Will this forgotten Chevy Ramp Truck Haul My Family & Ranger 800 miles? 

Warms a guys heart to see a guy share his knowledge with his little guy.

Let's be honest, it'll never hurt to keep a rig around for Jessica to bail you out if you get in over your head 😂

It is fantastic that your kids work on vehicles with you. Sharing that knowledge is one of the greatest things a dad can do!

Hey Derek, this episode just watching a man and is son together. I have a 5 year old son of my own and always wants to help. He is slightly autistic but very smart. It me a little emotional just watching you two. There is nothing better than working with a little that wants to help. I really appreciate all the hard work you have put into your filming. It really helped me a lot mechanically. I look forward to continue watching.

I don’t know what’s more wholesome, the fact that Derek brings his whole family along for adventures, or the fact that the rest of the family is willing to go on a road trip where multiple breakdowns are guaranteed lol.

She's a keeper Derek. You've always said how handy a ramp truck would be..this is a nice one. Doll her up.

i like how you're kids are at the age where they have no idea their dad is hilarious. lol

Keep that Ramp Truck! Face it with your “Will it run?” Videos and your busy schedule Jessica can come save you on the road! She is already comfortable driving it so she can load the boys up if need be go get you and the new ride. You can just always have it stocked with straps and rescue supplies plus it has a winch so regardless what your driving and regardless how bad the breakdown is you’ll be able to load and go. …… on the subject of speed of the truck the cheapest fix would be just changing ratio to something like 4.10 that big block has enough torque to keep everything happy and you’d be able to go 65 or 70 running without revving it to the moon

Hey Derek, my old man passed away 5 years ago when I was 15. Treated us with the same loving, compassion and caring that you do for you're youngins. I can't say enough how happy I am to see a father raise their kids right. Especially in this day'in'time. Keep it goin' bud. They'll appreciate you forever! It's been 5 years and I still think about the good times me and pops had together, it never leaves!

Your composure and confidence when trouble arises when on the road is amazing. It’s a gift.Your whole family remains calm knowing dad has it covered. Thank you for bringing us along. Beautiful family you guys are blessed 😇

You and your family rock Derek, love the channel, love memories you make with the family.

Keep it and call 'er the Rampilator! Thanks for doing what you do. My wife enjoys the channel as much as I do. She's learned how an engine works and is begging for an old Corvette for us to wrench on so we're gonna do the right thing and get a C3 that doesn't run and see what we can do. Love watching your videos!!!

You can tell Bentley really looks up to his dad and wants to follow in his foot steps. Great dad, great son. Enjoy your videos. Bill

This truck is so "on brand" for you and what you do. I say adopt it and give her a forever home. A match made in heaven's garage.

@ViceGripGarage I think “The Black Pearl” from Pirates of the Caribbean fits very well. Great video, love the truck. Keep up the awesome content!

I think one of my favorite parts of watching VGG is how much you involve your kids no one does that anymore don't know anything ...hell teens that drive don't even know how to put gas in there cars anymore my kids work on everything with me i try and teach them odds and ends so derrek I really respect that you do what u do....

The Bieri family truly is a gift to us internet fellers. I constantly look forward to every video posted, thank you for all of your effort!

Oh I feel terrible for laughing so hard when Derek told Bentley to “ lift with your back “. Those boys will learn more life skills in that pole barn than they will ever need in this world. Great parenting from mom and dad.👍👍🇨🇦

Definitely keep the old rocket launcher around they are very handy in your line of work.

Little helpers are the best! Smaller hands and they typically enjoy the work.

He never seems 2 worry when things go wrong, stays calm, works it out, fixes it, and off he goes again. "Well I'll be dipped"

So glad to see a dad spending real good time with his little human :) As he gets older, times like this will mean everything to him!

That's a long ride to sit bench-middle, kid is a Champ 🏆

Derek is the single handed reason why we can't find barn finds at a good value. They're all in his yard 🤣

Father and son working together on a project is 1000% priceless!!! Congratulations on your TV show, I never miss an episode!!

You inspire me to be a better father, dude you're awesome. It's genuine, ya can tell it's not an act for views. Y'all are raising some great kiddos. Thank you for the content and sharing your life with us.

" I don't think this was ever smoked in." The cigarette burn on the captain's side of the seat tells a different story. LOL

Hey Derek I would keep the rig, and I love the way you include your family in everything and it's great to see little man learning his way around the rigs, your are a great dad and family man.

I vote for keeping it. Fix all the rust and then leave it as it is. It's a very nice, useful, and reliable workhorse! Excellent video as always.

I know this is repeating what you have heard so many times, but your parenting and your total approach to life is freakin awesome. It has been a pleasure to watch you grow at what you do and I hope and pray that you reach as many households as possible. The overall message is what America needs right now.

You and Jessica have done such a great job with those kids. Love you all. That fact that you do things like this together is so rare in todays day and time.

Great to see young Bentley on the job with you a lot. Teaching the next generation how it's done. Maybe he'll take over VGG one day. 🙂

Keep it! Let your friend make a leather roof on top of that rust and stripe it with Vice grip garage. Cool rims and just ride in it. Your whole family fits so that’s just perfect 👍.

Derek, I'm sure I'm not the only one that is saying this, & I remember you mentioning the times you worked with your Dad, but I gotta say it anyway. I'm 65 years old, & my memories of when I worked with my Dad have never left me, so it does my heart good to see Bentley working w/you, & I know he'll have the same fond memories as well! Also, I want to join the chorus of your fans that THANK YOU for your obvious patriotism & love of our country! So glad y'all made it to your destination & very glad you found such a dependable vehicle; I gotta say that at the beginning of the video I had some concerns. As far as what to do w/it, I vote that you keep it in case there's a major issue like you had that 1 time you had to buy the junkier one; that way if you had the need for it, at least Jessica would have something reliable to come & help you tow it home (?). Have fun & good luck if you're racing!

Definitely keep it around and and make it match the crew cab for sure. It’s a great addition to the VGG fleet.

Def do overdrive if you can. Makes a massive difference

I like Bentley! He's a smart handsome little man. He's not afraid to get into it. He's going to be a great mechanic someday!

I'd definitely keep around, and honestly keep her the way she is until something catastrophic happens. Love seeing you and the whole family take her on the maiden voyage!

But Derek, those brake lights up on the boxes are extra safety! Bringing the light higher up so the semiiiii guys can see you and your family stop. Please be safe :)

12valve Cummins...the trucks a classic and fits your style!.

Parenting done right Derek. This young man will have such a head start than most kids. Kudos to you and the misses. Love the channel.

That's a great truck. I would love to see a full restore and restomod on VGG, just to see how it turns out. Love the Duramax idea . That truck is super practical for what you do! Anyway, great video as always!

Nice to see you having your boy in the videos. I was born into a tree service and even though me and my dad don't get along that well I'm eternally grateful to have been taught a skill and a good work ethic at an early age. I enjoy your videos ty for making them and i look forward to seeing more.

I've always loved how he includes his family in everything. you can tell what really matters to him, you the man Derek🤘

Like an old guy used to say "If it aint broke, don't fix it". That truck works like a charm... just keep on truckin'. Beautiful family, making memories and sharing with us. You guys rock! And I feel so blessed to have you in my life. Hope one day to go over there and shake a guys hand.

I love to see you work with your family 👪 ❤️

Keep it as is. It has Character Derek. Your character. Love your videos and family. You are a lucky man. God bless you.

Derek, you are such a good dad. Makes me miss my kiddos being so young. My son is in the Navy and my daughter is 16 and a cancer patient so she helps when she can. But seeing you so involved with your kids brings a smile to my ole facespace. Keep up the good work and we send love to you guys from Alabama.

Actually Derek, I know those high tail lights look kind of different, but they allow cars beside you to see you signal a turn or hit the brakes. They also give the high lights to let cars behind you know its a big truck. The Ramp Truck looks really good! I would polish those wheels when you get back. They will be shiny but not too shiny! With older rigs like this, It's not just another family trip... It's an Adventure! Boiled Peanuts are great! You need to try them. It's a southern thing, I would definitely keep her! I would not change the drivetrain until this one fails. I'm kind of lazy like that though.

your boy has more mechanical knowledge than most grown men...respect...

Gotta love Bentley! Not using his thumbs on an iPad. Helping dad in the garage making memories for a lifetime!

Thanks for still bringing us the RU-vid content and now the tv show as well, you and your family rock! 👊🏽

Maybe a decent idea to leave those high mount lights. Could be useful in bad weather if towing something

Hey Derek, this episode just watching a man and is son together. I have a 5 year old son of my own and always wants to help. He is slightly autistic but very smart.

This is one of The Best Vice Grip Episodes...ever!!! That Ramp Truck is a KEEPER!!!

The way you travel with your cars, it looks like a perfect truck for you to doll up and keep. Great vid!

Ahh dude, it actually hurts to see how better of a Dad you are compared to mine. Well done Sir.

Man I gotta say you are an amazing dad. Wish I had someone like you in my life when I was your kids age. You are an inspiration for someone to be like when I can eventually have kids of my own. Also daaaang your fuel is cheap!! We're paying double that up north here!

This episode really spoke to me. Just watching a guy and his son do stuff together. I have a 5 year of my own that always wants to help. I actually made me a

Yes this truck needs to stay in the family!! I feel that you can really turn that rig around into something special as you have with so many others !

If there is a better channel on RU-vid, I haven't found it. Loving your work, Derek.

Dude,sir... I could only wish to be HALF the Dad... "you appear to be"... keep it up! Love ya!

that big block sounded good , good to see a father teaching his son useful information.

What a sweet rig Derek. I would keep her around. Comes in pretty handy. Love how the whole family is involved and how great you and Jessica are as parents. You guys are doing it right.

Immediately when he soldered and heat shrunk the connection and said 'hope to never have to touch that connection again' I knew he jinxed himself 🤣

You’re very fortunate that you have an excellent apprentice to share your work with. I’ve always found that any work was much more fulfilling when I can share something I enjoy with someone I really like spending time with. young dude is very astute and genuinely enthusiastic and engaged. It’s fun watching you guys go through a truck.

21:56 One thing is for sure, a guy has pretty good taste in music. And an awesome shop helper.

I would love to see that rig stay with you guys, i'm sure it will not be collecting dust with all the events you guys go to.

I think it'd be cool to see a 6.6 Duramax in this thing, but you can't go wrong with a Cummins either. Or just freshen up that biggie block and put some more gooder gears behind it. All are good options for a guy's decent-ish rig. Can't wait to see what you do with it either way.

I love how excited Bentley is to help you out man, if I ever end up having a kiddo I hope they're as about cars as he is 🤘🏻. Keep living the dream brother.

Your having a great impact on your son. I enjoy watching him help you. Me and my son watch you tohether so it's a great connections when my boy sees your boy wanna help.

Definitely keep this one around! An overdrive swap would be nice. Maybe check out Finnegan's ramp truck views to help make a decision on what to do with it. Otherwise I think clean it up and have it for race car stuff!

Your a awesome dad, you can tell your kids really look up to you. You should also keep the ramp truck around

I'm very impressed with your little man helper you're going to blink and he will be the one racing buying new rides keep on keepin on you have my respect respect

Really like you teaching Bentley the ropes. I can just feel his excitement learning.

You obviously are very dedicated to your kids. They're learning a lot from you. Keep the ramp truck and doll it up. The boys will love it later.

I'm 28 minutes in and have to comment that this rig is really nice. I'd like to see it brought all the way up to sparkling...It deserves it and so do you Derek.

"Don't modify your wheels fellers, it's not safe!" *Proceeds to take a grinder to the wheel* Never change Derek, that humor is why we all love you!

I so enjoy how you include your family, so wholesome. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

The new shop is so nice and bright Derek. Keep the truck, it’s a real gem!

Your such a great Dad Derek God bless you!!!!!

Derek, your family will cherish memories like these. I turned wrenches and built things with my dad, then Lupus took his strength around 40... hes just passed away 2 years ago at 60, im 30s myself.... He would've loved your channel. Thanks.

Bentley needs to be in more videos! Your relationship with him is precious P.S. that mullet is powerful

Vice grip is the father we all wish we had

What a terrific road trip with the whole family in a 42 year old wedge truck.

I just love when the boys are involved 😊

KEEP THAT TRUCK!!!!It was sooo good to see all your family together in this venture.I hope that you do well in Bradenton.I forgot when it was and was planning on going just to get to meet you and family.I'm only about two and a half hours north of there in Florida.

24:20 "it hasn't come to me, yet." A philosophical statement. One of humility. Most people, today, think they are self made, and believe that they are the source of ideas. We don't where thoughts come from. We don't understand thought. To humbly wait, instead of forcing reality, is to embrace reality. This guy has a lot of peace.

A gentleman and a scholar thanks Derek and family for all that you do for us viewers at home

Derek, 471 Detroit 2 stroke that puppy!!! That's old school GM diesel.

Defiantly worth keeping as a haul and rescue rig. For when your drives home don't go to plan. Duramax would be way easier and cooler than a 6bt swap. You could even go a 6l80 if you really want all the gear options. Otherwise a overdrive and EFI conversion.

Nowadays, it seems all too rare to see families doing stuff together. Adventures like this-- even with mechanical hiccups-- are what make memories that last a lifetime! Thanks for taking us along with y'all (the longer you live in the South, the greater the chance that you'll start using this very handy word)! Looking forward to the Danger Ranger Racing... good luck!

Love to see a father/son team working on these projects! Brings me back to the memories....

You remind me of my Uncle Harold, a wheat farmer from Garrison that would buy old used equipment and rebuild it. Combines, tractors, anything. Her taught me to drive in a 1950 International pick'em up. Damn I miss him so much.

When you have dual wheels, you're actually carrying 2 spare tires

Bentley's mullet with the racing stripes is ON point.

Please keep it. The memories you and your family can have together in the rig is priceless

SWEET! Takes me back to when I used to hang around my dad's shop. I loved to help him revive old rigs, especially the 1964 Amphicar. That one was a true show stopper! Truly the best times I remember with my old man...

This man has tought me more then my dad ever did. Thank you for that.

So good to see Dad has a such a willing apprentice!
