Forgotten Big Block Truck- Will It RUN AND DRIVE After 16 Years? 

Andy, thank you for your service!

Thank you for your service

God bless Andy and thx for all you do. You guys are heros in your own right

Don't lose all faith in kids. They're still kids. Even in this heatwave I find I can't keep kids from being outside

Andy thank you for your service my friend. I can't say it enough to you guys. I wish I could give more than just a "thank you"...

I agree...

Amen 🙏

Not having a good father sure taught me how to be a good one

@@natewatt3537 I can definitely agree with that..

@@natewatt3537 can relate unfortunately

At the Jeep factory here, I'm impressed how they can back new Jeeps up on top of 2 levels car haulers during a blizzard!

single mothers. It's only going to get worse.

If you don't tell kids that they can't do something, they can do pretty much anything.

parenting skills

Do you live in a chop zone

As

Came to say the same thing, but you have a better way with words. I love watching Derek with the little humans.

Totally agree Keep up the great work

Mine passed last year. I learned in a 77 scout. 🕯️🙏

Our loved ones live on in our memories and dreams

It seems to be Bentley

@@vincedibona4687 Thanks. Autocorrect got me and I didn't check it. A couple wobble pops in if you know what I mean

@@andrewobrien6282 Good to hear it, cheers 🍻

That there is pure square body heaven

Keeps your neck from burning

I absolutely agree 🇺🇸

When I was at Montage for a concert, I got a picture of a fella with a majestic mullet wearing a shirt that says "Mullet Lives Matter" It's in my community section of my RU-vid channel.

Pay no attention to the yanmar under the hood😂

Dual exhaust mullet too

Guys

Mm 24:44 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Kids these days are in big trouble lol my 14 year old saw the tape deck in my car and asked if it's where "the mini dvds go"

😊😅😊 m,

Well you got a fella wondering what Larry bird is up to

@@NoWr2Run thanks man

@@NoWr2Run had my own little episode of vgg. And the lessons from the Bob Ross of mechanics himself, definitely helped out.

...help me understand, why would a 78 Malibu be interesting? Im seriously asking because I had one.

@@jackolson8775 because there's not too many of them left?

@@jackolson8775 Because it's a 78 Malibu. Is that not enough reason?

Seriously G Dog, I sit here and say ooooh you could have burned your Dad on that one, Derek is just ripe for the picking all the time lol

People don't appreciate things

I grew up the exact same way! If you want to hear a song that will bring back many memories and maybe make you think you're pealing onions. Listen to daddy's cup by the drive by truckers. My exact childhood.

Same here man miss them days forever....

1987 D250 here.

I love the red/green show but actually fixes things too

The little humans tend to grow up really quick so you need to make time for your little humans so will they come out great in the end. More parents out there across our great country and many others cuz I'm sure this goes worldwide although providing for them is our number one goal in life as they're young. There is an age where all this knowledge will soak into them and if you miss that age there behind the curve. So wholeheartedly make time for them little humans it will be the most reporting thing you will ever do. Now I'm not saying there won't be challenges along the way LOL but too many parents try to make up for it when the kids are on their way off to college or out of college and by then it's almost too late. I think the biggest thing that really makes people understand how time truly flies by is think about how many years you were in high school and how quickly you can go through those memories in my day high school was 4 years and it honestly flew by in the blink of an eye. So any parent truly needs to understand that they grow up way quick and any parent thinking they need to spend time with their kid good for you make that your goal summertime's the best time to get away with your kids if you can do it totally rewarding in the end when those kids are old enough to start making those decisions themselves in their twenties thirties forties and you're 70 LOL time just takes us way too far away from each other and the kids go and start living their lives definitely recommend making those memories so they remember you laughing and then learning from you. Because as parents we have so many lessons that we have learned that we could give them to make their life just that much better. Well worth the time and and if you lose a little money in the end that's okay the time spent is priceless. So everyone enjoy your kids teach them how to be great adults. And you will receive the rewards throughout their life knowing that you made that little human and you taught them well. Kudos for recognizing it's time to spend more time with the kids I am replying to one comment but buddy I think you are right on track and recognizing the fact that you can do more so worth the time... 💯👌👍 Enjoy them while they're young!!!

Get to getting brother. You gotta walk the fine line between Dave Ramsey and life. Enjoy those little fellers now, they won't be like this for long. My little brother is the same way, busts his hump for the littles. Gotta enjoy them too.

If you're in a position to do so, there are many, many children waiting for adoption or fostering. You can give a child an unimaginable gift if you are able to!

I wonder what Dan Aykroyd is doing today? 🤷‍♂️

Oh no, he will never be able to use that CB Radio he was never going to use anyway.

I recognize that antenna mount mine was a stubby on a swivel.

I'll transistor input stage it then

@@ViceGripGarage it's like that old TV commercial says , " the more you know". 😂

Any vehicles used in the north, just rotted severely, it's a shame. It would be great to have a nice one today.

@@andrewmoens8614 it was pretty cool he paid $6,800 brand new. The problem today is he got about 10mpg with nothing and 7mpg pulling his camper. That is better than the 3mpg my Uncle got with his Chevy motorhome. Lol

If it coming out the top its most likely floats are stuck down and not floating up to stop the fuel from pumping in and its coming out the vent tube. I liked him trick of pouring the cleaner down the vent tube. Might free up your floats!

@@dquinn8755 Yep, freed them up, all good. Been sitting for a long time. Thanks.

This truck is a big block 454 cubic inch engine. Pay attention

@@ANOCKS sb= square body.

@@stephengordon576 I was wrong, please forget it

@@ANOCKS all good fella

Make a good Halloween 🎃special

I'm truly sorry for the loss of your father. I'm glad you have some good memories with him. This channel is awesome because it has as much to do with family and hard work as it does with the vehicles he works on

Thanks for watching

like its not what this channel is about however... I'm sure Derek is more than capable of pulling it off , get the guys in to help out now and again over a few months. would make for some different content

2nd that idea 👍

That would be cool i am sure truck car would turn out awesome looking But that’s what makes Derek so cool and different cars and trucks don’t have to be looking like brand new to enjoy them and to encourage others to save restore and to enjoy classic vehicles

that's what they did with the "POWER TOUR" crewcab...

@@gben7084 Not a showroom restoration on the crew cab. They stopped short of paint and body work. I would consider the crew cab a limited resto-mod.

🥉🏆

you are amazing. I could use your help.

For real dude. High waters no socks and he's giving other people shit. Plus he's the boss. Totally agree with ya.

Agreed. Go back to stock lenses!

Me too!
