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.
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!
Hello Josh how are you and your family doing today God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ Amen God love you
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.
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.
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
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
MY NEW FAVORITE FAMILY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome thank you
Love how all the family works together you guys are an awesome family
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 ✌❤
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
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
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...^^
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
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!
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
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.👍🇺🇸
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.
“House trained snapping turtle” had me laughing
I’m glad you liked it, my buddy Cory used to say that.
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.
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
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 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!
I appreciate you a very good dad got them working with you and training very well as they grow older no excuse for not knowing driving. Great dad.
Thank you
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.😁🇺🇸👍
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.
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.
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!
Your kids are so lucky to have you guys as their parents! Actually spending time raising your children...what a concept! Great to see!
1952 Ford F1 Pick Up Truck Project
Wallingford, CT
Great Rat Rod project! Flat head V8 was running last summer and turns freely. Interior is in pretty good shape and could be driven in as is. There is quite a bit of body rust however, frame is very solid as is the original suspension. Been in the ...
1 week ago on Americanlisted
Ok thank you
@@Sleeperdude Man I hope you got it.
What an awesome video!!!! You guys are my absolute favorite channel on TH-cam. 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!!!!
My third son and I were restoring a 47 pickup 13 years ago. Those are the memories that get bring a smile to face on bad days. Nows it's me and my 2nd son that fix and restore what we have at the time. Myself and so many others enjoy yourchannel
That’s great thank you
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
My Dad had a 48 Bonus the same colour as this 52. It had the flathead V8 and 4-speed crashbox and I loved riding in it because the sound of the straight cut gears in that box were so musical and the V8 could idle so low you could almost hear each cylinder fire. Seeing this F1 moving along the road brought back a lot of great memories. I've enjoyed the series on the beast - even the breakdown had a positive ending! To my mind, a vehicle with its original running gear still working well should be left intact and run as is, rather than repowered with a modern engine just for the sake of it, so it was great to see that she's still got some good miles left on that engine and everything working as it should. Great looking truck and great to see that she can still be driven by your youngsters too! All the best
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!
I was a professional painter for years. You can industrial enamel from a paint store for steel,,concrete. Rolls or brushes on. Add a little thinner or mineral spirits. It will lay down like glass. I painted the whole bottom of a F-150 .looked great, and lasts.
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!
Some how i missed the last half of this great rescue mission. ...Mama has lost weight its late October now way to go. Ya'll must be related with reverse all the way to a driveway and hacksaw blade and a twig LOVED IT !!!!
Thank you
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
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!
Great episode. Love the truck.
Well done guys 👍🏻
A classic back on the road
Thank you
Great job on the truck, a little trick with brake lines if you're trying to save them is heat them with a butane torch at the fitting then quench them with a spray bottle of water the sudden shock will break them loose so when you unscrew the nut the line won't twist off. As far as gas tanks Rusty you can fill them with white vinegar let him sit for a week dump them out and the rest will be gone.
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 ❤
Yes , I had a 59 Rambler and I recognized the carb and float bowl.
Awesome
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 😉👍🏻
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
Got to tell you that this truck is awesome. Nice job guys. Love the sound!!! Yes needs original mirrors!!!
Wawa deserves a big credit on this video content and salute that every member of this family help one another
🇵🇭
For sure
Absolutely love your family and videos! Keep up the great work!
Nothing like fixing something with just what you have on hand !! Some people might not agree but it is fun !!
Brings new meaning to
"Give it some stick!".
Well done you lot ❤
Thank you
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!
Josh..your videos are the highlight of our Sunday afternoon. My Dad had the exact same truck on our tobacco farm in NC.
I'm a Ford truck fan from way back. I was born in 1952. An F1 from 1952 is my dream. The first Vehicle I owned and made payments on was a 1968 F100 Camper special with a 360 motor. It was also the first vehicle I ever swapped a motor in. I replaced the 360 with a 351W during the fuel "crises" in 1974. I loved that motor.
That’s awesome
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
My grandpa bought a 49 used in like 52 from the guy he worked for. Him and my Dad learned to drive at the same time
My Dad was like 14 and my grandpa was 42 . Wish I had that old truck.
God bless y'all!
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
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
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.
You said the country roads were made for cars that age. When I was a kid most of the county roads in our part of Oklahoma were dirt or gravel. The funny thing the county would spray oil on the roads in front of the farm houses to knock down the dust. The oil did not kill anything, it made the weeds along the side of the road grow very well. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in those days. My first car was a 1954 Ford and paid $600.00 for it with 30,000 miles on it. I bought it in in 1959.
The way to start and end the videos is already your Registered Trademark ✨
Nice truck. I remember when I was a kid my dad got a 49 Chevy pickup and fixed it up, he drove it a lot, always ran great. One day though I was with him in the truck making a left at the light, and half way through the turn my door flings open and I go with it, good thing the window was down 😯
Absolutely wonderful! Tell Ralphie to hold that clutch steady as soon as he feels it move.
Thank you enjoyed watching your video you're the kind of person I believe I could work with God bless you and your family
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
Brings back memories. Had a 45 Ford in high school, lots of break downs.
Nice for Wawa to see all the intricacies of car repair at her age!
Some of the best memories of my teenage years were running parts for a body shop with my buddies in an old Ford truck like that one. The older guys did all the driving and I was riding shotgun. The heater was stuck on full blast. And it was no fun in July/August. Great video guys, love your family !
That’s funny!! Thank you
Great job Josh, with your families help I am sure you will make the truck owner and family very pleased!
Those sardines got me in trouble at a factory lunch-room. My co-workers insisted I eat at a picknick table outside. For wheel paint, try alkyd-urethane porch and deck enamel. It's a gloss paint, you can brush on, leaving no brush marks. If you have a detail gun and compressed air, it can be sprayed on.
Ok thanks
Yall Rock as a family. Awesome channel and love it until the end. Really enjoy Rocky and the animals. In thought and prayers.
Love me a car with a clutch, had 3 vw's and a Subaru. I was born in 1950, so the Volkswagen's were a 69, 72 and 74. Nothing like getting pushed and popping the clutch to get started. Proud to say when I got married and had the subaru a mechanic told my husband whoever is driving this has not damaged the clutch at all.
Awesome content what a wonderful
Old truck. Well done Josh and team!
Thank you
I was going to tell you something about the old Ford truck, I have a 1950 f600 , it has adjustable tie rod ends and all of the steering parts are adjustable, you can tighten them up when they get slack. Don't know if the smaller ones are the same or not, just a thought. God bless!
Awesome thank you
Another great video. That truck is awesome!
Thank you
Fer thu love of pete..front disc brake conversion mate! Safety! drums in the bumm's fine..
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!
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
Almost a going to town rig! Love it guys!
Lots of channels on TH-cam have videos of car and truck fixin' however this channel has family bonding like no other. Added bonus is cute livestock trying to be human.
Thank you
Great video Josh! What a cool truck, it's a true survivor.
Yes for sure thank you
When you install new tires you really should line up the balance point dots to the valve stem. You will use alot less lead to balance the tires. Give it a try and you will find out the less lead to balance tires deal. I really enjoy watching saving the old trucks and automobiles, keep up the great job y'all are doing!!!
Yeah your probably right
I hope them people who own that truck appreciate all what you're doing for him LOL
😊
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
Love the truck. Great job getting it back home after the breakdown.
This story reminds me of my father and I building my first 51 Ford F-1 when I was in high school 1968. We bought 3 to build 1 back when they were $25 to $50 each. What memories we made together. Makes me want to get another and do it again....... I think I may get one already done, not as limber as i used to be!
Hello fam, love this truck. I think Rocky is a rockstar 😜🤣
really enjoyable. I bought a F1 1950 in July. Looking forward to working on this winter.
I installed a flex hose on my old 1970 Chevy. They use to be pretty cheap in the 70’s but the last time that I priced a flex hose, it was very expensive compared to the aftermarket Gates hose.
Exelente trabajo en darle vida al pickup Ford clásico exitos y saludos a tu linda familia dé Lima Perú 🇵🇪👍
Thank you
Hi John and family!!! I've got to say that what you are doing with your family is absolutely wonderful!!! Well done you, keep it going! congratulations for the life you are giving the family.
I don't know much about cars and that's why I wanted to ask you WHY DO YOU START AN OLD CAR that's been standing for 10 years or more, Without checking the oil, water and petrol?? YOU HAVE ENOUGH TOOLS AND knowledge of mechanic. In my opinion if you start the car with all that old OIL, PETROL and NO WATER you know that the carbureiter is gone get more dirt on it and so ON!!! PLEASE PLEASE tell me why. Because normally after you do go and get all new parts but why not do it before hand?? I hope you can get back to me please
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
All the best From Birmingham UK
Thank you. We do usually check to make sure it has oil. I like to start them and get them warm to break down slide before changing the oil. Thanks for watching.
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.
Love that old ford truck, it'd look great with a chrome grill. I went through that clogging problem with my old 68 karmann ghia, bought a new tank.Keepin coming!
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.
You need to put another fuel filter underneath before the fuel pump to catch any rust that might let loose, the rust getting to the fuel pump can ruin it. I did the same thing on my 52 Ford F1 because the tank in it was rusted bad also. I used a big steel filter in the line under the cab.
Family, love,fun,old trucks and Rocky eating everything in sight
Perfect Sleeperdude content right there ❤❤
Love how the kids are learning something useful to use during Zombie breakouts or other breakdowns 😂
i DON'T WHAT YOU IN MIND FOR THAT TRUCK BUT FRONT DISC BRAKES ARE THE BEST. Wawa might like too drive it.
Vse vas lepo pozdravljam in vaz gledamo iz slovenije
I'm voting for you as one of the coolest Dads in the world. God bless.
