This is crazy! This truck was in my family for three generations! My Grandfather bought it and when he passed, it got passed to my father. My father then drove it around for years and then gave it to my brother to restore. My brother then sold it to Derek. It’s so exciting to see the truck that I shared many drives in with my dad still on the road!
What a cool story!
That is amazing.
Awesome !!
Great story and history came to a complete circle.
You need zip tape
This is my favorite vehicle story ever! Husband recovers sentimental truck for wife, father and son road trip, perfect story! Merry Christmas to the whole Vice Grip Garage family!
Brian Piper, I couldn't have said it Better!!
My thoughts exactly Brian. I seemed to have gotten something in my eye right after the reveal.
And not just all that, but she's a gearhead too! Great fam you have there Derek!
Absolutely. Merry Christmas to you and yours brother
@@72Z15SS I agree that it's up there but the Model A Ford that he drove 723 miles is a tough one to beat. This story on this truck is very good for sentimental reasons but when a 96 year old car made it 723 miles without going on the back of a toe hook, that to me is a story for the ages.
Little man was a absolute legend! Never complained not one time and that looked very cold riding for that many miles. Hats off to him!!
I’m sure edited all that out lol
@@nobodystalkin1I’m not so sure he had too.🤔
@@nobodystalkin1"Never complained not one time". As if he could possibly know 😂 "Truth" has completely lost its meaning in the modern world.
Yes lil dude built different...I could hear my kids SCREAMING am COLD....
I love the chemistry too
The way your wife was looking at you at the end...holy cow. Just priceless. You are an amazing husband. So thoughtful and thanks for inviting us along with some cold snacks. -Dan
Yes, you can tell that she absolutely adores him, if we could all only be that lucky. Most women would want all the attention.
yes i noticed that too. how she was so attentive and happy.
@@garylivingston9052 That isn't luck. Try being more like Derek and maybe you won't attract "most women".
That is lucky, i have been around the block a few times with this. You can tell pretty quickly in a relationship if she is really into you and the things that you do for a living or a hobby. If she is not then you must leave and find someone who is more supportive otherwise you are in for misery...Lol@@myplaylistisfire
@@myplaylistisfire You definitely receive what you give out.
ATTENTION: "Vice Grip Garage" is the ONLY verified user on youtube. Anyone else claiming you won something or wants you to contact them is a SCAM! HAPPY HOLIDAYS - APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!
Merry Christmas Derek to you and your loved ones! 🎅
One thing I’ve noticed with KZheadrs is that if they are giving away something they announce it in a video so if they haven’t said anything in a video about it then it’s a scam.
Theres a lot of people doing these scams , I love Messing with them last guy was from India
@@michaelmays9292 how did you find out where he was from?
Merrychristmas an thanks for the video an godbless
Your channel has become one of the few things I can count on for positivity and warmth, despite your trip here through the cold. In this crazy world full of bad news, watching you doing your thing with Bentley, surprising Jessica with her old truck - just every single VGG video really - is my antidote for all that. You make me miss my dad, when I was the youngest human he was responsible for. I want to thank you and your family for what you do, and what you have come to mean to me. Corny - I know, but I mean it.
Thanks for the kind words
well said brother. Now days.. everyday that goes by when you do not watch the news. Is a better day. PEACE Friend. Merry Christmas from me to you. We will get through this eventually. Faith in God and his ways for a real life. Not what we hear but what we know.
I totally agree with this!
exactly. same here. 99,9347% exactly the same. there is an extra frequency on this channel.
This comment 100percent truth
You're an awesome dad and husband . I'm impressed with how you are raising your kids . I wish more folks would follow your example . Your love , respect , and caring for your wife and kids is something that we need to have more of . I wish more people would be like you and put others ahead of themselves . The world would be a much better place . Thank You Sir for setting such a great example for us to follow .
You said exactly what I was thinking!!
What's rly amazing is its literally all stemmed from kindness, and the bug thing is patience
Yep, a guy just gone and watched it end to end again! Donuts with sprinkles....perfect. The way Jessica is looking at you at the end shouts how special you are to her! Beautiful to see. What a contrast setting off on the final leg of the trip, I could see grass and blacktop 😮😊 must have been a relief. 😊
My wife passed away from lupus in 2021 but I can still appreciate when a man goes to the extreme to make his wife happy. Well done, Derek and Merry Christmas. Just two things an old boy noticed. 1) The truck looks a lot better with Jessica driving it and 2) It don't sit as low with her as it did with you. ;-)
Lost my beloved sister to Lupus too.
I lost my wife of 35+ years to cancer in February of 2017, it sucks! 💔
@@roneddington7564 sorry to hear mate
@@roneddington7564 It does indeed. Cancer took mine in November of 17. Sure miss the little stink, she made life so much better as I'm sure yours did. The rest of you guys cherish every minute, it can be gone in a single breath.
So sorry to hear that your wife passed!
get longmire back ,road trip with your son and surprise jessica with her favorite truck....what a great video.....this has to be one of the best to watch
The way his wife looks at him at the ending…. That’s love.
VERY well done Derek. Very well done. Jessica is what you call the back bone of the whole operation.the flights, reservation's allowing ya to go an buy another project car/truck. Thank You jess. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE AND TO THE VICE GRIP FAMILY! Keep up the amazing vids.
Thanks for that!
@@ViceGripGarage Your Very Welcome
HH back at ya
Merry Christmas Derek and family you are the best and I ain't kidding
@@ViceGripGarage good on ya.... A fella might shed..... IM NOT CRYING IN MY COLD SNACK RIGHT NOW.....!!!!!😢
You are a great man Derek! Jessica's smile says it all. Merry Christmas to you and your entire family.
The love light in her eyes is something else. All of us should find someone like that (I did). Cheers and Merry Christmas from frigid Denver
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have to admit, I was a bit choked up watching this one. You really have something special here Derek. I love cars and mechanics and have watched hundreds of entertaining and videos on auto repair from other channels. yours is by far the most entertaining. And you do it all with humility and without foul language. I also love that you show the American Flag! I will keep watching....God bless you and your family.
Love that good woman and show her how much she means to you everyday because she loves you more!
The stories that your son will be able to tell his grandson will be priceless.God Bless your family.
Not only that he can show them
I’m so glad she got that truck. Nobody sees the work Jessica puts in, she is always working just like Derek. I’ve been down there at 8pm and she is out there working, helping in the shop, mowing, always doing something and always a smile on her face. This whole episode was awesome. Merry Christmas guys
i haven't seen love in a woman's eyes like that in a long time..your the man
Your Bently really RULES! You ROCK little buddy! The kind of son any Dad would be proud to have my friend!
Gets me right in the feels EVERYTIME to see the way that a guy interacts with his Precious family. What used to be normal & commonplace not too long ago is now rare & unique in this day and age. Very refreshing to see wholesomeness making a comeback in America!! God Bless to you & yours this Holiday season & ALWAYS, Derek. Keep making Quality entertainment & we'll KEEP watching!!
It's still pretty normal. News only shows you the worst of the worst. Most people are decent people. And strong family is still very much a thing.
@@Spartan265 Amen to that. We are out there, and I think the Dererk, Jess and Fam + the VGG community embodies that. Keep paying it forward, fellas & fellettes
Indeed.
Gotta be honest, as a guy who lost the kid lottery, I'm green with envy. But it does me good to see good humans making more good humans. Raisin' my cold snack to ya, Derek, for raisin' them littl'uns up right. 🍻
Merry Christmas to my favorite KZhead family. 🎄 Jessica's smile is worth a million bucks!
You folks must be the nicest family on KZhead. Thanks so much for all your hard work this year, it’s greatly appreciated ❤
A very merry Christmas to you, Jessica and the boys from my family up here in NYCTo yours!
enjoyed the heck out of this. When a poor, single dad, my son and would take cheap trips to nowhere and he still talks about those road trips and the fun times of togetherness. Hes pushing 50 now and a passel that he's responsible for. Great show Derek. God bless you and your family. Keep on keeping on.
It was great to see Jessica just looking at the truck with a big smile. You are truly blessed.
Derek is by far one of the coolest dads and husbands ever.
You got that right.
Yes he is *****🤟 AND JESSICA IS SO WONDERFULL AND PRETTY ,WHAT A COUPLE***THOSE BOYS ARE SPITING IMAGE OF BOTH****FREAKIN AWESOME FAMILY****
You are just an awesome human being Derek! Such a great father and husband. And as always you take us a long for the ride. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and hopefully you get some down time to spend with them.
Fred, well said.
Your Wife loves you very much,her eyes lights up with admiration as she looks at you! I salute you your a real man. I pray im able to find a wife & build a happy family just as you have! Keep doing the right things and living the real American dream my brother 📍💪💯
Again, the most wholesome channel on KZhead.
Just great to see Jessica so happy!! You’ve set the bar high for the rest of us men humans to get the right present. 😮😮
If I spent that kinda money for her on Christmas…. I’d be getting dragged behind that Truck for a week. She’d still drive it, but a guy wouldn’t be alive😂
I'm only a little passed the 7min mark. I want to thank you, not only for sharing this video but also for creating the memory with your son. My dad wasn't around much when I was young and I'm now doing my best to create moments like this with my children. I can only imagine the way your son will tell this story to his children someday. God bless.
He will remember the trip long after Derrick is gone. I have memories like that with my grandfather- and that's more than 50 years ago. These last forever.
Really enjoy your time with us and for sharing what you do
Derek, your boys are blessed with a really great dad...!
Just watched this one again for probably the fourth time. I'm not crying, you're crying! Her smile was Well worth the trip I'm sure! God bless you and your family buddy!
Great job Derek!! All of us long time watchers know that Jessica is the glue that holds this whole thing together. That smile on her face was priceless. Thanks also for always making me smile. Merry Christmas to your family. Much love from Ga.
The realization moment must’ve made that drive totally worth it. Well done Derek!
It was changed just enough to bottle her mind but things came back pretty qwik. What a great family. Good eye Bentley catching that hub cap. 👍👍✌
Just my opinion: This was the best episode in a while. Every episode is good but seeing you put so much effort into doing something special for your wife is really nice. Also, including your son was great. I am certain you all made a ton of memories that you will carry with you.
What a cool adventure for your son. Your family is just precious. Thank you for sharing all this. God bless y’all
Man Derek, more proof your the bestesis most generous man on earth! What a story, I bet your wife's smile was from ear to ear! You guys are special folks and the world definitely needs more folks like you all!!! Happiest of holidays to you all, story definitely put a big smile on a fellars face and maybe even a tear or 2!!!! You guys just rock!!!!!!!
I really enjoy seeing your youngest go on trips with you. He seems to really be into helping you on revivals and such. ❤
Just watched this episode again and loved(again) the surprise look on Jessica's face when she realized it was her old truck. As always ...epic. Thanks for the great content.
Great Video, Great memories with your son! Derek deserves all the success in the world for being one of the good guys out there!
Derek that little lad of yours is a credit to you. You are a very fortunate man. Happy Christmas
Even after the years of watching I never miss an episode. What a great one. Man I got some dust in my eye. Youre crying im not crying. Merry Christmas to Derek, Jessica, and the boys!
Hey James I got a little dust in my eyes also, I think its from all this strong wind we are getting lol
Beautiful moment when she hugged ya. Back in 86 when I was 16 I put a Budweiser tap handle on my shifter for my 66 Chevy too. It was super tall like that 😂
I've watched you for years and this is one of your best episodes. It's so nice to see you work so hard to make your wife happy. Jessica smiles when she saw her old truck warmed my soul. Blessings to your family.
Nothing like having a copilot. And he's lucky to have the most laid back dad in the universe. Great road trip.
This is so awesome. Jessica was clearly so thrilled. Nicely done Derek.
I clicked on whim and this was wonderful. Commentary is aweesome.
She didn't even recognize it
yes serious husband brownie points there... SERIOUS. wink wink.. points. :) Happy new year!
Longmire is awesome,the show and this truck! Maybe a custom elk/antler custom pistol grip shifter knob for a Mother’s Day gift👍🏻more brownie points as if you needed ‘em
What a great gift for the wife!
Awesome, thank you for sharing. God Bless 🙏
I'm 66, I've never forgotten a road trip with dad when I was 8. He said, "hey, son, want a hot dog?" I said, "yes Sir." So we took a quick 120 mile drive and spent the night with my grandparents. I thought we weregoing to the grocery store until we got to Alabama. Lil dude wont forget
This is without a doubt, the most awesome VGG video ever.That smile on Jessica's face,was absolutely priceless, as well as beautiful. I think my most favorite part of the entire road trip, was you telling Bentley he can have the sprinkle donuts,but don't tell his mom.That makes a fella pretty special to the youngest human he's responsible for, 😆. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the entire VGG family, be very Blessed 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ViceGripGarage i thoroughly enjoyed it,tyvvm.Looking forward to another year with great VGG content
47:50 what a wonderful gift. I f***ing love what you have with Jessica. You all deserve every bit of happiness and success. You both more than earned it. so happy for you guys. say hi to your little humans and Merry Christmas. Thanks Jess & Dereck. All the love.
Guys got his youngest human with him.... pizza and pick up truck snow adventure with the best dad ever.
I remember driving around with my Dad in the winter having to balance a 5 gallon roofing tar bucket filled with Coal for heat in our 50's International Travel-all truck as we went all around. Good Times!
I always have such admiration for how involved and caring you are with your family. All the best to you and yours! Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays!
Just when I think you cant get any more wholesome, seeing Jessica's realization that it was Longmire was such great Christmas energy. Who needs Hallmark movies when you have VGG?!? Well done sir!
That's 😊 awesome I'm happy for you and your family I live in Minnesota happy you recovered her truck she looks happy keep it up family is everything and I see you feel the same
Very nice! I bought my girlfriend a '65 Chevy K10 for her b-day this year! Cheers!
Derek & everything he’s created with VGG, is just absolutely amazing. I love ur videos brother, you can talk to any audience and teach people things without making them feel dumb or like it’s super complicated. You always include your family in your endeavors and as a whole you’re just a good man. Merry Christmas to you ur family & all VGG viewers.
Jessica created this too…. She does a lot more than people think for this channel and looks after three kids when he’s not home.
Never found a channel that captivates my interest as much as yours. Love the videos, your commentary throughout and wish you all a merry xmas from the UK.
I've watched maybe 8 VGG videos & loved them but so far this is my favorite, a dad with his son. Glad the wife was surprised & liked it back. Happy for a safe trip back home.
Wow what a great show and I have to say that your a great Dad and a husband The donuts with sprinkles is the best treat for your son !!!!!!
It’s super cool what you did for your wife one of the reasons I love your show keep it up
Jessica's response to finding out it was Longmire was awesome! She lit up so happy. A feller knows how to please his wife, that's for sure. I think Longmire deserves a new floor and rockers and seal it all up. Put some custom inner fenders up front and fix up on the ole' airbags, she will then be one of Jessica's best Going to Town rigs. Have a very Merry Christmas Derek and Jessica and family! God bless you all.
This is a wonderful memory your son will always have. You're a good Dad.
Very cool to find the wife's vehicle and surprise her with it, and to have your young human as a travel companion, Jackpot Derick !
Absolutely love what you do and what you do for the veterans and your family. Keep up the great work and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
You brought a tear to my eye when Jessica recognised "Longmire"! So, shorten the shifter, power steering, a little bit of rust repair... I am sure your viewers will want to see it all!
Dude. 1000 miles in the snow to give that back to your wife is devotion. You are a keeper mate.
You're never too old for sprinkle donuts, love your videos. Keep it up.
That's awesome! After a couple days of -10 weather around here I sure wouldn't have wanted to take that kind of trip glad you and the little one had a safe(ish) trip and the boss is happy with her present.
I said it before.. The most wholesome, sweetheart of a guy in the YT car community!! Jessica is the glue that holds it together and they’re raising those boys up right! I’m happy for Jessica, she deserves it!
From a old man grand dad rode hard & put up wet That's some good Fatherin right there!! YES SIR! Amen! Blessings you guys! BLESSINGS!!
He’s never gonna forget this trip ❤ I miss taking cross country trips with my Dad when we were hauling cattle or at nights in the winter I’d go out plowing driveways with him and we would listen to classic rock while drinking hot chocolate. Cherish it as I’m sure you do 🤘
You sir are a hell of a father. Bentley is going to have so many stories to tell his kids. He also seams to be a very well manared young man.
I love these road trips. This is a route I know pretty well, kinda feels like I'm almost along for the ride except it's warm in here. Bentley is growing up with some of THE best memories. Good stuff, Derek.
Beautiful soul beautiful wife who appreciated gifts, its LIT BROTHER cheers man.from Australia
It brought a smile to my face just pretending I was in your shoes for a minute like I usually do but to see the joy and shock of receiving something that once was lost or sold and to bring it around again for a loved one is truly special as with you and your family. I hope you all had a great holiday season and look forward to you sharing more of what you do and your life with the world and thank you very much for doing so!
Wonderful to see how delighted she is with it. Well done sir, my hat's off to you.
Bentley's such a trooper, and you're excellent at keeping the bad points from freaking anyone out. I could see that little bit of fear peeking into your head as things weren't going to plan out there in the cold with your boy. That just shows you're a damn good dad. Also that you've had stuff like this happen a time or two! Johnny on the spot with all the keep-warm goodies for you and the kid. Good on ya, big guy.
Every time I watch your videos I end up smiling. Great job with your videos and your family.
Derek , you’re an awesome husband and father ! Wishing you all the very Best in 2024 !
Seeing the love you and Jess have for each other touches my soul! Keep up the good work you guys!
I would have been to the Home Depot for 2 cans of spray foam insulation for the weight reduction remediation. Merry Christmas to the whole gang.
This is my favorite video of yours Derek, I'm glad that you got Longmire back for Jessica,she's so happy that you got him back even though she's not jumping up & down,I could see it in her face that she's glad she has him back
Yes!! Try it with butter, everything changed! Some of my favorite videos have been the adventures with your boys. Those are memories that they will cherish forever.
Gotta admit,, I almost teared up there at the end ,, well done Boss well done !! And ….Merry Christmas
I really like how her mind was so bottled that it took so long to realize it was her old truck. Great reaction!
Yes. It took a while for it to sink in didn't it!! You could see the interest building in her face though.
Seeing her reaction makes me smile. A guy did a good job 👏
What a wonderful family. And that is a beautiful truck.
100 percent with you on the Taco Johns thing. From what I hear, there is one in Tennessee….
This is why VGG will always be part of my Friday Evening Schedule. You can help but like a guy that does this for his awesome wife. Having your son go with you was a great addition. Thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I also hope you get some time with the family to sit back and enjoy your hard work from the past year.
Makes me miss my dad. This is cool on so many different levels
How awesome is that. Jessica is just glowing with pride and love for her man. Raising some awesome little humans there. Love all your stuff. Keep it up.
Best. Episode. Ever. Derek is not just a cool car guy, but a great human raising more great humans the right way! Merry Christmas to you, Jessica and the little fellers...
These two create joy.
Such a class act this Sasquatch sized fella is. One of the best channels on the KZhead in my honest opinion. Nice family oriented entertainment indeed
i dont care how many times i go and rewatch your vids i still love to see guys doing your thing its superb
Making memories that'll last a lifetime with your son and make the better half a happy gal. Way to go Derek
This episode went STRAIGHT to top 3 of my favourite VGG episodes. Happy christmas to the family Derek and also to everyone watching and reading these comments. ❤️
What a awesome suprise and Christmas Present For your Wife Derek @Vice Grip Garage
Just have to like this man and his people.
