How is it possible that I stay glued to the TV screen watching "a guy" detail an old truck? I cannot answer that question, but i enjoy every minute of it. Keep the videos coming

This guy is the absolute best thing in DIY automotive KZfaq

Bought my dad a '79 version of a sorta kinda similar truck in '85. Plainer version with a 6 cylinder and three on the tree but very similar interior. He loved that thing, had always wanted a truck. Unfortunately, when he passed in '91 I did not stop my mother from selling his truck. Lots of emotions and all that. I am so glad he had the truck for 6 years. Wish I had it now. A feller misses his dad.

I just found this on KZfaq and I'm hooked my son bought a rv and used a gas can and a external fuel pump and got home 3 miles it had been sitting 8 years and because I started watching it here and thanks to you because he would not have known if I had not seen it for myself I love watching

If I was a guy who owned this truck I would have a hard time putting a for sale sign in the window of it. She's a keeper.

Derek, to see a forty year old Pickem up truck look brand new without a frame off restoration and rebuild is simply stunning. Well done young man!

I wouldn’t have been able to do everything you did to that truck, because the more time I spent with it, the more I would want to keep it. What a find. This is two years ago, I hope whoever bought it has been enjoying it.

I wouldn't have been able to let that truck go, she is a beauty!!!!!!

A guy couldn’t blame a guy if a guy keeps the truck

I think the floor carpet color you’re looking for is “I’m Ron Burgundy?”

Nice truck, where did the plastic cover for the carpet?

Nice to see a beautiful original truck that hadn't Been "fast n louded" Congratulations it looks great!

I know this video has been up for a while but I’m making my way pretty much through your entire “catalog”. I just wanna say thank you ....you may have no idea the joy you bring to a lot of folks who appreciate your sense of humor, your repair skills - including, let’s call it improv, and the memories of working on old cars with Dad’s or other special people. Should you ever find yourself in Louisville, KY you have a friend who will buy you a good pour of bourbon (or your choice) as a hearty thank you!

The secret of putting the hub caps on is “putting them on”. Loved it. Beautiful truck.

This guy is my spirit animal - it's like being back in the garage with my dad 30 years ago LOL

The Big Ten, was basically known as a heavy half ton. GMC built a similar version they called The Gentleman Jim. It was a heavy package with overload springs and a towing package that you could order with the Sierra Grande, which was the GMC equivalent of the Silverado.

Just discovered this channel. I’m now binge watching on the clock, a guy couldn’t blame a guy for livin how he wants.

Even my toddler loves to see what a guy is up to. I think his first words with be "I'll be dipped". Great vidya Derek!!

this is the most wholesome channel of youtube....and boy that is EXACTLY why i watch this. always leave me dipped.

"I'm too lazy to look!" Priceless

THANK you for all your perfect and funny car rescue videos. You are also now in Germany a little legend. And I wish that I could buy from you this beautiful red truck as my favourite, cause such things in Germany very rarely to find. You are the best and please take care of you, that you can entertain us in minimum the next 20 years with your videos. Perfect man with perfect cars and also the perfect hearth for all these things. Greetings from Germany on Mr. Little Legend ;-)

The easiest mess to clean is the one you don't make. That's profound! I love it!

Can't believe how much of a difference a little cleaning and buffing on an old tired looking truck makes!

That's one fine looking big 10 Derrick love how you did it , I would keep it too ...

She's a beauty! Makes me wish I never sold my 79 Big 10 that I had throughout my high school years.

probably the cleanest c10 to ever come out of michigan that wasnt restored or in a museum

After I hooked my peepers on that truck it makes a guy want to get one for himself. Dangit that truck is looking gooood!

theres just somethin about seeing a minty ol pickup that really makes a feller feel good. Its like the sensation of a candle burning in a clean house

You did a fine job cleaning her up. She's looking sharp.

That truck ended up gorgeous. I would love to know what she fetched at auction.

When something is Giving ne trouble anymore..i go "Yah, Git Git outta here" or "C'mon Now" it ACTUALLY Work's 😎

Even funnier than the last😂 this is the only channel that makes me laugh out loud keep up the awesome work love this channel.

Anybody else feel like a guy is just my hero. I just like all the work a guy does. And a guys vernacular is something else. A guy has got a whole new way of talking. Mad props Derek. Keep up the great work !!!!!!😁

You're one of my favourite human beings

Thanks! This brings back memories of my ‘77 Silverado, blue with the light blue stripe. Big ol vinyl bench seat, perfect for “dating”!

I lost it at: "It's kinda like watchin' David Hasselhoff runnin' down the beach". Coffee spewed.

14:15 That's kinda typical up here in Canada, people will oil their latches and rub the bottoms of their doors and other rust happy spots to keep them "seasoned" as I like to call it. Not too sure how effective it is, but hey, whatever eh.

"You don't wanna get stuck in the tub like Arnie Grape" Derek's off the wall comments are really gooder. Keep the videos coming, really enjoy watching you and learning a thing or two.

The really funny thing is he's not using time-lapse on the buffing. He really moves that fast.

The David Hasselhoff quip was the funniest of all Derek one liners, and that's a long list. Most enjoyable channel on the tubes.

That's the type of truck that I would buy -- no pollution stuff, just what you need and not much more. I'd even put an 8- track in there !! That came out beautiful, man. Props and kudos to you, guy ! Wish that there was someone like you near me !!

Keep er. A feller needs a really sweet pickup.He doesn't want to have regrettables later.

The best way to keep the spray off the windshield is to spray the rag, not the dash.

She's a dang beaut guy! Definitely know how to bring em right around!

​Hot Dang - that's one slick lookin 40 year old truck

Easily for me the best car show on KZfaq. The truck looks amazing. Thanks. UK Fan.

What a beautiful truck. I’m jealous of whoever ended up with it!!

That c10 is ah mans dream. Lol awsome. These relics are going to be absoleet soon. Glad to see someone giving them a second go round. Theyll never make anything as durable again.

Learnt recently that "Custom" as a trim level means "stripped, basic as beans and white rice". Reckon "Custom Deluxe" means all of that plus floor mats maybe? The trick to not getting cleaner goo on the glass is to never clean anything but the glass. Just blow the rest out with a leaf blower.

The rusty nail accident reminded me I was drilling holes in an aluminum tool box with my finger on the back side, with brand new titanium bits....OUCH!!!

So today I asked my coworker "could you hook your peepers on the patient in room 7". She didn't know what to do with that request.

When you walked around from the unbuffed side to the buffed side, I was like I just saw my team make a touchdown during the superbowl!

"I bought the cheapest I could find, even though everyone said the holes don't lineup...well the holes don't line up..."

"The easiest mess to clean up is the one you don't make. Actually, that makes sense, so you can disregard that."

You can keep from hitting the glass with the spray by spraying the cloth then wipe the dash instead of spraying the cloth. Also noticed looks like you were using a microfiber for that. It works better if you use a cloth that doesn’t absorb as much for that use such as a old t-shirt.

"The easiest mess to clean is the one you don't make!" I love it!

My first rig was a 76 blazer this same color...dang I miss that rig. I’ve owned three square bodies. Thanks for sharing another outstanding show ✌🏼

One of those big drywall knives works pretty good for keeping the window clean while you're doing the dash

Truck turned out beautiful! If she was mine, I’d drive it. I love to watch these old trucks and cars get some much needed love. Thanks for the awesome entertainment and keep up the good work.

Detailing guy here. I clean the glass after I do the dash.

I was born in 1980 what a fine and vintage year 🍻

This guy actually knows exactly what you mean about the tape, I have trouble wanting to take it off before everything is dry and then this guy is starting all over again. Thanks Derek and family have yourself a blessed week.

watched the ashtray part like 64.3 times in a row and still in tears.

Just imagine pulling that truck up to someone's house with the trailer hooked up to it ,you definitely would know your old ride would be in good hands ,great channel by the way

This is the only channel i dont fast forward through

3 years later and a guy is still in love with this truck.

Great job, It brings me back when I did Detailing cars in the 80s now on new cars I use Clay down the whole car and wipe it down with a Terrycloth and get the ceramic spay as seen on TV . What a shine.

tbh i would probably buy a VGG shirt that says "I don't know."

I'm impressed to hell.Tastefully done with just the right amount of hard work and nonsense. Love the words of wisdom about the mess you make too.

I really appreciate the low key//relaxed approach you take when adversity seems to hunt you down or you hunt it down. Good example to your wife and kids and those watching on this here “i telephone”! Thanks., I happen to be going through a season in life when the laid back approach works a lot better than screaming and yelling. Thanks for your videos.

Classic looking pickup. Love the old trucks . Simple did the job reliable.

So happy to see this truck completed!!! I've been looking forward to this video since the first one!

Man that came out AWESOME!! 😮😮 I really enjoyed watching that transformation. 👍🏻

I started using the Sprayway products you showed and for sure they work gooder than stuff i used get and it costs less money too. I wish they would market their products everywhere becuz i like it a lot and my boo boo, she likes the smell and i do too. Tire shine works good on my boots

Sitting here layed up with a foot problem, so watching some of your earlier work. Noticed the oil on the bottom of the doors on the inside. Thats actually why that truck is rust free. My uncle mixes up oil and diesel fuel and sprays the inside of the doors with it. That way they don't rust from the inside out. Diesel fuel just makes it, so you can spray it. Love the channel.

My go to rattle can is the duplicolor engine enamel. It ain't crazy expensive and is pretty tough. Its also fuel and heat resistant

That’s one of the nicest pick em up’s I’ve ever seen. Congrats man love it 😍

Only way to keep the gunk off your windshield is to spray only the towel to clean the dash. Then use a magic eraser on the windshield to get any overspray off. Love your content feller!

I spray and clean the dash 1st and then handle the windshield overspray when I clean the windshield. I usually go top down of course but I actually do have method to some of my madness.

My man you are the spiritual successor to Red Green and I love it! Keep it up

Love the humor. Love seeing someone who really knows engines work on them. As a Alabama fan, I would love to own that red truck. Best regards and keep up the great work!!!

I am 2 years too late but I really hope you kept the BIG10 Silverado....I love that truck! God bless you and yours!

That is a beautiful pickup!!! I had (purchased new) a 72, 73, 76 and 77 Chevy pickups. I loved them all, then started buying Chevy vans and SUVs. The last GM product I bought was a 2009 GMC Acadia. I loved it for about a year, then everything bad started happening to it and I haven't owned another GM product since. GM would not honor the warranty, and I went all the way to the top trying to get help. I'm driving Ram trucks now and have been ever since the Acadia, and I love them. Great job Derek!!!

Your humor and your language are refreshinating, wow! Thanks!

Beautiful! That truck reminds me of my fathers daily driver from the early 80’s. They sure don’t make em like that anymore, sadly.

I restored a 1981 Silverado. Same color interior. I painted my door panels. Your 1980 is really a very nice truck.

That truck is a rare find in this day and age. As an auto glass tech in the mid 80s to early 90s, I am reminded as to how many windshield and door and vent glass I put in these old trucks, not to mention, rear sliders. No way you'll find another in that kind of shape nowadays. Personally, I would have kept it, but I know a guy needs to turn a profit. Beautiful rig.

A guy has never thought you could find a 1980 chevy in that good of shape anymore.

“Where’s my iplate” 😂😂

I had a 1973 Custom Delux Big 10 short bed. It had massive 8 leaf spring pack. Boy a Flip on that was a Big drop!!!

I have a 73 GMC 3/4 ton, with a 292. No power steering, no power brakes, 3 speed on the column, and I love it, and REFUSE to get rid of it. I am adding factory air, (I had never heard of Vintage Air), but after starting that project, wished I hadn't, as the firewall is different, so I had to have my bother do the welding, (I don't know how to weld). I have also added dual carbs and headers with dual exhausts.

This truck is beautiful. Love that color.

The seat color is "saw mill accident red"

Derek: I love these square bodies! Had a 1974 metallic orange camper special! Another vehicle I wrenched on , as I told you about my 67 Pontiac Fire- chicken! I touched every bolt on that truck rebuilt every thing on that truck! Was able to get a camper shell that had all the windows blown out of it, with no rear opening. I was working at a body shop at the time was able to do all the work on it there, it was one of my perks! The other body man and I were life long friends with the owner and his extended family, we were all like minded people! And all part of the extended family it was a great situation! I ended having to get a new big block , long block crate engine from our Chevy Jobber, dealership that we purchased all our parts through back in the day which was around 1980, it cost me $2,400.00 . About a year previous it needed a new trans so it was all pretty fresh! Had it for years till I pretty near wore out! We also was able to purchase a used 19 ft travel trailer that we were able to fix up! Wore that out ! We all started an off road club called So-Cal off road , we had a blast raising three daughters it was about the time when Honda had come out with the three wheelers , then the quads we wore everything out! Lots of maintenance but a great time a lot of kids don’t know what they are missing today stuck in the house with virtual game playing so I enjoy watching you work on these vehicles and doing it with your family! It’s a good thing for Fellers and Fellet’s to do with their family’s! Keep up the good work ! Regards From a retired ol wrencher, Mad Mike S.

Not too shabby! FYI. Its a 'SLIVER -A-Doh' Dad had a 79 Surban with a 454 double, to haul our Prowler, hump back. Good time back then. Love to see some stickers on one of them, like what you slapped on your Brother`s truck. The shine is brighter than the chrome on Betty Davis`s cane, casket, I don`t know...I can`t remeber ...

"It's like watching David Hasselhoff run down the beach. You know you're not supposed to look but there's just somethin' about it" 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t help but get the peepers back on some older content 😊 it just keeps gettin betterer. Given me way more confidence doing the project my son and I are doing. I just dig in now and it’ll be fine…… nope 😂

Wow the nicest 80 I've seen. Great job on it. Gotta keep her Derek. I have a 97 just as nice, 75K actual miles custom paint leather bucket seats & interior 5.7

I Use Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) On My Interior Plastic And Vinyl. It Rubs Dry, And Removes Dirt And Oil At The Same Time. I Have Been Able To Turn Dry Grey Interior, And Door Cards Back To Shiny Black In Just A Couple Coats. I Put A Piece Of Cardboard 6" High Next To The Glass And It Keeps Vaseline Off The Glass. And You Don't Want That. Thank You Brother For All That You Do. As Well As Jessica And The Boys. Good Job Guys

I saw part one of this video and i really like how you cleaned up this nice truck your buddy ben Brown frome Cincinnati Ohio
