Well it's not very often that you come across a rust free square body Chevy anymore, especially a 4x4 K5 GMC Jimmy. But I can't really take credit for finding this one, it was actually my neighbors Mike and Josh that found this one. It has been parked outside with the rear window down for what appears to be 8 to 10 years. But it must have been taken good care of before that point because this thing is a really nice survivor. It is a 1988 GMC K5 Jimmy which is basically the same as a Blazer of the same era. It has a 350 5.7 small block chevy that is TBI fuel injected, with an overdrive automatic transmission. In this video we are going to clean it up top to bottom so that we can see if we can get it running in the next video.

I’m curious how much y’all paid for this puppy
"Axle WaWa"..... Rockin' the Bandana !
Bolts holes in the rear gate are from a " Swing to open".. spare tire holder....need to source one to make this truck look way better from the rear ! PS Take a look what these things are going for in " Good" condition....not even perfect.....worth bringing it all the way back....LOVE IT ! ( Keep it #'s matching )
@Kenneth Armas I think it's Mike the neighbors truck
@@truthfilterforyoutube8218 Axle Wawa the Rose rocks 💪🏻
Ralphie, dang it, I’m SO impressed. Way to go, buddy, supporting the family enterprise and so willing to do the dirty work. A man of excellent character! Wawa and Squeezy, it’s way cool to watch you guys grow up, you’re amazing ladies.
You guys just knock me out, such a great family. Treasure every day, I can tell you from experience, nothing lasts as long as you’d like.
Thank you, that’s true
Yea some day he'll have his own channel.
I think his cars will not have any patina though, his cleaning tells me he's probably gonna like those bright and shiny cars...
Kids definitely a hard worker already parents raised him right.
True. As with everything in life. otherwise it wouldn't be worth anything. Thats the deal with struck with mother time. it's actually poetic, if you think about it. ;-)
and yep, just as a side effect, this would be actually a great educational channel for parents. unfortunately the parents who should watch this, to get some clues, are not here. lol. - Love this family.
getting a bit creepy there Steve
That Jimmy really cleaned up nicely. The fact it has almost no rust on it is nothing short of amazing.
unbelievable no rust but in rear tailgate areas
I can see Ralphie’s future career success revealed right in front of our eyes. He will be the tycoon of the world’s greatest car wash chain. The standards will be so high for cleaning a car, that customers will flock from all corners of the world just to have a “Ralphie approved” cleaning job! ❤
Yay This video Josh came in at the right time We lost my Aunt last night she was 84 And your video will help me have a better day today and TY for doing what you and the family do. Please keep it up! Bless Y'all
Sorry to hear that. Glad you enjoy the videos
Sorry for your loss man. 🙏🏾
Soo
@@jont0315 sorry for the lost
So sorry for your loss
2022 was a rough one for my momma. We started watching the cruise video and we’re hooked immediately! Enjoy the wholesome content, the humor and pray and believe for continued blessings for you all as you continue to share content and uplift others.
Thank you Neighbor Mark for donating a beautiful claccic Jimmy to the sleeper dude family I hope they keep it, it's awesome to see a family work hard together.
If he did sell it I bet 1,000 hand’s would go up.
It’s mike not mark
Loved the K5's. Buddy had a 75 2 tone white on green 2 door. High school mud machine.
you and your family makes my day. you all always cheer me up. i found out i have a tumor next to my spine. i will be having surgery March 3rd. when i watch you all, my troubles just fade away. i thank God always for you and your family. keep on making these fun videos for your fans all over the world.
I’m sorry to hear that Brother. If anything c as n cheer you up it’s this crew. Keep up the fight ❤
Prayers my friend
How are you
You must be so proud of your family, I think they're amazing, , I've never seen another family that pulls together like yours does, there's so much love between you all.
I'm loving the GMC, I can't wait to see it all done and up and running. 👌👌
I am blessed thank you
Wow! That Jimmy is awesome! Excellent unit to fix back up! You all did a great job getting it cleaned up!
Yes! Thank you!
Mike seems like a really decent guy, it's always better to be usefull than important.
Yes he is very nice
Just noticed you guys have hit 150k subs....AWESOME!!!
Thank you
Love your videos awesome content😂
Glad you like them!
Maybe the holes on the tailgate were from a swing out tire holder. Great video!
Good call!
@@Sleeperdude when are we gonna get more slant 6 content / will it run ? 😀
Those old square bodies are in high demand, and they fetch a nice price. Wish i had one! They're getting pretty hard to find too. Great job as always, y'all!
Yes and this was in really good shape
@@Sleeperdude yes indeed! Y'all hit the jackpot for sure!
@@Sleeperdude did you buy it from your neighbor??
One reason why these square bodies are in demand right now (in the Jimmy's case), is that some guy might have played Forza Horizon 5 (in that game the Jimmy is a barn find, and therefore a free car) and wants one irl (preferably in white, because that's the color that Jimmy has in the game).
That is a Gorgeous Jimmy! What a great friend to hook you up with it! Great video and great that the family all get involved, including the goats! Thank you Josh!
Yes it is thank you
So excited for the will it start video now. That TBI is basically an electric carburetor, and worth keeping. Wawa is becoming quite the helper. She needs her own project car.
Thank you. Video coming soon
You guys make such a great addition to my day!
Awesome thank you ☺️
The best thing about your cleanup videos isn't the flying moss blobs and lichen chips (although those are pretty cool) but the fact that you all clean it together as a family.
Thank you
Loved the episode guys....its so nice to see you guys have so much fun just cleaning a car.....keep it up guys...can't wait to see the next one.....much lovefrom the UK 🇬🇧
Gosh I really love your family I could watch videos of you guys daily ❤ 💖. Thanks for all you do. Squizzie seems to be opening up a lot lately and seems like Ralphie is slacking off more . Wawa always digs in and does what ever is needed to be done ✔ 😴. Tosh cracks me up love her voice and her accent ❤ or southern drawl!!!!!
Thank you Josh, you and your family keep me going when I get down. Hope you are doing well. Keep it going. Stay safe and be happy….
Thanks, you too!
@@Sleeperdude safety switch on tailaget prevents window cranking chek that too
Jimmy looks super clean. Can't wait for the will it start video.
I think Wawa found her first truck!! I had one, super reliable!! Keep up the good work you guys!! Luv it !!
This one had it all! Muddin in the driveway...truck pull..wrasslin(arm and full contact) the goats on parade...rooster serenade...moss...and all the smiles! Outstanding as always!
He lay there like a slug.. it was his only defense... 😆 poor Ralphie/Randy.. man that thing sure did clean up nice. Looks sharp 🤘🏼🇺🇲
Thank you
randy looked like a tick...about to pop!
Wow....that's a sweet Sweet ride!! You don't find many this age that are in this good of shape!! Restore this rig all the way Josh!!!
Right on
Josh doesn't own it--its not for sale. Is this just a project to make a video? Is it a favor to neighbor Mike? Whoever owns it got a very desirable rig. Why are the tailgates always in bad shape?
Great video as usual Josh. Enjoy you & your family so much.
Just love those clean up videos, now can't wait to hear it start for the first time in 10 years. Thanks for sharing
You and me both!
The Jimmy looks awesome after the family clean up. How you get this one going without much drama. Nice work Superdude family.
Yes me too thank you
Thank y'all for another great video, made my day and really helped ease my mind. Loved it when Ralphie asked if it was sturdy "course it is, it's a Chevrolet son".
Hey Josh & that fabulous family of yours! You all are GREAT!! Love to watch!! Oh, I’m so glad we don’t have smell- a vision!! LOL KEEP making the great videos!! Love ALL the animals!! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Sue we appreciate it
I have gone through all your videos from the very first one until this one, I look forward to the next ones, your channel is the best there is keep doing what you do , you are anointed to do this 🙏
That’s awesome thank you for watching
I think it's great that the whole family helps out, that really brings a family close, working together. Love the videos.
❤Love your channel BUT… is it me or was there A TON OF COMMERCIALS!!! can you tone it down please. I really do love your channel. I really don’t wanna hurt anyones feeling.
Unfortunately I don’t control the amount of commercials that is ram by Google. I’m sorry
The blazer looks pretty good after you cleaned the inside and outside with the help of your kids ,good job guys
Thank you
Those intro’s are getting long
Tell WaWa to use the same method for spray painting she does for pressure washing and she'll be professional grade!!!
I will tell her
Perfect timing, stressful last few days. Finally able to sit still. Now to learn some more and laugh:)
You got this!
If the car has been sitting 8 years, out of curiosity, try charging the battery. Maybe it's still good!
Yeah maybe so
Finally get a minute to sit down .after water pipes busting and having to replace 2/3’s of the kitchen ceiling in our house we are trying to sell. The night before inspection. 🤦🏻♂️ and I see sleeperdude posted a video 3 minutes ago. Oh yes just want I needed lol love the channel. And your family is awesome and what we all as parents should want to be
Thank you! Man I hate that about your house. I absolutely hate doing home repairs!!! Maybe on the bright side you can advertise that the house has new plumbing
Hahaha I think that’s the mindset my realtor has too. We are in control.just praying that didn’t change their mind lol
@@Sleeperdudealways a Bright Side of the 🏔️ Mountain
That is a Kick in the Gut with the Pipe Bursting causing Ceiling Damages to Boot. Good Luck on the Inspection & Sale of The Home as Well as the Next Chapter.
I had a couple of those K5s, great vehicle. Wish I could find one with a body in as good a condition as this one...
Yes for sure
Josh did you know the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia because if it was invented in Virginia it would have been called a teethbrush 😂😂😉😎 I love all of your videos and family including the fur babies
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it was invented in south Alabama where I live it would have been called the teef brush 😂 I live here so I can say it 😅
That little circular compressor that Wawa found in the K-5 I have the same one and still works really good a Walgreens purchase 👍🏽 why didn't you guys get the needles off the windshield first before cleaning out the motor because it's just going to fall back in execute a good strategy first it's absolutely irking me that you guys won't get the pine needles off of the windshield just get rid of them I'm pulling my hair out 😁🥴😵💫 I
hope you realize that bleach actually takes off the paint and dulls to finish
Not one like....Really😢
The holes on the tailgate look like they're from an old fold out spare tire holder possibly. Anyway, love the channel. You and your family are great! Up here in south jersey you can't even find a square body that's not rotted out. Good luck with the Jimmy and all of your projects. Keep up the great work and content. 👍
Cool, thanks
Hay buddy, those beautiful kids children of yours are not turds 💩, ,,stop that ok ✅ THAY are blessings to the channel and your family, good job 👍 praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏 BigAl California
Love the Jimmy. Coming from where it did is what saved it.And the people who owned took care of it. I owned a Military version like this. Sadly it was rusted away. Thank all of you for the cool video.Liked and shared. I want to see your channel grow. All the best from a fellow Tennessean.
Awesome thank you
Y'all are the most fun and entertaining family in the universe!!! THANK YOU😁
Loved the family all together making this a great video! Great family! Your home for wayward unwed goats is awesome!!! Bwahahah
Thank you
Randy broke the wire to the back window 😂😂 with them big clown shoes it’s ok randy boi
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow Hippie really got involved with cleaning up the truck and she was really having a good time. As always another awesome video
Thanks 👍
What an awesome video it’s great to see the whole family involved I can’t wait to see the old jimmy run again myself I’m working on a 1967 thunderbird four door with a 428 cu inch motor with 46 thousand actual miles I’m doing it in memory of my late mother who we lost in July of 2022
The holes in the tailgate might have been for the spare tire carrier.
Yeah I think you are correct
I seen the tough one of the family tonight..everyone had big coats and toboggans and Miss Squeezy t-shirt and barefooted..AND she beat Ralphie in arm wrestling...Atta girl Squeez
She’s feral
Next time you have to free a stuck motor try Squeezy first
0:02 thanks for another great episode 😊 Josh, you must be a great Dad! If I got told to scrub an old car in the the freezing cold ida run off and joined the circus 😅
I think they enjoy the fame of being on camera. But they are all excellent kids.
Thanks again!
Great job y’all. Blessings from Texas
Thanks so much
A hour long sleeper dude video ?? I'll take it
Awesome
What a super nice find! That thing is a gold mine! It's almost impossible to find a rust free Jimmy or blazer square body! I'm jealous of this one 👍
Looks great after that massive wash. Hopefully it will be a hassle free fix to get it running.
Thank you. That’s coming tomorrow
Way better shape than the ones here in Missouri. That’s a $10k vehicle here.
Yeah I think you are right
Nice to the whole family working on a project and video
Thank you
If you're interested in another camper top for the k5 the only window that is broken is the driver's back but the driver's front is good and it's got the driver's fold out window but not on the passenger side it's free I'm located in bradyville Tennessee
I absolutely love that Jimmy!! ❤
It’s awesome
Sweet score on the dart in the center console!
a family that sprays together stays together
Exactly
case you didn't know on the back tailgate outside you put the key in the centre piece and open it up and there is a handle in there to crank the window up and down tell Wawa with her new look of headband she could look like axel rose from guns and roses and tell Tosh to be on the look out for rear ends leaking its quite common on the chev and gmc trucks because of all of the torq in those engines not like those fords and the back tailgate holes are from the spare tire carrier like the Jeep renegade and if your looking for one just look up Jeep parts on marketplace should be the same or close to the original and thanks for thinking of me to message you but I don't have alot of time mostly working after not working alot cause of covid take care to you and your family and braddy daddy
My Mom BDAY today 93 yrs young She had goats growing up so I showed her this vid She smiled guess she membered her own flock was so Happy 😊😁 seeing Rocky's brood 👏👍 That boxer sure cleaned up good after all the hard work and expect it to fire up real soon 😃
Oba vídeo desta família linda, que lindo este jymmi k5, este poderia ser o carro para a Wanna, eu estou ancioso para ver o próximo vídeo, para poder ouvir o motor desta máquina linda. Um abraço para vocês. 🙋♂️🇧🇷👍
You’re a go back over that and I was soapy water. Give it a good sponge in jet wash it off then dry. It washed and polished in that all done then you got a serious and then get the engine running
My wife and I watch many other automotive channels, and a lot of other clean up videos, and all we gotta say is:. "A Sleeperdude and his pressure washer is a beautiful thing!"
Wow, thank you!
I think Granny and Ellie are my favorites. 😍
They are both rotten
I can relate Josh. I was raised in a ford Fairmont four door.
Yes!!
Good clean up job guys.
Well done.
Looking forward to getting it going.
Thanks 👍
Amazing job 💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯💥💥💥💯💥💯💥🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Richard From Puerto Rico 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗
Thanks 👍
Great video ,the family that cleans together stays together, and I believe the holes on outside of the tailgate are from mount that held the spare tire that swings out when you open the tailgate.
What a unit sleeper dude, I think this would be a good first ride for Wawa, so don't go and get rid of it or anyting LOL and I love when your wife says gas it. Love the video's !
Good morning to all of You. Another Superb Movie Produced Professionally. What a Great Project to begin restoring. Very Enjoyable to see this Lovely Family coming together again and Cleaning, Washing and Detailing this Beautiful American Muscle Work Horse. You (TRUELY are an INSPIRATION) and Perfect example of America today, should be Living in Peace and Harmony. Look after each other and Do not worry. Regards Jonathan. 😃😃😃
Thank you so much Jonathan
I had that car radio. It's not bad it was 50 watts X 4 channels and a separate sub rc Jack's out]ut
37...guess that's cold for Tenn...I live in N.Y. AND IF WE HAVE 37 on a winter day. That's warm for us. GOOD LUCK
Oh snap we would freeze
I'm supposed to be working but I'm watching this instead. What a score! The body looks solid! I'm so jealous. Dang Josh.
I had an 89 Dodge Ramcharger 4x4. I loved it! 15mpg was rough though. 35gallon tank but I could get 38 gallons in it if I filled up the filler neck as well.
Awesome thank you
Josh, I've seen your Father driving a black crown vic. If it is an ex police car, there is an easy way to undo most of the aggravating features such as Dark Mode, enabling keyless entry w/ keyfob, auto door lock/unlock etc. There is a device called FORSCAN that plugs into the obdII port, and allows these chages to be. made. We really enjoy you videos, especially the kids, Rocky, and the RC guzzling pig. Keep up the great work. Dianne & Barry Estes Asheville, NC
Ok thank you I will tell him
G'day from Brisbane Australia, the cost of a packet of 20 Marlboro cigarettes is $41 AU or $28 US. We have the highest prices for cigarettes in the world. We have people growing tobacco and selling bootleg cigarettes (chop chop) and smuggling smokes in from S.E. Asia.
That’s crazy!! I actually grew up on a tobacco farm. It’s crazy hard work
I believe that you are right, Josh, about the 87 first year for the Fuel Injected GMCs. I bought a brand new 86 Chevy with a 305 quadrajet 4 bulb carburetor. Loved that ole truck, had it for 25 years. Should a kept it. The 350 crate engine I put in it at 100,000 miles was a huge upgrade. Running strong after another 100K miles. Great video.
Ok cool thanks
Y’all are the absolute best, such good and sweet people, thank you for sharing with us, Love, hugs and prayers♥️🥰♥️🙏🏼❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thanks so much
That's a great looking K5. I'm really lichen it!
❓Josh doesn't like square body's 😵💫 I bet you put a set of 35.5 all terrain tires on the future falcon or Grenada mustang you know the fox body and a blue Ford emblem on the front of the jimmy line em
up take his glasses and just tell him it's an all new Ford Expedition, Explorer, and he'd have his and the wife envelopes open wide 😂 I know that being deceitful it's wrong and as a Christan shouldn't have a thought like that. But let's just say the devil made me think it 🤣 good video
You are probably right
Well justlook at “squeezes” 3:11 pretty little toes. Just like Dad, she is barefoot all year. I grew up hating shoes! In my work life I had to wear steel toed boots. Now as an old man, no more socks, just thin Mocs and slippers! “You rock Squeezie” 😁👍
She never has shoes on. And amazingly she doesn’t get stuff in them very often
LIKE those chevy and GMC Blazers and Jimmy's...the tougher than FORD!!
🤣🤣🤣😞
Josh & family guys y'all kicking out park on video ! I Ford guy put I like Jimmy & Blazer that years cool looking Josh it looks great with truck Rally on Black paint .On burn out car I thinking supercharger ..
Thank you
I've been waiting for you guys to get a square body and this is perfect for you guys can't wait I'm excited to see how it turns out and what you guys plan on doing with it
Maybe Waa-Waa needs the Jimmy? As much as I like VW bugs, they aren't very safe...
RANDY!!!!
Yeah she would like it unfortunately it’s not ours it’s the neighbors
I just found your channel and also have a black 87 Jimmy in about the same condition. I live about 20 miles North of ya, let me know if you need any fuel injection parts since I’m planning to LS swap mine.
Ok thank you
I cannot wait until this baby is up and purring!!!! I love these years of Jimmy's. Can't get enough of 'em! So, is this yours or Mike's? I hope it's yours!
Swwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeettttttt!!!!!Arguably the best of the k5 blazers. Tbi 350 might not be the most power ever, but it's reliable, and will run at a 55% angle. There was a good reason the Traxxas k5 was so popular, the real ones were just as cool.
Yes!!!
Mike should start his own YT channel "SLEEPERDUDE RESCUES" 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Facts
Next time too clean truck and car interior liquid laundry detergent like gain or tide liquid.
I bought an old SUV and turned into an overland vehicle. It had slight damage to the rear tail gate. I bought a spare tire mount for 40 bucks and mounted a spare tire to the back. Damage is gone and bonus "coolness" factor. thanks for the video .I always enjoy them while i'm at boring work.
That’s cool thank you
I think the holes in your tailgate might be from a mounted spare,that could swing open and shut.jmo
Great job you guys,love the Jimmy!!!
Good call!
6x9 boxes need be 3x the size of those. They'll work good as outputs from a Bose Acoustimass 3 Series III Bass Module.
👍👍👍👍👍
Don't feel too bad, I haven't been able to use an outdoor hose for four months, lol. Nice score on the Jimmy! Why would you be concerned about using dawn on a good paint job? I thought as long as you waxed it after you were ok? Dawn strips the wax off is what I had understood.
Thanks 👍
Hey that dude looks amazing.... Like you said they are usually rusted out everywhere... Quick question.... What kinda cleaner was you using on the tires and wheels and inner fenders???
Thank you, yes they usually are. It was super clean degreaser
