I absolutely love how Motortrend pulled Roadkill off youtube and tried to force people to pay for their terrible service, then you come along and scoop up 50% of their viewers by providing similar content for free. Hat's off to you, Derek!

Awesome. R.I.P. Grandpa Bieri, I hope you're proud of your grandson, because a lot of us are.

Now this is an episode like no other. Pulling at a fella's heart spark-alater strings. Bring the Thunder in memory of Grandpa. Well done!

The ending brought a tear to my eye, im sure your grandpa was so proud of the man you turned into and the success you found. I use to take for granted all the things my grandpa done for me, i miss them both so much. What i would do for one more talk with my grandpas and uncle.

His brother talks. It's a miracle!!!!

It was just saving that eighth cylinder for a special occasion. That closing scene with it moseying through the tall glass was Oscar worthy.

I'm a Texan and an old Ford guy, but there's something just right about an old Chevy truck on a farm still willing to work. Anyone who doesn't think old vehicles have souls just hasn't driven one. That's what you're doing here, Derek: resurrections. Saving a soul for another day. Makes me feel good. Thank you.

Memories! In 1979 at the age of 16, I took my first driving test at the DMV in my dad’s 1970 Chevy C50 grain truck. 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. I miss that truck.

A guy got a little lump in his throat when he heard, "Last load of hay...". RIP , Mr. Bieri.

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.

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 KZfaq.

I have zero doubt that gramps is looking down and smiling. Watching you teach your boys is amazing and the way they already know their way around the tools and rigs is a huge testament to the teachers.

The smartest cowboy rides in the middle because he doesn't have to drive or get out to open & close the gate.

“We had a team meeting and realigned on what ‘ease’ means” Hahahahaha

What a beautiful place your family has. Looks like gold toned paradise. My Grampa passed away when I was 11 years old... in 1996 actually.... and it nearly destroyed my Dad. First time I had ever seen him cry. Gramps knew a lot, fixed a lot, and laughed a lot. I wish I could have spent more time with him, fixing old junk together. Listening to his stories. Guzzling coffee. He was a Chevy truck guy too, so that's approved. I really miss him. This video is a great family video and fitting tribute to your Grampa and that beautiful parcel of land. Thanks for giving us a look and getting that old rig going again.

Thank you for keeping America fueled. God bless all the farmers of America.

It's kind of a shame to see the ole girl dumped back in the weeds after seeing it run so well. Maybe you could put some bench seats on the back and use it to haul all of the kids around the farm during family reunions and get-togethers. RIP Grandpa Bieri

Derek: "...theres brakes!" Chris: "thats new." Made a feller spit his morning hot snack

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!

First I see Derek do his thang, like he always do. This always make me smile. Towards the end I see three kids goof around in grandpa’s ol truck. This made me chuckle. Then the end just makes a turn you never saw coming, to a whole new level and I just teared up! You’re a special guy there Derek! Keep up the good work keeping it real

Grandpa Alan definitely smiled again seeing his three boys pile in his old truck one more time. What a beautiful farm. It was a very nice tribute to your grandpa Derek. Thank you for sharing with us.

I'm a licensed mechanic and I think I've learned more from watching three hundred and.... seventy-nine of these videos than I did in my 4 years of school.

Thanks Derek. This one brought tears to my eyes, as I remembered my Grandpa, sitting on his lap and steering his old Allis-Chalmers with my little 5-year old hands while he worked the pedals. That was almost 50 years ago. He passed away 2 years later, and this video brought a lot of great memories back. I love seeing you and your family do things like this. Please keep posting content just like this, it’s good to remember those who have gone before us, and helped shape and make who we are.

As soon as you three fellers started diving, it was like seeing three young boys having a field day all over again, and that is a rare occurring feeling. Thank you Derek for giving it a fitting retirement.

I mean this in the best way possible this was a family home video that we all were lucky enough to watch....

Best tribute to your Grandpa. Far too many kids nowadays don't know what they are missing from Grandpa teaching. RIP Mr Bieri

I kept my grandpas old truck going till the frame gave up. I miss him and that old truck. I enjoyed this alot.

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

The production value has really gone up; it's like a Discovery Channel show, but with actual good content

6 words....big engine, freedom factory, independence flatbed.

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!

Leave it to something on KZfaq 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 feller got something in his eyes right at the end there. A grandpa is something special. I loved the tribute at the ending.

Miss my Grandpa. He was the first pilot to complete 25 bombing raids in one bomber during world war 2. He was such a humble man. Charles Cliburn

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Fun to have family shenanigans in loving memory. Since you recorded it, the memory will live forever!

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

A guy's wife might've been cutting the onions there at the end of that tribute. Well done Mr. Bieri

349.000 people have watched this in 24 hours...that is amazing. Derek you made a lot of people smile today. Well done.

Loved the eulogy for your grandpop at the end Derek. NOW...... You just HAVE to get the old Ford grain truck living again in his memory 👍👍 Great video as always.

We attended SEMA in 2017 and saw a 1972 Chevy C50 Turbo Diesel, Highlander called "The Duke". An Amazing Resto Mod with a Custom Extended Cab and Dump Bed! Painted in a Beautiful Chevy 2 tone White and Yellowish? I never knew what Model they used to do that build?? Until seeing the Video on your Grandpas' C50! Thanks so Much!!

Nice tribute to your Grandpa. They were a generation of hard working, God and country men.....something we need to pass to our youngns

You hit a fella in the feels with that ending. Rest in peace to your grandpa.

Damm this sure made me smile I love how this old girl went back to work and good old memories

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 .

Your grandpas grain truck is AWESOME! Get your brother's together to revive that one.

R.I.P. Grandpa Alan Bieri. You did good in raising up a hearty family and caretaking the good earth and people you loved.

This hits a fella in the feelalator. I know I'm late to the party and I just found this. I learned to drive a manual in Ford F500 dump truck with a dual speed axle that belonged to my grandpa. A fella understands how a fella feels sometimes. I'd love to haul one more load of gravel for the old man.

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.

Dang it, a guy was just going to bed! Guess he'll be awake for another 38 minutes now...

Dang it! Must have backed the old truck over an onion patch during the remembrance of your grandfather. . *wipes eyes*

The last load. Hallelujah! Gramps was laughing, so we're we! Bet that truck misses Gramps, but it had a great day! Thanks fellas! 🇬🇧

Please don’t stop rescuing old cars you find snd driving them home. We love that! The Buick boat tail was the best!!

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.

Dang it if a guy did not tear up at the end. We love our grandpas!!!

And, what a touching memorial of Granddad, the farmer. My parents are farmers, so thank you for that :-)

Wow, This video brought a tear to my eye at the end when the short tribute to Grandpa Alan Bieri came on. I too was a farm kid up here in Canada. We also had the farm "junk yard" full of retired and smashed up trucks and equipment. When I was a little guy, I was obsessed with getting the old trucks running and driving again. This really brought back memories for me, Thank you Derek. On a side note, You absolutely need to bring one of these trucks to rusty acres in Tennessee, not an option! Maybe restore that amazing old Ford, or turn that Chev into a tilt and load car hauler equipped with a roots blown big block, Eaton Fuller 18spd (because shifting) and super singles on the rear.!! Love the channel, keep up the great work sir.

30 years from now you'll be able to say "she ran when we parked her" and she'll start right up! Really fun video, you guys crack me up, thank you.

"There's nothing there, worse than the state of Wyoming." I almost spit up my swig of cold snacks.

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

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!!

Ah, Regular Derek and Large Derek, working together again. 👌

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

I smiled throughout, laughed like hell when you fixed the tire with fix-a-flat, and was a bit sad at the end. If you're not a celebrity or billionaire, all that's left after you pass is the memories your family and friends have. Grandpa is well remembered, and loved. I can tell.

I love how you couldn’t see anything driving but the guy in the middle seat had sunglasses and didn’t offer them to you 😎 while sun is blazing your eyes priceless

What a great family, nice to hear your brother talk a bit on this video to. RIP to your Grandpa Derek, farming families are the backbone of every country on the planet.

It's nice to hear you genuinely laughing with your brother

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.

First time watching this and you put the onions to me. I miss my Dad. Your grandpa and my father can't be replaced. They don't make them like that anymore.

The only channel I don’t skip the adds so that the creator gets maximum funding.! 😎👍

NOW THAT WAS THE MOST I HAVE HEARD YOUR BROTHER TALK... LMAOO

Hi Derek! Loved the video on the old Chevy C50 family farm truck, would really love to see you do something with Grandpa’s green Ford parked in front of it!!! You truly inspire all who watch!!!

Derek, one of my favorite videos! I grew up on a farm just south of Fargo / Moorhead where you have family living and about 300 miles east of Stanley, ND. We have a few tractors, cars and one of our grain trucks left '60 Ford. My son and I will be working on our '70 Oldsmobile 98 LS this coming Summer because of you. If you're up in the area, your welcome to come turn a wrench and let your boys run with my 11 year old out on our farm of about 600 acres. So sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandpa. I read his obituary and it looks like he was quite the fella. Beautiful Catholic Mass on KZfaq of his funeral. May he rest peacefully enjoying his eternal rest in Heaven. RDE

I can imagine the 3 of you grinning from ear to ear in the cab of that thing 30 years ago as well. Your grandpa would be proud.

I've just found this channel nd watched about 10 episodes. This guy Derek has one of the most entertaining car shows I have ERER seen. How you don't have a TV show I don't know but I love to see you have a big audience because you deserve it!

I learned to drive on the exact same type of truck. It was my Grandfather's and he had it special built from Chevy with the biggest engine offered and a special 16 speed transmission. He was a stonemason and used it to haul stone piled way over the top of the truck.

You had a great childhood too! That must be why your so cool. You worked for everything you have and I believe you are a fella who values tradition.👍

Grandpa Bieri's character shines through his grandsons, hardworking, clever, no nonsense, happy and proud, a testament to him and his values, no doubt about that 👌

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.

Your Grandpa was with you that day and probably sorted the brakes for you. What a great way to remember him. 😎

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!

The ending just makes a guy tear up.

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

The 3 family members hauling the hay, one last time makes me think of three 10 year olds, taking dad's truck out for a spin. It's hiilarious.

I've watched this episode I don't even know how many times... Last scene gets in the feels every single time!

Worth it. It would be an honor for most of us to watch you restore it in honor of your Grandpa.

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

I have my grandfather's 69 gmc that's where a fella keeps ALLL the memories

I love the color orange on that truck, its my favorite color 😊👍

No other feller had a bigger influence on me than my Grandpa Ray. Been gone to long ... RIP to all those Grandpa's

She doesn’t want to retire. Keep her workin!

please keep her running as long as you can. idk why i care about it but it really reminds me of an old ford my grandpa had. just keep it going. its worth it.

But, you know, Derek, you already know what we will be waiting for. I mean, you walked by it! That FORD truck! When is that coming out?

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

The weather is changing for the better. Time for more frequent VGG uploads!

Nice way to send memories, a guy just wired an fired the machine he learned in 20yrs ago. Aint that something to say fired up grandads rig an brought it to test in the right place. What a way 👏

Well, the end tribute was unexpected. Today being January 8th and the 24th anniversary of my dad dying. He wasn't a farmer, but I know he would have definitely enjoyed your content as much as I do. I miss him every day and he was and still is my Hero.

That ending really hit a guy. Im glad you share family stories. They make all of us feel like weve known you all our lives.

Those last 30 seconds Derek Priceless Man thank you for those “ feels”

That is so cool you guys bringing the old girl back to life and having a good time. Very cool
