FORGOTTEN Square Body Chevy will it RUN AND DRIVE after years?

I would like to thank you for being so verbal on your channel….my husband has been a mechanic since he was 13. He lost his sight in a chemical accident at the age of 34. He still worked on vehicles, even though it took him longer to accomplish some tasks. He is now 79 and slowing down a bit. He really enjoys your videos and often talks to you on the screen telling you what you need to do to fix the issue. And then you follow his advice!! It’s truly funny to watch and listen to the two of you!!! Lol! Thanks for all you do!!

Yes, I want to see the engine swap. That looks like something that could help the new guys getting into fixing trucks.

Derek, probably the best explanation for Joe Everyday on how to diagnose timing and tune a carburetor by ear. I learned this 60 years ago from my father on my first car, a 1941 Plymouth Business Coupe (I kick myself twice a day that I no longer have it). Great show, great channel, you, Jess and the boys are what 'Merica is all about. Thanks.

Dude, you never cease to amaze me. As a blind person watching automotive videos, just the sound of that old truck made me smile. So glad you could get it back up and running. Keep the great videos coming. Good to see more classics on the road and being used

The combination of Derek being silly and the video editing makes these so much fun to watch. Laughter is the best way to brighten our days.

I’ll tell you what, a guy’s real happy he’s got a new VGG episode to watch to kick off the weekend! You’re the man Derek!!

Two things I note: 1. I'm deeply envious of the Short Square Bodies you keep picking up. 2. Watching you wrench on them is the closest I'll ever get in Britain to any kind of spannering on these gorgeous old rigs and I'm very grateful for your vijyas for letting a feller hook his peepers on the process!

I remember when I was a young kid my dad would work on the car, and when he did I was always there with him watching and learning about engines. It brings back good memories when I see Bently out there with you too. These are the times no one will ever be able to take from him when he gets older.

Please don’t change from this original format,… You taking us on an adventure is what we love.

A older fella here in town (Gothenburg, Sweden) drives this bodystyle, every day, rain or shine. I'm not sure if it's a GMC or a Chevy but it's got the longer bed. Now some of you that read this would think that this is nothing special because you live in the US of A. But imagine that you live in a country where gas is double of what it is in 'merica and that most people are driving VW ID4, Tesla or some other electrical car, this older guy is a legend in my book. I don't know what he does for a living besides being awesome but I bet he hasn't given a flying you know what in the last 30 years about what anyone thinks. He's just a legend. Oh yeah it's got a louder exhaust as well so incase you don't see him, you will definitely damn sure hear him!

Derek is a Life mentor: it might be broken now in the morning but with a little faith and diligence, it will be all right and running by the end of the day...

Derek had me on the floor when he started rapping the REGULATORS song. Omg 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely a fan of the crossover content with Cleetus and all, but getting back to what originally drew me to your channel is always welcomed. Love it all so much.

Thank you and your family for consistently giving us the highest-quality entertainment over the years. You guys ROCK! No one else quite like you Derek and I’m not sure there ever will be.

I'm really digging that 1965 Chevy C10 hanging out right next door! You should pick that guy up too!

Teaching the importance of fixing and reusing... tired of the throw away mentality, these videos are so amazing! Thanks for all you do! That truck is amazing, want one like that someday!

“We also got a dragging brake, so we better just take it easy”- Derek seconds before flooring it

When he cranks the motor and it cuts to him looking left/right/left/right was gold! 🤣

You folks are a beacon of light and hope. I remember going to work with the old man at that age during the summers. He was also a self made man who worked hard. Wrenching all hours. Travel. Snacks. Some of my fondest memories. Lessons I apply still today. Thank you sincerely

70s models short and wide is my dream truck always has been. I've finally found one for 1500 that's complete but a restoration project. Tryna sell my cars so I can get it to make memories with my 5yo daughter. Fingers crossed. I love your videos. Keep it up. Hope to be there one day. EDIT: Coming back across this vid and my own comment. update! I've got my chevy. It's not a shorty but it's an 83 Silverado 1500 I picked up for 800. minus an engine it's all there and straight. Only 2 small cash bill sized spots I could patch with a lunchbox (just humor. I'd never use a lunchbox lol) but here we are, and the story begins. I should start a YouTube channel for the rebuild so she can watch the process when she's grown. Also, I love those roads around there. It's hard to find good winding canopied roads like that.
