Parked 38 years K15 will it start and go muddin?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- When I first saw this truck I wasn't really impressed but then I learned that it is a 1 owner truck with only 55,000 miles. Now this truck clearly had a hard life for the 8 years that it was on the road and it must have came in contact with a lot of salt or cow poop judging by all the rust. It is a 76 GMC K15 long bed 4x4 with a 350 small block chevy and turbo 350 transmission. Can we get this old thing back in the mud after 38 years of being parked on the farm? c10 c20 c30 k10 k20 k30

Ralphie: “are you straight pipin it son ?“ man , you have to watch this one over about 38 times to really appreciate all of the
Comedy-gold . Mom Dad and Ralphie are so optimistic, Wah Wah is unsure if this needs to be her first vehicle or if she needs to shop around for a new family ! Squeeze is thinking one day the channel will evolve into a home décor channel and is visibly disturbed to realize it hasn’t yet . I’m examining my maturity right now laughing out loud at a will it start video as the world crashes and burns !!
Ya could get that tractor down there & pull that truck out of that ditch.. what do ya think...
@@jerryandloravaughn981 he’s a riot for sure ! they are all hilarious ,with little effort it seems
Some gms the transfer case is filled by the transmission
Did you hear Ralphy 'You raise me up' when airing the tires? Awesome 🙂
@@rypkepaulusma yes ! Hilarious
Family sized engine bay, church friendly one liners, sleeperdude tune and the tiny hand...it's all good!
Thank you
Ralphie is gonna be a Master Mechanic before he's 18.He knows more about mechanics than alot of other people.Way to go ,Ralphie! And Wawa is not far behind!
Now I am 45 but I was able to tell you what you were driving at 6 in every Chevy 30s to70s and then if you wanted to learn mechanics I had to know difference between 123 screwdrivers and I was rebuilding mowers for fun dam I miss my master asc gold patch papa who is the reason I am very capable to fix just about anything and now that you can UA-cam how to I have built a Nissan frontier trans with the 20 tip to mechanic at dealership for a how to take a new transmission down to replace reverse fork and I did it for 2k dealership wanted 4500 but u can do anything just learn how you do things and don't rush organization is more important than what brand is the tools now-a-days gear wrench warranty till 9 pm 7 days a week at auto parts store now snap on its hard if you don't work at shop but I love this family brings me back to my childhood and I have been working on cars professionally since I was 16 so 35 years I have tool boxes for loaner to the one that was 15k new 54 in 1201 snap-on with all stainless steel top was 1499 option I got box 25 bucks a week for a year and a 36 in blue point 5 ft as trade in I have no problem making a tool always keep cheap set of wrenches in case you need to bend to custom shape like dodge ram power steering pump take a custom fit and once you have it saved for the next time you'll need it
Man you lost me after chevy 30s-70s... I'm sure it has to be typos. Because that is just gibberish
@@Daddyrabbit_2 Brad,pay attention to them.Josh worked as a body repairman for several years,he knows all the new stuff.But,he had to know the old stuff to get to know the new stuff.He also likes to work on the old stuff as a hobby,and now is on UA-cam making money there. He knows there's people who,like us,will watch it as well.He involves his family in it as well.Ralphie and Wawa seem to like it as well by assisting Josh.His wife is doing well so just she can understand what's going on.She seems to have some enjoyment.,too.I like to watch their videos.Wjat is not to get.
@@danbytp I agree. I was referring to Craig streetzels comment, a lot of missing commas, periods and/or words
@@Daddyrabbit_2 My apologies for misunderstanding your comment.
No matter what kind of day I'm having, watching you guys brighten it up......THANKS Y'ALL
Thank you I’m glad you like it
That's my favorite truck bodystyle. Sleeperdude and family the best automotive content on UA-cam hands down!
That’s awesome, thank you for watching
A true dad. A great mom and a excellent family....
I got to say your family is so into these builds.Its awesome to see how much they help you with these builds all as a family. Most you kids would just run away and not help. Keep bringing the great videos
Sqeezie’s facial expressions during the reverse drive around the yard was priceless. She certainly wasn’t enjoying it. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you to you and the whole family ( yard pets included ) .👍🇨🇦
🎉😮Да, все хорошие мастера в этой отличной семье, а животные им помогают своим внешним видом и умиротворением (особенно дикий кабанчик)👏👏👏👏☝️
I sure love this family, the humor, that animals, and the car content. Parenting done right!
Seriously l bet Sleeperdude will have a million subscribers at some point!
That truck is the perfect yard truck. stuck in 4lo with just forward, reverse, and minimal brakes.
I love this channel and vice grip garage cuz I like seeing the kids and family happy and work together. I came from a broken home and I’m a single father raising my 12 year old son. This is the type of stuff I want to do with him soon when I get the ability to buy another house with a garage again so I can have somewhere to work on the cars out of the cold ass weather! Good work Josh and family keep them coming! I normally am partial to ford but I love the square body trucks!
Hi, if the comments of a middle aged bachelor are any help, the only garage I ever had access to, was a normal domestic car one at my parent's home. It was only wide and tall enough for 70's-sized Euro-sized cars (US readers can think of VW Beetles or Rabbits and you won't be far off ). A lot of garages built onto houses have been turned into bedrooms because they were too small for modern cars. I have serviced some of my own cars - just basic servicing that being oil and filter change and on one occasion the mid section of the exhaust. This is something you could teach your lad to do. That and brake pad replacements and possibly shocks. I expect Josh's kids, if they don't work on a vehicle themselves, will at least be able to critically evaluate the work a garage does on their vehicles on their behalf.

Great video - now new fenders , rad support ,box sides , cab corners , rockers , floor pans , new bed floor, new fuel tank , hood , door skins ,a new transmission, replace all the brakes and lines / hoses , 4 new 40”casings , and new radiator, after that you will have a good daily driver !
I think you are right
It's a 4x4 , and judging by all the 4x4 owners that I know, it probably got stuck. Somebody said " When in doubt, Gas it out!" and proceeded to over-wind it until something blew. Teenagers take this approach a lot. Great video! You know what the difference is between a teenager with a 2wd and a teenager with a 4wd ? The teen with a 4wd gets stuck 40 feet further out into the muck.
When Ralphie pulled the dust cover off the front wheel, you could see there were no drive flanges on the front axles. Assuming it has a front driveshaft, and working transfer case, it will be a cheap fix.
Calling that sheet of rust a hood is a pretty big stretch.haha I was driving down the interstate and it was like someone turned off the ignition to my car. It was the control module. Cranked and cranked and nothing. Put in the new module and fired right up like nothing had ever happened. It's fun working under the hood while semi's are flying by.
Overfilling the transmission causes cavitation and slippage. Best to have it just below the full line when hot. Great video good luck.
Yep!
I’ve noticed that on 73-87 gm turbo 350 and 400 transmissions if it’s just over full by like an 1/8th inch they operate better
Yeah, Squeezy wasn't sharing the love and joy when you were going in reverse all excited about "feeling the power". I fear a car will be a functional thing for getting from point A to point B. Hopefully she will get to drive the MG when you have the brakes working on it.
The K15 will be a great farm beater when you get it driving & stopping in all directions, including getting the 4WD working. Because it doesn't need t be road worthy, I am hoping you will video this one fully working sooner than later.
Power Disk brakes, Hei, 4 barrel? Are you kidding me? This is a jewel
Your best video by far. I would like you to complete the restoration with replaced panels and totally new bed and tail gate and interior. This is potentially a valuable square body. Please don't jump to a different project. Finish this one.
As much as Ralphie loves to start cleaning I still wonder what his room looks like LOL. You guys rock as always.
His room is the cleanest
@@Sleeperdude please get another hood.... for the safety of the kids....
It looks....tetany
Making the horn blow when starting the engine might be a new business as a theft deterrent! 😂 I think pepsi-cola became know as pepsi in 1961. Great family fun. Love ya’ll. Blessings 🙏👊👍💪
Very good video. I would like to see y'all fix the four-wheel drive and the transmission.
Give that truck a wash and linseed her up. She has a lot of muddin to do. Love the long videos. You all are so amazing. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives.
Got to see you at the Freedom Factory(from the stands), was super cool hearing how loud the car actually was! Hope that bang at the end wasn't too damaging
When Ralph pulled the front hub caps off I saw the gears were missing. Set of manual lock outs will fix that. Trans sounds like the forward clutch pack is not working. Other than that, the motor sounds really good.
I saw on a different channel where they mixed transmission fluid and acetone and filled the cylinders up and it worked really quick at dissolving the rust.
That is amazing! Y'all just rebuilt that engine in like a couple days!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing. I love it when the whole family gets involved. Squeezy's just not into dirty rust buckets, but you give her a baby animal and she is all about that! Keep em coming guys. Love you all!
That’s true
I love Squeezy being that honest about not being into cars like you all are. And it looked like Wawa was a bit under the weather the other day, but luckily she's back and all-in. And after finding that little orange booklet and hearing the Mrs laugh I'd be sleeping with one eye open for the first week or so 🙂Great video, thank you Josh & Tosh family.
Yeah squeezy usually doesn’t like any car stuff.
@Sleeperdude hopefully one day she's your guys in house painter and interior designer :)
Love them older SBC engines them things are almost bullet proof.For those who think your shop is a mess never, its a real shop and this is coming from a old timer.Another great video Josh and family really enjoying these videos.GOD BLESS! P.S. the 350 and 400 THM transmissions are easy to rebuild or there pretty cheap used the 350 THM was my first transmission i rebuilt back in the day super easy just thought i would let you know.
loved this. Enjoyed Ralphie's different socks he had on. I would like to see you finish this truck over time.
Looks like the years of C/K trucks that composted almost immediately after purchase...positive note? The square bodies are the "VW Bug" of the truck world
My Dad said he was going to put a 350 in a ford body and have the best of both worlds.
New tranny ,brakes, and hood and just keep it as a beater.
@@madlukasik the steel GM used in this era is akin to FIAT "Quality."
?
@@michaelames9555 ¿Que? If you're wondering about my original comment, it is well known that the '73-'78 square bodies rotted away in anything but ultra-dry conditions. It's almost like the truck department looked over at the Vega group & thought," Wow, there's a great idea." The bodies are trash- but re-pop parts, like old VW Beetle parts, seem to be all over.
Just watched y'all video laughter keeps the family together and humble. Thank y'all
Well done you lot!. She was a stubborn bugger to start, but run nice once it did. Fix the gearbox, 4 wheel drive and brakes please!! 😎
24 volts dozit every time for me back in my racing days.. my race pinto engines with huge overlap cam timing were a pig to start hot running on 12 volts but 24 volts frightened them into starting..lol.. We get more smiles per mile with your family videos and we must thank Miss Pretty Eyes for putting up with you all at home bless her, her "Yes I`ll drive It makes me smile - NO FEAR MUM eh.. thanks.. Ian way over the pond - UK.
Thanks for watching Ian. Yes 25 volts works like magic sometimes
Priceless Ralphie and mom live the truck so you have to fix the brakes and transmission and 4x4. Love how the kiss and mom are right there helping pure family involvement keep up the good work yall
Thank you!!
There is a rust crack line at the beginning before u put air in the first tire u can see daylight all the way through on both sides there is alot of rust where the engine sits may need new support brackets and struts to hold up the coil overs there too rusted out and will snap if u go over certain speeds. Please be careful
I think you are right
DANG RIGHT! I was a little off but still knew it was a square by the engine bay! I haven’t seen a good square body revival in a while!
Little trick i learned about temporarily fixing radiator core leaks. First you use a needle nose pliers to remove the cooling fins around the leak, then you cut the cooling channel/tube clean through, after that you just bend/ kink the left side to the left and the right side to the right- clamp both sides down good and that should significantly slow down or stop a bad leak for $0.
Another great project. Good to see it running too. The transmissions are relatively easy to rebuild too.
Chevy turbo usually 1st and reverse use same bands.
@@gregoryblair9810 that's true. I'm sure they have a great plan by now to get that truck up and going.
Thanks again for the fun filled video, plus uve got another great runner and of course 4x4. Will look forward to you getting the Trans running properly plus the 4 wheel drive. Hopefully they will be simple fixes.
Awesome dad, your son's smile when you hit the gas says everything about you.
It was common for guys to convert the full time four wheel drive NP203 transfer case used in 70's trucks to part time operation. There was a kit for about 300 dollars that changed some gears around inside. Afterwards, only the Low and Hi Loc positions were four wheel drive and the others were rear only.
The hubs may have been changed. Those look like some kind of "Auto Locking" front hub intended for PART time four wheel drive trucks. They are known to be finicky. Part of getting them to lock was driving the truck forwards then backwards. Or maybe the other way around. Or maybe that was getting them to UN lock.
So, that is why trucks that came with them were often swapped over to manual locking hubs that bolt right in in place of the auto locking.
That was awesome watching you guys bring the engine back to life! She turns fast with 24 volts. Great job.
Josh, should you tighten those lifter nuts before the lifters have a chance to pump up? Especially , if they were collapsed like these were. Maybe you used new lifters.
I thought you were supposed to immerse hydralic lifters in oil then push on the middle with a push rod to get them pumped. But not pumped too much.
I enjoy your videos, they're very entertaining and a source of much pleasure. To see a family working together to achieve the same goal is nearly unheard of these days. I see Wah Wah really isn't happy being in the video at times but puts up with it cause she knows it's a family thing so she complies. Those kids are going to be able to identify every part of a car and explain what it does and why it's there. I want one of those goats like Rocky. Keep up the great videos. I look forward to seeing new content.
Thank you I sure hope so
So entertaining
You can’t beat a small block Chevy !!! Great video !!!
Can't believe you got it to run and drive after seeing how full of crap the cylinders were! Great job, what a fun watch this one was.
Its going be awesome for you guys to be able to go back in 10 years to be able to watch these videos of your family working together. 🔥🔥🔥
Man, ya miss opening day and your comment never gets to be seen. There's so much classic gold in this one, it's impossible to know where to start to comment. This one is so good, I don't even want a single second of my 1 hour 27 minutes and 18 seconds back. Y'all can keep every last one of them. Thank all y'all for being the best family ever to spend time watching on UA-cam!!
Thank you we appreciate you watching
Love those old square body trucks! This is such a great channel!
I’ve been watching you guys for over a year and Ralphie is learning a lot. Keep teaching him and by the time sixteen or seventeen he will be working on his own animals. Ralphie you can do better than daddy . Learn as much as you can, a good car man can earn a lot of money. Do not think you have to have a college degree, college is not for everyone. But even if you go to college, that also is nothing to be ashamed of.
Your channel is the ONLY car channel that I will sit and watch with my husband and enjoy! I love watching the whole family be involved ❤️ I feel like when I watch y’all’s videos I’m watching my family I’ve been with my husband for 12 years and since day one he’s always has traded, build, worked on cars it’s his obsession he’s been really into building rat rods the last few years and our son Brodie is exactly like Ralphie they could be besties honestly our families are so much alike when it comes to the car world. Keep up with the videos our family loves them. The Rays from Washington ♥️
Y'all have to call that one Sally, cause you'll have to sneak Sally thru the Alley to not be caught dead in it. lol . But you can't go wrong with having a working 350. Ty for taking us along
That’s funny good idea
You guys never cease to amaze. Great video. Piggly Wiggly always comes through.
"24 volts gets you up top." Had me 😂. I need to figure out how to use your phrases in everyday use. You guys are a wonderful family. I'm surprised that you and your family don't eventually get a show.
Thank you! 😃
Looks like it's muddin standing still with all the rust😄 Should be interesting to see all the bamage over the years
Definitely deserves to be brought back to full mission capability!
I had a 69 suburban that had tons of rust. I think it helped it since it was so much lighter than when it left the factory. It was 2 tone green and white just like your new pickup.
Living in S.W. PA I thought I've seen the rustiest a vehicle could be but that rig takes the prize! WOW!
Ahahahahahah
Ive messed with dozens (maybe hundreds?) of old rusty junkyard engines and ive never seen anything like those valves- that was crazy. Anyways-its my first time watching your channel...cute family 🥰
A beautiful thing to watch a father teach his son things, put a smile on his face, and just hang out. I never got to. Keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear that thanks for watching
"You can't go wrong buying cylinder heads from the Piggly Wiggly" needs to be on a shirt. I laughed so hard at that. I would love to see you put in the work on this one. I'd love to see some patch repairs from a pro. How about how well can a pro paint with a harbor freight gun and paint from the hardware store?
Look at that smile on Ralphie's face when you Rev that small block Chevy with open headers
Love how far y’all went with this will it start! it would be awesome to see you throw some clutches in the transmission and fix it cheap!!
You guys are having way too much fun to call that work! Great video again!
So cool to watch both of you in the engine compartment together with room to spare.
Oh, those were the days!! Drop a tool. You found it on the ground.
😂I just love you guys! Y'all get me over here laughing my patootie off!🤣
I got about ten minutes of this video left. Waiting to see if you're gonna hook that vacuum booster line up. Loving the content! Keep up the good work!
Think she has a few stuck rings ,she'll come around. There's hardly no rocker noise. Great job,thanks again!👍👍
Thank you
Honestly was a little worried about this one on first sight of that rust bucket, but never doubted you getting it running. It's hard to fully kill a square body. After seeing hotrod hoarders square body buy i was thinking why would anyone buy something that far gone. Good on ya!
Sounded pretty good for not having any oil pressure!
I know right !!
Man oh man, what a cream puff. That thing is showroom fresh. I love that it plays music as it rolls off the trailer . How did you find a 1 owner gem 💎 like that. You got an eye ... and the hood is mint!!!! You never see them in that condition for that year . Lol can't wait to see what you guys do on it.
Another great video Josh! Those were definitely the worst heads I have ever seen! Great job getting the old girl running again, it sounded Great!
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Can't wait for the trans fix and clean up!
I had 2 days off. Looking around on UA-cam and found your family.I have not stopped watching? I have Enjoy. every minute stayed up until 2 o'clock in the morning. I love it I love the Chevy I'm a Chevy girl. My brothers were race car drivers been around cars pretty much all my life. I thank you I love your family. God-bless all of you and stay safe love it.WOWOOO!!!
Not many old Chevy engines out there with 655,000 miles on them still revivable. Nice job!
I have 2 daughters. No sons. They are in their 20s , I'm 54,and I still get so much joy out of annoying the crap out of them when they help me with something. Their mom just shakes her head. Love it! Love yall. Love the video.
That’s great
This was a very interesting video, glad to see you guys put all that work into getting that old girl running. Who would think 🤔 with 50,000 miles she would be in that bad of condition. I'm personally wondering if milage meter is working. Great content you all.
Maybe it rolled over. 1 million 50 thousand :). Lololol
I bet the torque converter needs to be replaced. That's my non-professional, non ASE certified opinion. 😄 Good work getting it running! I think you should keep working on it and keep having fun in it. Even take it to an off road park. That would be fun! Keep up the awesome content, guys!! 👍👍👍
She’s a beaut Clark 🤯
Amazing you got that bucket of bolts to run. Well done to you all for the effort as it was fun to watch.
It will be good to see it working in 4WD if possible. I think it needs a trans flush to start with. I also think it will be great to fix up the panel rust and fit a new hood. Great vid thank you, its great to see all the family involved.
I love this truck, probably the most beautiful thing you’ve gotten since I have been watching your show
Thank you
Always love the videos, and watching you work thru the myriad of engine issues with your family. Thanks again.
Awesome video as always. This is in my top 5 favorite videos. God bless you. Can’t wait to see part 2.
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Josh and Family: Usually I am right on board with all the things you have attempted to bring back to life....However, if it were me, I would have just left that one on the trailer and sent it straight to the Bone Yard!!!! I'm with Squeezie on this one!!!!! Although, the comedy aspect is pretty high!!!!!
I appreciate all the work you do and I wish I could be there to help but in 16 and live in New York but I love to work on older vehicles myself I find it more fun to work on than newer vehicles. My grandma used to have a 2004 black Honda pilot and me and my uncle would do the brakes on it when needed be and really enjoyed doing it and that’s why I work on vehicles now because it’s something I enjoy and if I see anyone working on their vehicle I always ask if they needed help. Drain some of atf fluid if you have too much it will only have reverse
I love it please continue to keep us updated on the other projects ☺️
I love how you include your family,,,,I have a stepson and a two year old daughter, I'm wanting to find a cheaper old 50s Pontiac, Olds, or Buick that we can build together
That’s awesome
I thought my 96 Silverado was Rusty?? Wow I do think that being on a farm around methane gas probably did that body in worse than any salt on the road. Hey Josh I wanted to wish you and your lovely family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving
This is Nothing compared to east coast rust. 10 year old trucks with see thru beds, frames rusted in half, quick disconnect control arms and brake lines.....never buy a truck from Chicago, Maine, north Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, doesn't matter where up there it's all trashed
@@ryurc3033 thanks so much for the reply I actually grew up on the East Coast born in South Carolina and lived in southeast Florida for half of my life and nothing rust out a vehicle worse than Salt whether it be salt from the ocean or salt on the roads if you don't keep it clean and keep it oiled it's going to rust. People say buy cars in the South but I have seen it on the East Coast in the south Vehicles rusted completely out. I live in Ohio now so yeah Vehicles don't last too long here unless you really take care of them or just don't drive them in the winter. A lot of people here just buy beaters to drive in the winter because they know they don't want to go through the trouble of cleaning them and keeping them lubricated. Anyway have a great day and have a Happy Thanksgiving
@@MakinEndsMeet69 thank you, hope your holidays are warm, and all your family comes together. happy Thanksgiving
no Doubt, forward gears and Bunny Hop Straight across that little Fisher in the Earth. You are the Best and I ain’t Kiddin, I look forward so much to your Vidja’s you wouldn’t Believe it. We Appreciate you having us along, catch you on the next one. Keep It Safe Out There Folks
I’d love to see the 4wd fixed as well as tranny and brakes. I’d vote to leave the body and tires alone, maybe tubes. And use it as a farm beater for Ralphie and the kids to rip around.
Yes
She’s a ripper. 😂😂 Excellent video. I’d like to see you fix the trans issues and possibly get the 4-wheel drive / transfer case working. There’s a lot of mud that needs getting stuck in!!!!
Thank you for the Chevy content👍🇺🇸💯
Do a full restoration on this pickup 🛻. Waiting for part 2 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
This was an awesome video. I really like this old squarebody. You need to get another transmission in it and fix the four wheel drive. Get some new casings on it (redo the hoops that you have and reuse them, repainted). And then go muddin' again! Have a blessed rest of the weekend.
Love the truck. Looks like you gotta wing and prayer. Awesome to hear it fire off.
Great seeing Ralphie helping his dad. Good for young man to learn and know. Nice to see the young ladies watching and learning. Tosh great at the cameras.
It's a blessing to see a tight, close family working together. Truck sound great.
Watching your channel i feel just like family.
Always love y'all.
In prayer and thoughts.

Fix 4wd, roll bars with kc lights, flat bed, 6” body lift, 4” suspension lift, 44 swampers, lockers
Used to go watch the trucks go muddying in those trucks in the local lake bed in the 90’s. Guys would drive till the truck broke, fix them and be out there the next weekend. Took my wife on a date to watch trucks go muddin. Eventually they stop allowing missing due to idiots dumping their oil on the ground and stuff, but there are A ton of good memories. Maybe one day I can make a mud truck of my own but as of now, I can just use my stock grand Cherokee
Yeah that would be cool.
Riley injoed this hole video 📹 . And seeing you all working hard together as a happy loving family 👪
Thank you
That's a new t-shirt piggly - wiggly heads. You folks are awsome. God Bless all of you.😊😊😊😊
