Awhile back I found this 1978 Ford F100 sitting in the hills of Tennessee. I did get it running and cleaned it up a little bit, but the project stalled out. Now, I've decided to rebuild it and give it away!

  • 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!
  • @EvilTribble1
    Inline six gang is happy you're rebuilding the 300.

    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.
  • @jimrusso1988
    Bradley is country strong! The way he held back the truck! Also the way he survived the near decapitation from the driveshaft😂😂
  • @FORCE_PBC
    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!!!
  • @jakec3185
    That driveshaft to Brads face is a classic dad move😂
  • @DakarRaider
    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.
  • Love watching the boys get after the tear down. What a great memory and teaching moment for them. Job very well done, Derek.

    Derek for president 🇺🇸

    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.

    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.
  • @Timothy-NH
    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.
  • 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!
  • @edelbrock18
    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!

    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.
  • @sgttombailes3380
    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 !!
  • @dinonelly
    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.
  • @ShelbyBunton
    Brings back memories of me and my Dad rebuilding engines. Your boys will remember this forever. Great job guy.
