Barn Find 1 owner 52 Ford truck survivor back on the road after years parked 

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!

Hello Josh how are you and your family doing today God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ Amen God love you

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!

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.

MY NEW FAVORITE FAMILY CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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! 🇺🇸❤️👍

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

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!

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

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.👍🇺🇸

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!!

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!

Love how all the family works together you guys are an awesome 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. 👍

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!

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 ✌❤

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...^^

Your kids are so lucky to have you guys as their parents! Actually spending time raising your children...what a concept! Great to see!

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!!💕

Wawa deserves a big credit on this video content and salute that every member of this family help one another 🇵🇭

I'm glad that you and your kids do all this work together and bring all those jewels back to life

If you only knew how much watching y’all reminds me of my childhood and life, I love y’all lol God bless

Brings new meaning to "Give it some stick!". Well done you lot ❤

My favorite RU-vid Family!!! Y’all are the best!!

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!

I'm voting for you as one of the coolest Dads in the world. God bless.

The way to start and end the videos is already your Registered Trademark ✨

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!!

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

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.😛

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!

Nice to see the family gets involved with old fashioned car repairs

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 learnt heapsabout car repairs from watching sleeperdude family,your sardines spot is an instant classic, fondest regards from Australia 🦘

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.

This is turning into my new favorite channel....Love it

Absolutely love your family and videos! Keep up the great work!

Nice for Wawa to see all the intricacies of car repair at her age!

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 cannot believe how great shape the body is on that truck,,love it and I'd never paint it,its earned it patina!

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!!! 😂😅🤣👍👍

Family, love,fun,old trucks and Rocky eating everything in sight Perfect Sleeperdude content right there ❤❤

Great episode. Love the truck. Well done guys 👍🏻 A classic back on the road

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!

Another great video. That truck is awesome!

What a COOL old Ford truck!!!! You can fix ANYTHING!!!! Brake lines, No Problem!!! Tire removal and remount (at home) No Problem!!! I thought for a minute you hired a "Hollywood Movie Star"....No that's Ralphie with a "Movie Star Haircut"!!! Wa-Wa is thinking she is driving this truck to school pretty soon!! This truck here is a Keeper!!!! Great Show!!!! Keep them coming!!

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

Got to tell you that this truck is awesome. Nice job guys. Love the sound!!! Yes needs original mirrors!!!

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!👍🏿

Josh..your videos are the highlight of our Sunday afternoon. My Dad had the exact same truck on our tobacco farm in NC.

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!

What an awesome video!!!! You guys are my absolute favorite channel on RU-vid. 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!!!!

Nothing like fixing something with just what you have on hand !! Some people might not agree but it is fun !!

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.

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❤👍

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

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.

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. 👍

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

“House trained snapping turtle” had me laughing

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. 👍

Great job Josh, with your families help I am sure you will make the truck owner and family very pleased!

This is a great old truck. You do wonders to these old vehicles.

Hello fam, love this truck. I think Rocky is a rockstar 😜🤣

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..

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!! 👍🏼❤️😊

Love your family!! love how you get these older classics running!

Awesome content what a wonderful Old truck. Well done Josh and team!

Thank You For Giving your Kids an Incredible Education.. They will Pass It On.. Your a Damn Good Man..

Thanks Josh , just checked my rear end and everything is A O K 👍🏻, great advice 😁.

Josh your sense of humor is hilarious just love it

Yall Rock as a family. Awesome channel and love it until the end. Really enjoy Rocky and the animals. In thought and prayers.

You mentioned that your dad had a 63' 409. That's at the top of my all-time favorite list.

I hope them people who own that truck appreciate all what you're doing for him LOL

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.

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.

Almost a going to town rig! Love it guys!

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.

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

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!

Great video Josh! What a cool truck, it's a true survivor.

in my estimation you and outdoor boys are tied for best dads on youtube

Exelente trabajo en darle vida al pickup Ford clásico exitos y saludos a tu linda familia dé Lima Perú 🇵🇪👍

Lots of channels on RU-vid 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.

Vse vas lepo pozdravljam in vaz gledamo iz slovenije

Oh man I spoke too soon!! I’m sorry you had problems with it but you are one genius!!

Love how the kids are learning something useful to use during Zombie breakouts or other breakdowns 😂

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.

Chicken Billy Idol

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.

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.

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.

You have the best non sponsored ads

Hey guys that truck is so cool. We don't have old trucks like that in England. Loving your channel and the way all the family get involved. 👍

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

This ole Ford was new when I was born. We’re both still go’n.
