Can we get it out of the creek? What's wrong with the transmission? 76 GMC K15 4X4.

- Well after getting the old 76 GMC K15 stuck in the creek, and having to leave it there for a few weeks because of the rain we are back to try to get it un-stuck. In this video we are going to pressure wash the mud off this thing and then diagnose why the transmission and four wheel drive is not working correctly. If you didn't see the will it start video this truck has been sitting in the woods since 1984 (38 years!), which means it was only driven by the original owner for 8 years. It only has 55,000 miles on the odometer and when we took the heads off the 350 engine it had no ridge at the top of the cylinders further confirming the low miles. We plan to get this truck completely drivable where we can take it off roading soon. Hope you like the video.

I feel it's time to showcase your extensive body work skills and do a frame up restore on this one! it"s a GMC and needs to be brought back original glory!
👍👍👍
How comes your struggling underneath when you got your new ramp
@@Sleeperdude I have a idea....why don't you hit up Marketplace and find the parts ...sand it down and go back the original color
But ....faketina it!!!
Some rust color....some rust color paint you can let the kids dab on with balled up Saran wrap
trace out the rust lines now on poster board...and repaint it and blend it in
@@adrianlockey3253 The video was probably shot before they put it up.
I agree. Id Definitely keep original paint colors
Sleeperdude has inspired me to only tune up my car once every 36 years, or when smoke is pouring into the cabin, whichever comes first.
Everything stops when sleeperdude post a video.😍😍😍🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿luv yall
Yep, full stop!
It's SOO satisfying to see the pressure washer clean up these ol'rigs!!!
I’m thrilled that you include Oliver. I’m sure it makes his day even though it’s hard for the average person to see that.
As a truck driver I can vouch for that company I've been battling NPC known as nasal cancer and they have done wonders for me and my family while I've had to take time off for treatments it's a legit company and I appreciate everything they've done
That’s great thank you
Good for the soul to see a family like you guy's!
Thank you
Been waiting all morning for this love y'alls video's
Thank you
As Long as she has good bones, it’s worth rebuilding.. you guys are the best..
Thank you
A budget rebuild with good used parts would be a good series to watch!👍🏼
Good idea
I love that color combination with the white wagon wheels. Could be a rare truck! So nice of you to have Oliver at your home, we have a child who has similar equipment and requires 24 hour care. I am sure you are a real help to his family. God Bless.
Great day for a video! My family and I love watching your family. Hello from Franklin, Wisconsin.
Awesome thank you
Your videos have inspired me and my wife to post more of the jobs and projects we do around our shop! Keep up the awesome work!
That’s great. Thank you
I'd get a hood for it make it a flatbed and just use it. That green floor under the seat seems kinda out of place for the truck. But in the 70's avocado green which that floor is was a very big thing. I know I lived thru it. I'll bet that was a sharp looking truck when it was brand new. Not really a chevy/gmc guy but it was someone's pride and joy.
Good idea
Oh my word, this one is in the top 5 best Sleeperdude vids of all time. Opening the salad dressing jar, one of the best things ever!! And the ten year old in me loved poor WaWa getting her nose greased. I wouldn't have been able to help myself in that situation either.
Those old trucks were definitely set up to be hosed out, for sure. The paint back then was completely different as well, so it held up to the elements like nothing does today. A little polish and buff action would have it looking show room new!
Thanks for another incredibly funny and fun Sleeperdude vid!! Strong work Sleeperdude fam.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
29:30 there is a Rocky on door 😂
I think another transmision,new casings,fix the cab and bed and you are good
@@NenadTrajkovic I saw that too, it looked like a sheep dog to me
Great save..and truly worth the effort to fixer up..that style is really popular and before all the computer nonsense under the hood. Appreciate all you do and as always a fun video. Continued prayers and success for your channel.
Love your channel never dull moment God Bless you and your family
Thank you so much
You guys should flat bed it then little by little change body parts as u need content but always make sure it stays moving it can be a good rig
Good idea
Reminds me of my ole blue 77 GMC truck. It’s a shortbed 2wd. It’s not nearly as rusty but she was a farm truck all of her life. Still runs and drives with the original engine and transmission
Love you all! Thank you and kitty looks like he's fitting in just fine.
Not only do you have a beautiful wife you have the most well balanced kids in the USA. Well done on another great video sir.
That truck is just like the one my cousin had 25 years ago. It had a big block 402 in it. Glad you saved it hope it sticks around for a while.
This is indeed a family site. Everyone gets involved. I love it. Even the animals get involved. The goat thinks he is human. lol
Keep the videos coming. I look forward to everyone of them.
Thank you
That is a summer time only truck with the self cooling cab option.
Exactly
Nice 👍 definitely a project but little by little you could fix it up and teach the kids body repair skills.
I agree
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
Hey Bill
Love your videos! I smile all the way through them. Your family works so well together. Keep up the great work!💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you
Cool seeing Ralphie working, bout the age I started letting my boys dig into projects and help me out. Glad I did, now that they're older they can handle their own, both have ASE certs and both are active A.F. if they get out they're gonna be fine. My youngest is a master diesel tech and works refueling trucks and fire trucks. Loves his job, he's saved my butt a few times in my old Ram 2500. Just good to see, very reliable, respectful, disciplined kid... keep rocking y'all.
That’s great
I know she's in rough shape but as classic as these things are, I'd say it worth putting some patch panels in, bedline the whole thing and drive until the wheels fall off the third time
Buy a 2wd parts truck swap cab and other stuff cheeeeprr in long run
Like all forgotten classics, IT DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE!
Great video will make a great 4WD rig ! be careful Mortske may want it after he sees this ! Take care !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Sleeperdude cammmo it
I say put the minimum into that rig and run it until it dies. It has more air conditioning options than a guy could ever wish for. Definitely not a chik magnet 😅.
You guys are amazing. Teaming up with a sponsor like that is amazing. I'm an OTR truck driver and honestly your guys videos make my life a little easier. I love watching your videos at night before I go to sleep. It's like a bring a little homeyness to my truck. Thanks guys and keep it up.
That is awesome!
Great job even though it's rough!
I’m pressure washing the patio today and I hear your theme music in my head already
That’s hilarious
Good luck every one. Please becareful wa wa. And please rocky don't eat the seats.
Exactly thank you
I blinked and felt that avon spray when Ralphie sprayed Josh.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video love watching you guys. You are truly a blessed man.
Thank you yes I am
Thanks Josh for the truck driver thanks I have retired and miss it every day
Your welcome!!
Would be great to get the transmission working and 4x4 running again.
Yes 👍
@@Sleeperdude parts truck get cab swap and do a tranny rebuild
You put me in stitches thank you for the Sunday afternoon showdown
I’m glad you liked it
Save that rectangular piece of metal. I think its a plow shear. If it is its super hard steel good for making heads for chisels or knife blades. I've watched my dad use them to cut tops out of oil barrels back when they were twice the gauge we see today. Short handled slege and a plow shear (share), 5 min later - trash barrel.
Ok thanks for letting us know
I love watching you guys videos of you doing working together as a family 💞
Once again Great video Josh and family never dull.Those Pop Bottles brings back memories of by those nice cold pops back in the 70s and 80s here in Michigan.25 cents a bottle plus 10 cents Deposit ( 35 cents out the door ), sure miss them days LOL.Have a great week and a safe one God Bless.
Yes!! Thank you
@@Sleeperdude Anytime.
I had those same great memories of the pop bottles and could hear the 16 oz returnables jingling in the back of our family's 1968 Chevy wagon in my mind.
Absolutely those trucks are high dollar especially this gmc model with the metal trim must gradually fix you never regret fixing it !
That’s true
Those trucks are getting very hard to find , depends on what you want to spend parts are readily available , it wouldn't take much to make it a driver !
Thank you
This is the kinda truck I love to OWN and DRIVE, but ONLY on my own property! Truly a "farm use only" rig! Ive had about ten like this.
This is my favorite off -road and Truck'in channel. 😂
I appreciate that Ralphie is wearing a Travis Manion Foundation shirt. I had the great honor of being assigned in 2017 to the outpost in Iraq which bears his name, Camp Manion in Al Taquaddum Air Base between Fallujah and Ramadi. His story inspired both the Marines and Soldiers stationed there. His family established TMF to assist and support veterans and their families.
In addition to the Truckers Relief, TMF is a worthy cause to support if you have a chance.
"If not me, then who..."
I still think this should be Wawa's first vehicle! She got $500. Go buy some parts!
Maybe so. She really likes Jeep’s though better
@@Sleeperdude if you cherry out that truck she might have every boy in town trying to court her so maybe it isn't a good idea.
In 58 when I was 14, Pepsi introduced the glass swirl design.
Ok interesting thanks for letting us know
Thats basically a goin' to town rig.
Pretty much
@@Sleeperdude now what you should do is make a 4x4 fairmont wagon. That would be neat.
If towns population is UNDER 25!!! Lol
I am glad you support your disabled child because I am disabled since I was 6 months old
He’s not actually ours we just get to keep him from time to time to help out his parents.thanks for watching
It's just surface rust,it'll buff out lol! All it needs is a decent hood and it's good
I think so
Pepsi was and still is the best soda, but when it was in glass bottles was the best. Great video as always.
Yep. Wish they'd go back to it. The plastic bottles is still better than the aluminum cans.
Thank you so much
I had a 1979 4WD. I would replace the hubs with locking hubs if you plan on going any long distance. It would be a great yard plow truck. I'd sell you a 9' Minute Mount plow but I'm in Maine.
Ok thanks
The flat bar with the chain links on the end is for a mechanical harvester. You would run 2 sprockets on the drive and 2 on the tail, multiple bars would connect to a belt , bucket or a rake. You can look up almond , walnut or pistachio harvesters and you can see something similar. And it's a good thing they sell all those body parts for that truck , I would order 1 of each, lol!
Not one of your videos that I watch that I want them to end.You and family are so entertaining.I wouldn't put a lot of money into that truck,just enough to make it safe to drive,as you said as your off road 4x4.Keep those GREAT VIDEOS coming.Wish I could help your channel out money wise but I STILL love to watch.
Thank you so much we appreciate it
nice to see the Kitty is doing so well.
Oh yeah he’s a mess
What you do with it depends on how well you can weld and if you have the title. A solid example of that Truck if you replace the body and paint it is worth 15 to 30 grand.
Ok thanks. Yes we have the title
Yeah I reckon that would make definitely a decent farm truck they definitely got plenty of air conditioning love the video
Awesome thanks
Keep up the good work y’all.shes a saver 😁a little sheet metal & some paint and she will look great 👍
Great content Josh and sleeperfam, I was hoping we were going to get to see some bodywork action.
Thank you, maybe one day
Great video, flat bed farm truck, plow truck, awesome as always, give em hugs. Thanks
Thank you
You almost had me puking with this one...lol I think you should show us your body work skills and fix this one up, you could practically rebody this for a couple of grand
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the green interior,you just don't see it anymore.
Yes I was surprised how good it looked
Loved the video. I have a strong stomach and the thought of that salad dressing got to me🤢🤣
Thank you .Yeah it was gross
That's so nice when you watch that little guy . He's so cool 😎 .
I love how this channel has progressed of late. Your work is awesome and I'd love to be able to give my children the sort of upbringing and experiences yours are enjoying with projects like this. Top work Mr and Mrs Sleeperdude..
Yep, when boots replace the flip-flops, it is SERIOUS business. 😍
You know that’s right
@@Sleeperdude 😁
We love the videos!!! You guys just keep being you!!! We appreciate the “home videos.”
You probably here this a lot but you have helped me so much, and inspired me to not care what others think and post what makes me happy
I was surprised how well it drove once you got it out of the creek, it's funny while you were pressure washing the pass door one of the rust spots looks like a 4 legged animal, i don't know how easy it'd be to find a tranny for it, you might have to rebuild the current one. Enjoyed the video, back in the late 60's you could find those pepsi coke etc bottles and get like 5 cents when you turned them in @ a grocery store, so that was extra penny candy for me.
Crazy right
Entertainment at its finest always look forward to your content thank you!
Thank you
Saw one of the tractor signs that we sent to you in the garage window! Thank you for displaying it.
Yes ma’am
@@Sleeperdude No need to call me ma'am
Love your videos. The family involvement is great. My vote for this truck is to find a new host for the engine and scrap the rest.
Poor Wawa always getting picked on. 😂 My daughters feel your pain.
Good day to view your latest video as we are getting our first snow of the season at 22 degrees. No outside power washing going on up here. Glad to see that the frame is still solid on the old GMC. You will have to put some time and effort into fixing it up but with reproduction body panels available you could still make a good farm truck out of it. Keep us advised on your progress.
Oh wow. Awesome thank you
It actually cleaned up pretty good 👍.
Take the ford galaxy wagon body and draft it to the gmc 4x4 frame.Then whole family could go off road.rocky too.would make one wild fun video.great content as well.
That would be fun
Minding that you have a family to take care of , this should get a full restoration , of course slow progresser since parts are going to be expensive for this truck but seeing that this truck was specially ordered it'll be nice to see it back to its former Glory 💯
That would be cool
i love you guy's you make my day full of joy and laughter and may god bless you for many year's to come oh and merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎄🎉♥
Thank you so much
I grew up when these trucks were new.
They were everywhere on the roads then
THAT JAR DESERVES TO GO INTO SOMEBODYS MAILBOX ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY
Looks like it has a 203NP transfer case. Those are notorious for cracked cases...
No, below me it doesn't. That's a federal offense and I HOPE that whomever opens someone else's mailbox for Malicious purposes has a ring camera!
To the worst enemies mail box. 😆 lol
If you know someone who lives in a city, you could give it to them to put it in an Amazon box and leave on their front porch for the porch pirates.
Love you not giving up on it frame and cab very good to fix
Thank you
opening and showing what was in that jar ....literally made me gag!!! lol
It was terrible
Awesome video guys❤ that’s probably the first time that truck has ever been washed😂
Every chance I get I watch them
That truck is solid good high five 🖐
👍☺️👍👍
You need a bunch of used plates and screw on the floor together, just like vice grip garage
The floor is actually pretty good
@@Sleeperdude oh right. The rest of the truck then lol
Your first metal piece was a plow shear which mounts on a moldboard.
As much as I love a square body GMC....keep the front grill , the glass and scrap it.....needs an entire body... a tranny, suspension, 4wd components, gas tank, and all the parts that go with it....just too far gone....find a better one and maybe you have some parts....On a completely different note: You haven't heard from RC cola and their sponsorship including Commercial cooler and 50 cases of RC Cola annually ??? I mean c'mon....You are for sure their best advertising !....I mean I'm thirsty for an RC right now !
Ok thanks
I had a 1976 GMC Sierra single cab, short bed with factory bucket seats and a console. 350 engine, automatic and it was gold with a white top and brown vinyl interior! My Dad passed it down to me when I got my license at 16 years old. That was many many years ago!
First love it 😮😊😊😊😊
Awesome
Josh your wife has to be a patient person to support some of your antics. Beautiful family keep up the great job with your videos
Make a flat bed farm truck out of it
That’s what Ralphie says
Thanks for sharing your family adventurers.. good to see the future looks good.. can really tell you were raised by good family.
Some women are naturally beautiful others are just good painters 😂
I had a whole house painting crew that was all women. Some of the best quality jobs I ever did.
This one scares me. 🤯Bull needs an attitude adjustment. Recommend a bb gun to start.
How comes your struggling underneath when you got your new ramp
Thank you for sharing. I would make a play toy with that truck.
Yeah sounds likes a plan
22:35 ❤❤❤ Awww thanks Josh!
🤣
@@Sleeperdude You know I’m a trucker right?
LMAO Josh sees a testy being clipped turned red as a beet lol
I love you guys thank you for allowing us into your lives and making us all laugh!
