Will This Retired 1969 Chevrolet C50 Truck RUN AND DRIVE? 

I absolutely love how Motortrend pulled Roadkill off youtube and tried to force people to pay for their terrible service, then you come along and scoop up 50% of their viewers by providing similar content for free. Hat's off to you, Derek!

One thing I didn’t know about Derek was that he is a really good driver when I saw the race at The Freedom Factory. If he didn’t get wiped out, he could have outdriven many professional drivers. This guy is so unassuming, pretends to be a lot less than he is, but he’s incredibly intelligent.

Now this is an episode like no other. Pulling at a fella's heart spark-alater strings. Bring the Thunder in memory of Grandpa. Well done!

The ending brought a tear to my eye, im sure your grandpa was so proud of the man you turned into and the success you found. I use to take for granted all the things my grandpa done for me, i miss them both so much. What i would do for one more talk with my grandpas and uncle.

Awesome. R.I.P. Grandpa Bieri, I hope you're proud of your grandson, because a lot of us are.

It was just saving that eighth cylinder for a special occasion. That closing scene with it moseying through the tall glass was Oscar worthy.

I'm a Texan and an old Ford guy, but there's something just right about an old Chevy truck on a farm still willing to work. Anyone who doesn't think old vehicles have souls just hasn't driven one. That's what you're doing here, Derek: resurrections. Saving a soul for another day. Makes me feel good. Thank you.

Memories! In 1979 at the age of 16, I took my first driving test at the DMV in my dad’s 1970 Chevy C50 grain truck. She looked just like that one, inside and out, except she had a 292 six-banger and a 1-barrel carb. Same 4-speed trans & 2 speed axle (when empty, you could start in 2-high). 50 mph was about the top end. She hauled hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain, not to mention gravel, dirt and scrap iron. I even drove it to school a few times. Dad farmed with that truck until he retired in 2005. I miss that truck.

A guy got a little lump in his throat when he heard, "Last load of hay...". RIP , Mr. Bieri.

I'm a licensed mechanic and I think I've learned more from watching three hundred and.... seventy-nine of these videos than I did in my 4 years of school.

I'm more of a military history buff. The way VGG explains what he's doing and his clear love of history, family, and America just make a fella addicted. Hands down the best channel on RU-vid.

As soon as you three fellers started diving, it was like seeing three young boys having a field day all over again, and that is a rare occurring feeling. Thank you Derek for giving it a fitting retirement.

“We had a team meeting and realigned on what ‘ease’ means” Hahahahaha

His brother talks. It's a miracle!!!!

First I see Derek do his thang, like he always do. This always make me smile. Towards the end I see three kids goof around in grandpa’s ol truck. This made me chuckle. Then the end just makes a turn you never saw coming, to a whole new level and I just teared up! You’re a special guy there Derek! Keep up the good work keeping it real

I have zero doubt that gramps is looking down and smiling. Watching you teach your boys is amazing and the way they already know their way around the tools and rigs is a huge testament to the teachers.

A feller got something in his eyes right at the end there. A grandpa is something special. I loved the tribute at the ending.

I mean this in the best way possible this was a family home video that we all were lucky enough to watch....

Thanks Derek. This one brought tears to my eyes, as I remembered my Grandpa, sitting on his lap and steering his old Allis-Chalmers with my little 5-year old hands while he worked the pedals. That was almost 50 years ago. He passed away 2 years later, and this video brought a lot of great memories back. I love seeing you and your family do things like this. Please keep posting content just like this, it’s good to remember those who have gone before us, and helped shape and make who we are.

Thank you for keeping America fueled. God bless all the farmers of America.

Dang it if a guy did not tear up at the end. We love our grandpas!!!

Grandpa Alan definitely smiled again seeing his three boys pile in his old truck one more time. What a beautiful farm. It was a very nice tribute to your grandpa Derek. Thank you for sharing with us.

We attended SEMA in 2017 and saw a 1972 Chevy C50 Turbo Diesel, Highlander called "The Duke". An Amazing Resto Mod with a Custom Extended Cab and Dump Bed! Painted in a Beautiful Chevy 2 tone White and Yellowish? I never knew what Model they used to do that build?? Until seeing the Video on your Grandpas' C50! Thanks so Much!!

What a beautiful place your family has. Looks like gold toned paradise. My Grampa passed away when I was 11 years old... in 1996 actually.... and it nearly destroyed my Dad. First time I had ever seen him cry. Gramps knew a lot, fixed a lot, and laughed a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with him, fixing old junk together. Listening to his stories. Guzzling coffee. He was a Chevy truck guy too, so that's approved. I really miss him. This video is a great family video and fitting tribute to your Grampa and that beautiful parcel of land. Thanks for giving us a look and getting that old rig going again.

You hit a fella in the feels with that ending. Rest in peace to your grandpa.

Derek: "...theres brakes!" Chris: "thats new." Made a feller spit his morning hot snack

I smiled throughout, laughed like hell when you fixed the tire with fix-a-flat, and was a bit sad at the end. If you're not a celebrity or billionaire, all that's left after you pass is the memories your family and friends have. Grandpa is well remembered, and loved. I can tell.

Loved the eulogy for your grandpop at the end Derek. NOW...... You just HAVE to get the old Ford grain truck living again in his memory 👍👍 Great video as always.

It's kind of a shame to see the ole girl dumped back in the weeds after seeing it run so well. Maybe you could put some bench seats on the back and use it to haul all of the kids around the farm during family reunions and get-togethers. RIP Grandpa Bieri

A guy's wife might've been cutting the onions there at the end of that tribute. Well done Mr. Bieri

Ain't nothing like remembering your grandpa or your dad I never meant neither one of my grandpa's but I miss my dad so much

Damm this sure made me smile I love how this old girl went back to work and good old memories

Miss my Grandpa. He was the first pilot to complete 25 bombing raids in one bomber during world war 2. He was such a humble man. Charles Cliburn

Man that last shot of the truck driving through the field at sunset was pretty as a picture

I learned to drive on the exact same type of truck. It was my Grandfather's and he had it special built from Chevy with the biggest engine offered and a special 16 speed transmission. He was a stonemason and used it to haul stone piled way over the top of the truck.

This hits a fella in the feelalator. I know I'm late to the party and I just found this. I learned to drive a manual in Ford F500 dump truck with a dual speed axle that belonged to my grandpa. A fella understands how a fella feels sometimes. I'd love to haul one more load of gravel for the old man.

Grandpa Bieri's character shines through his grandsons, hardworking, clever, no nonsense, happy and proud, a testament to him and his values, no doubt about that 👌

The production value has really gone up; it's like a Discovery Channel show, but with actual good content

My Granddad taught me everything I needed to know about animals, land, people and making what you have work until there is nothing left of it. We had cattle, horses, hogs, chickens and guinieas - and a stubborn Massey-Harris tractor. Had to start it with a crank. I miss him every day. You did well, Grandpa Bieri!

Hi Derek! Loved the video on the old Chevy C50 family farm truck, would really love to see you do something with Grandpa’s green Ford parked in front of it!!! You truly inspire all who watch!!!

349.000 people have watched this in 24 hours...that is amazing. Derek you made a lot of people smile today. Well done.

Best tribute to your Grandpa. Far too many kids nowadays don't know what they are missing from Grandpa teaching. RIP Mr Bieri

I just discovered your channel. Been watching these videos off and on all day. Growing up around farmland, farmers, truckers and railroad men, I enjoy these old trucks and the memories behind such vehicles. When we are young, the thoughts of our grandparents and parents being gone are far from our minds, but when we age and as time passes along with them, we start to understand how much we yearn for the presence, and how much joy and comfort they brought to our lives. Those thoughts are amplified for me now, especially with what has happened to us as a country. God bless your family and you as well, thank for your humor, and I hope that you guys have many more years out there working that land and having fun!!

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Fun to have family shenanigans in loving memory. Since you recorded it, the memory will live forever!

Nice tribute to your Grandpa. They were a generation of hard working, God and country men.....something we need to pass to our youngns

Family. Love it. Set up a family picnic day every summer and get her running...take rides, laugh, tell stories, and remember your Grandpa and the others who made it all happen. Grandpa and Dad fixed those brakes for you, pretty sure of that. The tribute to your Grandfather was simply perfect.

You had a great childhood too! That must be why your so cool. You worked for everything you have and I believe you are a fella who values tradition.👍

My late Uncle Melvin(Mac) owned around a 1,000 acre farm in Illinois that raised pigs, and grew corn and soy beans. He passed away at 90 in 2009 and my Aunt passed in 2021 at age 97. She was a NYC girl and they said she would never last when they were married in 1944 on her 20th birthday. Well they were married for 65 years and I used to love going out to the farm as a kid up to an adult. A different life from what I was used to but drinking Well water and the smell of the hay in the barn and the pigs is something you don't forget! Watching this reminds me of Uncle Mac's farm, RIP to him and Aunt El my late Dad's older Sister. The first time my Dad went out there was as a 13 year old in the summer of 1946. My Grandparents felt Dad needed a summer of hard work and having his older Sister keep an eye on him as he was getting into trouble in NYC. In 1946 they still had an outhouse and my first remembrance was my second time out in 1966 at age 4. By then they had indoor plumbing but still had the Well that you pumped for water if desired! He had a pond and my Dad showed me how to fish. My Cousins own the farm today but don't live on it with hired people running the farm. They are nearby in the town and were professional people now retired. Farm life is so real and tangible! I loved going out there!

The smartest cowboy rides in the middle because he doesn't have to drive or get out to open & close the gate.

It's nice to hear you genuinely laughing with your brother

Thanks for the memories Derek. I miss my grandpa all the time. He taught me a lot about farm life and life in general. One homily he said was; "You don't need the most expensive tool, but never buy the cheapest." I relate it to many things. He was a sharp guy.

found your channel while researching after I inherited my grandpa's '87 squarebody. you've been a real help for a guy with little to no experience working on cars trying to keep a family legacy up.

6 words....big engine, freedom factory, independence flatbed.

R.I.P. Grandpa Alan Bieri. You did good in raising up a hearty family and caretaking the good earth and people you loved.

This was a great video. Watching family get together and remember the good ol days brought back my own memories. Thanks for doing what you do.

I just watched this one and it reminded me of my grandpa and my dad. We had a couple of old trucks like this. My brother still has them. I drove them and we had so many memories in them. Hard working folks like our grandparents....thanks for making this video Derek! I loved it!!

30 years from now you'll be able to say "she ran when we parked her" and she'll start right up! Really fun video, you guys crack me up, thank you.

She doesn’t want to retire. Keep her workin!

I enjoyed seeing the smile on all of your faces. I laughed with you guys. Thank You for bringing us on your ride! May your grandfather Rest In Peace.

Awesome video this hit me pretty hard, I miss my grandpa so much! Thank you Derek!

Your grandpas grain truck is AWESOME! Get your brother's together to revive that one.

I can imagine the 3 of you grinning from ear to ear in the cab of that thing 30 years ago as well. Your grandpa would be proud.

My grandpa had one just like it we hauled firewood on brings back good memories thanks

this video was so full of content that could never be duplicated. The comradery of three brothers coming together and having some fun, was so great. I could see you laughing too. And that ending was done so well. You took me from tears of laughter, to emotional tears in 10 seconds. Can’t wait till you all do this again next year.

No other feller had a bigger influence on me than my Grandpa Ray. Been gone to long ... RIP to all those Grandpa's

The ending just makes a guy tear up.

You always hit me in the feels man! I love the content, I bet your grandpas proud of you

Great video lots of respect for grandpa. If we are lucky we will be there someday too.

Worth it. It would be an honor for most of us to watch you restore it in honor of your Grandpa.

What a great family, nice to hear your brother talk a bit on this video to. RIP to your Grandpa Derek, farming families are the backbone of every country on the planet.

This was awesome. I hope we keep seeing videos with you and your family like this.

I love the positive energy and laughter as you three rode this ole truck around.

Listening to Paul Harvey during lunch time I remember the "God made a farmer" episode sitting with grandpa everyday at lunch waiting for the rest of the story.

That ending really hit a guy. Im glad you share family stories. They make all of us feel like weve known you all our lives.

Great to see family working together. That keeps the world running. Thanks!

Man at the end when you were going to park it and you were driving it through the field as the sun was setting I swear I heard eagles screeching and “like a rock” playing it was like the perfect Chevy truck commercial.

Those last 30 seconds Derek Priceless Man thank you for those “ feels”

I love the giggles we got out of Derek in this episode. We don’t normally get to hear him laugh at his jokes. Great vidya brother.

Absolutely loved this episode in memory of your Grandfather, definitely a wonderful farewell to him and the truck that brought memories to you and your family! RIP

I love watching your channel and see the way you and your brother interact. Love him and make memories in your older age while you can. I lost my brother 2 years back and you guys remind me of some of the absolute fun and stupid things we could think of doing.

The tribute to your grandpa brought a tear to this fellers eye...

Love the old Ford by the grain bins too!

Old memories never die you done a good thing for what you did you and your family I'm proud of you and your family you have a great day

My uncle Ivereth had this same truck. In the 60's it was a really big truck on the farm. Virtually nobody had 18 wheelers on a farm unless they hauled for a living. I drove the C-50 during harvest. Which really means I got sent to town to wait in line at the grain elevator to unload. I was rented out and didn't get paid but, Aunt Blenda was a master chef like most of all the local farm wifes. Her bread was to die for and she baked fresh bread every day. Uncle also had a 55 stepside Chebby pickum up with a wood floor bed and a drivers door that would fly open when you turned right. OMG it was so fun and dangerous to work with family.

One of the coolest family tribute projects. R.I.P. Grandpa

“Now that we have brakes, we can do anything!” Best quote of the video... lol

I grew up around car folks and old school garages. Your adventures bring back some good memories.

This video has so much content. Your straight faced humor is so spot on funny. Never cracking a smile. Seeing you and your brothers having so much fun together. We Finally caught you smiling. Those pictures at the end, oh my. You-all took me from deep down belly laughing in tears, to emotional tears within 10 seconds. Those pictures. Your best video to date, and I can’t wait till next year when you all do it again. In the mean time, I will continue to enjoy every vif

The end was the best. YOU NEVER FORGOT WHERE YOU CAME FROM

A touching tribute there at the end. I wish grandpas never died.

I jus saw this for the first time today and this was definitely a good one. Made me think of working on old trucks with my late grandpa and late father in law. Good times for sure. Thanks for sharing your memories

That was heart melting to have seen that old buddy working again. Cars have souls! Thanks for your videos, dude)))

The family vehicles are the ones that mean the most. I know...I've got one myself. RIP Grandpa Bieri. Your truck is in good hands.

THAT truck needs to come ALL THE WAY BACK. All the way to paint and dent repair. Do it. DO IT! Love ya, guys! -Vic

Mr Vice Grip i have been watching your you tube and its helped me so much . 2 years ago since 1/18 /20 i was hit bye a car while snowblowing my own driveway . the result was a broken back and left leg . i love what ya do and its helped me to over come my lack of ability to do pretty much any wrenching and woodwork or labor which i enjoy . anyway thank you for all your doing . God bless you and your family . Keep fighting the good fight . Sincerely Tim Beattie .

Everything about this is just bang on . Thank you guys so much for sharing some precious history . Beautiful

At first I was expecting a 'typical' VGG rescue, but it became obvious early on that this was something special. Glad you could honor Grampa like that; maybe the annual run is a good place to start to bring her back. Thanks for bringing us along.

I gotta say, this video has a guy's eyes leaking a bit. I had a constant smile on my face especially during the drive with all 3 of you in the truck. Just the pure joy we could all see. It was amazing. R.I.P. Alan. You were definitely there for them to get those brakes working. We all know how it usually goes.

First time watching this and you put the onions to me. I miss my Dad. Your grandpa and my father can't be replaced. They don't make them like that anymore.

Man this was amazing. That truck 100% needs to get the love and attention it deserves. So many memories withy it and it NEEDS to be preserved imo. Reminds me so much of the times my uncle took me driving in his little Chevy truck down backroads and he'd shove me in the drivers seat and say "go at it". Always had a blast!
