ABANDONED Ford F250 - First Drive On The HIGHWAY In 25 YEARS!
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- This classic 1967 Ford F250 was saved off a property a year ago by my son and me. It had been forgotten on a property by a farmer that had apparently given up on the truck. We did get it running, but it had a host of issues to still work through that kept it off the road. A year later, we're ready to get it on the road officially. In this video, we'll be putting a complete brake system including all hard lines, soft lines, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and even hardware, bearings, and seals. How do YOU think the first drive will go?

Anybody else find themselves talking to themselves, but using Derek’s voice? It keeps me calmer in the garage, and my kids have now gotten used to me saying “That’s fine, everything’s fine”. 🤣
No, no it's not *shakes head and walks away*
Please!, Help me to understand, What's goin' on!
I went to Walmarts today to get the wife some pears, the first baggy tore, then the second, and I said "Will someone help me understand?" lolz
Haha yes !! I was teaching my son how to make a coffee the other day and I said “ just get the old boilator over there “
RIGHT NOW! huh? who said that???? lmao OK, OK, OK, I admit it!
As a mechanic with 35+ yrs experience I'm so glad to see you sharing all this information from your thinkalator and helping the younger generations with the older stuff
I thought Bradly was going down once he started to do the limbo with that heavy wheel, but he pulled out of it like a champ. Good save Bradly.
This is a lucky kid. Hes got a pretty level headed father from what iv seen. He gets to learn a important trade at the best age. Hell do well...
Wow, a kid who wants to learn some valuable skills with his Pop, building knowledge, friendship and respect......city kid: carpal tunnel farm kid: hands full of callouses at 11 yrs old
Hi there. I wanted to let you know that you have been really supportive with your videos over the past 3 weeks. I am recovering from corona and could not do more than lie on the bed. Your videos helped me get through the days. Thank you and greetings from the Netherlands 💪🏼👍 Dion
Derek, so amazing that your kids are involved in your hobby. Says something about a Dad when his kids want to hang around with him. You and Jessica must be great parents!
Thank you Paul
@@ViceGripGarage 100%
I'm thinking that kid is just going to take over the channel one of these days!
VGG is currently my favorite automotive content - CZcams or otherwise.
awesome, thank you
@@ViceGripGarage , it's mind bottling how much awesome content you put out and how fast you do it! I've had to learn how to use the bell thingy to keep up!
Never fails to entertain 👍🏼😊
I love your vlogs
Ppl nobody
Can't beat a father son project be memories he'll never forget
Some kids just aren’t interested in these things, what I learned from doing this from my dad I’ll never forget that’s forsure
Props to the kid, he took that tire to the face and didn't miss a beat.
And he has a smile on his face when it happens 😂
But I doubt he’ll call it a Goodyear
He's pretty strong too.
He'll make a good Boatswain's Mate
My grandpa would say it builds character
We got a 66 f 250 two years ago when y son was 15 so he could learn to drive too. We are about to do the brakes too. We rebuilt the 352 engine and learned how to weld too. Great fun. Now we got a 64 Tbird for son number 2 they just put the engine back in it last weekend. It sure feels good working with the boys and glad to see you sharing the same experiences. My boys brought me to this sight after they kept calling the car parts by your names like sparkulators and fire maker. Love it.
Right in the feels Derek!! I was probably 11 years old when my dad taught me to drive his '67 F100 Ranger long bed on "back roads". Spending a lot of time in the middle with the underdash A/C freezing my giblets and only allowed to 'steer' occasionally. The moment finally came where I was behind that huge, skinny steering wheel, all those pedals down there (what do they all do?) and that column gearshift. I did quite well, I had that clutch held to the floor with my tippy toes and my knee locked. I wasn't gonna stall that 352 V8. There was so much going on!! Both legs dancing on so many pedals, my right arm shifting gears and my left hand keeping that big 'ol wheel centered with those tires "between the mayo and mustard LOL!!!!!". We were on dirt roads in undeveloped areas where you could shoot guns and drink beer while the dogs ran around.
You can take everything from me, but you'll never take the best memories of my life!! I am so glad to have front row seats for you to share those same memories with your son.
Vice grip garage is literally my favorite channel to watch.. I really love the fact that hes out there bringing all these classics back to life after all those years sitting... Also even though he claims to be an "idiot" its very clear that he knows his craft very very well... I love the way he incorporates humor into everything. Dad jokes for days... 💯😆😆. Keep doing your thing man.. Id love to get into this myself..
Derek, please, I say please, wear as mask when blowing that dam asbestos brake dust. Good to see your Son helping out and learning!
You got to film your son learning to drive would love to see that Derek 🙏
You’re such a good dad my dude. I hope to be like that when I have kids. Thanks for always being a great example to us younger folks.
Sideswiping....it's just a part of learnin' ...Truer words were never spoken.
It's called a glancing blow
Goes along with "Rubbing is racing".
I was more of a reversin' and smashin'
"She stops on a dime and I owe her money," Classic!
darn thing anyway, haha
Love how he says 'I don't know' all the time...and he damn well knows.
A fella took a s10 apart 2 years ago and had a baby, then the truck sat untouched for a year and a half... after watchinging and listening to at least half of your videos in the past few months at work... now you got a fella making progress again! Thanks for bringing my drive, right back around.
I love that this will be your son's first truck, it's great to see him working on it and seeing you teaching him the right ways..
thought you son did great when he pulled that wheel off ,for a second thought it might be to heavy ,but the little fella held on, great to see father and son working together !
Total respect Derek
Some of my fondest memories are working with my Dad “RIP” and learning
Teach em skills besides modern games and texting
“I gotta keep it between the mustard and the mayo” 😂😂😂
LOL, I was laughing pretty good at that one. This guy is full of funny things i've never heard before... Love it!
Can’t give it too much ketchup right out the gate
“Well, don’t get any hail damage”. A guy really raising his youngin’s right
I love seeing you working with your kiddo. Keep him learning! A wise old man once told me "if you ain't learning something new everyday, you ain't doing it right"
“The cab mount, she’s Wi-Fi” ...
Made me roar with laughter!
Well, to be fair, the truck is at least 3 years too old to be Bluetooth.
12:12
Beat me to it. That one killed me.
I Laughed out loud too.
Yep I was waiting for that. I've never seen one of those old fords that didn't have the body mount delete. It's probably just a rust belt thing, but I have never bought one of these because of it, and I've looked at dozens. But after seeing the blind engineering just on the front axles, I'm glad I never found one. Talk about over complicating something simple.
Sure did enjoy that one Derek, great music, you & i have the same taste, could'nt believe Bradley held that wheel & put it down, he's a strong kid to do that, his head saying dont drop it, those folks that sent him money, there's some lovely people out there, he wont forget that when he grows up, that pickup will be his pride & joy.
Derek i really love the fact you have your boy in there working on stuff.
Teach them young my friend.
Agreed
Well I'll be Dipped! I forgot about that phrase. My Dad would use that. He was a mechanic, this channel reminds me of my childhood reviving stuff. Thanks for your channel! It always brightens my day!
Thanks for inspiring me to get my 1987 Mustang GT Convertible started. It’s been sitting for 14 years. Watching your show motivated me to start working on it.
A guy is only thirteen minutes in and wheezing! This is the funniest one yet!
Glad you're likin on it
Hope not, but might be from the asbestosis...
@@FangBlah A lot of people mentioning asbestos. I think in my own country (Australia) we banned asbestos pads in '03. In the US, you guys were ahead, and banned them a decade earlier. I guess there's a chance a truck parked for 25 years may have asbestos pads - still, I'd be interested to know if manufacturers started phasing them out before then. We've got older houses jam-packed with the stuff, so a lot of it's still out there.
@@FangBlah suppose a feller might do the right thing and go get checked.... Nope. :)
@@MattExzy Here are a couple interesting reads about it in the US: www.asbestos.com/
www.asbestos.net/legal/laws/legislation/asbestos-bans/
Seeing as how much you were swerving and countersteering, a guy had to wonder....Did you ever put the bolts back in the steering gear? 🤣
OH MY GOD!
I thought the same thing lol
My step-dad had a 67 Ford F150, and it was all you could do keep that thing on the road also. Those old manual steering beasts made you pay attention like nothing else.
That steering box is probably as sloppy as, well I don't have a good metaphor. We'll leave that to Derek.
@@PowersPlays97 As soon as he said "feels a little loosey goosey" I thought. Hmmmmm... did you remember to put those 3 little gosling turney turney holder up things back in?
Keeping her between "The Mayo and the Mustard" ROFLMAO! Cold beverage shot right out my left nostril!
Thanks for watching
Same! Hahaha
Yeah that one got me too! I have started to steal Derekisms such as "the drinker's side" and "lightening whirler". Guess "between the mustard and the mayo" will be a new one.
I just wanna say, I love how you revive old vehicles. I have never bought a new vehicle in my life. Also, I hate dry humor. I always have. It's not funny but I find you hilarious. Not sure why. Keep up the good work! Love your videos. 👍
Patience you have, Great dad you are. One of the most knowledgeable mechanics I have seen in a long time and I grew up in the Automotive industry.
This dude is a library of sayings, quotes, chats and the god damn funniest lines 🤣 and he comes up with them so quick and plays them smooth
I have to steel the "I have to jump on the bleep bloop blop later"
@@guguimke5799 lol on the interwebs
There are tons of imitators popping up on youtube and it drives me insane, like stealing his lines and trying to do the same thing he does.
"She runs like... a kitten dropped in a bowl of milk" 😂🤣 IDK why but that one had me rolling when I heard it.
@@danieldeleon8001 That is definitely my favourite one anyone can try to copy him but they're not going to beat the original.
I am seriously excited to see Bradley throwin gears n spinning the rig around. Your boy is a hell of a kid. He’s well mannered, polite, he listens, he helps (without complaining), he’s FAR from lazy, he’s learning so much so fast and over all just seems so thrilled to be learning so much with his old man. Basically he’s absolutely 180 degrees from all other kids his age/generation. That’s what we need now days in kiddos. I say that with the most utmost respect as the friendly neighbor and not the creepy uncle. Sad fact that I even needed to elaborate on that but now days it seems like a must. My hats off to u Derek and your family. You got one hell of a wife and a boy any true man would be proud to call his son. God bless you all and I hope he grows up to just like u. We need kids like that and not the spoiled lazy shitcans ppl have as kids now who aren’t even 18 and thinks the world owes them everything. Did I mention how parents need to bring the old ass whooping back and tell the government to fuck off when it comes to raising your own kid, long as your not breaking bones or separating joints they’ll be fine. Love the videos and keep em coming.
PS... Get a nice BIG dumpster for ye old truck stopper for Bradley so he doesn’t push it around too lol.
You are correct sir, 100%!!!
got home from work and my boy said "you got a vice grip"-no kinder words have been spoken.
Really enjoyed watching you rebuild the brake system. I owned and drove a 1969 F250 Ranger Camper Special for about twenty years. In that time I renewed the brakes a few times, but I don't have all the tools you have. The lift makes it so much easier.
@23:43, the little man looked up with that smile and was rocking his Momma! Pure joy watching this vid!
My second day at a new job, I’m DEAD, glad to see the upload just makes a fellers night
Glad you enjoy
By the time he's ready to drive full time, he is going to have a beautiful truck. Good job dad.
Just a quick thought, if you forgot to bolt the steering box back down, I imagine that could make her ride a bit squirrelly
I'm a landscaper/snow removal kinda guy. So January and February in Denver allows me time to sit back and relax and watch my favorite go fast channels. I was getting worried thinking Kyle at 1320 was going to let me down and leave me with everything watched and time to kill. But then You Tube was good enough to lead me to your channel. I have to tell you, that you've made a feller very happy that your highly educational information is presented in such a way that I can't wait to find out what else you might leave me rolling on the floor gasping for more O2 with! So please keep Tanya busy and rolling tape while you keep up the awesome work you do! It's a big thank you from Denver!
Great job Derek. Seems the family is also into your hobby. Your humor is one of a kind.. just funny one liners most of us catch ourselves using.
dude is setting the standards on being a dad. something to aspire to when passing the car life onto your kids
I can't remember having good brakes until I was in my twenties . Derek your spoiling the boy .👨🔧
I think this F250 is my favorite of the VGG series. Even more wholesome that is for your son.
I’m almost 51 and off the ball hitting sticks I’m not crying, I had a fantastic childhood and learned a lot about all sorts of things including vehicle maintenance, your kids are so very lucky and I’m a little jealous lol, you might be a lot of people’s perfect dad lol ✌️
That boy will never be out of work. Well done Derek.
Derek needs to host all things cars these companies are slacking big time
Thank you sir
You ain’t kidding
When are the "Help Me Understand!!" T-shirts comin folks? Always a pleasure Derek. I thought Bradley almost needed a back-ectomy when he pulled that wheel! Whoa Bud!
How did I learn auto mechanics from my Uncle? He stood and watched me do all the work under his guidance. His hands were clean while mine were greasy dirty. Gotta learn by doing it yourself. Advice is accepted, but you handle the tools and do it.
A touch of anti-seize on adjusters will be a good investment.
I love your channel ..your son...everything about VGG.I am 74 ..and have done what you do to forgotten junk for 50 years....Derrick.....pleaseeees..never pour gas in a carburetor and crank at the same time....No negative meant here.. Just trying to keep you safe.. Thanks for all your vids. .hope you get this...
I like it where you go completely through the system and make safety #1 concern.
"It's as dry as Betty White's back" ... lol
i asume thats extremely dry nowdays xD
Or maybe as dry as this guy's sense of humor. Deadpan delivery mixed with a car repair video? I just found this guy about a month ago, and he just tickles me. Detached, comfortable country humor that just goes down well on the ear. He'll unintentionally knock a huge chunk of metal off a car with a hammer and say, "Oh, well that'll just buff right out. We won't worry about that." It's a hoot.
Derek needs to host all things cars these companies are slacking big time
I though he said box...needless to say I about choked to death on my own spit LMAO
It's funny when I pause my VGG and I can still hear it playing in my brother room haha we all love VGG!!!
awesome
Cant wait to see a guy teach a little one how to drive a stick, that's a modern day anti theft and a lost art. great work Sir.
I know you say these videos are not necessarily for "educational purposes", but you are teaching me so much regardless. Thanks, Derek.
So glad to see you teaching your son the trade. In a few short years he will be doing the heavy work and you can sit and watch with a nice cool snack or two. 😎
Whenever I start a project I always either steam clean or hi-pressure water blast it before I work on it. So much nicer when you put new parts on.
Gotta tell ya, a guy was impressed. Mozzle go watch another one. Thanks for the hilarious video, Derek.
Appreciate it
He made a point of showing the safety goggles, then immediately took them off and started blowing brake dust in his face. Yelling at my screen didn't help.
If I didnt know better the way he turned the brake adjusters he has the right adjuster on the Left and VISE-VERSA. Those adjusting cables pull the adjusting wheel up to adjust the brakes out, and Derick rolled the wheel down to extend the shoes out for more drag.
asbestos
@@billysmith5721 At least the kid wasn't there to coat those lungs early.
yeah... mesothelioma comes along years later to remind you of all the times you blew the dust out of a set of drum brakes with compressed air. My dad did brake work for about 40 years and it eventually got him.
There was a lot of crud falling out of the vehicle. I bet his boys spend some time sweeping the floor for dad.
This F250 is what got me hooked on VGG. Ive got the ol F100 ive been wrenching on. We Want More FORDS!
“Ask me if i care, i dont” best line of the year
Nice to see your boys “hanging out” with there dad! I have two sons of my own, it’s the best time doing car stuff with your sons!👍🏻
I cuss too much; Loudly.
What a handsome helper a guy has today. Give that little a guy a cold snack & a nice Xmas gift. 🏂
He's a solid young man
Watching a guy working with his boys is cooler than Walt Disney's frozen head.
Boys who seem to take right to it and enjoy it. The man is blessed.
Ted Williams' too.
@@donellmuniz590 might as well throw Timothy Leary's in there.
Zackly ,worked with my Boy till he went to college
John - So while gettin’ your brain “brakelated” you figure more how to teach the micro-adult. Pretty good package to me. Dave in Phoenix
Bradley - Today we're gonna work on MY truck!!!! Love it - raising him right!!! He's gonna be a chip off the ol block!!! Awesome - reminds me of my dad
I'm from Iowa for 43yrs but live in WV now and sometimes a guy sees you driving your junk back through Iowa which is kinda cool probably not...but I'm hooked on watching your content
Derek, we all seen Megan Fox in Transformers. Ain't no way a guy can get a torch that hot!
The boy damn near did a back flip when he pulled that first wheel off there.
Nearly broke the boys nose ,not funny . I hope he's ok .
I thought that wheel was gonna fall on him for a second!
I say it to myself every time I’m done watching your videos “wonder when the next video will be” love your channel you are living a future dream of mine. One of the best for sure man💯
Dude right man is living the life
The best
Brad did a good job of staying with the tire when he took it off. For a minute, I thought it was going to take him down. Good job Brad.-
True Dad. God bless you Sir. Watching you with your boys brought tears of joy to me. That's how you raise real men. Thank you Derek. So glad this old soldier found you. I was born on Wisconsin, don't cha know. I still call it home. Went to Tech school in Antigo to learn how work on vehicles. Your way is better. Its fine.
Reminds me of my dad working in the garage with me. The best of memories. Good job!. Always enjoy your posts
Brings back memories for when I eas high school I drove a 70 f250. My dad and I replaced the brakes but I don't remember it having those cone shape washers on the axle.
Charlie Pride is 86 my grandma loved him.. You have good taste in music..
He was awesome. Grandparents watched him in Montana on their honeymoon at the bar. He was just startin out
When he came for a visit to middle earth way back in the I don't know may be like the early 80s or something. Fella got taken to one of his concerts in Christchurch NZ. Now that's a memory a fella can take some Pride in.
You may have said it and I probably missed it, but I would expect you rave about your love of that lift every time you use it. What a fantastic tool that must be after years of being on your knees and on your back to just stand there next to it and work on it!
Taught my boys on a 73 f250 4x4 with no power steering or power brakes. 360 4 speed manual. They learned really easy
Blessings from Texas
I love your videos! I get to learn the things I wanted to learn from my dad but without the yelling and throwing things plus lots of laughs! Thank you for your videos!!!
OMG I think it’s great your boys are in the shop sometimes and learnin how to wrench on the big puzzles. Love the episode keep it up
I about pissed myself laughing when he sprayed off the brake cylinder, and yelled "Get Some". Atta Boy!
You're a great dad Derek! Your boys will cherish the days spent learning from you for the rest of their lives.
"Hail damage"... Good one! 🤣
Thanks
This is the build that got me interested in this channel. Please keep chippin' away at the improvements! Would love to see more videos and potentially donate for upcoming projects.
I don't even miss going out to the movies with episodes like this one.
Thanks Derek👍💪✅
The boys got themselves one heck of a Dad! I did the brakes on my 67 Fairlane, and got the parts from Brake and Equipment in Minneapolis. Those folks are worth their weight in Miller High Life.
Your kids are gunna get hired at shop years from now and will drop “the thunder maker” or “the Tanya Harding” references and receive some straaaange looks. I like it
🤣🤣
Love your channel VGG is the one Auto channel I watch every video of and go back and watch all your old videos to. You were meant to be in front of a camera! Got some great young men around you to help you out as well! Always look forward to new videos and and up watching every second! Thanks for having this channel for me to consume!
I’ve got my dad’s 1981 Ford pu. And have had several others through the years. Some people don’t like doing brakes but it’s enjoyable for me. I have watched this video several times always get a kick out of it.
Every time I watch you and all them other "fixin' up junker" channels, I'm reminded how much fun this kinda work isn't. And why I quit doin' it.
“Lo and behold I did find it where it should have been the whole time, the paint cabinet.” Love it
That Jack for the lift is bad ass! I need that in my life.
its a alignment lift the two jacks have wheels to move them
74 is surely your number for this vid dude. So cool to hear you taking the extra time on the BRAKES for the boy.. a good dad Derek is!!!!
Just an FYI, I found over forty+ years of working on axles that use conical lock washers, all you need to do after you remove the axle flange nuts is tap each flange stud on its end with your Tonya Harding. The washers are spring steel. The vibration on the studs will pop the washers right out. Every once in a while you get a stubborn one but I have never once used a torch on those flanges. And I have been doing it a long long time. Give it a try next time you have a job like that. You will be surprised. It is a trick that I learned when I was a tank mechanic in the Army.
be a bit careful with that brake dust the old ones were asbestos lung killer stuff just watching out for ya
Yeah, maybe use the mouse sucker on the brakes rather than blow on them
Hose 'em down with the garden hose first before a guy starts messing with the inside. Then hose 'em down again when finally opened up. No more dust!
My first thought.
that's what i thought too, not worth to take a chance, healthproblems usually shows up 2 decades later...
Yeah always chuck some water over them before you start poking about
I will no longer acknowledge temp readings displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. How many volcanos is that now? Haha thank you VGG good stuff as always.
"Went with the chilli, it felt good!" Love it dude! Keep bringing machines back to life, we all love that too!!
A labor of love! I'm wondering if we will see a 'Steering Box Adjustment (tightening)' video.
I really don't understand how people give these videos a thumbs down. I crack up from all his videos and he's literally never frustrated nor mad in any of his videos. I'll bet those 190 people who gave it a thumbs down are the type of people when they get a little mud on their shoes it's the end of the world. People are just so miserable .
