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

OK... let me see if I have this straight... You are the owner of a 1980 Peterbilt conventional big bunk long hood with a CAT 3408 and you are having a moment of hesitation about refurbishing the brakes. This project is a channel maker!! This is the big tent brother. The proper working up of the channel using the production model provided by TwinStick Garage will pay for anything and everything. Get focused and play follow the leader in reality truck building on TH-cam. Loving the content.
You are totally correct, when I see new content on the 80 Pete I click right away, this is my favorite truck he has, hope he does not get rid of this truck
Absolutely
To be honest I think Wayne should have a completely separate channel for the CAT power generally and in particular the long hood Peterbilt. There is no possible way for that formula to go wrong. One properly edited video each week around 30 minutes plus or minus... let's say Saturday and keep the crowd engaged rather than too much of nothing interesting which seems all too normal on other channels. I see the bones of a real show stopper truck. @@Anthony-qb2gr
I hope he does decide to get rid of that thing. I’ll buy it if he does.
Kitty sister to Mossy. Don't get rid of it Wayne, just tick away at her, it will be worth the blood sweat & tears
The 3408 and V12 cabover are what keeps me coming back!
Thanks!! The cabover is really my jam!
Man that's my dream truck with a V8 Cat.I even like that color scheme.
It's a really neat truck!
This is probably one of my top 3 spec peterbilts also. Paint, powertrain, wheelbase, it's all right
@@mintyman1968 really nicely specd truck
@@Ol2Stroker Yes sir... I spent a couple hours today at a friends place looking at some of the trucks him & his dad have in there, one of them is a 359 heavy hood with a V8 like this. 13 speed with 7 inch straight pipes. He says when he drives that,,, nobody stays closer than like 300 feet behind him because that thing just blows black with the slightest touch to the pedal!
@@mintyman1968 lol he must have it twisted up pretty good
I have seen a lot of twisted off driveshafts in my years, but that was pretty special, good thing you caught that on video.
Yea odd circumstances like zero load.
If you include measurements in your next video, there is a good chance a viewer will have one lying around cheap. Fame should help greatly with parts hunts. As I mentioned below, no matter how nice the truck, weed whackers are more relevant than Cats.
Wayne...At least it didn't happen on the test drive! Hope you and your family has a Great Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Brother keep this truck. For some reason the Cat 3408 seems to be everybody’s holy grail even though they are expensive and never made as much horsepower or torque as a lot of other engines. I drove one back in the early and mid 80’s and it’s still my favorite engine. In fact if you keep this truck I would come and work on it with you if you give me room and board. I don’t even drink anymore so you can have all of the beer for yourself. lol 😂
I hope you have a Merry Christmas and that all is well with you.
Merry Christmas man!! Thanks!
It doesn't want to leave uncle wayno! It knows it's safe in your hands!
Poll the audience on their favorite trucks and my hunch would be that this 3408 and the V12 Cabover would be the overall favorites. Can’t get enough of them
Definite channel builders.
Snap up a clapped out truck to part out for fun and profit once in a while ….but I could watch this truck all day long. Just my $0.2.
Six inch drive... that's... yeah. Incredible that you made it a whole six inches with that drive shaft! Well, it was still a good video. Have a merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Wayne!! It’ll get better over time sir. Hope you decide to just on ahead & keep her
Never thought that I’d see henery rollins on TH-cam wrenching on big rigs
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This truck is the reason I started watching the channel. I love the cab over, but this truck is my favorite. I really enjoy your channel, Merry Christmas.
Thanks man! Merry Christmas!
Wayne! Have a fabulous Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻 🇦🇺
Wayne...my only hope is that you enjoy what you're doing as much as we enjoy watching you do it....
Thanks man sure appreciate it
Hey there bud. Thanks for the great content....as always. Hope y'all are doing great.👍✌️🙏🙏
Thanks brother you too!
“Where you going ......NO where”I love that cut away, shame about the drive shaft, trying to break free all the seized parts at once was a bit to much for it, James will have one laying around, merry Xmas to you all
One of my favorite movies of all time!
Cool video Wayne, I’m another fan of keeping the Cat. I had always heard that was one of the reasons for Cat discontinuing the V8 was because too many guys were pretzeling their driveshafts…
You proved that rumor!
Merry Christmas
Have a great Christmas man. Hope y’all are doing good
Another great video Wayne. Never seen that either. Great stuff.
Love the video as always Wayne!! Tough break on that driveline dang! I love watching it would be sad to see that Pete go, and I'm not even a Peterbilt fan lol i like KW's and Autocars. But really love what you do, and who doesn't love the 2 strokes!! Thank You for always having great content!!
Thanks man sure appreciate ya!
Great video Wayne never would of thought the driveline break into. But it's just another bump in the process with this truck. Looking forward to your next video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Wayne and Family.
Merry Christmas brother!
I Saw what looked like mud falling from underneath as you pulled out those 6 inches, I thought clutch material??? What the heck... No I have never seen a rusted Drive Shaft. I did buy a 1979 Jeep Cherokee brand new and had the drive shaft fall off because the rear U Joint had no nuts on the bolts. My wife was going nuts. I picked up the drive shaft and put in the back then, just locked up the front hubs, put in 4 Wheel Drive, And drove back to the dealer. What a shock! Dennis
a customer picked up his new p/u to drop the rear end couple miles down the road . factory nor PDI caught no one put lube in the diff
Lol!!! Id be pissed!
had a customer bring in a new Monte Carlo with a rattle in the dash , torn apart they found an empty beer can in the duct work LOL@@Ol2Stroker
Bahahaha i wish i found a naturday can in my ford that'd be mint
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas!
Wouldn't never of believed it !! Never seen a prop shaft rust out like .Another hurdle to climb over , she's one cool truck though, great work and happy spannering , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Thanks man I wouldn't have either.
Appreciate the Kitty Video. You and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for the entertainment.
Merry Christmas!
Holy crap, I've never seen a drive shaft rust in half like that, I've scrap cars twice my age buried in the ground its entire life and drive shaft is perfectly fine lol. Thats nuts!
45 years of being a diesel wrench and never seen a driveshaft fail from rot! I've seen a lot twisted of at the yoke from jumping on the throttle but wow, that just nuts. At least it failed close to the shop! Keep the good work, love the channel. Stan
Same man, totally a first. Thanks for the love 🤟
Mechanic at work was working at different shop when they had a customer come in with a vibration, rebalanced the wheels, u joints all had no play still had a vibration. Other mechanic decided to zip the driveshaft off just to check u joints more thoroughly got flattened it was right full of water.
@@banffdigger that's wild
Merry Christmas Wayne to you and your family 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Pete play results in piles of 1980 shaft shmoo! Good holidays, hope for smooth progress next year, and possibly a 12 Pack Pete t-shirt...
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas--- we have fing smooo … great finally the return of smoo … from old Wayner…. YES
Merry Christmas!
Hi wayne merry xmas the big v8s are my favorite trucks i hope you keep it im looking forward to its rehab . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Its a cool truck! Merry Christmas!
Hey Wayne-o:.it's tough for me to be objective because I can't think of anything you've done video wise that I didn't like. If I'm unfamiliar with equipment or a particular engine, I end up learning something - nothing ever bad about that. I'm here for your attitude, your knowledge, and your twisted sense of humor (you're an ace with the drops from movies we all love). You're a working guy who loves the old legacy iron and that describes lots of us - you just happen to have the talent and motivation to make videos. I love the old Detroit Diesels but work on any kinda junk you care to, brother. I'll be here regardless.
Thanks brother I really appreciate that. I'll keep on keeping on I promise!
Merry Christmas Uncle Wayno!
Merry Christmas!!
Hey at least the rest of the drivetrain seems solid. keep pluggin away at it man. Love the channel Love cat V8s and 2 strokes and your Ferd! your a man of good taste! do a vid on your fords as well they look good.
Thanks man!
Hey Wayne I think that truck has potential. I hope you decide to keep it. Merry Christmas to you , and the wife ! 🎄
Merry Christmas!
You wouldn’t believe that driveshaft unless you saw it with your own eyes! Man that’s had water in it a long time to do that! I agree with the other blokes turn this into a build series to grow your channel people love regular uploads and build progress they get attached to things and invest their time into following along! I’ve only got a small channel but the main thing that grows my channel is project trucks and progress!
It's a major undertaking, and I'm struggling with committing.
I get it, you’ve gotta want to do it or otherwise halfway through you’ll lose interest and it will be up for sale unfinished so do what gets you excited 👌🏻
@@dieseldownunder. That's my issue for sure. I literally only want to build that truck because it's popular. My other stuff i actually love.
Sorry buddy love that big cat
Happy Christmas Legend, fingers crossed for less mechanical drama in the New Year.🍻
Thanks man Merry Christmas!
You swing that hammer like a Detroit guy. A cat guy would have had that a-cam extension off in one fell swoop. 😂 love the channel these trucks are gold. Keep it friend.
New sub here just found your channel enjoy your work keep it up. Makes me want to get out and learn about fixing up trucks.
Thanks man and welcome!!
I love 3408s.I'm jealous!
nice video Wayne.
Thanks!
I've never seen a driveshaft do that before, either. Totally insane. This video must have been made before parting out the General, as it's sitting in the background, still together.
Yea we're all over the place lol.
In the 70's I saw a car driveshaft twisted like a Twizzler hanging loose under a brand new car that had just come off the car carrier at a dealership. To this day, I can't imagine how that would happen😮
Daaaaaaaaang
Dream Truck. Definite channel builder
Ugh. You're not wrong.
You fixing this truck is what would make me and others start watching and liking more !
This thing is killin me. I just wanna build v12s.
Amazing horse! 😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 im shocked a couple of y'all picked up on that
That's freaking crazy!!!!! Maybe it developed a rust hole on the top of the shaft and filled up with water. At least it wasn't the clutch. Merry Christmas!!!
Coulda definitely been worse.
No freaking doubt!! I saw all that shit fall under the truck and I thought there was a mouse house that fell out of the bell housing. Never thought it was that.@@Ol2Stroker
@@rodneymiddleton9624 i was pretty damn surprised myself!
Oooops. Merry Christmas. Wayne.
Merry Christmas!
“Left the group chat”. 😂
😁
keep ur head up wayne theres always greener grass on the other side
Just gotta get there!
New one on me. Twisted off. Stick with it!
Holy shit I've never seen that happen ever! Good luck brother
It was a total first for me too!
Love it
You still gained ground. Get the drive shaft fixed and off you go. Still a fun video. Keep up the good work.
When empty I take off in high range and use the crawler gear, then shift to high range 1st, 2nd etc.
It's actually a good thing to do because when loaded and you really do need to use the crawler gear in low range on a hill in traffic or something, it trains you to get it in the 1st gear gate. Anyone who has ever missed going into 1st gear from crawler on a hill when heavily loaded will know exactly what I mean.
No help if you're stuck between ranges or your driveshaft has rusted from the inside out LOL. Thought I'd mention it anyway.
Keep up the great work and Merry Christmas and happy new year
Merry Christmas 🤟🤟
Uncle Wayne LOL. I only had an enclosed driveline on a 49 Chevy truck do that but couldn’t find it till we pulled it apart. I saw it in the video the first time and was like was that the clutch coming apart didn’t even think about the driveshaft. Crazy. Keep killing it my guy
Oh shit I bet that was a lot harder to diagnose! This was pretty obvious except for the fact i didn't notice the pile of rust under it, the trucks such a turd it seemed like it was normal. Haha
@@Ol2Stroker I hear you. It’s unfortunate. That truck is cool and pretty rare and desirable but man it would cost probably 10k just to get it reliable enough for it to go to work again and sky is the limit for restoring it. I know there’s a ton of people that are in the comments saying they watch the channel for this truck and it’s the holy grail and all that but the channel was always Detroit stuff. Working on other stuff is great for sure but if the people want CAT truck restorations might be waiting awhile on that lol. The Pete with the 12 in it is way more of a holy grail rig in my opinion. Awesome video Wayne thanks for the chat
I agree man. That v12 twin stick is the jam.
@@Ol2Stroker Yep. People love the C15, 3406e for ease of power and the CAT name is huge got cupcakes that have never mowed a lawn wearing CAT clothes and stickers on their trucks. I would think you put your truck in any enthusiast driveway or trucker they shit and start fixing it for work or play. Have some good Holidays. Can’t wait to see you banging gears with those knobs.
@@tyesalhus5604 Hell yea man you too. I can't wait either 🤟🤟
That truck has so much potential. Hopefully you can pinch the front driveshaft off of that international you just got if its the right length
Sadly the new stuff is totally different
Like others said , seen a lot of twisted off driveshafts but that is a first !
Damm Wayne never saw that before even on old cars that's sett in dirt and cow shit new one I was wanting to see it go down your lane don't give up man happy holidays to you and yours .
Merry Christmas brother 🤟🤟
Never seen this before ,40 pounds of rust on the ground . Good this rusted driveline failed close to home . Grab a cold one , all will be resolved . U n mrs have a great Christmas n Newyear !
Thanks man Merry Christmas!!
I have never been interested in big trucks my self until i started watching the 2stroker video's... I , like many on here, watched you and bacon take the mossy on the trip to get it and spend like 4 hours changing the front right wheel and tire in some horrible heat and humidity...
I knew the truck wasn't the " ol2stroker vibe" of your show, but I thought that it might be something a bit " different" to cuss at occasionally... I like others for some reason really like that truck... When you got the seat in it a few episodes ago I noticed the great dash layout and it seemed like a great cabin to ride in...
When I saw the new V12 truck I sensed the end for the cat truck was near... I understand we all only have " so much money and time" so I can understand how you are probably itching to get on your new V12 truck and you could even use the money from the cat truck to fund it.......
Still it would be neat to see the cat truck made like new again sitting in your fleet... Maybe put it aside and start in on your V12 long nose and not think about the cat truck for a while? I am sure you know that once it is gone there will probably never be another....
Personally I would sell the cabover and keep the Cat truck.... 3 long noses would be very cool.....
Keep it up Wayne, I look forward to your weekly episodes.......
an '81 Pete I drove (many years ago) had the drive shaft come apart at the transmission U-joint. the weld where the tube connected to the yoke rusted all the way around and literally fell apart. we welded the tube back onto the yoke (without using a lathe). the mechanic got the balance close enough that we had a slight vibration around 55 mph but that was the only issue.
Impressive repair!
I've always had a soft-spot for the 359's. between them and the 379's, I don't know which one I like better.@@Ol2Stroker
Ive seen frame rails rusted in two, holes rusted in drive axles, transmission aa well, never seen a drive shaft rusted out. That was a new one on me, new tube a bit of welding and good as new.
this was so not a treat but still a treat
I'll go with not a treat!
Wayne thats insane that it broke i have seen them launch out of them selves hit the ground and blow apart nothing like that ... Have a Merry Christmas
Same! Merry Christmas!
😂 amazing horse as a ring tone
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm shocked anyone even knows wtf!
Shut up woman get on my horse!
Tastes just like raisins!
LOL, that driveshaft twisted off like a piece of black licorice. No telling HOW it got enough water in it to rust through from the inside, unless they were fording streams on a regular basis?🤷♂😄 Crazy stuff... well maybe you can scrounge a shaft out of something else to run it for a while. (I think I'd definitely be checking the rear section as well to see if it's ready to twist off too!)😉
get a shaft in that ole hoss!! or just sell it to me...and only me! I know a guy who will help me get it on the road! That said i think you should keep him around. I havent touched a 359 since like '02 but i always think about the time i spent in that ole rig.
Driveshaft has left the group chat. That's a classic. Had me in tears. Sorry to laugh at your misfortune but misery does love company. You probably have one laying around. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed man. 🤟🤟
4:51 lmao I completely lost it when i heard the ringtone....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Ol2Stroker I have to ask, is the ringtone the complete song, if it played for a little bit longer I probably would have been getting buried from laughing way too hard.
Nothing as satisfying as a really rapid and unambiguous diagnosis. Load of shite it had to happen at all, but no wreck, no rescue needed, weather was OKish, caught it on film. Overall pretty fucking not so bad result. I hope you and Mrs Wayno have a tolerable Christmas.
Thanks man I agree completely I'm happy it happened where it did. Merry Christmas!
That was neat!!!
Thanks!
Damn. Merry Xmas. Lookin forward to see what you do with this shitbox.
Merry Christmas!
Well maybe that was one of those fiancy liquid balanced driveshafts or the V8 kitty has that much torque... or it's just another day of working on junk either way always enjoy the videos and new and interesting ways things can can fail without injuries of course. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
That Truck needs to be saved.
One short length of driveshaft tube and reuse the yokes. Just keep it all nice and straight, Buzz it up with 7018 and it will be fine. Yeah you'll have a million a holes telling you that "you can't do that" or saying it's illegal, or it will shake the truck apart. But I've fixed quite a few that way because I needed the truck, and didn't have time to deal with a driveshaft shop and they never vibrated or did anything bad.
BTW I've seen guys that talk all that bs put driveshafts in out of phase
Absolutely I'm not scared of driveshaft work. Thanks for the useful advise!
i hope you do get lucky with it since i don't have the money to buy it atm lol i would love to own that truck. i just love the classics but i own none.
Nice ,,, I’ve seen it on a few that sat to long,,,,, lol
No shit? Its a first for me!
@@Ol2Stroker was In it over 45 years,,,, yes I’ve seen a few ,,,
I'm hoping I only ever see one. Lol
Would love to own a truck just like the pete with the v8 cat
I got that same 2 lb. cross pein.
Holy crap! I've never seen that either.
Maybe it's just that Cat torque?😆
Gotta be!
@@Ol2StrokerI bet that CAT 🐱 torque is something awesome!
Dude it's pretty fuckin cool not gonna lie
pretty kool....
Son of a Biscuit Wayne, that a drive shaft crusting out from the inside is a first for me.
That said I would love you to bring that old turd back to life but I also understand that your Cabover Pete is screaming your name for love and TLC
Merry Christmas you filthy animal(s)
Y yes I just watched Home Alone
Merry Christmas brother!!
that's fucking crazy how the driveshaft left chat
Never seen it before!
Hope we see the neighbor kid wash and buff it
I'd like to see that too!
That's so frustrating!
That's crazy
Do you ever do any work on any old Caddy's etc anymore?
Why is a longer hood considered better than standard?
I’m looking for a clutch arm.
Wow now that is something you don't see break like that.
Really weird!
That was the best 6” ever.
That's what she said! Ha!
@@Ol2Stroker 🤣
Wayne I can feel your frustration level building....chill brother...have a NL and contemplate the vagaries of the universe...then watch your video of your very own, first ever known to mankind exploded tin can driveshaft! Sorry brother I gotta tell you I roared with laughter......I thought I was the only one that stupid "I never heard of that before" shit happened to! Merry Ho Ho and Happy Ya Ya my brother to you and Mrs. Wayne-o!
Yea man that thing barely took any load at all
Merry Christmas man, I'm good all part of the game but this one's fighting the good fight!
Never seen that happen, I have had U joints go but never a rotted drive shaft.
Same!
All part of the fun of restoring classic gear.
He’ll just used equipment can have its challenges too
You keeping that gem?
Uffda I ain’t never seen no shit like that before, and under almost no load either just letting the clutch out had enough torque to peel it right open! At least it happened in your driveway and not a hundred miles from home.
Yea it was really the best spot for a failure.
I think maybe the windshield washer may have leaked on it 😁
more like all the rat piss😂😂😂
Lol!
V8 CAT ? SWEET 3408 18 LITERS OF HAPPINESS
I LOVE THE V8 DETROITS WAY MORE..8V92 T
Seems like 18 liters of misery lately 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect candidate for a common rail ; however I have no idea how it would make any ROI , unless you put it on the road . Well , of course views ,,, !
🤣🤣🤣 sounds expensive!!
