Will It RUN And DRIVE 800 Miles To Mount Rushmore? Ford F250 Abandoned for 20 years!

You are a national treasure.

There's a reason VGG has 1.6 m subscribers. He has not slacked off of trying to top HIMSELF over and over. Bless you and Jessica and the children. You restore my faith in the youth of America.

This is in so many ways unimaginable to do here in Germany, I would love to visit the US to go on such an adventure trip. And if I learnt something from your videos, it's to plan your route along O'Reilly stores.

Just finished watching this episode. Just blends everything that’s important to me. Autos, archaeological finds, and road trips mixed with just a hint of sarcasm. To take that rig to Mount Rushmore takes “courage”. Will be watching many more. Thanks for the adventure.

Derek is one of the few people in the world who could make a fella spontaneously see a YouTube video as long as the average movie and say "Yep, Watching it."

This two hour blockbuster is better than 99% of the garbage that's come out of Hollywood in the last ten years. Tinseltown has completely lost the ability to bring the thunder....but Derek hasn't. Another episode that completely kicks ass. Thanks brother!

I love the trouble shooting and constant problem solving involved in riding with Derek! Thanks for the adventure!

Those two spent fuel filters - unbelievable! VGG is such a practical and enjoyable classroom of tips and ideas.

2 hours with Derek, Wow!! What did we do that deserve this? 😂

I dont know how but I enjoy watching these 1.5 -2h long revival videos without skipping a beat despite never being able to watch a regular movie in one sitting. You've got some incredible skill in telling a story on these rigs that just keeps a guy entertained the whole way through. Thank you!

This guy is a great mechanic, and his terminology is GENUIS!!

Back in June, i flew from my home in Alaska to Denver to pick up a 1973 f250 that had been sitting for at least 10 years and drive it back to Alaska. 2,408 Miles!! All original 390 with c6 automatic tranny. I broke down in Utah, Portland OR, Hope BC and in the middle of nowhere in BC Canada, but it made it home! Oh, and I picked up a 20 ft car hauler trailer in Portland, loaded it with about 7,000 LBs and towed it the rest of the way. After I pulled it in my driveway and parked the trailer, it wouldn't start again until i replaced the starter and adjusted the points and timing.Was an awesome trip with my brother. Learned alot and had tons of fun. it was actually on this trip someone told me about your channel. Great stuff, by the way. You learn more broke down on the side of the highway than you would in a shop for sure!! Im 24 years old and i love the challenge of old vehicles!!

You're like the Bob Ross of fixing old trucks. Seriously, watching you work is therapeutic.

Is it me or do these videos keep getting better and better?? Im so glad i subscribed years ago. Seeing these old units go on one more adventure especially with Derek is something special.

Wow what a journey! Thanks for putting a smile on my face in very difficult times for my family. I actually got to smile for the 2 hour video which was amazing from start to finish. Thanks for taking us along.

Dad had a 1972 Ford F100 short bed back in the '80s as his vehicle, it became mine when I got my license in 1989 put many miles on it. Brings back good memories. It has been setting 30 years, I keep thinking about restoring it.

The joy I feel every time I see that a new VGG episode has dropped cannot be understated.

My favorite part is Derek describing the interior smell, quite unique every episode.

I have taken the long trip, and stopping at every town along the way really sucks. And in some towns the local cop is watching inbound traffic really hard. So I used to just take the interstate. Keep these videos coming, I love watching them.

Working on restoring an 88 250 with the 351w for my son when he grows up. Gunna be the scoot around truck until its his. Youve helped me alot throughout the years. But the help, laughs, and reminders i got from this video are timeless Derek. From one family to another. God bless.
