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)

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 KZread.

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.

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!

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.

That wasn't even Fix A Flat, it was Flex Seal! Hilarious! Derek - you and your brother and cousin honor Grandpa in the right way. My grandparents on Mom's side were gone before I was born, and I lost my Dad's at age 5 an 12, didn't really get to know them very well. My Mom passed when she was 60 (damn cigarettes) but my Dad, the old farmer, hung in to 83. He got really sick at 82 and recovered enough to come and live with us the last year of his life. He held class every night from the rocking chair with my younger daughter and son sitting at his feet, learning what it was like to live without electricity or cars, life on the farm, etc. Now my son has a bug up his ass about something and has kept his 5 kids away from us as punishment. He has no idea that his kids will resent him for that, because it is them that are being deprived of 2 loving grandparents that won't be around much longer.

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!!

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Where can you listen to old Paul Harvey? I would love to hear some old “rest of the story”

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 .

Chris had a mile wide smile driving the old beast and operating the dump.

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.

My grandpa wouldn't fix the brakes, he'd a jammed the throttle wide open headed for the barn, I can hear him sayin" now whatcha gonna do boy?, better figure it out quick.." sure do miss that old man... Another of his favorite sayings, " best not tell grandma about this..."

You could almost see the 3 of them as teenagers working on the farm, riding just like that in the truck. Should be a framed picture.

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.

This may be the first VGG vehicle I've seen that actually has brakes!

Leave it to something on KZread to make a grown man cry. I remember my grandpa using his horse to pull a sled to load the hay that had been raked and letting me ride on it back in the 1950's. He was the smartest men I ever knew because of all the things he could do even though he only went to the third grade. He was born in 1886 when everything was different. My dad entered World War II even though he didn't have to go since he was under age. and ended up on Iwo Jima. I couldn't have asked for two better role models and truly miss both of them.

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

So do I now I am one!!

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

Family, memories and shared experiences, that's what life is about, not the flash stuff. For a moment there a fellar felt like one of the family! Never stop what you are doing Derek!

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

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

Derek's brother is pure country boy. Talks when he feels like talking.

When I was about twelve years old, I would spend my weekends and summer helping my dad with his part time job , tree work. Anyone who does tree work knows it’s not really a part time job. He had the same truck with high sides on the bed. He would load wood chucks , logs and sometimes brush. Usually we stayed up all night to burn the brush piles though. Best memory I had was we were heavy loaded with logs and headed home . Dad was driving a little fast around a curve and my door came open . All I saw was gravel round for a few seconds and noticed dad had grabbed my shirt to prevent me from going out the door . He slowed up a little . I thought it was funny. Never told mom that one. Take care guys .

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.

That ending hit a guy like a double shot of whiskey on a Tuesday night. Got me all in my feels

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.

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.

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.
