Josh I gotta say that I love watching your family! I came from a broken home and Its refreshing to see people doing things the right way! your kids are adorable and your wife loves you good job man!
Couldn't agree more !
Amen brother
Don't dwell in the past, friend. The best is yet to come.
@@ElCid48 2 steps forward and 3 steps back is how things go for me. i know it sounds chilche but i really do get royally fucked on a regular basis like im cursed or something. yes people do have it worse but i always have to learn thing the hard way. i hope that things do get better cuz i don’t wanna see anyone suffer!
@@mromatic17 I know where you’re coming from dude.
Love how all the family works together you guys are an awesome family
Do more old trucks!!!! They are my favorite. The first truck I remember was my dad's GMC. We were poor so it was probably late 50s, early 60s. GMC. I was born in 64 so those curved fenders and that heavy grill were a thing. I want to restore one but for now, I live vicariously through you. Thanks so much for what you do!
I can't even imagine the hours you put into editing all of your footage to make videos for us to enjoy but I can say as a viewer, you guys do a fantastic job with the style you have created! I love the down-to-earth typical American family sharing time together with love, struggles, comedy, failures and successes! THANK YOU! 🇺🇸❤️👍
Thank you it’s a ton of work behind the scenes
Engine looks solid. Don't see any blow by at all. Amazing oil pressure. Only 59k miles seems about right. This truck is a jewel. Wish it was yours.
My gramps used to have an old Ford pickup and I still remember riding with him in it. Best memories of my life was the time I spent with him.
Kids will remember that day of the many times dad has been caught on camera for being a wonderful father and looks to have a happy wife so great husband as well thanks for taking us along with you on your journey through life I can see Ralphie growing up through your videos
Thank you
Yay Wawa!!! I have to imagine she's at an age all her friends are like "OMG how lame is it spending time with your parents!! Get on yer phone and let's talk boys..." yet she is a truly dedicated kid to her family and her cool father. She did such a good job driving that stick without stalling I bet she will he a great driver. Maybe you can train her to be a drag race driver and wrencher like Alex Taylor!!
I miss working on old cars trucks my dad always built hot rods old Chevys Chevy 2's 63 + 62 and myself I had to 70 novas+ I had a 64 hardtop Nova all of them were two doors I enjoy you and your kids react with each other it is cool that they like to work on Old vehicles restore old vehicles then when I was a kid I like doing that to that's where I learned working on Old vehicles keep showing more videos of doing that I like watching your videos ✋😎🙏😇💞💯🏁
Pretty cool when your kids learn how to drive a manual vehicle even most adults and kids nowadays do not even know how to do a manual vehicle my dad was growing up on a farm in Coquille Oregon that's how he started on the farm equipment old cars and turn them into hot rods then that's how I stir to learn how to do stuff the real joy to fix up old automobiles I love you guys for everything you guys do 🙏👍😇😎✋🏁 Lol🍿🍿
I want to ask you guys where do you guys get the glass bottles of the RC cola 🥤 they haven't seen glass bottles in ages let me know where you could get those glass bottles with the RC cola 🥤✅👀 I live in Roseburg Oregon cool to see you drinking RC cola have a glass bottle I like to know where you guys get your glass bottles at comment back thank you I love you guys for the videos and your whole entire family the gentleman and a scholar 🤙✋👍,🙏😇😎💞
I can say with total honesty that I've been in a home that took a direct hit from a tornado. It's not an adrenaline rush I would recommend. Was about 8 feet away from being crushed by a gigantic tree that fell through my dad's room and actually pushed his bed through the floor. If the house wasn't raised on one end to be level on a hill, I'd be a goner right now
Doesn't surprise me....Jebidiah. ..
Awesome work that truck is amazing.
Hello Josh how are you and your family doing today God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ Amen God love you
I'm glad that you and your kids do all this work together and bring all those jewels back to life
Thank you
Let's not forget Tosh being main camera person and all round assistant to Sleeperdude
She definitely needs more recognition and her own T-shirt range ❤
It would be so cool to have that for a daily driver! I do love seeing all the old nasty parts come off and new go on! Great job family!!💕
Yes it’s awesome thank you
@@Sleeperdude I work on tractor and old car and truck cleaning gas tank power washer gas tank clean it really well you will never have any more problem when you power washer gas tank it will make it new inside
@@Sleeperdude i assume you were not the one messaging me to contact you on telegram.if so i apologize for what i said.but it seems very un legit?
@@crownfam882 I got the same thing and yeah, it's a scam. I wrote to the e-mail address listed on his FB page. Hopefully there is something he can do to stop this, comforting to know I'm not alone.
That looks like the one my grandpa gave away, said it had a stuck clutch, as the new owners towed it home the clutch came unstuck and with some new gas they got it fired right up
I love old trucks! Anything from the 50's, 60's, and 70's! Pretty much love all the cars from those era's too!
Love the video... thanks for taking us along for the 1st drive!
That truck is sweet. Kids will be driving like champions when they get older and take their driving tests. Always fun watching you and your family.👍🇺🇸
You know you're doing it right when the whole family starts to diagnose an issue when it happens . Problem solving like that is a life skill that will benefit them in alot of situations. 👍
Thank you
Great job, first time watching the "premiere", I think maybe you got to create a rule, no test drive without tools.
Keep up the great work, and thankyou for greasing the bearings and joints...^^
Love that truck. The owner better be excited when you deliver it. Thank you for the fun, lessons, and sharing. Wawa needs a project of her own..she'll be driving in a few years.
I’ve only fairly recently come across your channel and it’s very enjoyable, great how the whole family get involved. Oh and the animals, love from the UK.
Thank you
“House trained snapping turtle” had me laughing
I’m glad you liked it, my buddy Cory used to say that.
Love seeing the old Ford come to life, and that glass float bowl is perfect. Everything was doing fine up to the sardines in the can (just awful) LOL!
Absolutely love your family and videos! Keep up the great work!
Sunday was Funday on the Sleeper dude channel. That was alot of fun. Thanks for taking me along on the test drive. We made home, WOO!
Rocky is kind of annoying sometimes. Just like a real family member. We all have at least one. Great video , love how the family works together!
You guys make me laugh and smile more than just about anything else on Y/T...~applause~ on another awesome vid, keep cranking them out! T/Y
Awesome video of bringing back a survivor truck...like you I truly enjoy the ole trucks...seeing this one brought back memories of going fishing with my uncle Charles in his old International truck with the Jon boat bouncing around in back. Thanks again for great content and appreciate you sharing this genuine old truck.😁🇺🇸👍
Our family LOVES your channel! I’m the only car “nut” but they love to watch too! You constantly put out content unlike others! Great editing on this episode!! Short, sweet but still about an hour long which we like. Great to have a “family” show to watch! Keep up the great work!
My dad had one of those he bought new in '52, He used to sell vegetables grown on his family farm in Kingston Massachusetts after WW2 . He built a box in the bed to hold what he was selling. I have a picture of my mother who he married in 1950 next to the truck long before I was born. He maintained the farm until the house and land was sold in 1967 after my grandmother died. I still remember the old truck and the big '50 Plymouth parked in the barn. Good memories.
Hey Ralphy I have a couple Buc- ee’s shirts, cups! I like them! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL! Love to watch!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎😎🏆
Got to tell you that your family is awesome helping you with these projects!!! WAWAA you remind me of the gals that helped me wash and fix my flips. Barefootin and cute as a button. I miss the 60’s . When my car would die their joke would be, “want s tow?” I’d say yes and they’d show their toes saying, take your pick. Well in the 60’s it was funny!!! 😂😅🤣👍👍
That’s great
I love y’all! I found ur channel by accident couple months ago! I’m not interested in cars at all before until I see you & family helping u ! Tonight I really loved the truck I was born in 1958 so that’s like 100 yrs.ago an I just find it really interesting!! Keep up the good content!
Brings new meaning to
"Give it some stick!".
Well done you lot ❤
Thank you
suggestion when you change the oil in your daily driver save it and use that in these builds because you know it wont be in their long then on the next change use the fresh
I do this, infact my uncle has a wrecking yard and i rigged up a lifestraw to a hose and click clack pump and car battery. I pump the gas out of the tanks and put in in barrels! I have 6 55 gallon barrels of free gas that as long as it isnt too bad put into my 1994 f150 4x4 and it works great!
Great episode. Love the truck.
Well done guys 👍🏻
A classic back on the road
Thank you
Your kids are so lucky to have you guys as their parents! Actually spending time raising your children...what a concept! Great to see!
FYI: they have a gas tank sealer for old rusty gas tanks.
Use a bag of marbles and some simple green. Rinse tank out and let it dry. Pour the tank sealer in and swish it and move it around to coat the inside! Like new!!
Ok thanks
The way to start and end the videos is already your Registered Trademark ✨
Hello from north tx. Love you all. Best channel on untube. Reminded me of our family. We raised three boys in the seventies. We were always working on motorcycles,three wheelers, dune buggies, they had there hands in grease from the time they could walk. I grew up working on model a’s I was a heavy duty diesel mechanic for 43 years. 71 now. Keep doing what your doing. Y’all are the best. Wife loves y’all to we been married 52 great years. :-)
That’s awesome thank you
If you only knew how much watching y’all reminds me of my childhood and life, I love y’all lol God bless
Thank you I’m glad you like it
MY NEW FAVORITE FAMILY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome thank you
Josh..your videos are the highlight of our Sunday afternoon. My Dad had the exact same truck on our tobacco farm in NC.
Nice for Wawa to see all the intricacies of car repair at her age!
Absolutely wonderful! Tell Ralphie to hold that clutch steady as soon as he feels it move.
I love that the kids are learning to drive a old 3 on the tree with no power assist any thing. great video and so clean and family oriented
Yes for sure thank you
Got to tell you that this truck is awesome. Nice job guys. Love the sound!!! Yes needs original mirrors!!!
Josh, I think you are the first one I have ever seen using a brake spring the way it was intended, and I am betting that is not the last time you give the flaring tool lessons.
Headlight Crocs!! 🤣🤣🤣 Well, I guess your feet have to see where they're going. Great work on the truck! 👍👍 Drives and stops really good! The owner will be more than excited about it! Thanks for sharing guys!
Nice to see the family gets involved with old fashioned car repairs
Some of my best memories are of my girls sitting on my lap and steering up or down the driveway. Then when they could finally reach the pedals and drive me to the mailbox or whatever it was special. It don't take much for us country folk. Love your interaction with your kids. Hope it isn't just for the camera. I've got a feeling it is off camera as well. Keep it up. 👍
Yes thank you
What an awesome video!!!! You guys are my absolute favorite channel on RUclips. I had a '55 Ford F-100. My very first vehicle. I put a 430 Lincoln in it. You wanna talk about torquey!!!! It would do burn-outs for days, Ralphie!!!!
Great job Josh, with your families help I am sure you will make the truck owner and family very pleased!
This is turning into my new favorite channel....Love it
We hope so and glad you are doing well. Have a great evening and week upcoming.
Dag Nabit! I Caught the last last 4 mins of this. You are one blessed family? 🙏 I found your channel while in the Hospital having my leg amputation 5 weeks ago. I love that your whole family gets in there in some way working together. Praise God there are Families like yours. I’m a Believer and Viewer for life! Can’t wait for the next video. Dean.
Hope all goes well with your recovery.
Thx brother. Being 61, it’s going to be long than I thought. God’s got my back. Thx
Thanks .. hope you get feeling better soon
Thank you Brother. DO you want to wire up my boat? 🙂I was ready to install Entire new harnesses when the leg issue popped up. Bless the whole Family.
Wawa deserves a big credit on this video content and salute that every member of this family help one another
🇵🇭
For sure
We love seeing the whole family and critters involved. I think that silky chicken has been digging on Ralphies new hair style and is trying to copy him, that bird is a copycat. Lol, keep up the great entertainment we love both channels❤👍
Another great video. That truck is awesome!
Thank you
Hello fam, love this truck. I think Rocky is a rockstar 😜🤣
My favorite RUclips Family!!! Y’all are the best!!
Love your family!! love how you get these older classics running!
That's something the kids will never forget
Loved this video! Not only was great seeing you fix that sweet little truck. But you had me chuckling the whole time.😁 You guys are funny and entertaining. Keep up the good work!! 👍🏼❤️😊
Thank you
This is a great old truck. You do wonders to these old vehicles.
I cannot believe how great shape the body is on that truck,,love it and I'd never paint it,its earned it patina!
Yall Rock as a family. Awesome channel and love it until the end. Really enjoy Rocky and the animals. In thought and prayers.
Almost a going to town rig! Love it guys!
Learning curve... Never leave home without at least a Leatherman. Never go more than a couple of miles from base doing shakedown runs. And wear proper shoes in case you end up walking home. Here endeth the lesson... Love that truck, reminds me of half the old black & white American movies that I grew up with. Great fun, folks. 👍
I've learnt heapsabout car repairs from watching sleeperdude family,your sardines spot is an instant classic, fondest regards from Australia 🦘
I’m glad we have helped
Thanks Josh , just checked my rear end and everything is A O K 👍🏻, great advice 😁.
But, is it clean?
@@unclerick4569 Spotlessly clean , no rust and well LUBED 😉👍🏻
Awesome content what a wonderful
Old truck. Well done Josh and team!
Thank you
Family, love,fun,old trucks and Rocky eating everything in sight
Perfect Sleeperdude content right there ❤❤
Josh thank you for sharing your family with us, just love them goats how they just go every where so much fun. You do a great job of fixing them old auto. So much fun watching your family drive them..
Hey guys from a Middle Tennessean. You guys are greeat. Love all the family videos.
Love the truck. Great job getting it back home after the breakdown.
Brings back memories. Had a 45 Ford in high school, lots of break downs.
What a gem! I was really starting to wonder if that OHV L6 was actually the original engine until I looked it up. As it turns out, 1952 was the first year for the OHV 6, but the V8's were still the 239 flathead. Surprisingly, the OHV 6 had exactly 1 more horsepower and a few extra ft.-lbs. of torque than the V8! Go figure... It would probably be a plan to pull that tank back out and drill the sending unit plate out for a top mounted draw tube to alleviate the clogging issues, and just plug that bottom fitting. They are a constant source of fuel issues on those old Ferds! My grandfather had 2 of them, a '47 dump truck, and a '51 pickup with a flathead V8, and he had to convert both of them, since neither one would run more than 30 minutes without plugging the fuel line.😛
Yeah I was wondering to until I researched it
How great are those manual tire changers ? When i started working in the tire buisness in 1978 the shop had one over in a corner , i started using it on mine and friend's Cragers and ET mags and never broke out a center unlike how the old center post machine do . I got one of those at Harbour Frieght and also one for lawn mower wheels , well worth the money !!
I hope them people who own that truck appreciate all what you're doing for him LOL
😊
I've changed hundreds of casings on my hobo freight casing changer. I've had buddies that had an air powered changer and there always broken. Good old manual changer never fails.
Yeah it’s seems to be pretty good for $40.
Nothing like fixing something with just what you have on hand !! Some people might not agree but it is fun !!
Great video Josh! What a cool truck, it's a true survivor.
Yes for sure thank you
Josh the camera work and the coms are great the editing shows the amount of time your taking to do it also the content has improved greatly keep it up man you’ll hit 200k in no time
Absolutely!!
His editing is getting really good Different camera angles. These guys are great American people.
Thank You For Giving your Kids an Incredible Education.. They will Pass It On.. Your a Damn Good Man..
I'm voting for you as one of the coolest Dads in the world. God bless.
What a nice truck! Also nice set of skills MacGyver!
Thank you
Exelente trabajo en darle vida al pickup Ford clásico exitos y saludos a tu linda familia dé Lima Perú 🇵🇪👍
Thank you
You and your family remind me of my childhood--I loved hanging around the garage and watching my Dad work on cars and trucks, especially old Fords and Chevys. Blessings to you and yours, and keep restoring these American classics!
Thank you
This reminds me of cutting wood back in my 20's, wife and i cut in a drizzle to point we couldn't and when we went to go it clicked once and then nothing, turned out the contact between the solinoid and starter was missing on a chevy squarebody,, i rummaged around truck and found a broken hacksaw blade a 22 mag bullet and a drywall screw, cut the end off the bullet after pullin lead/powder ofcourse and used the brass to replace the copper tube that was missing and used the screw to jam/wedge it back together,, and it saved the day, was sleeting and near dark, i had to use a lighter to see my fingers move cuz i couldn't feel what i was doing,, anyway,, love ur abilities including ur editing and ur sense of humor u and family have, keep doin what ur doin ✌❤
Josh I have a question for you.
Do you ever get mad while working on a car?
I just watch your videos and I don’t want them to finish, keep it going sir.
I get discouraged and frustrated but not terribly mad
Awesome attitude
i can say that the mechanics while interesting, are mixed with family and that sir is a winning combination!.... I think the pig drinking soda and the Vienna sausage eating goat at the end is the icing on the cake, i think your videos are cool in that you show regular life and you don’t try to drag the video out for monetary gain, thanks!👍🏿
I look so forward to watching your videos, every time I jump on YT, I cant wait to sit down and watch a new one. Thanks to you and your family for making our days just a tad bit better.
Hello josh tosh and fam and rocky and viiaaannia
My health just took a turn for the worst. I was hit on my motorcycle in 2010 . And broke my neck. I've had 2 life saving surgerys since. And in 2019 was diagnosed with dual lung cancer. Throat cancer and have a thyroid. They told me I had 30 to 60 days to live. But I'm still here. But I've Ben badling hi blood pressure. For the last 30 days. 175 over 90 . And I'm on heart medication. But nothing is helping. My heart Doctor's just told me last Tuesday that I have about 30s left in life. But only God knows what . I'm a very positive person. All of the time. 24/7 .that's the way I live my life all the time. And always have. You and your family I have brightened my days with each and every video you have shared with me and everyone. I look forward to seeing you all every day I wake ⏰ up . Thank you and your family. That means the world 🌎 to me to see them. Hope you and have a amazing week. Your friend Motor Mike from Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Tip on how to remove the inside bearing and seal without damaging the seal.Remove the outer bearing and screw the nut back on then slide the rotor or drum off the spindle in a fast motion and that will remove the rear bearing
I do believe Ralph was right about fords Josh. Very shortly after he mentioned it, the truck died. Love the way your whole family does it all together. Awesome. Wawa, you good girl, keep driving.
Love how the kids are learning something useful to use during Zombie breakouts or other breakdowns 😂
I have to agree with Daniel below, your videos always get me smiling and laughing. Just great unscripted family, and vehicle content. Better than anything on TV. Great old truck the grill and Patina couldn't be any better. Great job with the kids driving and Wa Wa with the smooth clutch take off. Thank you for Sharing and God bless
Thanks for watching
Most of the time of have a hard day. But when I watch u and your family it completely ends my day with laughter and smiles 😂 Thank u for always brighten my day.
I’m so glad you enjoy it
Vse vas lepo pozdravljam in vaz gledamo iz slovenije
Such a beautiful truck. Glad its running again 👌🏻. Maybe you should put together a " first run/drive" kit, that you could just grab and go 🤙🏻💥
Yeah that would be good
