12 Year Old Buys His Own Project Truck.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.

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.

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.

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!
Ralphie is growing into such an amazing young man, kudos mom and dad.

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.

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.

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 KZread. The family, the animals are all amazing.
I'm old enough to remember the blizzard of seventy eight! I was six years old but I still remember vividly!
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
Ellie is just the sweetest pup! Dogs reflect their care, so y'all care for her real good!
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. 🙏🙏🙏

Dear Dillon family, It’s great to see how Ralphy loves the abandoned Ford F-150 running and driving so well an it’s a good truck for Ralphy to learn how to drive. The truck has an amazing sound but my wife WIlleke and I the truck needs to have an exhaust what’s making less noise. We look forward to your next vlog and send you love from The Netherlands
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.

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.
Love hearing y’all talk and the whole family is involved in all projects. Love the goats! Keep up the great content.
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
