and smiles to follow. You see Eric was granted the oppotunity to find a new owner for 'Ol Blue' being it wasn't a good fit for his long frame. Eric then purchased* 'Ol Blue' with a promise to find the right 'New' owner. But first a couple improvements were neccessary. Improvements complete Eric wanted to give Mel one more chance to get behind the wheel and actually have the throttle pushed hard to feel the horses put his spine deep into the seat back. There were many people that made this possible and everyone that has watched this is subscribing to this channel, I know I just did. Such a great way to bring a compelling automotive historical and personal story to our combustion powered hearts. *this aspect of what I thought was the arrangement may be not quite how things worked exactly, but whatever and however 'ol Blue' moves on to the next life that awaits that Rembrant with some well deserved rust, the whole story just was so well captured by 'RBR' ...now I'll be going on to see what else Eric has to peruse, maybe even a follow up as this vlog has been out for some 12 months already.

beautiful! amazing story, thank you.

As a guy in his 60s who drives a 1957 f100 I can relate

These vans are unique and we always have to keep them as they are because one day that will make us remember many things that happened in these vans that, even though we did not witness them, make us nostalgic and make us understand more about our past, this man took one out of me. tear .

Wonderful story, wonderfully presented. You do good work. It matters. I hope you do more of this sort of thing, as the world surely can use it. - Ed on the Ridge

Tar? Tar? Tar?😅😮😮😅😂

Oh my what an emotional story .. brought me to tears almost. Wonderful narrated and pictured. I might end up the same since I’m 60 now and own my ‘60 Fridge for 32 years. It had the same blue color back then. I hope I can make another 21 years to catch up to Mel, until I also might have to give it away. Subscribed !

Outstanding video! Well done.

Wonderful story, such a good deed for the old gent. The '58 was so much like our '59 F100, 3 on the tree, 292 V8. Drove it to high school last day. Would ride in the box while my brother did donuts in a gravel parking lot, late '60s. Good memories, that truck...

Great Story! Regards from Germany.

It brought tears to my eyes. Man and his truck, like a man and his dog. Doesn't get much better then that! Just like aged wisky. Great job with great weward. Thanks for sharing.

Who’s cutting onions here.. this is definitely an emotional video. I’m 40 now, and my dad passed down his ‘57 F100 to me when I was 12. This is the first vehicle I sat behind the wheel of. I drove my ‘57 through high school and throughout my Marine Corps days in the early 2000s. I’m currently building my ‘57 and hope to have it finished so my dad can drive it a few times before his time comes. He’s 72 now my ‘57 is what brought me dad and I together. I can’t wait to have the ‘57 so my boys and my dad can cruise it together. Three generations brought together over one truck. My 1957 Ford F100.

well this is the best thing ive seen all weekend!!!

,I will remember this heartwarming story, God bless you

My god this was so beautiful! He has so much love for his baby. He didnt actually sell it right? He still has it right? If you love something this much, you cant part with it!

This video brought tears to my eyes. I'm such an old truck lover and am trying to buy a 58 f100 right now to keep forever and pass onto my favorite human being alive. My grandson. Some people will just never understand what our old trucks truly mean to us fellas. I'll take an old tired creaky worn out truck over something new any day

That was just awesome! Totally relatable. Have owned my 68 Camaro since 1980. Cannot fathom how I’d feel if I ever had to get rid of it. You made a subscriber out of me!

Wow 500,000 miles, that truck was part of his soul

Best video on you tube.🙏

Nice old fridge! I have a 59, should be on the road early summer! I can hardly wait. Thank you for sharing and God Bless Mel. …….Jim

Damn you got me on that one seeing him drive that truck by himself not like he was a little kid and driving his wife and driving the guy and then driving again by himself that was so beautiful I'm not going to go into it I've been through a lot a whole lot in but thank you I needed that God bless you all

We can become so attached to our vehicles they go through so much of our ups and downs in our lives. Great story and camera work.

More videos please

I'm not afraid to say that brought a tear to my eye what did for that old man and his truck was awesome , great job !

Any more coming? What’s the running gear in your panel?

That's a beautiful truck but also sad to hear this story.

I feel like I’m going to be just like him someday with my 86 C10. I’m 16 now and hope I never have to sell it

Nice production quality. Subscribed. Looking forward to more stories.

well done, this is really something. I love that you did this for him, it's so great. I'm glad to have met you and am able to help you. it's the least I could do. You sir are an amazing man. keep up the good work. The quality of the video and the way you were able to capture these moments were incredible. I can't wait to see and hear what's next. Thank you for this.

Hurts just to watch. I'll be there in twenty short years, and still don't have my truck.

What a shame to see the F100 badge is missing from the hood emblems on (nearly) all 1958's I've ever seen. Could someone point the way to a replica source so I can complete mine again? Thanks for this outstanding video!

Hey how much longer til the next video?
