Yep, #ETCGDadsTruck starts up for the first time in this video. Also, some special guests stop by to witness the momentous occasion. No, they weren’t in town for that specifically, we were doing other stuff that week and they happened to show up just as I was wrapping things up as you’ll see in the video. Here’s a link to what we were doing.

EricTheCarGuy, Humble Mechanic, Engineering Explained, ChrisFix, and Matt Maran Motoring all in the same room together. It's like every car enthusiast's dream.
Drop Matt Maran and you got it
And they all try to act like they're not there when Scotty Kilmer tries knocking to get in lol.
Where's Scotty Kilmer??
@@michaelserrano7097 He's not there. It was a joke lol.
Jonnells24 can tell they like being there too. Checking out Eric’s shop. 😎
35:03 let's not forget that Brian The Camera Guy was also there!
I absolutely love this truck. New enough to not be a huge hassle, but old enough to be "simple". Such a timeless truck body.
OMG the difference 10 seconds can make in Erics life.
45:54 PURE JOY
46:04 PAAAANIIIIC (briefly)
THIS WAS LIKE WATCHING THE OSCARS!
I just discovered this channel, I watched the 383, and now I see the truck.
What blows me away is that my dad "who's name is also Eric, has 91c15. He bought it in 2002. Carved 502, big cam, holly. Was a mean truck. My dad was a engine builder and body man. He installed a east coast customs fiberglass ground effects, shaved lights and roll pan, a smooth fiberglass topper.
Fast forward to a few years ago. The truck was totaled, someone pulled out in front of me, the truck is repairable, however when this happend my dad was suffering from stage 3 cancer and other things, he was chemically poisoned painting semis in the early 90s where he worked.
So he has been gone. And like you said it " Will always be dad's truck" is true.
I hope to restore it to the street/strip truck he invisioned
ALL of my favorite automotive TH-cam personalities hosted at ETCG's garage for first start of Dad's Truck, and going to Indy 500. That is just awesome!
In my eyes Eric it was you who started all these great automotive channels on TH-cam. You were the first auto repair channel I ever watched on youtube, it was probably an honor for those guys to be there when you started your engine!
Pretty cool Eric! That’s a nice 383 stroker for sure! I’m an old retired mechanic from United States Air Force I have a condition whereby I cannot longer seem to get the information to my hands. I’ve got a nice 383 stroker coming from Washington state! Hot rod engines out there is sending me a 383 stroker for my 1963, Chevy C 10 pick up. I’m also putting a Tremec five speed overdrive transmission manual into the truck! The first engine was attempted to be delivered but it was not wrapped properly and damage was done to that 383. So I am waiting for another engine for my project truck. I’m an old retired mechanic from the Air Force I have a disability where I cannot get a lot of information to my hands these days. Eric your videos inspire me to keep turning wrenches and to stay dirty! I love the mechanical things that you show, You are an awesome mechanic and I thank you for the material that you post it keeps me going! Rocco and Eric! You’re one hell of a mechanic I follow a lot of the things that you do online and once again thank you Eric!
That look on your face when the coolant burped at 46:03 was hilarious!
Thought I saw steam like he blew a head gasket, my heart dropped for him for a moment.
So I'm laying on my bed just watching this video and through out the whole video I cannot stop smiling. What a time to be alive! Really look forward to the next video!
Same here.
Nice to see the whole gang in one spot! That truck is amazing and everyone can see the amount of love and pride you are putting on it. Keep the good work coming Eric!!
Thank you!
Yup. Painting your welds, especially on exhaust is the ticket for not getting it rusty as fast as it could and will without. I use a combo of etch high heat primer and high temp paint. I used to use a thicker stuff (was thinking that impacts are a common thing) but it's best to have thin, even, well laid and well gripped in coats.
No Kidding... all my youtube automotive faves in one place... Love the AC comp. and the accessories set up on that motor !! Very Cool Eric !!!!
I have a 1994 k1500-my dad's old truck given to me for graduation years ago. In the middle of restoration at the moment (couldn't bear to part with it). Love these trucks. So easy to work on!
GREAT JOB!!! YOU BASICALLY RE ENGINEERED THAT WHOLE TRUCK...A TRUE LABOR OF LOVE!!!
Who knew that ChrisFix had a beard? Congrats Eric. Wonderful to witness.
Hey, why is the U.S. Flag upside down on your profile picture? Are you under dire distress? I’m a 20 year retired Veteran and notice things like this.
According to Title 36 Section 176 of the U.S. flag code, the flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
46:03 is a classic "wtf was that?!" face, we've all been there! Haha.
I was so excited for it to start up. It sounds magnificent!!! Especially with the cutouts open!
Thanks!
27:34 i'm glad i'm not the only one that struggles to gauge a dipstick reading sometimes...
G'day Kevin from Australia.
Another great installment of dads truck. Thankyou. ✌
Woah with ChrisFix, Charles and Jason!
HOLY CROW SIR ERIC, WHEN YOU TURNED THOSE FANS ON IT SOUNDED LIKE A FREAKIN SHOP VAC. The best part of this whole vid ( FOR ME ) was when you put that piece of Rad. Hose in that your DAD had in there. The words that you said that HIT HOME HARD WAS " TO ME THIS WILL ALWAYS BE HIS TRUCK " . You see my wife passed a little over 3 years ago at the age of 49 & her 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee still sits in the garage, it has 182,000 miles on it with no rust, bought it brand new for her. Now I'm finally replacing a lot of stuff on the Jeep, mostly suspension parts, shocks, tires Rad, hoses ect. What I get from my family members, neighbors & the few friends that stuck by me is "WHY ARE YOU SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON THAT OLD JEEP ? LIKE YOU SAID ERIC, "IT WILL ALWAYS BE MY WIFE'S JEEP " I CAN'T SELL IT, I JUST CAN'T, THEY DON'T GET IT. I had to stop the vid. for a bit but I continued on Eric & I must say, YOU SIR ARE ONE HELL OF A MECHANIC FOR WHAT YOU TRANSFORMED THAT TRUCK INTO. YOU ALSO HAVE GREAT MORALS, RESPECT & LOVE FOR YOUR DAD, PLUS IT SOUNDS DAMN AWESOME SIR.
Thank you very much. I'm very sorry to hear about your wife. My condolences. Don't worry, I get it. Good luck with that Jeep.
A lot of work and LOVE in that truck. What a beautiful ride.
It's always really cool to see a new engine come to life good post thanks
A lot of car talent under one roof, great work guys!!!
From Tavarish's screaming Lambo V12 to Eric's rumbling Ford V8- it's been a good afternoon.
This episode was really cool, seeing so many different TH-cam channeller’s in the same place, especially when I’m already subscribed to all of them.
It's a beautiful thing man!
Life without issue, yeah buddy.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Wow! ETCG had an all star cast on hand to help start the truck
Pretty hard to beat the feeling of firing up the engine for the first time around your group of friends!
Remember, manufactures design for assembly line efficiency, not for repair efficiency. Anytime you run into a "what were they thinking putting this here", you just ran into an assembly line sequence wall. Turned out great.. It's a great truck.
Thanks Eric
Last time I heard “my hangers will make up the difference” we ran the car open header 😂
Thanks for this video. You deserve a long vacation, Eric. Excellent work, I enjoyed watching the whole process which culminated into the turning of the ignition switch. High fives to you!
Thank you!
This has turned out to be a magnificent build. So beautiful. You are a super talented mechanic.
High praise indeed. Thanks!
It's really nice to had people like Eric,EE,Humble Mechanic,Chris fix the camera guy together helping people to learn something thanks a lot Erick
Awesomeness Eric. Glad to hear Etcg dad's truck run. Fantastic work on this project as usual. Looking forward to the final vids of this series. Cheers Arthur.
absolutely love your videos, my dad passed away in July, he left me his 71 chevy C10 and like you said, to me it will always be his truck.
All of my favorite inspirations in one spot! Damn.
Great job Eric. That engine looks beautiful.
Fantastic brother, loved this series. Looking forward to seeing your father's reaction to all your hard work!
Americanist Salih Usta here doing off road vehicles here in Turkey, Istanbul Thank you Regards
Gracias Eric y a todos los que hicieron posible este exelente video
Thanks Eric and everyone who made this great video possible
Very good series, not hot rodding my 90 CK2500 but man did you save me a lot of potential headaches on the maintenance I have planned. (especially the interior disassembly) Thanks!
I feel for the Humble Mechanic. I used to work on VWs and Audis. It makes me appreciate how easy it it to repair and maintain Toyotas.
This moment was worth the wait. Sounds incredible!
Nice job, looks and sounds beautiful! Makes you realize just how much work is involved in a build
Gotta love Erics "Oh shit" moments followed by "naaa it'll be fine" lol
Lmfao @ charles messing with you in the background bad humble mechanic lol
Thx Charles, have a save trip back! ........🤣
Thanks for all the info mann I watch all your videos and careless of what everyone says you one of the realest out here keep it going 💯.
For once, I am up in the middle of the night to watch the new video. Good thing I have the day off!
Congrats very happy she fired up for you and ran so well
Thanks!
Thank you Eric always your videos from South Africa
Thanks Eric! Awesome stuff!
Nothing like a first start up with your buddies there.
Level of Epicness in this video is over 1000!!!
Keep up the excellent work!!!
Greetings from Greece!!
Thank you!
Fantastic. Great to see my other favourite guys appear in this episode, Charles and Engineering explained, plus the ubiquitous Chris Fix. Really enjoyed watching this and think you made a very nice job of this. Didn't the engine start up beautifully.
sharing this jorny building the truck and befor it the ford..making people learn..i learn a lot and i use this knowledge..thanx eric
Exhaust v bands make life easier during install and deassembly if needed
Funny, I watch all of your guests/friends channels. I get awsome information from all. Nice job!!! Love all you guys, Peace and stay wrenching.....
ERIC your doing it RIGHT!
I literally will probably never build something this nice and complex, but damn i enjoy just watching this shit get put together. Lots of good ideas, lots of need to improvise and adapt, and you finish with something amazing. Good shit man!
Great job,,,,this new old guy learned a lot...
I love seeing Charles in the ETCG Garage! My favorite car guys all in one place!
I think we can all agree that's a pretty cool group of friends!
Great Show Eric! And a great guests!
Love how you made the custom upper radiators hose
Great series, it's been spurring me on during my personal "dads truck" saga.. it's my father in laws truck, a 2007 Nissan Frontier (4.0, 6mt, 4x4) that was in desperate need of some TLC; calipers, pads, rotors, parking brake shoes, hard & soft brake lines, rear shocks, clutch master, slave & lines... lots of brake fluid & bleeding.. this weekend will be the end of it (for now). I'll be happy to finally stop working on it, and that he will get to use it again. The clutch was a last minute addition - after fixing all of the brake issue, the clutch hard lines decided to blow - they were fairly rotted, like every other hard line at/below frame level on the truck, so it was another parts order, and of course, more brake fluid.
Glad you're finally able to start driving it. Thanks for the comment. Stay dirty!
Great video, Eric and the boys
Thanks!
Another great job Eric!!!
Thank you!
Great job Eric!!! You've built a really awesome engine with super great exhaust .
Thank you!
What a great duo Hell yeah way to go
Awesome Eric, that exhaust sounded badass. You really are working your butt off. More power to you.
that exhaust is freaking awesome.
So I’ve been watching you’re videos and it’s making me want to build my 350 to a 383 in my 95! Hopefully goes well.
Awesome! Thanks for another great video.
The truck sounds beautiful. Fantastic work
Thank you!
That was AWSOME!
sounds great
You had about every wrench TH-camr aside from mightycarmods, heck of a cast you have in that shop. Can't wait to see all the following content.
you should run a pcv oil separator keep that engine clean on the inside. The trans has to have the engine on for the torque converter to pump the oil (Check, read, look at the dip sick it has instructions) it will get full if you are not running it check it with the engine on in neutral the distributor oil drive has to line up to where you are dropping in the distributor lol
May jesus bless you & your famly. good father, well up bring, good son
Nice job Eric. Its like a new truck. Be sure to get it appraised and insured for that amount.
How many youtubers does it take to get DT383 running? Dunno...but Eric knows how many he is gonna use :D
Man, sounds like a beast! Can't wait to see it making some tire smoke on the track!!!
Love that truck
Yes so cool , good to see , just got home my friday !! after work , made my work week look ,boring !!!!from Rarotonga !!
Ok now I know I'm way late on watching this video. But I love this unit .
46:02 The car has spoken for the first time...
You sir Mr eric are a bad azz... My good man.. Damn it.. Keep up the good work
Yeah the glasses thing. I didn't start needing them until my mid 40s. The worst part now about working on stuff is trying to get my head positioned correctly in order to see out of just the right part of the "trifocal" lenses. Ahh the past pleasures of youth, when I took for granted being able to see in any situation sans any glasses.
Man that Chevy 383 Stroker sounds beastly.
Awsome!! How did I get the impression that Eric was super annoyed of Humble mechanic..?😂
When Eric reacted to the coolant splashing the face at 46:05 man i know exactly how that feels i just busted out laughing
Awesome video waited quite some time to see this puppy turn over
51 minutes. GOLD
I want you to make a video of the exhaust bypass with the motor idling and revving from time to time. Make this like an hour long video of just the motor running, so I can play it as background music. That sounded awesome!
I like the way you think. ASDMR!
Your welding skills did improve a lot. Very nice!
Thanks!
Sounds good! Congrats!
