12 Year Old Buys His Own Project Truck.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Well my 12 year old son Ralphie finally did it, he sold some of his other toys and saved up enough money to buy this 91 Brick Nose F150 short bed XLT Lariat from me that we saved from the junkyard after being infested with rats and squirrels. It has a 5.0 302 Ford V8 engine, E4OD transmission, and 3.55 geared 8.8 rear axle. In this video we are going to swap out the hoops and casings, do a complete brake job, new thermostat, heater core, and new seats. He is really excited about this project and you will definately see future videos on this classic truck.

Josh I can hear the pride for Ralphie in your voice.😊❤
Wawa is a beautiful young lady with so much talent. So glad Ralphie got his Ford and getting it to tip top running shape. Squeeze is so artistic. Tosha is very good at videoing. Josh you keep it all together. Good all around family.
Thank you appreciate it
Dude,dont be creepy. They good people. She a great kid with talent and life options.
@@jamiemullen8772I think Linda is a female bro.
@@jamiemullen8772How was Linda being creepy?
I think it was a very thoughtful comment and speaking love over everyone in the family.
Keep up the great work Sleeperdude family. I would have loved to have a project truck of my own with my dad as a kid.
Are you sure that you aren't being creepy 🧐 😂 @@jamiemullen8772
Be so so proud,The mumma& dadda. Gorgeous children you have raised ❤️
Thank you we are blessed
Loved hearing Wawa playing Freebird. Classic rock rules.
She loves it
LOL, I KNEW I done good when one of my mid 20s sons had a bunch of Skynyrd on his deadlift and squat Playlist, lol.
Excellent job young lady, and Happy BDay!

Clean the floor!
To be 12 years old and have your own truck that you know inside and out…. 👍🏻👍🏻Keep it up young man!
Ralphie “ I didn’t even get a discount!!” ❤😂❤😂❤
Dunno if it’s because I’m in town but I get parts delivered from autozone.. not an official garage either… autozone where I live is awesome..
I had a 150 like this, but it was 3 speed in the floor with O/D😊
That was really funny. I absolutely love that Josh and Tosh don’t just hand everything to their kids. I didn’t with mine and won’t with my grandchildren either. My daughter is doing great in her mid thirties now and teaching her kids the same lessons.

Ralphie's quote of the day "Work Smart, Not Hard" Good one Ralphie!
"i got to use my metabolism while I've got it"😂 ain't that the truth
Yeahh u can do thats if u have someone workhard for you hehehehe
The best lesson to teach kids... Nothing worth having if free. And they will always respect what they pay for. You have a great family and channel. Best on UA-cam.
For sure I agree
I think Ralphie appreciates the truck. When you give things for free to your kids you rob them of the opportunity to have the feeling of " I earned the money for this" and " I made this happen". It builds self esteem and helps them to see a way to do things when they are adults. It's good for them. Good job Tosh and Josh for imparting your wisdom to your kids.
I agree sir!
@tomfuchary-rs8ou I agree probably also depends on how the kids were taught.
My dad gave me his old 7.3 idi for free but I've put the work into it (it's a childhood truck and I wanna save it)
We are basically watching your kids grow. Amazing family
We surely are,it's a wonderful thing, watching them working together as a family.
Yes, great kids...congrats to Josh and Tosh.
Squeezy, your banana painting is the best! It is simple, unique, very creative and very funny! Keep it up, young lady, you're doing an awesome job!!
Happy birthday Wawa. 🌟🎂🎉🎊🎈
Happy birthday, Wawa. Have fun in the snow with your truck Ralphie and put some sandbags in the back of the box and that will help you control the background a little better. Trust me it’s fine and as we are Canadian and I sure do love to drive in the snow.
Happy Birthday Wawa! She does a great job playing the piano!
Best clean two hours of education/entertainment on the Tube
You are all so amazing! This episode deserves an Emmy 😁 Americana at it’s finest.
Thank you
Wawa, you celebrating another trip around the sun playin’ ‘Freebird’-you ROCK!
Congratulations Ralphie. I’m so happy for you. That’s a great truck.
Thank you he’s very excited
Ya
Th is is the only channel I can literally go hours watching no problem. I love the long content and family
Thank you
Yes, me too...time goes quickly when watching this family and we learn a lot about being able to do mechanic work.
Look at Ralphie dropping all sorts of little gems and pearls.
Smart lad.
97-03 F-150 seats I believe. They are so comfortable and those look to be in great shape!
Thank you yes appears so
Those are 97-03 seats. Bucket seats and center console for 1980-96 trucks/broncos bolt to a metal frame that bolts to the same 4 holes in the floor that the bench seat uses.
That picture by squeeze is absolutely hilarious I love she is So talented keep it up and Ralphie and wawa are chips off the old block mechanically talented you guys are incredible family and as parents great role models ❤
Congratulations, Ralphie!!!! So nice seeing you come up with solutions: how you figured out the ignition problem. Are you planning to paint it at some time in the future? Great to see you more involved in more facets of renovation processes. Kudos, Ralphie. And Josh, love watching you being so encouraging. You're a great dad to these kids.
Thank you so much
Happy birthday WaWa, nice seeing you play the piano, music is something you can do your whole life.
Omg, Ralphie: "bass all the way up, treble, what's that, nobody knows"
LOL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Omg--Happy Birthday WaWa!!!!🤗😁😁😁😁😁
Growing into an amazing young woman!
Wawa was playing my favorite song!! That was awesome. Free Bird is one of the best songs of all time. All of these kids are good as gold. Happy birthday young lady. We love WaWa!
I thought it was "Layla" no matter she is so TALENTED 💯🤗
Happy Birthday Wawa!!!!!! Is really nice to see you growing up and being such a self confident lady.. Best Wishes!!!!
Congratulations Ralphie. Great truck.
BUILT FORD TOUGH...
This really reminds me of my dad and growing up! Great job parenting my friend!
I am soooooo proud of Ralphy he was really on a roll and putting out some great work.
Josh and tosh. Your baby's are growing up so fast. I myself would video every day with a family like yours. So blessed. Praise LORD JESUS. Amen. Lon from Ohio...
Woohoo! Can't wait to see what Ralphie has in mind for his project. Also love watching Wawa playing the piano she plays beautifully.
Hope all goes well with this project. 🙏🙏🙏
Happy Birthday Wawa!!!
Thank you so much
You're welcome
That is super cool wish you all well keep the videos coming! Happy birthday Wawa !
Ralphie is growing into such an amazing young man, kudos mom and dad.
Wawa performing Freebird on the piano was beautiful 😊
So glad he got him a truck. Got mine when I was in middle school for 200.00. Wanted a 56 Ford looked at a 53 but just didn't like the way it was. A family friend had a 84 c10 they drove to my grandparents house to fish a lot and when he got bad off they asked if I wanted it. Was going to give it to me but told him I couldn't just take his truck. I still have it and drive it almost every day. I'm 34 this June. I hope you have as much good times with it and working on it as I have with mine. Friends come and go but a old truck will stick with u if you treat it right.
Ellie is just the sweetest pup! Dogs reflect their care, so y'all care for her real good!
such a wonderful family. watching always puts a smile on my face.
Happy Birthday Wawa 🎈🎉🎂🥳 hope you have a wonderful birthday & God Bless you 💖🌹
A very belated birthday, Wawa. Hope you had a wonderful time. Getting Ralphie a Ford he bought is wonderful! The best family on youtube! Thank you all for sharing! 😊 I remember when I was a child. We went barefooted right after Christmas and had a ball. But we also didn't have any snow. It was warm.
Neither of the kids have the strong hands/arms to get hard bolts out, etc, but they are both good enough to do some good jobs on their cars. Looking forward to getting Wawa's VW purified--that may be one of the worthiest cars in your garage--perfect for a young girl's first car or last car too!
Startin him off right, usin chrome sockets on the impact. Love it😂😂
Been watching a couple of years now. Kudos to Ralphie and Wawa on their mechanical skills improvement. It's huge. Thanks Josh & Tosh for raising kids the right way.
And having a budding artist to round out the group. Superb!
Happy birthday Wa!
Marge hope you feel better asap.
Squeeze that is hilarious!
Josh are you the Man.
Ralph congratulations on the truck!
Thank you
This is LD's husband Bob. I am so happy for Ralphie buying the Ford pickup. You folks always make me smile. God Bless you all.
Good content and family mems
It's Saturday.....that means another sleeperdude video. Always looking forward to seeing what the family is up to.
Thank you hope you enjoy
It’s Sunday morning 9:20 am. We’re getting ready to go to church.
I like the girls piano playing. Very classy. Thanks dudes.
Josh and Tosh you guys have done a great job with your children. They are all so well behaved and they are very funny as well. Ralphi you crack me up. I’m very impressed with your mechanical skills. Learn everything your dad teaches you. Wawa, you are turning into such a beautiful young lady. Squeezee you are so talented in your art skills. I absolutely love every one of your paintings. You have a great artistic eye. Your humor also shines through in your paintings. This is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam. The family, the animals are all amazing.
Blizzard of '93. I was 10yrs old in central NY. Most snow I have ever seen in my life. I''m 4yrs snow free since moving to Florida and I do not miss it at all!
Ralphie cracks me up..That boy is hilarious...Pro Tip from a Northerner who has dealtg with snow his entire life...If yall get snow throw about 4 sand bags in in the back end of your truck Ralphie right over the rear axel. Will give you more traction so its not so squirly in the snow. Trust me works great. Plus if you ever get stuck on some ice you can use the sand in the bags to help you get some traction. I know yall dont get much snow but if you ver do just a great tip to help you out.
Good tip thanks
Colorado boy here and Nate is right with this tip!
The more weight the better
I use a few bags of kitty litter for weight. Then come summer time I use it in the garage instead of speedy dry.
i like the dog. the dog is all ways looking at what there doing on the truck. like hes checking out there work to make sure the work is done right lol
Josh, If you grew up in Los Angeles in the 70s you would understand about the lowered Vehicles. It's your show and your the Captain so have fun. Do really like the Video's alot. We watch your Videos alot. Great Family. 😊
Thank you
I love Ralphie's enthusiasm!! My son has never been enthusiastic about anything in his life.... You are a lucky man/family...
Happy Birthday WaWa! Congratulations Ralphie, nice pick, and good for you for learning the financial game, and putting in the work.
I love Squeezie’s art work and how much she improves. The “I’m Free” banana painting is just genius! Straight away looked it’s available. I’ll keep checking
Great video. Congratulations Ralphie on a solid truck purchase. I think you are spot on about using the truck as a daily and the vette for special occasions. 👍
Moms the giggles. Love that smile
@ClickOnProfile744 keep enjoying life. Never had a dad who enjoyed his kids. Keep having fun
The blizzard of 93 me and my grandfather were in a new mercury sable station wagon with snow tires driving from Massachusetts to Florida in it when we got to Florida most of the roads were closed down and we were more prepared than the cops and my grandfather argued with them about the roads closed.... It was a great memory with him fun times on road trips
Kids, don't forget, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose but, you can't pick your friends nose! Happy birthday, Wawa! Learning the piano will pay off later in life. Thanks for all you guys do. Josh, "Marge junior " was uncalled for. Lol! Give Marge a hug for me. She's the family rock. Ralphie, I agree, the Whopper is the best. Squeezee, you have a great eye for color.
Thank you so much
Love watching your family and your channel. Always enjoy how everyone gets in on working on the cars and how squeezy likes to do her paintings. God bless you all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAWA. 🎂🎉🎊. Love hearing you play the piano.
Love the dedication of the camera person. I'm glad you put the shot of Marge in there getting snowed on to "get the shot". Love you guys, keep up the good work.
All of Ralphie's one liners had us cracking up! "Everything in life could use a little modifying" took the cake 😂 my husband said "Josh, you've created a monster!" 😅
Happy birthday, Wawa!
Ralphie, if you keep following your Dad's lead, (and Mom's) you'll be drifting like the pro's in every corner of life... Best of luck on your new project 👍 🙌
Congratulations Ralphie!! I love them old 5.0 pickups. So loyal and just solid old trucks.
Thank you
Mr Josh you are giving your son something that'll bring a smile to his face years from now. Memories!
I sure hope so
You are Sir. My first pickup was an 81 f150 I saved and bought. My Dad and I fixed up. Memories like that got me through tough times over the sea.
Congratulations on your first truck, Ralphie. Always heart warming to see father and son working on a first ride. I think it's awesome for the whole family. Learning things so if you ever break down, you'll know how to fix things, enough to get home. Happy birthday, wawa
Thank you
Get some simple green then spray and wipe on. Interior
@@gerry-p9x Spot on.... simple green then after it dries use vanilla extract. Put vanilla extract on a rag and wipe down the interior. I worked at a "rent to own" store and we used a power washer then simple green to wash out refigerators then wiped them down with vanilla extract after we let them air dry. It gets rid of moldy oders and leaves it sweet smelling but not over powering.
@@kd5inm yup use old spray bottle then. Cut with water full strength Will attack paint so use with. Vaition
Feliz cumpleaños Wawa Dios les siga bendiciendo como una gran familia que son y ralfhi felicidades con tu nueva camioneta
I'm a bit late to comment sorry but that's so awesome Ralphie! I look forward to seeing what you do with it and to see that smile from ear to ear. Maybe you could make your own channel one day and follow in your dads footsteps . Enjoy it mate👌😊
I don't believe I've ever seen Ellie so interested in a build... must be something about the F150 she digs.
Probably smells whatever brought in the "acerns".
Love the Australian Shepherd supervising the operation 😊
She’s a mess
Ty for sharing what real father son relationship should be and how u all love your kids god bless u all big hug to Marge and a late happy bday to Wawa
Happy Birthday wawa and have a grate and safe day
Two hours of Sleeperdude and kids! Cannot beat it!
🎉❤Happy Birthday WaWa!!! You are going to enjoy that beautiful little bug so much 💕 🎉🎉!!! And wow 👏 you are a fantastic pianist!!!
Thank you so much
"The big hill is skechy". I did a delivery down that road a couple weeks ago in the rain, and that hill is skechy.😂
Facts!!
I'm going to be needing a translator for the episodes featuring mom and Ralphie! 😂
I absolutely 💯 percent love this gorgeous familyAll the ways from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you
Been ill for a few months but your vids kept me happy thank you , god bless you all

Thank you
This f 150 is worth fixin!
Awesome Ralphie! Train them while they're young to earn what they want!!!! Can't wait to get my Squeezy painting!!!
Thank you
The late Billy Powell would be proud of that solo so glad to follow yall on your journey.
Billy Powell died about the same time she was born. He died on January 28, 2009. Age 56.
I'm old enough to remember the blizzard of seventy eight! I was six years old but I still remember vividly!
When you pulled the truck out of the shop, it looked like the master cylinder cap wasn't on.
Happy birthday Wawa.
Yeah we grabbed it and put it on but it wasn’t on video
Yea loved the banana painting squeeze and what alot of work Ralphie did on that truck he'll do alot better as the muscles get built up and grow more 👍
Yeah for sure
Squeezy should do prints or giclees' of at least her larger and more popular works...everyone loves her prodigious talent and there needs to be a way to get more of it out there, and it will help her pick up more
💰 $ , also... 😁
@7:42, Electrical Engineer here....magnet had collected metals, metals collected and steel pan were dissimilar metals...thus the, "galvanic effect"...which corrodes one metal "anode" (steel pan) more than the other metal "cathode" (magnet's metals).
I was gonna tellem the same thing! Had alot of that when i was an aircraft mechanic.
Josh, love your sense of humor;”do you wanna drive it?” And Ralphie, try another wrench or a piece of pipe over the end of your wrench.
I remember the 93 blizzard, building a big snowman and sliding down the hill on a big smelly inner tube 😂 Our power was off a few days
Awesome, I’m so happy for you all. And Ralphie is gonna love that truck forever. It’s a good platform to start with because there’s so much aftermarket support. God bless y’all.
Thank you
My favorite UA-cam channel! This inspired me and I bought my project I’ve been talking about doing for years! 78 F-150 4spd 4x4 with the 400
That’s awesome keep up the good work
These kids know more about cars than most adults do.
Yeah maybe
My favorite thing was Ralph’s using the brake drum tools. So many people are amazed when someone knows how to use them.
How many kids Ralphies age have put in the hard work to learn how to repair vehicles and actually done the hard work of repairing them so that they could own a corvette and full sized American truck at his age? I’m gonna say one! Ralphie!! I’m so proud of him and y’all for raising such a good kid. Great episode, as always. Wawa plays beautifully. I had no idea she was that talented. Such well rounded young man and women. Murphy is so BIG!!! Oh my. I couldn’t believe it. I just love your animals. They all have such unique personalities.
Thank you so much
I love how Ralphie is all in on this project and that he bought it off of dad. I did the same thing when I was a kid. A valuable life lesson. Also the Sasquatch comparison......priceless. 😅
Thank you
I came looking for the Sasquatch comment 🤣
Wooohooooo 👏yessssssss another sleeperdude belessed saturday !
Thank you so much (again)Josh !
God bless you and youre family.
Greetings from Holland
🙏🏻❤️🫡🇺🇲
Thank you so much
Bubba, I love your channel and your family. This world needs more of you all. Without kids like yours being the next generation we would have a real problem. God bless you all.

Yes that’s hard work
Rust belt struggles

I just turned 16 and bought 2 buicks when i was 15. I enjoy working on them. Love to see others near my age working on cars. You got a new subscriber!
Ralphie great truck great philosophical conundrums
That Wawa is a lovely, talented, smart young woman. She will have a bright future.
Thank you I hope so
This will make a great truck for Ralph’s. Happy Birthday day to Wawa, such a beautiful and talented young lady!
Thank you 😊
If that banana split painting doesn't sell for over a million bucks I'll be shocked That's pure genius😂What a talented family of artists mechanics musicians and comedians ❤Its also great to see you guys working on my favorite truck🤠
Thank you
Beautiful job
Thanks for letting us be apart of it.
I love it when it snows at my wife’s cousin’s house in Morristown TN. It’s so beautiful there.
