After getting our LS swapped International Metro postal van running in the last video, We are back to get it road legal and drive it for the first time. We have to wire up all the lights, make a dog house to cover our 6.0 engine, and install front seat belts. and get all the lights working so we can be road legal.Unfortunately our test drive did not go so well, let's find the problem.

The studs on the 9 incher pumkin require copper washers(Gasket) on them to prevent leaking.
Dude I'm just saying how old are you it be an good video if you guys made an story just like your 1 when you quit your job I watched it when it came out I just what to know how you did it no details just how you where able to do it
@@ezspina6590yep, and he needs the Shot Gun out to keep the Boys away from WAWA!….
Thanks to Ralphie at 40 years old I finally decided to pick up a welder and try my hand at it.
So cool
Welding is one of those things you learn by doing it!
I find it hilarious the pig comes in randomly and announces he's choosing violence today.
Exactly
Wawa will have it running in no time. You should be proud of the kids you taught so well. Breeding shows.
Yes, thanks
@@Sleeperdudesuch a bot response lol
Why would paint perfection?
@@jonhromeo6108duh... After such a comment
Ummm I don’t know if I’m the only one or I missed something but what exactly is meant by “Breeding shows.”????
Ralphy turning into a fabricator, while Wawa is becoming a decent mechanic. Then you have squeezy as your painter and Marge rolling film. Nice little team you have there mate, with them all working to their strengths
Thank you
❤❤
😂😂😂😂q😂 and@@Sleeperdude
When it comes to wireing that old rust bucket, (you r driving me nuts) clean all the rusty connections. Clean the battery connectors, replace ALL the light bulbs,then double check all the connections.
Damnit this video is driving me NUTS.
It was unfortunate that the seal got nicked. But you worked thru it and got it fixed! The good thing that got overshadowed was your new axles and seals worked perfect!
Yes thanks
That was almost an "Oops All Neutrals" moment.. Glad to see it running, sad to see it having troubles.
Yep!!!
I just got back from a 15 hour straight road trip and I’m ready for my favorite you tube family. Thanks y’all
Awesome thank you
Me too drove from school to chicago and back…sure glad to be back in civilization after that.
as a viewer of puddin's fab shop i was screaming bead roller when yall were figuring out how to stiffen up the dog house! turned out great love it yall are killin the game!
Thank you
Love this family! You have taught the children responsibility and to have pride in what they do. Thank you for sharing 👌 ❤😊
You are so kind
That thing would be so cool with a finished interior and roof air, as a retired rural mailman, I would love to had this on the route
Yea!!
Cowhide seat coverings!!!
Marge says You don't need no blinkers, she will just use the Marge Hand. That just killed me! She and the kids have such a great sense of humor. Ralphie playing the PIg Belly Drums was quite funny as well. Love this channel!
Thank you
Squeezin lemons
It's been a bad week. Made my day to see a new video in my notifications. Thank you!!
Glad to hear it!
My vote is for Squeeze and WawA giving this thing a custom paint job...
👍👍👍
I think Squeeze really does need to give a project a custom paint job
The Ford galaxie tailgate.. has been crying for some squeezy art
❤@@Sleeperdude
Amen to that
Saturday ritual. Keep up the good work and content. Best channel on the Tube!
Thank you
The old silicon prison shank!! Nice. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
We don't need no blinker. We can throw the Marge hand out the window took me out😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Josh don't feel bad or alone about the copyrighted thing, friend of mine got copyrighted on a song he had written and self performed. It took an 'act of congress' to straighten it out and when he called the group that claimed copyright they admitted they didn't actually own the copyright and he said the hint was for a payment to release the supposed copyright. Scammers abound in cyberspace.
It's just how it goes. Climb to the top of the hill and slide back. The trick is to get up and continue climbing.
For sure
Hey sleeperdude family! How bout letting Ralphie show off his welding skills by making a grill for the metro mite. I see a cool tubular grill. Love yall❤
Yeah maybe so
He could handle it for sure ..my brother and I once made a grill for dad's old square body from the cross bars from a dodge wagon roof rack...Karl from Canada
The metro looks so cool going down the road.
I think so too
That thing is so cool. Only thing it is missing is some baby moon poverty caps. Such a awesome build though. You'll get all the bugs worked out. It's to be expected on a new build. Great video as always guys. Much love from Peoria, IL.
Thank you
I love watching you and your family work on cars
Thanks 👍
I suggest that when your driving with the back door up , you need to block the door from moving . If you hit your brake hard it fly forward off the track, and hit every one
Ok thanks
@@Sleeperdude lots o darrens and karens on the internet lol
@homefreeacres1791 NOPE
Just people that care about their safety
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 its just funny you telling a grwon ass man,what you think he should do like an arm chair computer troll,thats what darrens and karens do!LMAO! Congragulations man lol
@@homefreeacres1791hey, leave Darren out of it
I’m sure others have pointed it out, but that “dust” was smoke from a bulb that’s gone to air (eg. air has made its way into the bulb, which should normally operate in a vacuum). The filament will glow for a very short time, albeit a little more dimly than usual, but the presence of air means the filament will burn itself up within seconds. Hence the smoke, and why it tested good initially. This is super common with old sealed beams on cars that have been parked for a long time, and is pretty neat to watch.
Look for the plume of smoke rising from the filament the first time power is applied to an old bulb, and that bulb is guaranteed to burn out in moments.
"tie the dog up easy sale" you are pretty hilarious😅
🤣🤣🤣
That's the coolest doghouse I've seen... and that's including both doghouses which house engines, and doghouses which house dogs.
Thank you 😊
Josh, I once had a 63 jeep flat fender pu. I pulled the door panel welded up the many holes, put a 1x1/8 flat bar, drilled holes to dit new mirrors, welded 1/4 nuts tp it, drilled two holes to bolt fb to door then 1/4 bolts to anchor mirror. Never had another problem for 9 years before I sold it;
In all of my car/truck days living (and that's been a lot)) I have never heard a mail truck sound so muscle car'ish! Sweet and hope the troubles are behind you now. Can't wait to see more of it.
Sorry about your copyright strike. Glad the metro is getting all the love at last!
For sure thanks
@@Sleeperdude what copyright havent heard about this 🤨
That poor girl has had such bad luck, I'm sure you'll get her ship shape 😀
She has been fighting for sure
Really upsetting to hear about the copyright hit, hopefully it will be overturned, that’s very unfortunate indeed. You guys are working so hard to constantly make videos, I was afraid you were getting burned out, so it was good to see you guys taking a vacation, even if it was with the in laws, ok I’m going to watch 100 hours of Sleeperdude videos this week anyone with me? While I sleep ,eat and relax you will be playing on the television. More Scooter footage even if he’s afraid. Love my scooter, got a Yorkie too . Stay safe. Careful if you clean the mags on the drag car he said they were magnesium. Proud of Ralphie making his first shive . anyway never give up and remember hundreds of thousands of people care about you and yours plus the big guy is a fan too I believe
That’s so kind thank you
I'm sure others have recommended it but maybe consider having your logo painted on the sides. Love this project! Keep doing what you are doing brother!
Yeah for sure thanks
FYI
I gotta D+ in cooking 101
I might need some of that FACTOR stuff y'all got going on.
It’s really good
I don't do well with cooking either. 😮😮😢😢😢
A good Sunday morning to you all from New Zealand ! Thanks guys .Another great vid ,really nice van !
that truck is amazing the way you built it with the family
One hour six minutes in, what a great photo of Wawa. She really has a great smile, and a good attitude about everything.
Glad there's good folks that have the patience to deal with electrical nightmares, I don't have the skill or temperament.
It’s tough
Wawa needs to write a original piano song for the Vienna Pig run, title it " when pigs fly" or the " Cohcon de lait shuffle". and record it.
Yeah she should
Just got some blue moon ice cream and a case of rc cola. I’m ready to watch this
Sounds good
We're going to need a bigger Kiddy Pool!!! I'm so sorry ya'll! I felt the pain as ya'll were pulling her up on the lift.
Thank you
THE TRUCK! HAS GREAT SPEED, AND THE TRUCK IS BACK ON THE ROAD 👍
Yes thanks
YES! Time for my Saturday night Sleeperdude Show 😁
You are inspiration to me
Hope you enjoy it!
funny about throwing the light bulbs in the shop, we used to blow up coolant jugs with air pressure. knock a 5/16 inch hole on the thick part of the jug bottom and screw in an air hose coupler adaptor, vice grip off the hose to stop the air pressure and plug in the coupler, place the jug close to where someone's working and then let the vice grip go, watch your friend crap his pants when it goes off.
Oh gosh
Happy Saturday. Sleeperdude day. Cant wait to see todays show
Thanks
Good to see the drivers seat on the correct side of the truck 👍🇬🇧
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wouldn't be a sleeper dude channel without any issues😂
That’s true
Need a belt snap for the top of the dog house to the bottom one for not to vibrate ❤❤❤
Yeah might help
Too bad about the leak but the ..."Ok how do we fix it moment"was great to see and thankfully the trans came out the bottom so less work was required...great job guys as always.....Karl from eastern Canada
Thank you Karl
Happy Saturday Sleeperdude and Family, enjoy the videos, see you like the Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr, I found one in South Bend Indiana a 1979 Mercury Zephyr Blue in Color for $2,999 Dog Dish Hubcaps only has 44,000 miles on it
Very cool
@@Sleeperdude I found it on Facebook Marketplace and thought you would like it, looks like the Red Fairmont behind you in the Shop
That dog house turned out great.
Enjoyed the video.
Thank you
I’m happy to see everything worked out for eventually. You definitely need to mount a fire extinguisher (or 2) inside this rig. Have fun and be safe.
Ralphie...."such a shame to cover up these perfect dimes !".......you keep on trucking ralphie.God bless u !!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Ralphies Haircut 💈 Handsome young man, Don't tell him it'll go to his head Lol 🤣
Best family show that's out there!!!
Thank you
Thats one BAD-ASS mail truck truly gone be a head turner at car shows and conversations starter amazing the time and work you put in that thing and the great family time you spent with them and really amazing how much your kids and wife support and help you
You go Ralphy and Wah Wah ! Listen to your daddy and learn you both are doing awesome! Squeeze you are a 💯 artist 👍. God bless you all🙏
Thanks so much
Marge: "here's the 10 quarts of ATF it puked onto the road"
Wawa: "I don't think it's leaking as bad now"
Awesome video as always guys! Y'all are the best!
Thank you
Hey y'all, don't forget to give the Sleeper Peeps the thumbs treatment.
Thank you
I know this build has really tried y'all's patience. But, it is one of the coolest builds to date!!! Eat your heart out Puddin!!🤣😂🤣
Yeehaw!!! Look at you speedy delivery the mail!!! Better than any pony Express..... Congratulations!!!
It's Saturday, it's Saturday, what a beautiful day for a Saturday thanks to Team SleeperDude. Thank you for being such a constant, you are greatly appreciated.
Does anyone remember the website for the cruise holidays, please?
Thanks. Mimi uses vacations to go
@@Sleeperdude much appreciated....if it's good enough for Mimi 👌
You guys are The Partridge Family of working on cars
That’s true 🤣🤣🤣
Much love from edgemere-sparrows point Maryland ! Tell Ralphie to drink a bunch of orange juice good on vitamin C !
Will do
Hey Dude, you gonna do a cooking show next.😂😂 Good episode. Love watching you all work together.
🤣🤣🤣
Hello Sleeperdude and family
Hello there!
I could use dzus fasteners to hold the engine top down and is a quarter turn and you can take everything loose. Great show. I love watching you all work.👍👍👍👍
Ok thanks
Glad you were close to home and not out in the sticks somewhere when it let go. Hope all goes well in the future. It's definitely a cool ride. Wish everyone the best getting over their illness. Take care and I appreciate the video. See you later.
This is a side of Josh I don't think I've seen before. Like I knew he was a good body guy but the way he just throws the tape around, hand sketches some alien hieroglyphics, goes crazy with a death wheel and bam, everything just fits is pretty mindblowing. And big up Ralfie too, he's getting pretty damn good at welding.
While installing the blinker unite, did Josh give the Vanna White hand gesture with that open canvas maneuver? Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Next project you pick up, Ralphie should be project manager, I have that much confidence in him
Hoping you are rebutting RUclips's decision to de-monetize this video. If you can give them a link to where the music came from and they find it is not a digital media rights copyright violation, they will re-monetize you. Then you just let all of us know and we can let the whole video run in the background and get you a bunch of viewing hours! Lord knows you deserve it!
Thank you
Sooo sorry that Ralphie was not feeling well but he sure is turning into a good tradesman.Love the Metro Van and the sound.Sorry about the Trans seal but I think you're getting all the bugs worked out.Im still hoping to see y'all live some day some where.Keep up the great work and videos.
Great job guys. Glad she's fixed. Have fun and be safe👍💯🙏
Thanks 👍
My favorite family Happy Saturday ❤❤❤luvs
Thank you
Can’t wait for my two youngings to get big enough to help me work on things🤟🏼💪🏼
Yes!!
I can't wait to even meet our kid who is on the way! She's feisty in the womb. She'll give life the beans!
Thanks Josh.
30:17 aww. Ellie loves Wa.
For sure
Congratulations....I NOTICED you have been keeping the garage A LOT CLEANER....SURE it makes it easier to find things.....
Let's GO!!!!
Hope you enjoy
Really like the front seats!
Yes we do too
2:55 actually a pretty cool commercial, 😂 just with the right amount of sarcasm & fun, you two have great chemistry - "aggressive" 🤣🤣
This has been a stressful build,however you got this!!!!!!!!😊😂
For sure
Most drivers wouldn't understand hand signals and the ones that do would be confused with them coming out the righthand side.
Yep
hay Josh did you know that robot cantina channel watches your channel?
No didn’t know it
A lot of people watches his channel…except me, of course
Dear @@Sleeperdude
In my opinion you should/could put something like the engines that Robot Cantina uses into the Model T. A two or 3 cylinder Diesel with a CVT clutch/transmission. Way easier to drive than with the weird original pedal setup. Or convert the Ford to electric. The original engines are quite lame anyway.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
When you use RTV as the gasket for the rear diff it's best to tighten the bolts only about hand tight let the RTV set up for a little bit and then go back and tighten everything down allowing the RTV to set up creating some thickness to it instead of just tightening it down all the way while it's wet because they say it squeezes it all out and you're just left with sealant on the inside and outside of the joint where you wanted it to have sealant in the middle
I love the wiring aspect of this episode lol, that's my specialty is figuring out the issues that you had to work out and get working haha
Third
Yes!
Ralphie was using Derek's approach when he was putting on that differential sealer....."That's too much....perfect!" 😂 That was the worst transmission leak I've seen in a while, but thank the Lord, ya'll got it fixed! 😊 And assuming the coolant leak stopped too with the new hose clamp. Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing and for what you do you guys! God bless and stay safe....and healthy! I hope Ralphie is feeling better. 😎
Yes thank you
Legend has it that Mike the neighbor has been waiting for his mail to this very day.
1:10:40 this thing sounds so awesome! Plenty horses. yeah, ultimately it'll need some basic cage for safety maybe. I love how it turned out so far!
Thank you
Josh and family wishing you a wonderful time at power tour.
I hate you had to go through the mess with the trans front pump seal that and a hose clamp. Again have a wonderful time with power tour.
Eddie P. Silverstreet South Carolina.
You Sleeperdude family are the best. Love to see your channel.👍👍
Greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)
Thanks so much!
wooohooooo 👏aint no party like a sleeperdude-family party!
Love you guys and God bless you all.
greetings from Holland.
🫡🇺🇲🔧❤️🚘
Thank you so much
Pretty neat video. That's a lot of work you put into that truck. Life threw you a little curve and you handled it. Nice job. I love watching your family working together on these projects.
that was a whole lot of cuts in that Factor commercial🤣 i bet the out takes were supper funny😅
What a lot of hard work! But at least you have lots of good help--that is your greatest asset! Its going to be reliable eventually but there are so many bugs to work out! This is a charismatic hot rod! I still suggest raising the rear bumper by a few inches, but that's just me. Carry on to Power Tour!
Josh tht was some slick metal work for the dog house ole Ralphie is learning a lot. Another great video by all of you!! Thanks for including us!!❤
lol. I do the same thing at my shop with old bulbs. Must be a universal shop tradition
The joys of working on vehicles.
For sure
Nice work on the Dog house Ralphie and Squeezy great painting WaaWaa good commercial Great video
Thank you
