Will This Retired 1969 Chevrolet C50 Truck RUN AND DRIVE?

- We want to put this resting giant back to work! My Grandpa used this truck for many years for essentially everything around the farm/ranch. After he retired, it just sat, and eventually ended up on the farms "junk yard". If it does run, we want to haul some hay with it, just like the good ol' days.

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!
Better content
@@centsign2449 Came here to say this as well. Definitely more relatable than Roadkill in later years. Derek’s content is the kind of stuff that a common man would do. I don’t see most of us welding the front end of a Cadillac Eldorado to the back of a Ford Econoline or some of the other crazy stuff they do. Dragging junk out of fence row after 20-30 years and making it run again is probably my favorite thing to do.
Agreed. Motortrend's biggest mistake was to put Roadkill behind a paywall. But a guy doesn't mind after watching Derek for some time now.
Even Finnegan's personal channel is better roadkill than roadkill imo. I've never been a fan of Freiburger though so that might be why I feel that way.
I have to admit, i'd completely forgotten that motortrend even existed - tbf i got a bit bored of roadkill before they went off youtube. Roadkill is as close to bullshit TV program as a youtube show ever got.
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.
Practical knowledge isn't taught in a classroom. Every college tuition should come with the warning when graduated, you will know 25% of what u need to know.
No doubt about it.
That suggests either a poor school, or poor study habits!
@@stevepartridge75 Even 25% is pushing it honestly. I learned maybe 15% of the job in school and I went to one of the best schools for my trade ( Car bodywork and painting ) in my area... So much stuff to learn, it's impossible to cram all this in however many years of school.
@@stevepartridge75 school isn't necesarilly to teach you everything you need to know, it's mainly to protect the specific job market. Without diplomas/certificates you won't get hired, even if you are self tought with 20+ years of practical hands-on experience.
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!
And keeping it simple to!! Great channel and honest man
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 TH-cam.
Awesome. R.I.P. Grandpa Bieri, I hope you're proud of your grandson, because a lot of us are.
Well said.
I'll second that....🙂👍
I'll third it for a feller
Derek is one cool cat, i can garantee his grandpa is very proud of the man he is today, as a father of 3 boys i know id be extremley proud of any of my boys if they become half the man derek is
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.
driver mod baby! id want derek on my team for racing anyday
That's why his channel is so great. He downplays his smarts to make it funny and interesting but we all know he's a natural at racing, fixing and restoring cars. A guy wishes he had half of Derek's talent.
A brilliant sense of humor is an indicator of a brilliant mind. Not all smart people are funny, but all funny people are smart.
Dang diesel brothers
I think he led like 10+ laps by my count. Regardless, he put those other drivers ON NOTICE. Too bad the announcers barely even mentioned him as they were all focused on the "famous people". Next time I'll bet you anything Derek will be right up there with a top 3 finish and they will be FORCED to give him the credit he deserves, although, Derek being as humble as he is, surely doesn't care about that. One thing is for sure, I know he had a blast for those first few laps. He'll get em next time!
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.
Crazy ..dont see that at DMV often!
Do you still have that truck?
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.
My grandfather taught me everything I know. Miss him a bunch
Growing up in the city, I appreciated time visiting my grandparents on the farm. I wanted to help clean and feed the pigs. I wanted to learn and work. From catching gophers to smoking out skunks in a culvert (maybe that's why Grandma complained) to hauling grain I feel blessed for the opportunity and experience. (As it turns out about 130 miles north of the Bieri's)
“We had a team meeting and realigned on what ‘ease’ means” Hahahahaha
Am a gonna floor it! Should I floor it? Am a gonna floor it!
I mean this in the best way possible this was a family home video that we all were lucky enough to watch....
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.
Start teaching em early like my pops did to me
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.
A guy got a little lump in his throat when he heard, "Last load of hay...". RIP , Mr. Bieri.
You hit a fella in the feels with that ending. Rest in peace to your grandpa.
Ditto!
All we can do is remember them bro
A guy agrees
Made a fellas rainmaker kick on for a bit
It got me too.. Salt of the earth,, should never be forgotten...wonderful tribute here..
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.
I'm from Laporte, IN where Allis-Chalmers was once the biggest employer in town. The Chalmers plant shut down in 1980 and it was a major hit for the town.
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.
It was just saving that eighth cylinder for a special occasion. That closing scene with it moseying through the tall glass was Oscar worthy.
We just ordered 2 independent chevelle shirts. You should make a " I'll be dipped " shirt . Love the channel.
I think a shot of the old girl in the meadow belongs on a shirt too....
His brother talks. It's a miracle!!!!
It's a Christmas Miracle , oh yeah sorry it's actually nice outside now ! I'll be dipped , man it's really nice out !
(I think it's dubbed in with software and such)
Yeah they used a voice actor in post prod.
My thought exactly
I talked to him at the Indianapolis show, he's a funny guy.
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!!
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.
A feller got something in his eyes right at the end there. A grandpa is something special. I loved the tribute at the ending.
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.
Tough area to farm in the last years
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!!!
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.
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 👌
349.000 people have watched this in 24 hours...that is amazing. Derek you made a lot of people smile today. Well done.
smile and cry :P
1.2 million to date
1.65 now 😁
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.
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.
Dang it if a guy did not tear up at the end. We love our grandpas!!!
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
A guy's wife might've been cutting the onions there at the end of that tribute. Well done Mr. Bieri
Man that last shot of the truck driving through the field at sunset was pretty as a picture
Thank you for keeping America fueled. God bless all the farmers of America.
Best tribute to your Grandpa. Far too many kids nowadays don't know what they are missing from Grandpa teaching. RIP Mr Bieri
I never knew my grandfathers and I realize I missed so much.
@@craigjorgensen4637 I got my love of anything that moves under it's own power from my Grandpa. I have tried to pass on the love to my kids & grandkids.
Well said Ken!!
So true a friend of mine will have the millions of dollars left by grandpa but will not have any of the life lessons, hes an entitled asshole
Derek: "...theres brakes!"
Chris: "thats new."
Made a feller spit his morning hot snack
Chris speaks... that's new!
🤣
I reckon their dry humor runs in the family.
Lol “now that we have brakes we can do anything.”
@@jeffwormsley7425 new and the guy kinda loved it to...
Thank you for bringing us along Derek! Returning to a family farm to relive the memories and honor the past is an opportunity few people have. For those of us who can't go back, we can at least remember our elders, and teach our kids how things used to be.
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.
And a guy’s grandchild will be heard saying, “Bring the thunder!” as it’s fired up.
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.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Fun to have family shenanigans in loving memory. Since you recorded it, the memory will live forever!
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.
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.
Worth it. It would be an honor for most of us to watch you restore it in honor of your Grandpa.
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
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.👍
The production value has really gone up; it's like a Discovery Channel show, but with actual good content
Yeah and 38 min of content in 38 min. instead of 30 min of content in an hour show on the Discovery channel!
Well, more like 15 minutes of actual content and a bunch of recaps to remind you what happened before the commercial break. A feller might forget what show he's watching without 'em.
@@CharlesP2009 The worst one was street outlaws cash days. It was unwatchable. A race every 17 minutes, preceded by 12 commercials. I timed it. 17 after the hour, first race. 34 after, second race, etc.
R.I.P. Grandpa Alan Bieri. You did good in raising up a hearty family and caretaking the good earth and people you loved.
People tend to overlook things like this video. When I see this, I don't see just a guy fixing a truck, I see a family enjoying together, a bond thicker than just blood. When I see this kind of content, my heart fills with joy because I know this is what god intended for the world, and I really wish more people saw that.
Thanks for reminding me that there's good and hope in the world. And god bless you and your family.
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.
Nice tribute to your Grandpa. They were a generation of hard working, God and country men.....something we need to pass to our youngns
We have to get our country back before we can pass it on.
Its been taken over by corporations & oligarchs.
Crooks and thieves on both sides of the isle
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
Hay rides for the kids on Halloween!!
Rebuild brakes & transmission
Nah... that old ford in front of it at the end would be more interesting
@@hemidart7 I want to see that for sure. Grab a wobble pop and enjoy history
This truck would be ideal for haunted hayrides. It really gives a Final Destination vibe to the ride.
Damm this sure made me smile I love how this old girl went back to work and good old memories
This may be the first VGG vehicle I've seen that actually has brakes!
Your grandpas grain truck is AWESOME! Get your brother's together to revive that one.
I agree. That truck looks to be in good shape waiting for restoration.
👍🏻🇺🇸
^This! Make it a project between you grandsons, to restore this family heirloom. She deserves it.
She doesn’t want to retire. Keep her workin!
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!
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!
NOW THAT WAS THE MOST I HAVE HEARD YOUR BROTHER TALK... LMAOO
I was thinking the same thing it was good to see him come out of his shell
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.
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 .
You put a smile on grandpa's face getting the old (Hay Make it Happener) running again.
The tribute to your grandpa brought a tear to this fellers eye...
The smartest cowboy rides in the middle because he doesn't have to drive or get out to open & close the gate.
"That's cowboy logic"?
@@jayworkman2308 every cowboys got it
@Stinky McFrazzlepants oh god ik the feeling, we have a 3 seated land rover and since i'm the smallest i go in the middle
@@jayworkman2308 Wonder what Michael Martin Murphy is doing today.
@aljernon I don't know but didn't figure anyone else would know that song lol
Chris had a mile wide smile driving the old beast and operating the dump.
I kept my grandpas old truck going till the frame gave up. I miss him and that old truck. I enjoyed this alot.
You still truck 🚚
@@clairaduckson496 my grandpas old truck died a few years ago
@@takeashawnoutdoors5518 so sorry about your lost, hope you Move on and enjoy life to the full
No other feller had a bigger influence on me than my Grandpa Ray. Been gone to long ... RIP to all those Grandpa's
Amen to that, some tough men that kept us on the straight and narrow.
My grandfather had trucks similar to this on his farm and he influenced me a lot to , how many kids now can say the drove a combined or tracktor at 10 years old. Man to go back just one more time 😁😔😥😌
One of the coolest family tribute projects. R.I.P. Grandpa
Great episode that got me all choked up at the ending and I never even met the man but considering the good men that have come along the family line after him he must have been a helluva guy and someone I'd drink a cold snack with!!!!
The 3 family members hauling the hay, one last time makes me think of three 10 year olds, taking dad's truck out for a spin. It's hiilarious.
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.
Paul Harvey...what a voice, what a story teller. Good day.
Stop tryin' to make me cry. It won't work!
I would walk home from school everyday for lunch. My Mom would listen to Paul Harvey while we ate lunch, and I would walk back to school. Great memories.
Paullllll Harvey.... Good day!
Where can you listen to old Paul Harvey? I would love to hear some old “rest of the story”
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.
Wish more people were like this now days
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.
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
The ending just makes a guy tear up.
Wasn’t expecting the sprinklers to come on today but yet here we are!! 😢 RIP grandpa Beiri
Correct 😭
If it didn't make you tear up then you might be a soulless goof and a sonofabitch to boot. I ain't seen a thing made me feel that way in a hot minute. Thats Love.
Much respect and RIP, Grandpa.
If I had a soul I would but I’m a ginger
@@trafficcones1485 no your a traffic cone
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.
I'd love to see more of this rig, It'd be cool to see if the other grain haulers will run too😎
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.
6 words....big engine, freedom factory, independence flatbed.
I was just about to write the EXACT same thing!
Be sweet to see this old girl hauling independence around.
now that's a heck of an idea!
My grandpa had one just like it we hauled firewood on brings back good memories thanks
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!
Well I'll be dipped. A guy was just watching an old VGG episode on the ole chevelle with some cold snacks, and got the notification that a new episode got bleep blooped on the youtubes.
What a fun a loving tribute to your grandfather. You boys were having some fun. I bet he looked down on you all and smiled.
This is why you are the best channel on TH-cam.
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
Thanks for talking about you grampa, mine went beyond the veil in 1963, I was 9 yrs old. That was rough. His grain truck was an old cab over.
A guy can only imagine the shenanigans you boys as teenagers got up to in that truck
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.
I love how you couldn’t see anything driving but the guy in the middle seat had sunglasses and didn’t offer them to you 😎 while sun is blazing your eyes priceless
Nice to see your brother happy again with the feel, smell, and grind of you guy's history...
The only channel I don’t skip the adds so that the creator gets maximum funding.! 😎👍
Is that a thing?
I have to do that
@@brianspalding7693 yes if you skip through adds Derick looses money.! Great channel he deserves every penny.!
Yeah I'm 98.76% sure that nutscratch is right ! I don't know , but lately I've been trying to watch co mo chials as much as I can stand , just to support , this feller is worth it !
The end was the best.
YOU NEVER FORGOT WHERE YOU CAME FROM
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.
Great video! You’ve actually got a 1967 C50 there. One year only ignition bezel, vent windows, no side marker lights on fenders, Fender emblems are 67-68 only. The vin should read CE547 factory v8 or CS547 factory 6 cyl. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for 67-68 Chevy trucks with you!! Keep the awesome videos coming!!
The end was enough to bring a tear to my eyes. Thank you Derek for being 100% human. The love we have for our loved ones who we no longer have (mainly our parents and grandparents) is truly only understood by those of us who no longer have them. Just one of those moments for me. Thank you
Well said Greg
Ol boy came into his own with the cinematography on this episode. Looks really good with all of those swoopy shots
Great vid, that late afternoon sun hitting the glass and that old truck brought back the memories. 44 years ago I used to drive my dads beat up IH harvester grain truck in the hay field. Steer between the bales son. I’m smiling n my washer pump must have kicked, my face is a little wet. We lost the farm when I was 13, later driving my dads big rig trucks. Lots of great feelings there. I must say great video editing n photography there….
You haven't lived till you've power shifted a truck like that.! It gives you years of fond memories for your grandkids to hear
That ending hit a guy like a double shot of whiskey on a Tuesday night. Got me all in my feels
I've just found this channel nd watched about 10 episodes. This guy Derek has one of the most entertaining car shows I have ERER seen. How you don't have a TV show I don't know but I love to see you have a big audience because you deserve it!
Welcome to the club
Welcome
And how Vice Grips isn't sponsoring Derek amazes me. They don't know what they're missin'
He's doing just fine here ! This feller don't have boob tube any more ! Sick of T. V.
Derek, one of my favorite videos! I grew up on a farm just south of Fargo / Moorhead where you have family living and about 300 miles east of Stanley, ND. We have a few tractors, cars and one of our grain trucks left '60 Ford. My son and I will be working on our '70 Oldsmobile 98 LS this coming Summer because of you. If you're up in the area, your welcome to come turn a wrench and let your boys run with my 11 year old out on our farm of about 600 acres. So sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandpa. I read his obituary and it looks like he was quite the fella. Beautiful Catholic Mass on TH-cam of his funeral. May he rest peacefully enjoying his eternal rest in Heaven. RDE
