- I found a decent 1969 GMC K20 pickup that's been sitting on a farm for 16 years. It's a factory 4 speed truck, with a posi 3:73 rear end, so of course, I just had to have it. Watch me try to get this old beauty up and running and go test on it! I just may or may not get stuck...

Appreciate what your doing. Favorite car channel on youtube! That's a keeper!
Thank you Zackery, much appreciated!!
Zackery Taylor You're*
@@jumpinjojo Oh shut up :P
It's faactory!
I agree!!
Am I the only one that LOVES going back and rewatching these older videos?
Wouldn’t cha know? A guy was on an O O O O’reillys commercial in the middle of the video!? First commercial I’ve EVER watched on TH-cam in 15 years.
same bro, i thought it was pretty funny!
Same. Then watching this episode i saw puddin's fab shop was doing was that was too funny and pretty long
Can you show rebuild Toyota camry
@@adamantooth1987 what does a camary have to do with anything?
I thought I was the only one
Grandpa's chevy k10 1970 sat for 20 years, thanks to your channel got her running! All it needed was syphoning then derusting cab gas tank, blow out fuel lines with fresh fuel, fogging oil, sparks and junkyard battery. Purrs like a kitten on catnip.
I love this show. I started wrenching on cars at 12 with my Dad and after dropping out of school at 15, was always forced to buy $200. junkers that I had to turn into daily drivers with only pocket change from crappy $5.an hr jobs. It brings back memories and the sense of accomplishment from saving a derelict old car and making it into something others admired is unbeatable. Nowadays I'm older, professional and earn enough to buy any car I want but the show takes me back and allows my hands to stay clean.
Thanks Derek!
I felt this comment
I never owned a new car. But all my rides are worthy if not better.
Humor is on point. Really makes you stand out compared to other channels. Thnx for saving another old lady!
Thank you - doing my best !
He is a funny guy me and my wife laughed the whole video a guy could really like a video lol
What an old beauty hope you save her
Yeah, Swag. I posted last week that I was by myself in the office at the end of the day laughing like an idiot.
@@ViceGripGarage Just being Yourself is the Best part of You!!! Keep up the good work!🇺🇸😎👍
Has a good ol fashion Red Green show vibe to it, like it!
cdoublejj man that brings me back
I'm a man
And I can change
If I have to
I guess
Yes got the same feeling
Was gonna say the same. Figured I'd check to see if I was alone. Nope! 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing while watching this. He's like a slightly more mellow Red.
My Dad was exactly like you. He was a Cadillac mechanic for 40 years and he could get ANYTHING running. Your videos keep me laughing out loud. My little Doxie watches your videos with me (mostly because he loves my lap) and he just looks at me like I’m nuts when I start laughing my butt off when everything is “perfect” and you’re getting “dipped”………HILARIOUS!!!
These revivals out in the field are my absolute _favorite_ videos.
im glad zip ties and bias plies showed us this channel
Junkyard digs brought me here.
I agree. I would kill to see you two do some collab videos. You both are super funny but also very very talented. I watched this video about three times now for both entertainment and research purposes.
Minty 👌
Husqvarna Rider Minty. I wish he would make more videos
David Doering he just uploaded boi!!!!
Great content!! Anyone who has been trying to bring old junkers back from the dead can appreciate this channel!!
Re watching in 2024 so glad Derek made such a massive success.
Fun fact this is the first “that’s way too much… perfect” ever heard on the channel. Your welcome. 🙏🏻
This truck was made back when the nice options actually meant a more solid truck. Heavy diffs and heavy duty clutch. 2019= 6in toutch screen stereo sun roof.
Yeah, sadly trucks ain't trucks anymore.
Trucks GM made until about 1980 were the best I've ev er owned. They were made for work, easy to repair, parts are still not expensive, and you don't need a $2000 computer to fix all 300 OBD2, ABS, TCU, & ECU issues. A lot of us do not need or want a Cadillac on a frame costing $50,000

Back when trucks were trucks and men were men
@jackson meads Good for you, bud! I'm 17 with a 85 F150 that I'm forever upgrading. Ignition upgrade is tomorrow, then a junkyard run over the weekend for parts for a 2wd to 4x4 swap. Can't beat doing it all yourself, ya know. Keep learnin' and you won't go broke [quite so fast lol]
Been driving by that old girl for years, awesome to see it running great video subscribed
Thats neat! Thank you for subscribing
One of my favorite channels now, you are awesome sir. I love how you keep it simple, I think alot of people forget that cars especially older cars require three things to run air, fuel and spark. Keep up the wonderful videos they sure are a hoot😀.
I just realize why I love watching these videos..I get to share in the experience of getting a beautiful vehicle back on the road, but I don't have to do ANY of the work. Also I can watch the complete transformation in 30 minutes or less, and was oblivious to the 4-5 hours spent doing some wrong, then fixing it. Going to get tools and supplies you forgot. And I didn't have to sit outside in the hot sun to see it all get done!
Love the duck tape passenger side doorjam! That Gmc is a beauty, one of my favorite body styles in a truck! Honestly, I hope you fix it correctly & treat that truck to some body repairs/ replacement panels/ new metal. She is a beauty!!!
Just found your videos a couple days ago and couldn't stop watching till I got through all of them. It's great to see someone not take everything so serious. You had my side hurting from laughing so hard. Reminds me of the red green show. Always look forward to your next video.
Thanks Christopher, I really appreciate it
@@ViceGripGarage A little aVe in there,too. GREAT!
This is only my second ever VGG video and I already know “That’s way too much, which is perfect” needs to be one of his t-shirts.
I should be wrenching on my own junk, but here I am binge watching vice grip garage. Kudos to you for rescuing all these vehicles and giving them a new lease on life! Keep on, keeping on!
I like your style of humor, commentary, and your choice of vehicles you rescue.
Thanks Chuck!
A fellar was scrolling through TH-cam and came across this video. And I’ll be dipped.... loved it!
That's exactly how i found this guy.
I like your style man. When things are difficult don’t beat yourself down , make some jokes and depend on yourself. There is a lot of dudes out there who need to take notes. Thanks for your videos!
"she oughta run like a scolded coyote."---gold right there!
thanks for watching Marty
I always look forward to when a guy puts out a new vidya. And with a 4 speed/3:73 combo, I'm sure it won't be long before those dilapidated snow grips become shredded
😂
Discards air filter housing with great velocity..."Well, the carb's there...." 😂
🤭
Air density means more
Just watch banks power videos and that's all gale talks about
Yeet!
Ikr 😅 that made me laugh 😂
This is the spitting image of my father in law's truck. It moved me and my life to northern california back in the day.
That engine is so musical !! A regular symphony of sounds.
fact!
What a beautiful old girl, love the front end...surely this is worth some decent rust repairs and keeping? And thanks for the giggles...batteries, air cleaners and oil just being thrown around...you make very entertaining videos, sir!
Great design on these truck inside and out
I truly love this channel. Keep going as long as you enjoy it. I am sure the networks will come calling soon and suck all the joy out of this show with time restraints and deadlines. Hopefully you can stay here and make enough money because you deserve it.
“It’s got a flag on it - maybe it’ll add some horsepower” 😂🤣
I love vids like this, recently brought home an 84 K20 Suburban with a 4 speed that had sat for around 20 years but most of the time was in the fire department garage, it has very minimal weight reduction in the rear quarters frame was nearly mint, but engine had insane amounts of blow by I assume stuck rings but still drove and had decent power I actually drove it to work for a few weeks until it started having fuel starvation issues I was planning to run it til it blew before putting another 350 in, tried 4 different quadrafloods, New fuel pump, filters, many cans off berryman, I decided the issue was likely in the tank and parked it dropped the tank for cleaning and a new sock which I found to be choked off with crud. Swapped in another engine, mix of new and brand used parts and lines. Threw on a set of headers. Still needs exhaust but I drove it to the gas station and to town with open headers. Does great now just have to get it to the shop for exhaust!
Those are amazing vehicles, I drove one daily for 25 yrs it was the most reliable vehicle I ever had - never any major issues a few fuel pumps etc basic maint. Mine had a 305 4bbl and auto od, I kick myself for ever selling it
When yeah feel she’s getting stuck, it’s always best to keep spinnin til the propeller shaft is diggin sod.
Vice Grip Garage is so much better than anything on television - Many thanks for so much entertainment!
The radiator shroud breaks from being hit by the fan blades after the motor mount breaks. I broke lots of motor mounts and dad finally got a recall in the mail to chain the motor down. After that chain tie-down popping the clutch went great and no more broken mounts.
That bed flex while you're driving over the ruts and bumps is priceless :o)
"What we have here is a lot of weight reduction, meaning she was probably a dragster at one time." 😂😂😂
A guy remembers these GMC/Chevy's on the farm when he was a kid. Great video!
You’re getting this lucky because you’re rescuing old cars and trucks and you know what you’re actually doing!😄
Years ago I bought a 67 C-10 long bed with a 350 and manual 3 speed. I got it real cheap because the garage only wanted what they had in it. From what I learned a customer brought it to them with a blown engine and supplied the engine he wanted put in it. When they started the new motor it didn't have any power and the owner didn't want to pay them so it set there for years . They finally got title with a mechanics lean and I bought it. When I pulled it home and took the valve covers off 4 push rods were lower than the others and rockers not touching them. My father in law was a mechanic and thought it had a bad cam But I noticed that when the engine was turned over the push rods moved up and down as much as the others but seemed too short. My father in law said no it can't be that simple. We pulled the lifters and 4 were badly worn. Put in a new set of lifters and drove it for another 6 years. Engine was still running strong when I sold it.
"That's too much... which is perfect". LOL I'm stealing that!
If you notice he says that every time. Its perfect!!
Well like a lot of us out here that love watching you do this show, this is a gem I missed when initially binge watching your channel! It’s like reminiscing with a friend or brother on the good old times in the past! This one reminds me of an old friend that had a 69 Chevy 4 wheeler that was my drywall hanging partner. When we weren’t hanging drywall, we were off roading ! This was around 1971, in the SanFernando , Valley, Los Angeles and surrounding areas! We had a blast at work and our recreational off roading! But one thing I found out was that you can get more stuck , or stuck worse in a four wheel drive vehicle than a two wheel vehicle ! What’s crazy was we got stuck more , in town on muddy job sites than out of town moseying around exploring the local landscape! Now this Feller already knows why? You fellers figure that one out or yourselves! Well I’ll be dipped! 😂😜….
really great videos ...glad i found them ..i have a 73 dodge D200 club cab with a 400BB that i rescued from a farm here in Florida ...got it from the original owner ...it sat for 20 years . i drive her everyday now . this show encourages people to save history ...well done Guy
You straight up deserve a Sunday morning show on PBS. Right after this old house and new yankee workshop
Every show on big tv network channels is garbage, he needs to put in about %5000 less effort and he'll get a call.

@@hulkhogan2113 PBS is legit tho
well a guy is going through a rough patch, and this show is making me laugh and smile when not much else will.
My parents had a 71 that they got in 72. Sure wished i could track it down. The memories in that old truck. One being shaken violently between gears because my mom never knew how to drive it right lol and if it was cold....yikes. and no power steering hehe. But what i remember most? It never left us stranded. Rode in it from California to Mississippi, stayed two years then rode in it back to California from Mississippi. They finally sold it in 98. I never cried so hard over a vehicle in my life. It was like losing a family member. Id snap it up in a heartbeat if i could find it.
Man im glad i found this chanel move over roadkill vise grip garage is running this🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy!
Another ressurection of a small block Chevy!! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Edward
Ive also been "sitting" since 2003, Oct 4 specifically. Anywho I love this channel and everyone who stars in it. watching you revive units that just should not go is so addicting. You need to turn your talents to the human body, id like to see my body moving and driving again. Hell i'd even do 500 miles on the first go.
There's an old antique manure spreader next to that truck. My dad has one sitting in his yard in Wisconsin. Really brings me back seeing that. Thanks!
"That's way too much which is perfect"
Love it.
Everybody remember don’t skip his ads so this man gets paid!
Have ad free youtube very worth 11 a month
TH-cam Red
The wife was given a 72’ c20 about a month ago by her grandparents. Grandpa bought the truck off the show room. We’re really looking forward to start working on the old truck. She hasn’t run in 25 years because he blew a head gasket and never had time to fix it. On the plus side, it’s been in a garage this entire time.
Sounds like a great project! I don't mind head gaskets, gives me a excuse to throw a cam in it "while a guys there.
Gives you a sense of accomplishment when you drive them from there grave don't it. Man when you get em stuck you get em stuck don't ya. Buried it to the bumper awesome . Thanks for the great videos love it just left me the old days..
This was the first video I ever watched of vice grip garage
welcome to the show
I've finally stumbled upon the real Red Green, or at least his long lost brother. "If the women don't find you handsome, they'll at least find you handy" lol.
Russ Bonner My thoughts exactly.
Yes. You are spot on. I love that guy..
haha
@@ViceGripGarage good day and keep your stick on the ice
@@solomangrundy25 "keep yer dick in a vice".
Rewatching this one again. Such a fantastic sense of humor, and just an overall enjoyable experience. This is the kind of stuff that YT should have more of. Keep up the good work, bud. :)
Watch his 69 Chevelle one, the carwash was fantastic and funny!!!
@@garykreil5990 Yeah, I have seen it. I made that comment 3 years ago. 😉
Loved the 67 to 72 body style. If a feller can get a chassis and a title, he can source everything to fully restore these. Being a 4WD makes it super desirable.
very heavy and thick stong frame. these trucks are well worth building on again. i did and very proud..
Best channel out there, love your humor. You are a totally awesome dude. Your not afraid to be yourself, which cannot be said of many other youtubers. Keep up the good work and please don't ever stop making vidoes! :)
Thanks Zack!
I love this truck! The good thing about those 60's and 70's engines is there really isn't too much to them so they will eventually start after you've done the "process of elimination" trick.. That fan would have drove me nuts. Did you drive that home with no brakes?
Very true, thanks Jessica!
I love those old GM pickups from the late 60's - early 70's. That's a great find.
I love how he acted so surprised that it just drove right out of the hole it's been in for 16 years. It's got that good old GMC badge on it. That's back when GMC built a tough freaking truck
You never heard what GMC stands for? it means Great Mountain Climber!
From 1968 to 1972 these trucks had been built tough and all steel transfer gear run cases and Turbo 350 or Turbo 400s and the engines had been made with High Nickle_+ Iron blend .
By far my favorite video to date. That’s so neat seeing a sitting old truck getting up and running and driving! Love the content. I was smiling and laughing the entire time. You had me on the edge of my seat! Keep it up!!!
I love your videos! When I change my oil, as I am filling it I use the last few drops of my oil container to lube the hood latch so it opens easily. I hope this helps others out. Best to all. :)
My first vehicle when I was 16 was the Chevrolet version of that truck, a 1970 model that I drove for 12 years. I can’t tell you how much time I spent with my knees on the radiator and my butt stuck up in the air like that working on it.
Love this channel, reminds me of being a stupid ass 20 something year old...messing around with old trucks,tractors and bikes on the farm.
Muchos love from Australia
Big hub Dana 44, full floating rear axle with limited slip, 3.73's, 4 speed and a small block. I say it's got good bones.
Enjoyed the heck out of it today - been really putting it to work!
Very cool find! Rust included!
Glad I found you brother, you remind my of some of my family members lol, I love the show keep it up thank you
Thanks!!
See your wearing the Northern Plains "Rambler" Special! A guy don't let nothing go to waste, saves on everything. Thanks for the memories!
this channel really makes me want to go out and get fixin on something to drive home
Oh man you always crack me up but I appreciate you saving these old girls from there chains
Doing my best Dusty!
"She autta run like a scolded coyote"....that is amazing.
Glad you enjoy! Thanks for watching
Probably scalded not scolded, but hey I've never tried yelling at a coyote. Maybe they run pretty fast.
Love watching you, my whole family enjoys. Had a medical procedure done today, watching in the hospital
Ah, here it is. The squeaky video that drove our hero, Derek crazy 🤣.
That's a classic! I'd love to have that old girl.
These videos remind me of like Bob Ross but if he worked on cars
Good one.
Exactly
I'm in 100% ross was a hipmatyseder. Of the peaples just like Big Derik. A guy was thinking. LOL..😁✌👍👍
This is the most informative and hilarious car channel ever! love your no-nonsense methodology !
I have a 85 olds that I need to finish building the motor for and you are giving me the motivation to do it, thank you!!!!!!
"And you can really trust this, 'cause it says 'China' right on it." Hahahahahahaha!

The frame on this truck looks better than the frame on my 04 Silverado
Some bad rust in these neck of the woods!
Uh yep, looks just like my 2005 Silverado. Actually your bed looks better than mine. I'm one bad pothole away from a cab sliding off the frame.
Damn wax coatings on those chevys... they aren’t worth shit.
Wash your truck more frequently in winter.
@@owenarsenault5955 Well, you can't wash the sheet metal unless you've got a heated garage to park it in, but then a heated garage accelerates the effects of the sticky salt they put on the roads. My '89 K1500 with 117K has a body that has partially rusted away from the top of the frame and suspension that has partially rusted away from the bottom of the frame, plus some holes here and there. Too late, I wish I'd at least washed the underside when it was ten below.
This truck brings back memories. I used to have a 72 chev truck, 1/2 ton, 4x4, and a wood bed. Great video Derek!
My 66 gmc sat in the woods almost 20 years after somebody started stripping the motor, and the rest of it down, and tossing everything in the bed. I put it back together and it actually ran and I drove it to pick up a rebuilt short block, no oil pressure at all after it warmed up, no knocks or rattles. I feel like VGG is a long list relative of mine. It's a custom can and all the stainless trim was in the bed, along with all the original accessories. No nice, but more mud dauber nests glued to it than VGG's yellow stingray had ants.
Nice old K20. Lots of extra HP parts. Good deal.
I agree with all. Hilarious and informative. I would definitely have a few pints with you.
K20 Old skool torque monster. We used one on our farm in the 80's. Gotta love it. GaMike 82fxwg

Hey Derek, have you ever tried emptying most of the oil and topping it off with kerosene, then you run it for about 3-5 minutes? It cleans out the oil passages and drains any sludge that's inside.
Haven’t seen such a liberal application of Canadian chrome since the red green show. A guys impressed
I absolutely love this channel and Road side Rescues!
Absolutely love your videos, I'm binge watching them now!
Thank you Chris!
Me too! I've been off for the last two weeks and I've been watching video after video trying to get caught up I love it so far
Brought back alot of good memories, my dad had a swb 69' Chevy when I was a kid. Wish I had that truck nowadays.
Allways enjoy your clips I do what you do for resale its the best therapy thanks for the fun
