I'm thinking, all together, you probably spent half the money you would have taking your family to the amusement park, but it sure looks like you ALL had twice as much fun! Good Job!!
Sleeper - How could you not feel blessed - A beautiful wife and a great bunch of kids all pitching in to have fun with a bunch of old cars - Oh Ya - Rocky and his extended family too
No she's not dead those 232 and 258 AMC engines are virtually indestructible very much like the good old Chrysler 225 SLANT SIX,they hold up even better than today's engines.
Another awesome video. I really enjoy the fact that your entire family and even the animals are included in all your videos. I've enjoyed every video I watched. Keep up the great work! It keeps me coming back. I'm at a point where I'm looking forward to the next video. Which I'm assuming is a good thing. One of my top five UA-cam channels! Keep on Motoring brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Happy Mamma Sleeperdude day! I think you might have put the seats in to soon, the kids got really relax before work got done. A nice day for the family.
I would let the kids drive the cars in the panic and I hope that they are having lots of fun helping sleeper dude so I'm learning some things about a lot more about all different types of cars and this channel and I love whating cars video from sleeper dude they they're very helpfully to authors who have been watching sleeper dude's channel and they are good at what they do and it's very nice to everyone else 🤑🤑
I'm loving Ralphie driving the 9N tractor. I was about his age when a family friend taught me how to drive his 9N. He later started trusting me on his Allis Chalmers WD45, but soon passed away with cancer. The rest is just Sleeperdude and family gold! What an awesome video!.
Nice! Loved the hand trying to open the battery cable package. lol. I'd like to apologize for giving you a bad time for putting the 454 in the Fairmont. I'm on board now and looking forward to how it turns out. You're a good man. I'll say it again, you have an awesome family. You are truly blessed.--Bruce
Full service full station 🚉. Sir will you fill the oil drum and check the ⛽️ gas. Singing " on top of ol smokie" rolling thru the Walmart parking lot. Lol 😆 good memories! Great job!!!
Don’t know what I dig more the van or the tractor. If I still lived I SoCal and still surfing. It would be a cool surf wagon. All my buddies would turn too on it, sanding and bodywork. Fancy up the interior a great sound system, theses day with TV. But sadly I have to be 50 years younger to really enjoy it. Now I would have to add power steering just to get it out of the driveway. Love the channel Mom, the kids and all the critters, seems like y’all have great fun.
In the early 70's I carried mail in those trucks . They were hard on the back because being high up and people would but the mail boxes to low. Brings back old memories of working at the post office for 38 years. Love the videos and the way your whole family likes to help. Rocky is the cutes too. God has really blessed you.
Awesome job. I didn't have much faith but wow it did soooo much better than I thought. Running into a nice run of getting cars resurrected. So cool and looking forward to seeing this transform into a sweet ride.
Great job at getting her going.I guess the 24 volt is the trick! It is really nice that the whole family is helping and driving the metro.Love seeing Rocky and his family!
Yippee!!! I sure like that Mrs. Sleeperdude, " She ain't broke just cause she smokes," I'm happy now for you guys, and my Saturday just got alot better.
This truck definitely could be something cool. Idea, put the seats in the normal way but only use 2 of them, then you can have room in the back for cargo or animals. You should LS it, then put in vintage air to stay cool, then turn it into your family Tow Rig.
As I said in the past, do you have a beautiful family Josh and it’s so wonderful to see y’all spend so much time together. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t get to see Rocky drive today
This little van would be a great promotional vehicle for you. Just put all your social media contacts on the side then when you go to get timber or car parts etc you’ll be promoting your channels. I reckon it’s a keeper.
I hope your kids look back on this and realize just how cool their parents are!!! Love the goats, can't stand the wieners but I do remember the RC colas. Will have to go find them again. LOVE your family videos.
I did not think this old girl had a chance to even run at all. I still think the engine is in need of a complete rebuild if that is even possible, the crank my be beyond machining. So much blow by pushing past the rings into the crankcase, the valve cover was releasing all that blow by, it looked like a choo choo train. Great job hanging in there and not giving up, loved it.
Congratulations on getting the old van going but how about letting the family hand paint the old girl, letting them use their imagination could end up a fun family time for all. It would sure make people smile as you guys drive it around.😀. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
A new family hauler! And if the kids get out of line , just give the steering wheel a jab left or right , that will get there attention. Well done, keep it running.
If someone hasn't already said it, when you were trying to check the timing and your timing light wasn't picking up the fire, it wouldn't have fired on number one since you didn't have the lighting wire grounded as it would be if it was connected to the sparkalator. Great job on all your videos. Great job with that family. Hallelujah!
That thing has so much potential as a concession van for the kids business , I would not paint it , just have some signs made for the sides and back door come up with a good name and it could take the kids lol the way through high school and you ever know where it could take them ?
I know this would be a stretch but if you could contact a local maker of animal crackers and get them to make a run of Rocky's favorites in small bags the kids could sell out of the van . Just trying to brain storm this idea with not much brain to work with !! Lol
My 1st thought would be full custom build on air suspension, Dayton wire wheels and ( because I'm an avid car stereo guy who competes and just enjoys loud music) a full sound system. Then I got to thinking, if you are old enough to remember the video game, this would be I killer candidate for a Twisted Metal creation
That must bee a magic motor . It run good too . The truck look solid except for the little holes in the floor . So fun to watch you're all in this video making this truck live again . And Ralph is testing his magic flip flops and they work too . Is there a drivers-seat for that truck ?
No drivers seat yet we are gonna get one soon. Yeah not bad at all especially for stuff we buy 😄and the motor sounds way better now that was surprising
You know , I can see making this into a snow cone truck for the kids to drive up to school or church functions a have a little business to teach them some real world lessons !! As they earn their way alone , they could add other things like drinks and snacks ,making it a real concession stand !!
Wonderful seeing family doing things together !! Great content !! Thank you so much for sharing your journey !!! Stay safe and God bless each one of you !!! In JESUS NAME !!!!!! Eddy. ( Southwestern part of Virginia ).
Rocky is a true Mechanic , he's my favorite cause he make's sure that Safety is first and that there's no cutting corners, Great Job to you and your Family
Great video , the truck is awesome.....thats your merchandise selling rig for the swap meets. I laughed out loud when the baby hand appeared and started trying to open up the battery cable package. The videos are very enjoyable and always put a smile on my face. Beautiful Family. Thanks for sharing, and God bless
What a coo mommy van:) You need to get it running more reliable and let mom drive the kids to school in it. :) Great video keep them coming. pilotcropduster
it`s good to see the whole family enjoying the same thing, ( working on car`s ) now day`s, kidos that age don`t know what it is like to be doing anything out doors. they have their face planted down at their hand held devices. you are blessed my friend.
I made a camper out of that same model. I bought it from usps at auction. Re arched the 4 leaf springs and added a spring all around, that van would go anywhere. Great truck.
Congratulations on saving another one and another great video. You fooled me for a second with that plastic hand. It's great that you're saving all these old vehicles but I think the bigger picture is the memories you're making with your children. Years from now when they've left the nest or when you go onto your reward they'll always have these videos to look back on and relive the good times
I can't believe this video how wonderful it is. the expression on your kids faces during the video. the enjoyment all of you are getting. and to top it off the exotic animals just blow me away. everything is so genuine and real. I remember when my 2 daughters were the age of yours. now they are in there 20s. and God bless your son, he is so smart and you are teaching him well. not to forget your wife, she is wonderful and very caring. I wish I could go on. there is so much more to say. I can't wait for your next video ✌
From the first time it barked off I immediately thought yess it’s gonna run I was so happy 😁. The more it runs the better it gets. I’m so happy for y’all. Ralphie’s ending is priceless looked so serious lol 😂. Have a Blessed One Sir.
Wow , you guys know how to live ! Love you guys and see that God has blessed you all. The most modern smartest, funniest and loving family of red Necks I've ever seen ! Keep having fun and stay safe too, Ontario Canada.
When I was a trucker I hauled many casings and even raw rubber. I love the smell. Hauled for Firestone, Michelin. It’s like a skunk that hasn’t so much been whalloped but just issued a stern warning…
My older brother bought a retired Postal Service van much like this one with the inline 6 and automatic. This was around maybe '72 or '73. We used it to go surfing on Padre Island. Just throw the longboards in, ice chest w drinks, food for a few days. I put a stereo system in it! It was cool too!
I'm thinking, all together, you probably spent half the money you would have taking your family to the amusement park, but it sure looks like you ALL had twice as much fun! Good Job!!
Your probably right thank you
Sleeper - How could you not feel blessed - A beautiful wife and a great bunch of kids all pitching in to have fun with a bunch of old cars - Oh Ya - Rocky and his extended family too
Yes I am blessed thank you
I'm enjoying your show keep it coming from the lawn mower Man
Hard to kill those inline engines. Good to see her running. Even more fun seeing the family enjoying themselves.
I thought she was dead for sure
No she's not dead those 232 and 258 AMC engines are virtually indestructible very much like the good old Chrysler 225 SLANT SIX,they hold up even better than today's engines.
You will never kill that engine once an AMC fan always an AMCfan.
Some homemade push bars on that tractor might be handy ? and the look on Ralphies face when firing up the tractor is priceless. :)
Yes he loves the tractor and I think you are absolutely correct on the push bars
Another awesome video. I really enjoy the fact that your entire family and even the animals are included in all your videos. I've enjoyed every video I watched. Keep up the great work! It keeps me coming back. I'm at a point where I'm looking forward to the next video. Which I'm assuming is a good thing. One of my top five UA-cam channels! Keep on Motoring brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really appreciate it. Thanks for watching

Got a little Colin Furze reference with the tiny hand.
I laughed seeing that thing come down the road. Too funny! 😊
It looks hilarious
The happy faces of your kids are very pleasing thanks for your videos
Thank you
Happy mother's day, Mrs Sleeper dude. Y'all should put a shaved ice machine in your van and set Ralphie and Wawa up with a summer job. 😊😆
That would be cool
Full service full station 🚉. Sir will you fill the oil drum and check the ⛽️ gas. Singing " on top of ol smokie" rolling thru the Walmart parking lot. Lol 😆 good memories! Great job!!!

Awesome
Great job at getting her going.I guess the 24 volt is the trick! It is really nice that the whole family is helping and driving the metro.Love seeing Rocky and his family!
Thank you
Yippee!!! I sure like that Mrs. Sleeperdude, " She ain't broke just cause she smokes," I'm happy now for you guys, and my Saturday just got alot better.
Thank you
This truck definitely could be something cool.
Idea, put the seats in the normal way but only use 2 of them, then you can have room in the back for cargo or animals.
You should LS it, then put in vintage air to stay cool, then turn it into your family Tow Rig.
Yeah sounds cool
Old AMCs never die! Old school rules! Greetings from Argentina 👍
Yep
Your family makes an awesome team. Very cool!
Thank you
Josh, Man to Man, I'm proud of you for spending time with family like you are. Awesome!
Thank you I try to be a good dad
Love the channel! Great to see the family involved and having fun. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
great parenting letting the girls have a go first in the van and welldone with getting it started!!!
Thank you
Awesome. I really enjoyed watching y'all working together. God Bless
Thank you
As I said in the past, do you have a beautiful family Josh and it’s so wonderful to see y’all spend so much time together. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t get to see Rocky drive today
Thank you I am blessed
I'm glad you came back to this one, it's a cute little thing lol. good job man
Thank you we really like it
This little van would be a great promotional vehicle for you. Just put all your social media contacts on the side then when you go to get timber or car parts etc you’ll be promoting your channels. I reckon it’s a keeper.
Yes good idea
I'm glad you got it running. Need to cut some legs off the other seats and weld them on the other ones..
Yes gonna work on that soon got seat belts on order as well
I hope your kids look back on this and realize just how cool their parents are!!! Love the goats, can't stand the wieners but I do remember the RC colas. Will have to go find them again. LOVE your family videos.
Yes I hope so too, thank you
Awesome video man. Love to see you and your family all spending time together. There's not enough of that these days.
Yeah your right thanks for watching
I love your videos. Not many people would have gone back. Cool too see that old girl riding around again
Yes I couldn’t believe it
Always love the SD family!!
Thank you really appreciate it
That's awesome glad you tried to get it to run again..
Thank you yes I couldn’t believe it worked
@@Sleeperdude yeah that sucker was turning over fast with 24v
Ran pretty good, I think you guys should have more subscribers, you get the whole family Involved
Yes hopefully soon
I did not think this old girl had a chance to even run at all. I still think the engine is in need of a complete rebuild if that is even possible, the crank my be beyond machining. So much blow by pushing past the rings into the crankcase, the valve cover was releasing all that blow by, it looked like a choo choo train. Great job hanging in there and not giving up, loved it.
Yeah your probably right
Happy Mother's Day to Sleepermamma! Also great video guys! I love Ralphies head band at 7:03!
Thank you

A new family hauler! And if the kids get out of line , just give the steering wheel a jab left or right , that will get there attention. Well done, keep it running.
Yes your right Thank you
How can that not put a smile on your face? Love it. Thanks, folks.
Thanks Bill
Probably a good idea to have a winch in the shop to help with the cars up the ramps 🤔
Yes need to get on that we actually have one to install just need the time
Great fun when it started up! The way you say ole instead of oil is cool.
Thank you
You're getting your family involved with lots of memories that your children will remember long after.
Yes we try to
If someone hasn't already said it, when you were trying to check the timing and your timing light wasn't picking up the fire, it wouldn't have fired on number one since you didn't have the lighting wire grounded as it would be if it was connected to the sparkalator.

That thing has so much potential as a concession van for the kids business , I would not paint it , just have some signs made for the sides and back door come up with a good name and it could take the kids lol the way through high school and you ever know where it could take them ?
Yes I think your right
@@Sleeperdude for the sign on the concession van , picture of Rocky and all the baby goats and name it , Rocky's family snow cones !
I know this would be a stretch but if you could contact a local maker of animal crackers and get them to make a run of Rocky's favorites in small bags the kids could sell out of the van . Just trying to brain storm this idea with not much brain to work with !! Lol
One of the things I like best about your channel is how much fun your family has with simple things! More power too you.
Thank you
Great video the 24v made it spin so fast 😂👍
I know right
This truck is so beautiful and you guys make it greater.
Thank you
My 1st thought would be full custom build on air suspension, Dayton wire wheels and ( because I'm an avid car stereo guy who competes and just enjoys loud music) a full sound system.
Then I got to thinking, if you are old enough to remember the video game, this would be I killer candidate for a Twisted Metal creation
that would be nice however they dont seem to have budget for that
Yeah it does remind me of the twisted metal van
@@Sleeperdude thats sweet tooth's van your thinking of
That is one sweet ride. You should give it a red, white and blue paint job. Very Americana. The family seemed to really enjoy the ride. Great video.
Thank you yes they like this one
Much love to you and your Christian Family. Ya'll are a Hoot to watch!
Thank you
Cool to see it on the road again
Yes thank you
That must bee a magic motor .
It run good too .
The truck look solid except for the little holes in the floor .
So fun to watch you're all in this video making this truck live again .
And Ralph is testing his magic flip flops and they work too .
Is there a drivers-seat for that truck ?
No drivers seat yet we are gonna get one soon. Yeah not bad at all especially for stuff we buy 😄and the motor sounds way better now that was surprising
@@Sleeperdude Yes it was surprising that it can run and it seams lika a good motor too.
It was great news .
Awesome to see you take such a positive attitude to everyone responses. Great video
Thank you
You know , I can see making this into a snow cone truck for the kids to drive up to school or church functions a have a little business to teach them some real world lessons !! As they earn their way alone , they could add other things like drinks and snacks ,making it a real concession stand !!

Wawa will need to get used to driving on right hand side if she has her sights set on Australia
She definitely has her heart set on Australia now she had some chocolate covered pineapple chunks
Great video , the truck is awesome.....thats your merchandise selling rig for the swap meets.
I laughed out loud when the baby hand appeared and started trying to open up the battery cable package.
The videos are very enjoyable and always put a smile on my face. Beautiful Family.

I’m glad you liked it thank you
What a coo mommy van:) You need to get it running more reliable and let mom drive the kids to school in it. :) Great video keep them coming. pilotcropduster
Yes she told them next school year they would be riding in it
I love how the entire family excited about those projects just as you Josh nuff blessings sleeper family🙏💪💪🙏

Very cool but where did the names squeeze and wa wa come from
I have nicknames for everyone
it`s good to see the whole family enjoying the same thing, ( working on car`s ) now day`s, kidos that age don`t know what it is like to be doing anything out doors. they have their face planted down at their hand held devices. you are blessed my friend.
Thank you
Instead of 24v. Use the flux capacitor and a bolt of lightning :)
Exactly
I made a camper out of that same model. I bought it from usps at auction. Re arched the 4 leaf springs and added a spring all around, that van would go anywhere. Great truck.
That’s awesome
That 51 year old carberated 232 idles better than my injected 300 ford.
That’s awesome
Congratulations on saving another one and another great video. You fooled me for a second with that plastic hand. It's great that you're saving all these old vehicles but I think the bigger picture is the memories you're making with your children. Years from now when they've left the nest or when you go onto your reward they'll always have these videos to look back on and relive the good times
I’m glad you liked it, I hope they do
15:23 go to a truck store to get bigger cables.
Ok thanks
That old postal van is my favorite of all your old cars.
It is neat
24 volts will fry the starter if you crank on it to much
Yep for sure
I can't believe this video how wonderful it is. the expression on your kids faces during the video. the enjoyment all of you are getting. and to top it off the exotic animals just blow me away. everything is so genuine and real.

Thank you so much really appreciate the kind words
Glad you got that one running. It will be a sweet project.
Thank you
Love it! "Give yourself a hand", or a bigger hand, or 2 bigger hands.
That’s funny
Fun for the entire family...again!
👍👍👍👍
Yes thank you
You need a winch or a block n tackle mounted on the back wall of the shop. But you got some strong youngins. So, that works.
Yes we do
What fun! "Time for a speed run" I was cracking up. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching
That was brilliant and the whole family was there too which makes it even more special, well done guys 👍👍
Thank you
I am so glad you got the truck running . the hole family helping out.

Thank you
It was a pleasure spending Sunday morning with your family and that van
Thank you really appreciate it
Great video . It's nice to see all the family out working with you. Plus rocky and the dogs. The girls getting to drive the van that was cool.
Thank you I appreciate it
The most important of this video is the family time. Good videos , bonita familia.
That’s true thank you
I love that your whole family gets involved.. such a great thing. Good memories.. good job on getting this a new life.

From the first time it barked off I immediately thought yess it’s gonna run I was so happy 😁.

For sure thank you
It will just run better and better the more its drove. At first I thought it was a old ice cream truck. Really cool rig!
Thank yoh
When I was a trucker I hauled many casings and even raw rubber. I love the smell. Hauled for Firestone, Michelin. It’s like a skunk that hasn’t so much been whalloped but just issued a stern warning…
