I grew up with a very abusive father every day was yelling screaming and tantrums it effected me deeply in life from schooling to my own happiness even 30 years later. To see your son happy with what looks like good self esteem is enjoyable, he is very lucky to have this healthy positive environment growing up
Wow sorry you had to experience that. Thank you so much
I agree with you MASH MASH. My father was verbally as well as physically abusive as well. I can relate how this has affected me as well. I've grown since, but I chose to forgive my father and moved on. I agree with what you mentioned with Ralphie. He seems like a great young kid and will take what he has learned (and still learning) and will apply it to other aspects in life positively. Have a good evening and rest of your week!
Absolutely
My father was an alcoholic and was verbally abusive. Working on old cars was a waste of time to him.
He has the patience of a Saint , I ain’t kidding . He just doesn’t get rattled, it’s amazing .
It does my heart good to see you all doing things as a family. No one hauled out their phone to surf or was playing a game... You were talking, sharing a meal and passing on family traditions. God bless you all
Thank you
For a 52 Ford good shape sound good for a straight 6 I enjoyed watching the videos your family is wonderful for helping out others again 🙏😇💯 hope to see more videos
Good to see the whole family
Sleepermom has the most beautiful eyes👀👍🙏🇺🇸
Thank you
Absolutely loved hearing that Old Ford Truck fire back up and run! It sounded awesome for being 70's years old! Great Video!!!
Yes thank you
I was reading something important and then a notification popped up sleeper dude and I'm like screw it this is a lot more important !👍🇺🇲🇺🇲 Best darn channel on the interwebs !!
Thank you we appreciate it
I have been known to pit off work till sleeperdude is over😂
@@sethbarnes7608 me too 🙂
@@Sleeperdude ppl
you know what dude.. wen a guy has a bad day, and sees a new video of yours, ... things get better.. I love that truck!!
Thank you I’m glad you like it
Hi Josh and family.Try using a few or five wraps of tin foil on that carb inlet fitting to help those threads out. Very cool that a great grandson will have his great grand dad's truck. Don't forget to fix that heater hose again before this fall when the Crocs are put away for the season. Thanks for posting.
Ok great thank you good tip
Great comment about the crocs, heh.
I was going to suggest teflon tape on those threads.
Nice original truck. Glad the grandson is there helping. He'll have fun with this. Great video
Thank you
Love your channel. I’m restoring a 52 Ford 1 ton (F3) that my grandad bought new for his building business. I have many great memories of me and my brothers piling into that with my dad and going to help him at his Christmas tree farm. I managed to get the truck back and am in the tear down phase. That tool tray behind the seat is actually factory and it looks like your truck was painted the same color as my grandad’s the color was called Glenmist Green. Mine has the flathead v8 and heavier axles etc but love that signature grille. I found out the “teeth” in the grill are called dagmars and I think they make that truck look really tough! God Bless you and your family.
Ok great thank you
I had a 51 flatbed. The flathead v-8s are the bomb.
I’m not a Ford man but I like the old 50s fords
I cannot believe this family does not have 1 million subs
Hope it happens for you all
Thank you
What a beautiful Ford truck, the most beautiful thing is when I start that engine, congratulations...
It’s a nice one
This is one of the best videos yet. Loved the whole family being involved and working together. Reminded me of my family growing up. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
don't worry about the sparks, I have a 1950 dump truck with a flat head 6 in it , it used to do that a lot, bump the timing up a little, it helped mine 😊
Ok thank you
Your videos brighten my day, even the crappy lowest of lowest days get better even for a short while when I am watching your videos. Seeing your whole family involved, animals included, and the way you all interact sets this channel apart from all the others. Thank you Josh, Tosha and kids. May the LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace now and forever. ❤❤.
Thank you Rob.. keep looking up.
Nice to see y’all. Beautiful ‘52. Four wide whitewall casings would look awesome. Truck reminds me of TV show Sandford & Son. Cheers from California.
Yes thank you
My 2nd time watching this,an I enjoyed it as much as the first time 😊. Thanks 👍 for sharing as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
that was a great video Josh. you got the old Ford truck running and it sounds great. your Family again is amazing and there are no words to describe how everyone gets along and works together. and of course the exotic animals are unbelievable as usual. and I have to mention one last thing Josh, that backround music get me every time. I love it, till next time ✌
Thank you
wonderful relationship between father and son. wonderful family keep up the good work.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude You're welcome
we got Sinclare stations here in Oregon, you have a beautiful family.
That’s cool, I did see some in Utah
I was born the same the actor Tom Hanks. July 9th 1956. Finally one that`s older than me! From Gene near Union,SC way out in the country. Tom and me are 65.
That’s cool
Such an awesome family. I enjoy watching how your family interacts and seemingly enjoys working on vehicles together. I would have given an arm (almost/maybe.....not) to be able to share similar moments with my family. My father didn't have patience nor knowledge to share with me and my wife despises my project vehicles because I went about it wrong. I tried to get her motivated on a Plymouth Duster one time to no avail. I bought a 72 duster and dropped in a date coded 360 with factory J heads, but she didn't like to get sweaty or dirty. But, she at least knows how to change a tire as well as oil change on her car/suv. Good times, thanks for sharing video.....and nice F1.
Thank you
That part you found is from a fluid master flush valve toilet rebuild kit. It is where the water tube goes in to the refill tube inside the tank.
Ugg
Just amazing work once again! And Ralphies apprenticeship is progressing nicely!
Can't wait to see the old truck move down the road!
Thank you all for sharing with us!
Thank you
There's a little black thing with the silver clip that Ralphie smelled that was in the glove box or ash tray that goes to a tank on a toilet it's the part that hooks to the filler tube I believe. What a beautiful truck. And what you are doing for that family is priceless getting this running and road worthy will bring memories back to the front of their minds. Once again keep up the great work! As always looking forward to seeing what you are doing in the next video! 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣thanks so much
I laughed so much at this video. I had to tell everyone at work about it and had them watch it to. Love that the kids and your wife are involved in your shenanagins and the wife chasing the white car to put a scotch under the wheel to stop while you were practically trying to jump in was absolutely hilarious. Love y’all’s videos.
Thank you .. yeah she’s a trooper
Lucky family! What a beautiful F150 truck. In their day, that F150 design was so unique... and it holds up well today!
Yes it’s In pretty good shape
It’s actually a F1
I'm a 70 year old woman, sold Mopar for 35years and I just love your videos. Stayed up half the night waiting for that Fairmont to turn over. Your wife is beautiful, your whole family is.
Thank you so much really appreciate that
I agree
I learned to drive in our 1947 Ford pickup back in 1955 when I was Ralphie's age. Driving down the backroad's of western Maine was where is was at. Boating , fishing and driving to the lake was Heaven for a young lad such as me.
That’s awesome
I can not believe your wife used the "T" word instead of casings in front of the kids. You have a great family. For the age of the truck it is a solid truck. Glad that Austin got to help. I would say the sparks are coming from the carbon being burned off. Looks like a fun little project
Yes thank you .. I’m gonna have talk to her about her language
I really enjoy your videos. Not only is your wife very beautiful but I have never seen a woman move so fast to save you from heartache when that station wagon started to roll. What a beautiful family you have and a great lifetime partner in a wife, you lucky dog!
That’s funny your right she was on it
Man u guys Rock 🪨 great videos great families thats what its all about good times.
Also beautiful classic pick 🆙
Thank you
I love the old ford trucks! I really like the way you involve your family and pets too, you treat the old equipment with the respect it deserves! Great job!
Thank you I am blessed
You’re going to have to give me a few days to watch this. The only truck I remember growing up was my grandfather’s ‘53 Ford. It was the truck I learned to drive. It was the truck o fed the cattle with and took when I went fishing. It was the truck I hauled hay with and took to town to get groceries. It was his truck and I have been looking for one fir years. Yea, give me a few days.
Good memories ☺️
That is a great old truck. Looks pretty solid for its age. Nice video of you and your family and all of the animals.
Thank you
That is such a cool ole truck. I have a 67 Plymouth GTX W 440 Family owned since 68
Wow that’s incredible
I’m a pastor in Tampa Fl and I enjoy every single video when I see this special family. Excellent environment, beautiful family, very humble. I also enjoy all the work that he perform in the cars. I have some of them too hahaha
Thank you
Josh, back when these 6 volt systems were common, you could buy an 8 volt battery which really helped with starting. You could adjust the generator output and all was well. Check it out……
Ok thank you
@@Sleeperdude Just do a simple 12 volt conversion & get it over with. Much easier.
As usual, another awesome video! I really enjoy your channel. An appreciate the fact that you help other people and enjoy the children being involved an your wife and all the animals. Just a all around a great UA-cam channel. Probably one of the top 10 on UA-cam. Basically because it pretty much can get almost everybody in the family involved in watching your channel. Keep up the awesome work. I always look forward to your next video. Keep On Keeping On! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
Great; video on the '52 FORD. We appreciate your family working together!
Thank you
“I’m so glad you guys or our for summer break now” your face 🙄priceless 😂😂😂😂
Exactly
That is a really nice F1 Pickup. Never saw one in that great of shape being all original and to get the original engine running again. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching . Yes it is in great shape
Tell mom she's looking great! 😊 love the old truck, another Banger video!
Thanks will do
They were called f-1 back then. I had 2 for a while. Then they called them f-100 and then f-150. Take care
Most enjoyable! Thanks for allowing us to see your family, and all of you pitching in for the cranking up!
Thank you
That truck is optioned out! Most of them didnt come with a radio or anything. My cousin bought a 1950 model, almost identical to this, other than the color. His had a flathead V8 and a 3 speed with granny low. He had it in the shop having it restored by his niece's now ex husband, who was draggin his feet getting it done. He had it at his shop for probably 3 years. My cousin was having it restored for parades and for me to drive him around our old backroads, just for fun. I was looking so forward to it. He was alot older than me (76) and had been in bad health for nearly 30 years. The truck was a few months away for being done. In August last year he came down with Covid and passed away. He was my preacher, my best friend and my next door neighbor for my entire 41 years of life. Ive had a really hard time since then, because I spent alot of time with him. Him being gone is still a huge missimg chunk out of my life, not being able to go down the road to spend the day with him. This truck just reminded me of the fun we almost got to have together driving his. This put a smile on my face. Thanks Josh. I appreciate yall makin these videos for us to watch and enjoy Buddy.
Oh wow sorry to hear about him . Glad you have good memories to think back on . Thanks for watching
I love watching you all, I laughed so hard at the drive thru! You guys make my dayL thank you, as always great video!
Thank you
You and the family are class act for sure! Y'all didn't have to do that for those folks but just goes to show how compassionate you guys are for others!
They are good people
Why not restore this baby could be worth a fortune, I am restoring a 1960 Ford F-250 4x4 with 223 inline six and 4 speed.
iPods
We've had a 52 in the family since the late 70s. I love the 52...had a 54 but ended up selling it and regret it now.
Oh wow
Pretty cool the kid got to hear it run for his first time.
Yes for sure
Very cool project! Looked like a LOT of fun!
Yes it was awesome
So glad you guys are on summer break. I laughed for a minute straight 🤣
That’s awesome
I've learnt something from your work. Thanks. You're great hunter....be blessed, dear family.
Thank you
What a fantastic old Ford truck! Great job getting it going Josh, I was pretty shocked it popped right off! Pretty cool the gentlemen's great grandson is going to enjoy this one owner family vehicle.
Yes for sure
Good work guys, glad to see Austin helping out getting it running
Yes for sure thank you
Why would you like the "hubcaps "would it be because they are as useful as bumper stickers 🤔
That square body is just dangerous due to the placement of the gas tank ( they are honest "boomers " gm built them that way till 86 CRAZY)
@@bradzimmerman3171 I had many square bodies, one was totaled at the same time that bogus report on the news came out, mine got hit directly on the tank and poured 20 gallons of fuel out, never blew up. The news couldn’t get one to blow up either, so they used an igniter to cause that explosion you see in all the videos of a square body exploding.
Awesome 52 Ford! The engine sounds good. I'm wondering if the fuel line could be re-threaded. I can imagine those threads are really small, but it might be worth looking into a tap set that can do it. I hope the family decides to restore it eventually, it would be completely worth it. Thanks for sharing! 😎
Thank you
That's a good idea except those old carburetors I think are made of some kind of pot metal that wouldn't take well to re-threading (or drilling larger and re-threading). Fortunately those old carbs are easily available, including the glass bowl part if one got busted.
@@townhall05446 What about a thread insert and JB Weld?
@@davida.p.9911 It won't hold for long with that much steel line flexing
I've been on vacation in eastern Tennessee several times, such a beautiful place. I'm new to your channel and have watched several of your videos this weekend and have throughly enjoyed them. As a southern boy who is Christian and living in Washington state it is so refreshing to see how y'all are doing an amazing job raising ya'll children. I look forward to watching a lot more of your videos. God bless.
Thank you I appreciate it
My Dad had a 55. This video brings back some great memories of sitting on the Tail gate holding on to the chain while going down the road He painted it by brush A fire engine red. He sold it in 1977 To a friend who still has it today. . Lots of firewood hauled in that truck.
That’s cool
Looks like that exhaust manifold needs replacing for sure. Its a solid beautiful truck.
Yes for sure thank you
either that or an exhaust gasket. i'm sure glad a spark didn't meet up with a drop of fuel. otherwise, excellent and fun video.
As usual great content and entertaining videos. Love that old car's are given new life!
Thank you
Now that's my dream truck! Seriously, what a beauty, even in it's current state. Restored, I'd sleep in the bed of it every night. An even rarer find would be a McDonalds with a working ice cream machine.
Yes I think so too
I love this channel I can watch with wife,kids,mother in the room,I liked the old Ford too,and the little Whitesnake song lol
Yes for sure thank you
Great content you become one of my favorite UA-camrs The animals the family everyone that’s involved keep up the great work….
Thank you
Absolutely.....I could watch all day.
Invest in an ultrasonic cleaner for carburetors it’ll help immensely!
We actually just had a viewer send us one
@@Sleeperdude I use a packet of cascade platinum dishwasher soap in a larger ultrasonic cleaner, does carbs real well.
Another great project! A real keeper! Thanks for the family togetherness!
Thank you
That red Dodge flat bed has a factory .440 in it.
Great project truck!
I see that Ralphie is really growing up. Watching him take the plugs out was a real treat. Thanks for these great videos and learning. See, I grew up with these vehicles. My uncle who farmed had a Ford very close to this. I want to say his was a 51 model. I know the front was shaped much like this one. I remember those round pedal pads.
Yes they are neat thank you
The Dodge truck has what's called an "A" series engine. It's the middle step between the "poly" and the "LA" series (270,318,360) engines
Ok thank you
No wonder your GMC over heated, knowing all it's stable mates were FORDs. Pressure got to it I guess.... Great job guys, what a score.
That’s funny
My w8fe gives me hell for watching vids but she watched a few of yours with me and that's ok?? Ralphie reminds her of my youngest son when he was growing up, hes a fire truck mechanic in the Air Force, has been in for 7 years now. Best little apprentice mechanic I've ever had. Now he's married and it's a crazy mess finding non millennial helpers that aren't lazy and mostly useless. When I was racing dirt track stock cars, my boys were in the pits handling business when I came in from a race. Proud Dad, I know you are to, God Bless your family, you guys are great!! And very entertaining 😄
Thank you .
What a great video. Love that old Ford and always a pleasure watching the family working on the cars and trucks together 👍
Thank you
I love the content you guys put out content
Thank you
You. Guys are wonderful. I love watching your video's. The 1952 f 1 brings back good memories to me .my dad and grandpa both had one .that is my first truck I learned to drive. Dads had a 390 he put in it . Boy would it run .thank you all for sharing. Killbuck Ohio
Thank you glad you enjoyed it
And washing dishes? I've got a dishwasher! But you got MADGE😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Your beautiful wife said TIRES THANKS Mrs sleeperdude 🤣🤣🤣
I tell her
@@Sleeperdude I'll save this video first time I've heard tires on your videos! maybe Ralphy will say tires 🤣🤣🤣
@@bobbyhall8862 and next wood be bias belted tires......
Can you please say tires one time please 😂😂😂
Casings
@@gertraba4484 tires tires tires 🤣🤣🤣
He did say it several times in an older video when he was rescuing three or four vehicles from a place
That is a great ole Ford. Nice to see the Great grandson hanging and helping out some.
Yes for sure thank you
I worked with my brothers and Dad in the family garage.I was the youngest.Memories...
That’s great
Great find, glad you could get it back running, nice looking old truck, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you
Cool truck! I like the old 50's fords & chevy's/GMC's. My auntie had a a 1958 ford F-100 back in the day.
That’s cool
I love love love your family. you all just crack me up, the way you all joke with each other. if i am having a bad day, i just watch you guy`s, and all is well. may God Bless your family.
Thank you glad you enjoy us
Love that old carb and pump with glass bowl so you can see the fuel. This is the greatness of old cars. Leave a new car sitting for 6 months and you have Christmas tree dash and have $1000+ of repairs.
Yes it’s awesome
My good friend and I put my late grandfathers old 60 F100 back on the road back in 2018 on his gravel driveway. Its a surreal feeling hearing a truck that was a part of the family roar back to life. That kids ear to ear grin proved that :-)
That’s awesome yes thank you
Your channel makes me smile, great content, I love the relationship you have with your children. All families should be as yours...
Thank you I am blessed
Your having waaaay to much fun with family, toys, a mess of animals and just good people around you.
Thank you
Love the family aspect of your videos! I'm in my 70's and learned 'fixen' cars and trucks from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, old time mechanics were a different breed! Lead foil tape with a set screw would have been the old time fix on the carb body, the modern fix would be JB weld. 1 wrap of Teflon tape for release, then JB weld the fitting in place. Works like a champ.
Ok thank you
That’s my fav model truck!!! Ever since Sanford And Son show I’ve always wanted one.
I have a special engine built and ready for the day I find one. It’s a 351 cobra jet. It should make that truck pull hard one day. Lol!
That’s cool
This is awesome helping someone out to get the F1 roadworthy. Nice truck. Y’all have a Blessed one sir
Thank you
This is a great video, I have a 47 1 ton F-3 sitting in my back yard that my Grand Dad bought new and it still has the original tires on it and it needs just about what you have pulled off here !! Best wishes and prayers to you and yours !!
Thank you, sounds like a cool truck
Just got through the 52 ford loved it loved the family envolvement
Thank you
Really enjoy the videos! Great seeing yall work together. Can't wait see another one on this truck
Thank you
Gotta say it again, another great video. Fun, family, pets, saving another vehicle, and appearance by "little hand".
Thank you
It was right at 49:00 minutes when she 🔥 fired up and all across America 🇺🇸 there was a resounding " Yeh Baby" heard through out the land! 🍋🌺
Yes 🙌
Hey Brother, that is one sweet truck, by the way, the tool box behind the seat is a factory part, my 48 had the same box. Fixing this truck for those people is a awesome thing to do, hats off to you and your family. 🎩👍
Ok that’s cool thank you
Wow! True barn find👍. Get it running, save the patina and drive!
Pig kisser and the Ford she runs. Hey! You would not believe how bright and shiny that Ford looked new. When I was pretty small my dad bought a new Ford shiny red 52 pickup. I mean when you are 5 years old she looks beautiful. I could not keep it on the road sitting in dad's lap, snow Bank to snow bank.
That’s a great story
I bet this truck is the overall favorite vehicle of any that you all have worked on. The front end of that truck is awesome!
It is beautiful I bet your right
With all the negative crap is going on right now it is so nice to see a nice wholesome video like yours keep up the good work I love your family can’t wait to see more on the Ford pick up
Thank you
This stuff never gets old! Vianya:s belly sounds like a bass drum! Another fun video. Thanks as always Sleeperdude and crew!
Yes for sure .. thank you
Wow,I would love to have that Truck..it was born the same year as Me...having its 70th Birthday this year.
It is in great shape body wise..
Love your channel..love to You,Wife and kiddos...Ralphie is a gem..
So glad you got the old girl started!!
Yes thank you
You have a wonderful family!! Funny you told your wife to watch her language!! I thought were serious at first. You would be the BEST neighbors I bet!! The truck is a Beauty!! And it RUNS!!!!
Thank you .. we do have a lot of fun
In 1972 I was 14. My dad took me to a farm in Oregon. And in the field among the cow's sat a 52 f1. 6 cylinder 3 speed on tree. We did a light restore. Paint, rebuilt the engine etc. It was to become my first truck. The at 17, I was tboned. Totaled it. Put my head through back window too. Lol
Oh man that’s not good
