Gotta love them d60 series engines. It can sit for years and start no matter what. Call it sting ray.

Every good trucking company has an old classic truck parked out back that’s all custom and spotless. This truck will be sweet.

I have a 96 old Warner truck basically the same truck but mines have a 5 battery box it had the super 10 I took it out for the 13 double over 485hp 390s good performing truck it's been sitting a while too

I once bought a 96 w900 with 12.7 that sat for 6 years,did a pm and new tires and she 3 years headache free.

DIY Good afternoon For 25 years old is not bad, truck is an excelent money maker. Best regards

That’s a truck!

I want a daycab or small sleeper version of this to trick out some day

Wrap it as a rolling billboard for the diy semi fuel card. Don't worry about the cost because it's a write off

Spoiler alert.. I have some ideas similar

Damn. That truck is looking good. Those Classics are really easy to work on. Your truck has a great looking frame and rear axles. Especially for the year of the truck. A truck with hardly any rust is a big plus. Probably you want to get all the air problems fixed first After that. One problem at a time. Best of Luck with your new Ride. Will be waiting to see the progress. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸👍💯

Cool project

Looks like a lot of work. Can't wait to see it. Shame about the lights.. bet they looked awesome in the past.

Dam that engine is beast 😮

All motors should pop off like that 😊

Well she a very good start

Oh and have the charge air cooler tested too.

Yes!

Alright although we need #MoreFarmContent you are forgiven on this one. I am very interested in this series! Best of luck to you Boss!

It's alive!!!

Awesome 👌

Nice truck

Looks like it has good bones. The Mean Machine

nice truck . it will be a nice work truck.

I know it may seem like a lot but i would drop the entire drive line and have them balanced and put new joints and new carrier bearing in it.

Nice truck I’d start with the electrical so you know if the flux compactor is working properly! And also everyone always says how easy electrical is on trucks but it looks beyond complicated to me. Coolbreeze for the name

Try to wrap it yourself , I've been thinking about wrapping my w9. If you can do mechanical stuff than wrapping isn't difficult

Please straighten the pipes, that would drive me nuts every time I’d look at it!! Leave the upper bunk as you said, put your favorite recliner below or a dinette set, couch maybe??

Adam pull out all the stops on that interior that is Your personal space /driving /living / Sleeping / office space it needs to make you feel happy & in controll it needs to reflect your personality but you need to set it up for your driving / living / sleeping style Me I go by my middle name Edward ( ED ) you could call that sleeper space behind you Adams Retreat or Adams Lounge make it look like a classic truckstop diner as for the bumper I would get a hold of those chrome shop mafia guys in Joplin MO. And go with a new Montana Bull Hauler special super chrome slab center Mount tow pin and some super Hella Driving lights Years ago for me 1990s I drove a super 10 I did not like it I would swap out that for a 13 spd OD or the simplicity & convience of a Fleet proven 7spd what is important is your final drive ratio but any how you need a new cockpit full instrumentation to keep you tuned into what’s going on under the hood & floor your comfort & health are most important in that Cab I would go with a total enviromental control package maintain ambient temperatures & humidity / dehumidify and a super micron air particulate purification system and a premium extra firm memory matress And for your seats the driver seat should be cooled/ heated swivel Bostrom Air Vikings and a emergency door on the sleeper and a new Fontaine No Lube fifth wheel just to get started I know I have a wild imagination but if it’s going to be your dream truck Go big you only live once in this World we’ll have fun with it Adam maybe your Wife has some Custom ideas for you thanks for listening to my Rant

Don't forget ops, f a s s, PP Max mileage, and fleet air filters.

I'm not sure if that strut on the door holding the mirror is stock. I see potential otherwise.

Get rid of all unnecessary lights . If it's not mandatory take it off

Mean green is taken by my man, the tourette's trucker, he has a KZread channel, he pull tanker he is a great guy check him out

I’ve been subscriber of yours pretty much since day one. Really like your videos. But why in the world you purchased this old truck is a mystery to me? I’m sure You as a businessman know this: this truck lost half of its value since you bought it almost two years ago. And the worst part is, it continues to lose market value while you let it sit and collect dust on your backyard.

How do you compare older trucks to newer trucks aside from reliability?? Did you like the cascadia more with the auto? Were the fuel savings worth it given it has emissions system?

That old truck is much more reliable than any rig that's a few years old with DPF/DEF. Saw a 12.7 60 series get to 2.2 million miles before any overhaul was done, put two or three transmission in it normal suspension work every few years but no motor work before 2.2 million.

You have plenty of suggestions. It's been suggested the truck is a money pit. I disagree. Whatever you in invest and more will be returned if you were to sell it. Those classic trucks with those "bones " aren't depreciating.

How much would it cost to fix something like that. ?
