12 Year Old Buys His Own Project Truck.

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.

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.

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

[@buddies8757]

Yeahh u can do thats if u have someone workhard for you hehehehe

[@mphyle]

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 KZbin.

[@Sleeperdude]

For sure I agree

[@kd5inm]

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.

[@ralphjones7531]

I agree sir!

[@RobertDickens2002]

@tomfuchary-rs8ou I agree probably also depends on how the kids were taught.

[@thIDthIRreenactor]

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)

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.

[@gymshoe8862]

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!

[@138NastyNate]

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.

[@Sleeperdude]

Good tip thanks

[@richardhill6125]

Colorado boy here and Nate is right with this tip!

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.

Get some simple green then spray and wipe on. Interior

[@kd5inm]

@@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.
