I'm always looking for old classic semi trucks to save and restore. I'm also always looking for trucks or parts Detroit Diesel related. If you have one that needs to be saved or you know of one you can drop me an email at the following address: Ol2Stroker@gmail.com
Be sure to check out our website ol2stroker.com for truck parts and merch!

A buddy of mine has his own little excavating/dirt work business and has one of those old ferds in dump truck form. He keeps it beautiful, had it for decades, checks the fluids every morning, regular maintenance……and then she spun a bearing on him 🤣 dirty devil!

Do a search for Holmes 650/750 tow truck/wrecker. I have driven trucks with Holmes 650 (20Ton) wrecker on them and Holmes 750 (25 Ton) wrecker on them and they are awesome as well as being as tough as woodpecker lips.

@Ol2Stroker oh, but of course. I get a kick out of the stuff you get. I've been asked before, what are you going to do with that or do you really need that or my favorite, what are you looking to by now. My favorite answer to the last one is, " I don't know till I see it." Doing the marketplace scroll. I have my far share of junk. My stuff is the size of hot wheels car compared to you having Tonka trucks. Lol

Old cummins tend to smoke until worked some. You can run a short wire jumper from the starter to the shut off selenoid to bypass the finicky ignition switch.
I have absolutely no use for an LTL but man do I want one to just cruise around in. They're just a stout looking rig.

I was in Saratoga springs this weekend, woulda stopped in had I known how close I was.
This is my childhood hands down favorite Ford AMERICAN BUMPER in Ionia MI. Had a fleet of six white l9000 like this they would drive through my little burg on their way north to retrieve stampings from next town north in the morning while I would wait for the bus. Usually see one or two a day for a while and one special day all 6 cruised by! I was in hog heaven.. '90 or '91
Wow you have Detroit caterpillar and Cummins all capable of smoke that makes you waneo a equal opportunity offender great job .carry on
I love them L9000’s. Badass. Good find man
I'm with you, the LTL's just have a good look, always been a favorite of mine. Like others have said, that White Western Star tow truck is just mint. Loved to see that.

Hello Wayne! I sold furniture door to door until 2005ish! We were the few that went long driveways. Always made customers happy. Never gipped anyone. Surprised I didn't meet you!
we always liked the gauge pack on those 9000s. switch panal as well,
Great video Wayne another one for the collection. At least it runs and the cab is in way better shape than the Race truck. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.
Smokey and The Bandit springs to mind in your cool videos 😎
I love ltls. Grew up with em
That wrecker looked bad ass!!
I still believe in those door-to-door sales. After seeing our on-line b.s./delivery. Imagine a salesman selling Walmart products. Least we can hack and see what we're buying. . Offer a Cold Glass of lemonade/w x-lax/Castor oil. 😂

I've got one of them sitting right here in my garage. It's been a great truck. I think I've had it 16 years. 270k miles on it. Hey that Western Star with the Holmes 750 on it and the Detroit power. That looks like the perfect truck for you. Did you????????? BTW all that white smoke, it seems like it's late. Did someone put a Step Time motor in it?

@@Ol2Stroker step timing control or STC was what they did to the big cam right before they started making the N14. It was some kind of early attempt at emission control. Is the fuel rail pressure increased it retarded the fuel injection timing. Sometimes it screwed up and the timing stayed retarded even at low fuel rail pressures like when your idling. The late timing would make a lot of white smoke at idle

Now im just saying but ford did make some sexy ass rigs way back
Back in their day they were a world better than a GMC General
I love the FORD LTL design, too, because it looks like it has plenty of room in the engine bay to fit a Scania V8 with a supercharger on it and turbochargers. If I had the spaceand a ton of greenbacks, I'd be makin' a custom rustbucket ratrod rig out of one. Kinda like a mix between the Peterbilt narrow nose from the movie Duel (1971) and an Aussie/Kiwi roadtrain look. A freakin' American/Swedish Frankenstein truck. Oooh, with a firetruck horn too like the mini COE from Jeepers Creepers. A Wolo Chief if memory serves. Haha.

at the beginning you lifted out of one set of cut off them do they not fit then?

Custom gangster lean door handle 👍🏻 that is custom
What constitutes a “big cam” engine. Obviously it is a bigger camshaft, but how much bigger? And how do you know? When I hear “big cam” I am always reminded of the term “3/4 race cam” on old cars.
At least you could have turned the wipers on 😂😂
So is the plan to transfer the body work to the race truck? Looks like it's good for that and part out the rest.

A vintage truck being towed by a vintage truck, how awesome is that? Oh, wait, I just called those trucks "vintage" and I'm older than either of those trucks! That is one way cool Western Star. So, what are we working on today? Not just junk, Ford junk! Ford L-series is a bit strange. It seems Ford designed them to only use V-8 gasoline or diesel engines. To get the highly popular Cummins inline 6 into the L-series, the engine has to be tilted slightly onto its right side. Ford engineering. They were built Ford tough, with steel cabs that rusted out. Woohoo! A Greta cameo appearance. LOL! Yeah, it smokes... a little. Yep, shake hands with danger, it's not fun unless danger is involved. I agree, parts truck, it would take a lot of money and time to make it a road worthy truck, but it has plenty of usable parts.
Did you buy the Star too if so it’d be a good candidate for one of your 8V92s. Rears act like they’re locked 🔒 up. Junk 😂

I used to drive a big cam Cummins. Was a gutless, ticky clacky piece of shit. Was a Cummins reman that ran like that since day 1. Always started. I never plugged it in. Was in Alaska. Scary moving heavy stuff with a gutless truck. Lol
