LS and 4L80E Installation In a Square Body Crew Cab C20 

Man, I love this channel! No bs, no drama! All Awesomeness!

Best channel on RU-vid. Hands down. Guy is moving his family and business across multiple states and still comes up with great content every week. You’re the man Derek, keep up the good work

This guy is great. You can tell he doesn't take him self too seriously but the opposite can be said about his work. I'm learning a lot, keep up the great work.

My mom is 74 years old and never misses a show. Thanks for being you, and sharing your life and family.

Haven't even watched it yet - but already gave it a "Like" cuz I know it's gonna be good. Now, without further ado ..... bring the thunder!

One good thing about your short video. No comercials.

Derek's little Bob Ross moment with the flex plate was great. He really is the Bob Ross of mechanics.

I think that's about how big I was when my dad had me turning wrenches on the car. Had me doing the break pads, tune ups, and oil changes by myself at 12. Teaching me to do it got him 6 years of free labor out of me and lazy weekends for him, lol!

Never mind. I see it's the other shop. A feller can't wait to see new episodes in the new Tennessee garage. Congratulations on everything man. Love your channels.

Well a guy from Denmark 🇩🇰 (in Europe) is looking forward to watch and follow another guy - doing this build 👍 stay safe everyone 👋😊

Your sense of humor never gets old! 🤣🤣

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 he said it! “Put a little tree here” of course I heard “a happy little tree”. Thanks for moving to the automotive world Bob. We love you and your landscapes a just as good with a rattle can, and you boiled oil with rag on canvas is amazing.

Jeepers, between the "good enough for the girls we date" and the Bob Ross reference, you had me rolling!

Love seeing your son help in the garage …. he’s gonna be like you dad, your boy will be like you. Cats in the Cradle. Keep up the great videos.

It's weird how time dilation happens when watching VGG videos. Twenty minute videos flash by in what feels like 5 minutes. Looking forward to seeing this build burst into life ASAP.

I have been watching Bad Chad for about a year I love the program but he talks everything to death so started watching Vice Grip Garage what a difference I love this man's sense of humor and he keeps you interested and best of all he is down to earth.

Your boys just make this Grandma smile. They quietly do their job while dad does his. I’m hooked on this channel!

My legs are in pain just watching you work. Age 64 retired mechanic. Still I enjoy the comedy. You crack me up. lol

Should I be concerned that my 7 year old son’s favorite expression is “Bring the Thunder!”?

I’m an Australian car nut and love your channel. No fake BS just totally enjoyable. Well Done.

Now THIS is how to start a weekend!!! Thanks, Derek!

I just love how serious your little helper is, everyy video hes in hes the perfect counter point to Pop without even knowing it, good job Bently!

A guy really appreciates a guy like Derek who step by step builds quality machines and explains all the way. It takes you away from the crap called life being thrown on you non-stop every day. Thank you Derek. 👍

Derek, may you and your family live long, healthy and happy lives!

My Fridays are immediately better when vice grip garage notifications are out wonder what Danny Glover is doing tonight perfect

Hands down my favorite RU-vid channel.

Oh man, "bangin that front end off the ground like a cabin screen door" brings back all the feels from family trips to Eagle River, WI, growing up!!

His delivery: I DON'T KNOW! Makes me laugh everytime. He definitely knows his craft! I am not a car nut, but he explains the process in plain English! Big thumbs up everytime!

Loved the little human running the zing zanger. Little feller getting that know how. Also appreciated the shout out about the ICT BILLET eng mounts. Grandson works in sales there.👍👍

I found VGG after my Father passed away, its been a huge help for me thank you Derek for the awesome content. Being from Tennessee let me Welcome you and your Family to The Volunteer State.

Derek I really enjoy the efforts you and your wife put into this RU-vid thing. Thanks. 🍻

Good too see you son out there with you... Miss those days when my little Feller was with me.... He is now a big Feller doing his own thing.... Enjoy your videos as well as your other channel ....

My youngest is the first of my three sons to share an interest in cars with his dad. Big reason for that is Derek / Vice Grip Garage. His content is friendly, accessible, funny, entertaining, and approaches things the way not-rich, regular working folks would. He presents as a decent man with strong give-back values. I save his content to enjoy with my boys, and that is really awesome on many levels. Thanks Derek and family! And keep it up. You have a bunch of big fans way up in Can-Na-Da!

Yes I'm so glad you came out with another video on the square body

Well I'll be dipped a feller has been anxiously waiting on this build

One of the coolest channels on YT. Happiness is $10K worth of stuff from Summit. Wrenching with your boy. Priceless!!

I recently bought a VGG hat and while I’m at work (making bun deliveries all over the country) I get people talking to me about the channel and how great it is. From Detroit to Queens and my home area in Ohio. Really brings it home how great the VGG channel is and how much it’s takin off!

It’s been 3 days and still no update video.... idk how much longer I can wait!! VIce grip garage is the best channel on RU-vid hands down!!

VGG is the best channel on youtube. i watch every second of every video

I watch these videos every night while smoking blunts. Love Vice Grip Garage.

Nice seeing the old shop. There probably aren't a lot of videos left for that locale.

Good move to Tennessee. I grew up in Kentucky, 10 miles from the state line. People are wonderful and the country is absolutely beautiful. Nice culture and pace of life. You'll love it - and they'll love you. Lots of BBQ, cornbread, and gravy. You know, the kind served in Heaven. Best of luck to you. Sure love all your videos.

I spend everyday waiting for these videos to come out

1 million coming on fast. My family loves this channel. Total clean Awesomeness.

Humble, knowledgeable and low key humour all over the show. One of the best automotive YT channels ever!!

How can anyone not like this guy's videos I just have to say that he's entertaining yet quite smart I think I have seen all his videos now

I went to school, got the career, family lives comfortably and here I am, watching these videos and thinking about what I can go fix or replace on my vehicles. Last week, installed a new alternator, belt and tensioner just because I thought it might be a fun. Great channel, been watching a long time and thanks Derek.

Ill never understand how you can dislike his videos, He's funny knowledgeable and very entertaining… anyway im glad its finally in. cant wait to see it run

I spent most of my week rewatching a bunch of your build series on key cars and this was one of em. Dope!

Why isn't this a television show like American Pickers? This channel is gold and this fellah is brilliant!

Derek, you have so many vehicles I want to see back on the road but this one deserves to be on the priority list. Fingers crossed

I wss mid test drive of a 2000 tahoe. On inspection I was walking around, did two "pssssts" at front door bottoms. And three "I'll be dipped"s when I realized the brush guard, tail light guards and step rails were oem. A diamond in the rough. Second was when the old man had everything worked on at my shop as well. The made in texas by texans door sticker was the third. Love this channel.

Always impressed with your knowledge and work ethic Brother. Plus I like the way you explain things so even a hillbilly like myself can understand the process. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

Always great to spend time with Derek

It's so awesome to see Jr helping in the shop. Wish more kids could have the same experience. There is the making of an American Man right there. Good job Derek.

5:52 this awesome when your garage shadow is caught on cameras, lurking in the background, soaking up all that engine, and old truck ka-knowledge right from the old man himself... cool

The montage music is great. I like VGG doing ONE swap of the LS variety. Just one.

I can have a bad day at work .then come home watch your videos and my day got a whole lot better great work derick 👍🏻👍🏻

ahh the big ol LS. good stuff ,, the anticipation of fire begins .. love .. to you all

Welcome to Tucson Derek and Family I'm really looking forward to meeting y'all manana, but for now enjoy this beautiful night and crack a cold snack. Thanks

The wife and I met you and your family at the kick off of the hot rod power tour in 2019. You sure have come a long way since then. Keep up the good work!

Loved the music during the engine build, went together so well

Trying to find a truck for less than one arm, one leg, and some various bits I'm fond of in Texas has become almost impossible. This guy can just build one. Wish I had the skills. Gonna be a nice goin to town rig when it's done.

THIS CHANNEL ROCKS!!! Just pain awesomeness… yep probably so. Seriously just found your channel two weeks ago and been binge watching ever since! Grew up on a farm with a mechanic Dad just brings back memories watching y’all!! Absolutely great, thanks for what you do Derek! Fan for life.

The guy actually teaches you something every time in his own way. (His Way)😂

yes!! Let's go! Hope the move went well for you and the family

Superb, intelligent, well planned install. So satisfying seeing that lump finally in place and bolted in. Very entertaining vidya fella! Looking forward to the next episowedie.

I enjoy the Explanations and no time crunch we have to save the shop. I am appreciate the time spent thank you

Very cool that your son is hanging out absorbing the knowledge like a sponge.

Love ❤️ this CHANEL !! I’m going to recommend your Chanel to everyone and any won I can. Keep them coming. Robert Rolfe

Sweet, that thing is going to have enough power and torque to tow your entire fleet in one go. It's nice to see genuine content like this. Don't see it nearly enough, unfortunately.

Derek it’s great to see that your family has moved to our beautiful state! We welcome you with open arms! As far as everyone else, please stop moving here.. Our morning commute is already hell without y’all being here, I now have to get out of bed an hour earlier than I want to..

You seriously have the best content on RU-vid when it comes to anything automotive. You are a gem Derek!

Happy to see it finally getting put back together good luck with it

Derek another great video cant wait to see next video on the squarebody

Holy sheet metal, man... the music when you are installing the new Moroso oil pan is purely sublime.... wow!

Very nice! Looking forward to the finished front end!

Thanks for the great content and format! Love your humor! Also, a quick thanks for keeping Lenny Pepperbottom's wisdom ALIVE!

Awesome, was looking forward to the progress on this truck!

A guys gonna miss the work in the old shop but looking forward to seeing all the projects in the new shop.

It’s Good To See Some Forward Momentum On the Ole’ 3x3 Crew Cab Flavor Pick Up.

Right on! Ain't nothing like the cherished memories a boy has helping parents wrenching the garage

Thank the lord it's vice grip for that feel good Friday!

All my buddy are telling me to watch this vid. I haven’t had the time. I was replacing my flex plate on my engine. 👍👍👍👍👍 thumbs up.

I’ve done several square body LS swaps, the Tejas Steelworks engine mounts are the best swap mounts out there. They raise the engine to point that the bottom of the truck pan is even with the crossmember & also allow clearance for the factory low mount AC compressor. They also have lots of other nice square body LS swap parts, such as ECM mounts & fan shroud for dual electric fans.

A guy just started a new job working at a shop i am working on a 66 bronco doing new brakes and efi all kinds up goodies and you have been very helpful.

I’ve missed these build episodes! Excited to see this all come together

Every video on this channel should hit 1,000,000 views.

So happy to see this rig get closer to “goin ta town”.

Best way to end a Friday. Kick the feet up and watch a new VVG episode

So glad I started watching this channel. It’s impossible to watch without laughing lol

I work at Walmart ( you do what you have to sometimes) and I'm way too poor to own a garage or lifts and such. Also, I have to deal with a wife that refuses to crawl under vehicles when help is needed . I recently found a way to change the flex plate, without dropping the tranny, from this guy on youtube; that's where I get all my information. Guy used 6 inch bolts to hold the tranny away from the engine - just enough room to get a wrench up in there and do the job. It worked Great! A big win for the little guy. This type of information is a big deal for us poverty slaves . To NOT pay a shop 100 dollars an hour means the kids get to eat . I love VGG channel because friends and I drive old high mileage cars and this guy is one of us. He seems to understand people who can't afford to buy a car with under 200,000 miles and a few missing parts . I also believe Derek has the grip on what makes some of us tic. He's the type of guy who would understand why a guy like me might hang onto grandpa's rusted out 48 ford f1 ( Not like my neighbors who describe the old gal as "Junk"). I hold on to the 48 and my memories of the old man....despite the numerous disputes with neighbors and a city that claimed "my precious" was "leaking hazardous chemicals into the environment" Hey, just because some don't appreciate, she's still a beautiful yard ornament. Might even get her back on the road one day!

It's wild how much dust and dirt settle on parts in the shop just over time. Those garbage bags with a drawstring built right on in are a nice reusable defense

Oh my gosh. This guy. Probably my favorite car "show" ever. Its like Napoleon Dynamite meets Cooter from the Dukes of Hazzard. I mean that in the nicest way. Very entertaining.

Great to see this project making progress.

Finally getting to watch this gem!! Was working double shifts all weekend and couldn't wait to lay my peepers on this vija

I have a c-10 myself and my goal is to do an LS swap on it as well, so this will give me a lot of pointers on what to expect. Love the channel by the way. Awesome content.

I sure do love the, no nonsense, to the point build process. We dont need to know how to install the tranny, bolt by bolt. Just, hit the high points felllers. Thats what you need. Love your channel

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to find out that there was another vidia for the peepers. I was going through some nasty VGG withdrawals...

Holy crap there is actually a motor in that truck now I sit and watch the dust get thicker and thicker each episode but it actually has the motor transmission in it now I'm impressed
