Your channel makes me miss those times with my boys when they were little. So valuable, so don't blink too much or you'll wake up and be 45 with adult children.
I love that your videos include so much interaction with your family and that you don't gloss over or exclude the problems that one is bound to have when doing something like this. True family entertainment! 👍🇱🇷
I believe that car has been sitting with the wheels buried to the frame in mud or in a flood. With those brake lines caked into the frame, brakes and drums rusted, and the transmission looked like it had water/ mud in it. And the trunk floor rusted out, it adds up to mud/ flood. I love those older model Fords. They will run the stripes off a zebra. I love watching you work on these old cars because I grew up with my grandfather who was a mechanic and I was like Ralphie. I went under them with him and as a kid I could take a motor apart and put it back like new. I'm 77 years old now and still love it. Of course I can't do the work now but sure enjoy watching you do it.
I have a 1967 Galaxie 500 2 door fastback with a 289, and I did the 390 FE swap. I can tell you that the standard issue I've seen on the water pumps is that the old-timers had overheating issues on those old FE's and that they were constantly filling or fiddling with the radiator or cooling system in general. That's why your fill tank was clogged as well. Typically the more motors you see, you'll see the last two cylinders on the FE's, get more heat saturation. That's why you see a lot of collapsed lifters, bent pushrods, worn valve guides, and sticky valves. Great video.👍
My Dad had a FORD GALAXY 500. It was red with a black vinyl top. He's been gone since 1988. So i can't ask him any questions about it. And those jump start booster packs are a real life saver. Just remember to leave it in the vehicle that you are driving. For that matter get one for every car you drive.
It's great to see the Galaxy run again! The 390 sounds strong and the burnout is one of the best on UA-cam. excellent job Sleeperdude Ralfie and rocky.
When I was about Ralphie's age the neighbors had a 64 Galaxie the same color as yours parked in the alley outside our back fence. I used to sit in it and pretend I was driving all over the place. One day I got out of it and when I slammed the door shut my thumb was in the door. My thumb put the door in a bind and it wouldn't open up. I had to yell and scream for dad to come and get the door open. It ended up breaking my thumb. What was most embarrassing was I was the piano player at our church and I couldn't play with a broken thumb. Everybody in the church and at school found out what I did and deviled the daylights out of me for the stupid thing I had done. Tell Ralphie to not get his finger in the door because it hurts like heck ! You guys are awesome.
The first car I ever remember my Dad had was a 64 ford Galaxy convertible. I remember seeing those tail lights always backing up the driveway when my father would come home.
Hey Brother, great discovery with the Posi Rear!! Every time I replaced an FE engine in my 63 & 64 Galaxies, I pulled the valve covers. If they were covered in sludge (which they always were!), an old timer told me to run 3 qts of kerosene, two quarts of oil and a new filter. Let engine come up to temp, shut down and repeat process. Every time I've done this, when I remove the valve covers, the rockers were spotless. I HATED those expansion tanks!!! For some reason they always blew out the seams. Couldn't figure out why.
I love your videos include so much interaction with your family and that you dont gloss over or exclude the problems that one is bound to have when doing something like this. True family entertainment and you are a perfect restorer .
I love 64 Ford galaxy 500. I’ve been wanting one for years. My late brother had a four-door 64 Ford galaxy. It was all decked out now but that’s also the year I was born with 1964.
Anti-freeze always ends up on the floor. Sometimes you see little bubbles of transmission fluid floating on top. Dad had a 1967 Galaxie 500 with an identical water pump. He put about 60,000 miles on it and never had a problem with the water pump. I just love watching these old Ford engines brought back to life. Out west of town in Wadesville, there is a 1966 Ford pickup truck with a 360 engine in it. It is not the original engine. I wish I had the space to bring it back to life. My '55 Chevy has front disc brakes with 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass front spindles. It has an old single-stage Chevrolet brake master cylinder and does just fine with the front disc calipers. I have good, solid pedal. A couple of years ago I had to replace the long brake line that goes across the differential. It had rubbed a hole in the brake line. Ralphie should be out there with you while you are packing those bearings. He is such a fortunate young man. All your kids are! I love that car and wish I had one.
@@Sleeperdude I know he is. Wonder what he will eventually want to have to drive when he gets in high school? If I were him, I would fix that Falcon up with a 289 V-8. Kind of like a Nova but Ford power. Of course, by the time he is in high school who knows how expensive gas will be? Nevertheless, I am sure he is picking things up by osmosis to where he will know what to do when he actually starts turning wrenches. I really like the way he is into detailing the cars like when you guys went on that trip.
This car sounds like a beast! Glad you made them rear tires round again. Much love from Southern California! Ralphie ducking behind the car when you open sodas has be cracking up. Keep up the good work!
Not sure how in the world I found your channel but so glad I did. You, Ralphie and the rest of the crew are top notch. Thank you! Subscribed and liked each video. Looking over your merch. Awesome channel!
I had a 63.5 Galaxie500xl in high school… What a car she was! I had a time with that radiator reservoir.. I had to buy a new/used one to replace it.. It caused my car to run hot once🤦♂️ Love the videos brother!
FYI. Vinegar and water 50%/ 50% will eat rust off. I use it when I get an cast iron skillet and it has rust. You just should not leave it on for more then 30 min. Then use a wire brush. If it doesn’t all come off repeat the process. I love your channel. The interaction with your kids is wonderful. You are great parents. There should be more parents like you maybe we wouldn’t have so many problems in the world.
Awesome video man! Nothing like the sound of an old big block Ford with open headers. It really runs darn good and no smoke after sitting all that time. Those brakes were the absolute worst I have ever seen, and I've restored a few cars. I love watching you would and seeing your beautiful family!
I've been subscribed for around a year or so now, but the last couple months I've been really getting into your videos, so I figured why not time travel and watch some classics before the new upload
I had a '64 Galaxie in college. It was a 352. I through a rod driving on the highway driving home. I traded it away. I wish I hadn't done that. It was a land yacht, but I really loved the look of it. I hope you give her a good home. I'd love to find another. Cheers.
Your channel just popped up today. what got me hooked was the falcon speedometer 40 50 60 50 40 30 been binge watching all day long Love the content RV is the best been laughing my butt off Great content God bless!
Brandon, I was born in 66, and my parents had a 64 Galaxy Country Squire station wagon similar to the Country Sedan you have, but we had the wood paneling, AC, ect. Dad traded it in in 71 when I was 5, but I do remember my parents talking about how they had to replace the water pump several times during the 7 yrs they had it.
I have never in my life run into a car full of that much rust inside the brakes. That almost looks like it was sitting in a swamp for years. It's just fun to get old cars to run and drive for the first time in 30 yrs. Thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it yes the brakes were a mess.. it actually was in a junkyard for the last 30 years no swamps .. I think this is how brakes really are on cars that really have been sitting that long.
That was me that sent you the new lone wolf 6000 starter switch. lol If you get a good alternator on that rig you can get you power for the choke from the stator post on a Ford. Keep up the good vids!
Love your videos , so entertaining. I actually learn some things. You and Vice Grip Garage should get together and do something. Now that would be double entertaining. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We had ours last month.
If all else fails, you can go to a shop that makes hydraulic hoses of all kinds and they most likely can make you some flexible brake lines. Just make sure to bring all the fittings if you cut the line or broke it. You might have a limited slip posi diff in that thing. I saw just one wheel spin a couple of times at the beginning and switch back and forth before both locked in. What a burnout! Make sure you have all that water out of the engine and don't take chances. I saw a guy ruin a fresh rebuild leaving straight water in it. He didn't have antifreeze and he used water. Then it froze that night. Love the car and it really sounds pretty good.
Dude, I clearly recall my Aunt Mary in 1964 getting a brand new red colored Ford Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop...it was beautiful...I was 10 years old and remember this car exactly.
I just found your channel a few weeks ago I love it it’s a lot of fun with the family and the pets and now you got me hooked on these Vienna sausage I like the smoke ones are real good I have not been able to find the jalapeño or the hot and spicy ones I’ve looked everywhere thanks for the fun times you guys to kids are really a trip man I love them
Josh & Ralphie did again! Your 1 tough country boy those Tennessee winters ain't no joke. You should have a t-shirt made ( paving your driveway 1 burnout at a time) lol 😂 great job as always, love your you tube channel! I'm definitely going to have to have 1 of those lithium jump tools.
Clutch packs in the transmission might be stuck seen it happen once on a demo car, we pulled it backwards with the car in reverse until the clutch pack broke free.
So glad you ended up with this car ended up with you. Not many people in the world that are crazy enough to put this much effort, money and time into it.
Hey Sleeperdude. That engine looks like a 66 or later 390 ci. My dad had a 66 Galaxie with a 390 ci and your engine looks identical to what I remember of his. The 390 was Fords go to performance motor for several years until the 406 in the 63 Galaxie came out to compete with the 409 Chevrolet in NASCAR races. Then of course the 427, 428, 429 Fords. I think Steve McQueens 67 Mustang in the movie Bullit had a 390 ci with a Tripower set up. That 390 was a good strong motor. Sounds good. 👌🏻
I know it's been a minute since you posted this...but, my hack for catching the majority of the coolant...is to use like a long Sterlite under-bed tote, from like Wal-Mart. It covers a wide area, and it's deep enough to hold all of it. Now emptying it, without spilling it, is another matter. 😂
That's so cool that you rescued it! I hope you continue restoring it. Maybe it could be in a museum somewhere someday unless you decide to keep it. One of my relatives had a newer version of this car a long time ago.
First Merry Christmas to Y’all family. That 390 is a powerhouse potential. When you pulled it out with the truck it loosens the transmission drums and freed up the reverse drum and started working. I love the longer videos lot better content than the 20 minute videos much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing more of the Galaxy 500 content can’t wait to see you clean it up. I like when you involve your kids to participate to help you and spend time with them. You’re a good father and May you have a Blessed One Sir.
I like the music you use when you work on the cars. Reminds me of when I was a kid watching fix-it shows on early Cable channels. Really upbeat sounds. lol Keep up the good work. You and your son Ralphie make a good team. You work, He advices. One day he'll make a great coach.
My first car in 1970 was a 1964 Ford Galaxie with a 292 in it! I really miss those days! It was a dark tan color with matching interior! I loved that car!
Awesome!!! Have you look to see what the casting number is on the block? That 390 was probably close to 315-320hp, when new. Great video, thanks for sharing it with us. I’m looking forward to the new one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Im pretty good at hitting the pan. I’m currently doing my first engine swap/build inside of a storage unit. I live in an apartment so it’s all I have for the winter. 96’ s10 going from a 350 to a 383.
take it from someone that grew up with a Dad who loved car`s and was alway`s trading car`s and working on them. what you are doing, you kid`s will never forget. these are good time`s with your kid`s. and they will in the future ( LORD WILLING ) talk about these fun time`s doing burn out`s and driving in the field with their Dad. keep on keeping on my friend. May God keep Blessing you and your family
I have loved those old Galaxies ever since I was a kid and watched Sheriff Andy Griffith driving one in Mayberry. My Dad had a similar car ( a 1966 Ford LTD with a 352) but it didn't look as nice as the 64 Galaxie!
Such a good lookin car. Between u and derek from VGG, yall make me wanna ressurect old cars. Down fall is no place to do it. My uncle gave me a 87 f250 4x4, he bought it new. It sat for 15 yrs because the fuel pump went out. I replaced it n it ran good. Started drivin it n it gets better every day. The only brake parts ive had issues with is where the pass side hardline goes thru the frame, it just rotted in half. Otherwise, the brakes work perfect. Got lucky with the soft lines
When you see the Rube Goldberg contraption look of those drum brakes it's a miracle they ever work. I started doing my own drums when I was 16 and I don't think they changed at all in 60 years. (I'm not 76, but I've seen the ancient drum brakes, pretty much the same.)
I remember being taught to do drum brakes after trying to avoid them altogether. My instructor put me on a car with 4-wheel drums, told me to do one side at a time and start with the front. By the time it was over, I was old hat! 👍 CHEERS! 🇱🇷
@@armedinbama Definitely have to have one side to use as reference, at first. I think I still have my spring-stretcher and my retainer pin depresser/twister out in my tool chest.
@@townhall05446 You know what that means, right? Same thing it means when you know what a 45-RPM adapter is for. 😁 From one old guy to another, CHEERS! 🇱🇷
WOW !!! - you had me grin-n from ear to ear - look out vice grip garage there's a new sheriff in town - and 64's are my favorite year bar none - she's a handsome old dude - I see a bright future ahead - well done
Dude, either that Ford has a super tight limited slip diff or a spool. When you were on the grass, that inside tire was turning faster than it should. Love this car
Killer burnout! I just knew those casings were gonna explode, but they hung in there! That car is rough around the edges but would make a great driver.
Woww FROM DIRTY RUSTY to * BURN-OUT TYRES ...! great advanture for 60 years old car ...! regards from kuala lumpur ...! # Do your content weekly we mis you all during our past time...!
Great video the burnout was the best. I have to agree with you on the single master cylinder l was driving back from my HS prom picnic in my 64 Ford Country Squire Wagon with 10 classmates and the cylinder quit emergency brake all the way back home 60 miles scared the hell out of me but made it safely
"That goat ain't right" - Hank Hill. Great video!
Thank you
Great to see someone put all the time, money and effort into bringing old cars back to life just to sit and tear it back up I’m the driveway!
Your channel makes me miss those times with my boys when they were little. So valuable, so don't blink too much or you'll wake up and be 45 with adult children.
Thank you
man peeling that undercoat is so satisfying. So clean underneath. Almost makes you wanna peel it all off, then recoat it
Josh having a really crappy day really depressed I gotta get out of the house and do something but the burn out gave me a 10 mile long smile thank you
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
I love that your videos include so much interaction with your family and that you don't gloss over or exclude the problems that one is bound to have when doing something like this. True family entertainment! 👍🇱🇷
Thank you
Eeeds
❤
that's pure love for classic cars, buddy. God bless you.
Thank you
I believe that car has been sitting with the wheels buried to the frame in mud or in a flood. With those brake lines caked into the frame, brakes and drums rusted, and the transmission looked like it had water/ mud in it. And the trunk floor rusted out, it adds up to mud/ flood. I love those older model Fords. They will run the stripes off a zebra. I love watching you work on these old cars because I grew up with my grandfather who was a mechanic and I was like Ralphie. I went under them with him and as a kid I could take a motor apart and put it back like new. I'm 77 years old now and still love it. Of course I can't do the work now but sure enjoy watching you do it.
That’s great, thank you for watching
I have a 1967 Galaxie 500 2 door fastback with a 289, and I did the 390 FE swap. I can tell you that the standard issue I've seen on the water pumps is that the old-timers had overheating issues on those old FE's and that they were constantly filling or fiddling with the radiator or cooling system in general. That's why your fill tank was clogged as well. Typically the more motors you see, you'll see the last two cylinders on the FE's, get more heat saturation. That's why you see a lot of collapsed lifters, bent pushrods, worn valve guides, and sticky valves. Great video.👍
Ok thank you for the info
That is the most ridiculous thing I have read today .
Thank you for your videos, you help me and inspire me to get classic vehicles back on the road and nothings dead until its buried
That’s right keep up the good work
My Dad had a FORD GALAXY 500. It was red with a black vinyl top. He's been gone since 1988. So i can't ask him any questions about it. And those jump start booster packs are a real life saver. Just remember to leave it in the vehicle that you are driving. For that matter get one for every car you drive.
Yeah that’s a good plan
It's great to see the Galaxy run again! The 390 sounds strong and the burnout is one of the best on UA-cam. excellent job Sleeperdude Ralfie and rocky.
Thank you
When I was about Ralphie's age the neighbors had a 64 Galaxie the same color as yours parked in the alley outside our back fence. I used to sit in it and pretend I was driving all over the place. One day I got out of it and when I slammed the door shut my thumb was in the door. My thumb put the door in a bind and it wouldn't open up.

Everybody in the church and at school found out what I did and deviled the daylights out of me for the stupid thing I had done.

That’s a crazy story I will tell him thanks for watching
The first car I ever remember my Dad had was a 64 ford Galaxy convertible. I remember seeing those tail lights always backing up the driveway when my father would come home.
That’s cool
Hey Brother, great discovery with the Posi Rear!! Every time I replaced an FE engine in my 63 & 64 Galaxies, I pulled the valve covers. If they were covered in sludge (which they always were!), an old timer told me to run 3 qts of kerosene, two quarts of oil and a new filter. Let engine come up to temp, shut down and repeat process. Every time I've done this, when I remove the valve covers, the rockers were spotless.
I HATED those expansion tanks!!! For some reason they always blew out the seams. Couldn't figure out why.
The one engine I've ever seen with clean valve covers ended up dropping a valve on me🙄
Wrong cap, pressure rating too high.
use of paraffin based oils caused alotta problems in the ford big blocks....poor crankcase ventilation...as well
I'm not a Ford guy but that old 390 is a tire killer!!!!....💯💪🏽
I’m glad you liked it

So glad you ended up with this car ended up with you. Not many people in the world that are crazy enough to put this much effort, money and time into it.
Hey Sleeperdude. That engine looks like a 66 or later 390 ci. My dad had a 66 Galaxie with a 390 ci and your engine looks identical to what I remember of his. The 390 was Fords go to performance motor for several years until the 406 in the 63 Galaxie came out to compete with the 409 Chevrolet in NASCAR races. Then of course the 427, 428, 429 Fords. I think Steve McQueens 67 Mustang in the movie Bullit had a 390 ci with a Tripower set up. That 390 was a good strong motor. Sounds good. 👌🏻
I think you are right
I know it's been a minute since you posted this...but, my hack for catching the majority of the coolant...is to use like a long Sterlite under-bed tote, from like Wal-Mart. It covers a wide area, and it's deep enough to hold all of it.
Now emptying it, without spilling it, is another matter. 😂
That's so cool that you rescued it! I hope you continue restoring it. Maybe it could be in a museum somewhere someday unless you decide to keep it. One of my relatives had a newer version of this car a long time ago.
Thanks we are going to continue to work on it
Old Fords never die they just keep rolling on, great video, I'm a Ford Fanatic too.
Awesome thank you
i have a 1964 Galxie 500 aswell and it hasnt been licensed since 1989, i love thris and it just gave me hope for mine!
That’s great keep up the good work .
All your videos remind me of my childhood, and although it’s fun to watch, I’m glad I have new daily drivers! Haha keep up the good content.
First Merry Christmas to Y’all family.
That 390 is a powerhouse potential. When you pulled it out with the truck it loosens the transmission drums and freed up the reverse drum and started working. I love the longer videos lot better content than the 20 minute videos much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing more of the Galaxy 500 content can’t wait to see you clean it up. I like when you involve your kids to participate to help you and spend time with them. You’re a good father and May you have a Blessed One Sir.
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you too
Hey great find..64 Galaxy 500 with a 390 cid. Hot Damn! Love It. Careful you don't blower up before you even go anywhere! 😂
Thank you
"Porin one out for the Homies" cracked me up... Well done Sleeper dude !
I’m glad you liked it thanks
I like the music you use when you work on the cars. Reminds me of when I was a kid watching fix-it shows on early Cable channels. Really upbeat sounds. lol
Keep up the good work. You and your son Ralphie make a good team. You work, He advices. One day he'll make a great coach.
I’m glad you like it, I hope he does thanks
Ralphie is gonna be a great mechanic. He’s got great dexterity and motor skills.
You should see how he is with wifey when I’m not home he tells her everything to do that’s car/shop related it’s hilarious
@@Sleeperdude so awesome!
My first car in 1970 was a 1964 Ford Galaxie with a 292 in it! I really miss those days! It was a dark tan color with matching interior! I loved that car!
That’s cool
Man I didnt even know you posted. Been helping Dad build a shed today. Looking forward to it
Oh man
Awesome!!! Have you look to see what the casting number is on the block? That 390 was probably close to 315-320hp, when new. Great video, thanks for sharing it with us. I’m looking forward to the new one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No I need to do that
Im pretty good at hitting the pan. I’m currently doing my first engine swap/build inside of a storage unit. I live in an apartment so it’s all I have for the winter. 96’ s10 going from a 350 to a 383.
Awesome
take it from someone that grew up with a Dad who loved car`s and was alway`s trading car`s and working on them. what you are doing, you kid`s will never forget. these are good time`s with your kid`s. and they will in the future ( LORD WILLING ) talk about these fun time`s doing burn out`s and driving in the field with their Dad. keep on keeping on my friend. May God keep Blessing you and your family

Yep
Please don't get rid of that car... It is a true treasure... Lon from Ohio....
Yes it is
I love fords, you can always make them run, love your crew. even rocky, stay safe
Yep thank you
I have loved those old Galaxies ever since I was a kid and watched Sheriff Andy Griffith driving one in Mayberry. My Dad had a similar car ( a 1966 Ford LTD with a 352) but it didn't look as nice as the 64 Galaxie!
my 64 had a 390. Tank City! Great show!
Thank you
Great video guys man I thought that thing was gonna beat u josh, well done 👍💖 keep up the good work 👍 have a good Sunday 👍 xx
Thanks! You too!
Such a good lookin car. Between u and derek from VGG, yall make me wanna ressurect old cars. Down fall is no place to do it.
My uncle gave me a 87 f250 4x4, he bought it new. It sat for 15 yrs because the fuel pump went out. I replaced it n it ran good. Started drivin it n it gets better every day. The only brake parts ive had issues with is where the pass side hardline goes thru the frame, it just rotted in half. Otherwise, the brakes work perfect. Got lucky with the soft lines
That’s great thank you
Awesome video I cannot believe that that car fought you all the way Especially that dad burn Transmission
Thank you yes it did
LOVE the videos keep them coming and the kids are the best part ,you do good also but the family involvement is the part I love!!!!
Thank you I’m glad you like it
When you see the Rube Goldberg contraption look of those drum brakes it's a miracle they ever work. I started doing my own drums when I was 16 and I don't think they changed at all in 60 years. (I'm not 76, but I've seen the ancient drum brakes, pretty much the same.)
I remember being taught to do drum brakes after trying to avoid them altogether. My instructor put me on a car with 4-wheel drums, told me to do one side at a time and start with the front. By the time it was over, I was old hat! 👍
CHEERS! 🇱🇷
@@armedinbama Definitely have to have one side to use as reference, at first. I think I still have my spring-stretcher and my retainer pin depresser/twister out in my tool chest.
@@townhall05446 You know what that means, right? Same thing it means when you know what a 45-RPM adapter is for. 😁
From one old guy to another, CHEERS! 🇱🇷

I love that 64. Your videos are amazing love the content keep pulling them out and getting them on the road!!!!!
Ok thank you
WOW !!! - you had me grin-n from ear to ear - look out vice grip garage there's a new sheriff in town - and 64's are my favorite year bar none - she's a handsome old dude - I see a bright future ahead - well done
Thank you
@@kajem575 Good question - Do you think that in the process of being reborn the old him/her has come back woke? - that's scary
Killer burn out ! Can't wait to see more on this cool 64' , Hi Rocky and friends !!
Hello !!! Thanks for watching
I wish my dad or my family taught me how to be a mechanic When I was a kid.
God bless your family ✝️🧑🏼🔧
Thank you
The Burn was well worth the watch! Ralfie responded like he is still grounded. More Rocky if possible !
Thank you I appreciate it
i love watching this long videos thank you for making them have a great day :)
I’m glad you enjoyed them thank you
Dude, either that Ford has a super tight limited slip diff or a spool. When you were on the grass, that inside tire was turning faster than it should. Love this car
Yeah I’m not sure thanks
Killer burnout! I just knew those casings were gonna explode, but they hung in there! That car is rough around the edges but would make a great driver.
Ralphie was upset that we didn’t pop a casing… thanks for watching
Woww FROM DIRTY RUSTY to * BURN-OUT TYRES ...! great advanture for 60 years old car ...! regards from kuala lumpur ...! # Do your content weekly we mis you all during our past time...!
Thank you
Great job, that old Ford done come up in your shop and took a major dump. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Thanks for watching
Another great video!👍 Always enjoy the family and animals and no obnoxious music 🙂👍👍
Thank you
Great video the burnout was the best. I have to agree with you on the single master cylinder l was driving back from my HS prom picnic in my 64 Ford Country Squire Wagon with 10 classmates and the cylinder quit emergency brake all the way back home 60 miles scared the hell out of me but made it safely
That can get scary
