I too agree that the tri-axle frame would be awesome under your cab over.
Makes that Pete even more special. good reminder never ever judge a book by its cover. stay safe out there and roll easy. Peace 🇺🇲
Thanks for taking us along, a great video Tim . I love going to salvage yards, and could just stay there all day dreaming .
I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe and keep on trucking and working on the restoration trucks .
As always, Jeffrey !!!
🤗👍💖💫
Man, that story about the previous owner just tickled my heart. You did a great job painting that picture Tim, loving these videos brother.
Disc brakes are awesome as they rarely go out of adjustment.
Loved cruising through the junk yard. Thanks for sharing. Seems like a cool place to work, especially to learn more about working on trucks.
You can tell who Tim's son wants to hang out with. That's his best buddy his dad or should I say best friend. Awesome to see stuff like that. And brax never gets bored. You don't see that too much today. He cracks me up the little comments he makes. Those two are on the same wavelink.
He is definitely a cool kid !
Love the relationship you have with everyone you work with. The Story salvage yard is a hoarder's paradise. The tire spreader on the RGN brings loads of memories. I worked as the tire & chain man for logging truck company for a while. There are some crazy things that happen when tires hit logs & brush along the roadsides. If it weren't so far away, I would see about the New Way suspension to help my dad replace his worn out stuff on an IHC 4900. Can't wait for more fixing videos
Love walking the salvage yards! I miss doing that. Great video.
Disc brakes are easier to replace then drums! Also better stopping power. They also still stop your truck when brakes are hot. The only down fall to disc brakes is the shoes only last like 100-200k miles u have to keep an eye on them shoes cause once worn down they’ll destroy the rotor and the rotor is like 1200 buck apiece. Also down side If u get them good and hot they can crack.
I worked for Matlack in the 80s, we had one of the first ones, couldn't keep pads on it and rotors about every 2nd pad change. I'd prefer the drums myself, much cheaper for the owner..
Aren't they a lot dirtier and make your wheels a dirtier compared to drums? I thought I heard someone mention that in some other video
@@jessejames3572 40 years ago, referring to brakes a lot hasn't changed? Only the year numbers. Have you ever worked on an 80s model truck or trailer? Just asking
Composite pads would be the way to go.
I've got a million miles on my pads....
Tim I love you man. You are just like me. I call my self a Toys R Us kid because I never wanna grow up!!! 50 years young and still love looking at things through kids eyes!!! Ohhh Ahhh oh look at that or over here!!! Love it!!!! Never lose that love for life!!! Love and Light to you Brax and the wife and all the rest of the family and workers!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I could walk around there all day and come back tomorrow and do the same thing lol
I just love that Braxton is a better truck parts identifier than most parts desk workers!
Thanks for watching 🔝🔝

THIS IS FUN !! GOOD OLD BONE YARD LOL LIFE IS GOOD 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I love driving trucks, but I’d really love to work at a place like that!!! Learning how to take stuff apart PROPERLY!!! And rebuilding transmissions and just learning the other side of trucking
Awesome story Tim, I lived in the days where there were an abundance of wrecking yards and they were great.
I've been running disc brakes for 10 years now. They are great! To me they feel like pre ABS drum brakes. I now have a new T880 and a Heil fuel trailer with disc. Also pads are cheap and easy to replace, just don't eat up the rotors they're pricey.
Big T Blessings to you and your family blessings to your Company and your full time with youtube congratulations One Stop Tommy
Thanks for all the good tips my dad 389 Pete needs a little work done to it we’re thinking about trying to get it back going but gas prices in texas are ridiculous right now but stay safe and God bless America 🇺🇸
TIM UR MAKING MEMORIES WITH BRAX THAT HE WILL NEVER EVER FORGET. BRAX WILL BE TELLING HIS FRIENDS & HIS OWN FAMILY FOR YEARS ABOUT U TAKING HIM TO THE BIG TRUCK SALVAGE YARD. GOD BLESS U TIM & UR ENTIRE BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. HAVEN’T SEEN THE LITTLE GIRL IN UR VIDEOS FOR AWHILE.
Tim I have to say you are an awesome father figure to your kids. May God bless you and your family.
Tim my dealership.did some testing for Bendix years ago when disc brakes were first on the market. As a Fort wayne dealer we were close to bendix engineering facility and worked directlywith the engineers on failures. The disk brakes did test well however the cost difference between the disc and the drum is huge. With the disc brakes you can go 200 to 300k miles if you have a driver with an easy foot. You may or may not get 2 life cycles out of the hub and disc. That depends on the driver, corrosion, and terrain. We found that the clips on the hub would weld to and damage the disc's over time forcing you to have to replace the entire hub. You will also run into calipers that fail along with valves calipers are not cheap. The systems are a bit harder to diagnose until you get the hang of them. The best suggestion I can give you is to stick with drums. Over time the cost was less with our customers. I was working with a heavy haul company as well as a gravel hauler. I hope this helps!!!!! Good luck!!
you're right, the drum brake is the best route to go
Discs have moved on a lot more than a country mile as in UK even the Dog has disc brakes!. Even trailers are all disc.
Really nice and big truck yard,thank you for the video. I wish to be there also and take all the parts for building a truck. Wish you all the best.
It's always good to know what's in the local parts yard
Thanks for the tour! I love going to the junkyards just to find the oldies!
the neway suspension is amazing. I have it factory on my 84 it used to be a wrecker
Tim you do love junk and so do I. I love the junk videos you make. I love the videos about the junk. I love all the junk trucks you run. I love it all man keep up the great work boss
I’ve always loved them FLD Freightshakers
Best freightliner ever made
Ready for the Pete to get back running who else ready
disc brakes for sure, work with them and drums daily prefer disc for sure. only thing that sucks about our rotors is you have to remove the hub to replace them other then that pad slaps are a 5 min job and no worn out s-cam bushings to deal with
Thanks for taking us to look at trucks with Brax an yourself. I liked the Freightliner dump truck with the Cummins 400 in it too. An I’d definitely go with what I know how to work on an stick with drum breaks personally. But I’m old school too 😂
They are really really great people at John story I pulled in there one time and they let me use their tools to put on a turbo I bought off of them really great people and like Tim said if you're looking for anything they got it that's a great video brother can't wait to see what you got next ♥️👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 God bless all y'all brother 🙏🙏🙏
Love how you always ask Braxton what he thinks he's a better driver than most adult's what a kid a driver in the making or one excellent diesel fitter I bet you and your wife are so proud of him keep it up Braxton your learning every day all the best from scotland
I have always likes walking salvage yards, and making a mental note of what I needed to do a project.
Junkyards of mostly anything are like walking in a super-sized treasure chest overflowing with JEMS💪😉👍
Almost at a 170k Tim!!!!!!!
Just to replace the pads is very very easy it's actually done in a few minutes but when you also have to do the Rotors everything has to come apart then it's a big job
By far my favorite channel. you remind me of myself Tim. keep them coming love the content!
Great video. Very interesting for a non trucking welder. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Motor is in the cab that’s not good. 😄
Thanks for the tour, great video
Look for composite brake pads. Handle the heat and wear better. I love to snoop around old truck yards.
Tim one mans junk is another mans treasure.
Hell yeah bring it back to life and have a little fun with it 10/4
Never fails to amaze me what stuff is still good from the junk yards
Disc brakes make a huge difference! I missed mine when I went to a different truck!
Just go get what you need Tim. Lots of good parts for the Classic, the cab over, and hopefully the Johnny Cash truck
John is a good guy i have used him for years
Tim one man's junk is another man's treasure I will tell you I repair mobile homes for a living and I'm always going through old mobile for parts to fix things because some of the stuff is no longer available like window cranks doors jealousy windows and extra so nothing wrong with refurbished things
I feel ya on the fld love. That was the first truck my dad ever let me ride in. Love them and the t600 I spent a lot time with him hauling logs and chips in. My dream truck would be a ford clt9000 or prolly a flatop fld
Tim the disc breaks are awesome only down fall is the brake dust gets all over your rims you have to do alot more cleaning. They do stop better and better wear just dirty.
boy ol brax jumped when that air compressor shut off at 32:06
HOW DID I MISS THIS, FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, MY BELL DIDN'T RING!!!!!!!!!!! WELL, FOUND IT! 😂😂😂
I maintain a whole large fleet of trucks with disc, they work so well and are so easy to service theyre now converting all their trailers to disc. They take about 10 minutes per wheel end to change the brakes. Most of that is wheels off and on.
The only way you'll find disc brake set ups is if you find rigs that are newer than 2015. The cans are turned sideway from traditional. Disc brake trucks stop very well. I wish you luck Tim.

Thanks for the tours 👍👍very nice to know what those guys have for sale
Disk are the way to go . Best move I have ever made with brakes . Stop better and the cool faster
It's not a junk yard, it's a recycling center. That's what one of those places,only for cars and light trucks called itself back in Pontiac, Michigan where I used to work for Grand Trunk Railroad. I know exactly how you feel walking around that recycling yard, I used to get excited going around the yard and seeing all the things I could find uses for including the dream catcher. lo l just ran across this channel earlier today a have found myself back here more than once. I find it very interesting and at 72 years old, I still remember my Dad telling me that you can learn something new every day"IF" you pay attention, and he was correct. Thanks Dad, miss you each and every day. 😎👍❤️
Thanx fer the vid Tim. I like junkyard daze 2!
My feeling about discs is if the truck is lying idle for periods it's not a good option they tend to rust up and stick or seize lot of trailers are gone back to drums for this reason specially if in damp climate
I do not no where you get your info from. But we have been running discs for years. Never had discs seize up even when the trailers sit for weeks. Plus when its freezing I have never had discs freeze up on the trailer or tractor and that is a major problem on drums.
Best move you could make going over to discs.
Cool video thanks Tim
"They buy nice equipment" T2000 comes into frame lol
My 1981 362 also came from there as well still has the sticker on the inside of the glove box
Disk brakes are great! I have them on my truck.... Million miles on the truck with original pads and rotors
Maybe buy it and let Brax build it!! build it how he'd want and maybe he could use it as a first truck? soo cool guys love the channel !!
Disc brakes are absolutely awesome get better when hot easy to work on
I guess I'm old! LMAO. 64 These trucks that are in the boneyard... I can remember when most were just out on the market. My, my, my how the years have gone by! I can remember when the first T600 came out on the market in the 80's. Most ridiculous looking truck I had ever seen at the time. They nicknamed it the Ant Eater. I just want to say that I'm glad to see that you and your son have a great relationship.
Tim that a2b truck was a runner it had a new c15 with a 13speed and new interior can't believe they sold it that was a awesome truck
So many good people. I'm thinking about moving to Tennessee. Thanks Tim xCop

Nice one dude cana beat a walk round a scrapyard i would spend all day there loving your videos big shout out from Scotland 👍
The reason you don't see them running the tag axle in the Quarry or on gravel roads is because you will ruin the tires on the tag axle on gravel roads. It will cup the hell out of them.
Diesel Technician chiminging i’m on disc brake conversion, definitely worth it. Pad change out is extremely quick and cost effective, only downfall would be downtime in the shop due to a locked up caliber(waiting on parts)
TIM, please but that heavy hual frame with push axle on that yellow cabover. I've always loved ti see a heavy hual cabover. Down here in central texas I've never seen one but as a kid I would get cabover toys and customized them to heavy hual and scratch build lowboy for them.
Man I'm in heaven I love your junk yard videos. You'd have to drag me out of there. Everytime I turn around I'd see something else
Those harnesses are nice and simple to change. The Volvo harnesses are a pain in the ass
Great video love this place
hey Tim great story that the best way to sell them trucks has a great week god bless you and your family and crew
We Love watching your show! From Russellville, Alabama!!!
Disk brakes are a game changer after being all drums. My shop hasn't had to service the brakes once on my truck. I got in my truck at 311,000 and I'm at about 580,000 now. T680 sleeper. The stopping power is great, there is no comparison whatsoever.
The cascadia probably needs the 1 box there on national back order. Like 6-9 months
And it’s 7000 bucks
Thanx for salvage walk around Tim An Braxx y both hav huge knowledge in yr industry can wait for yr builds to come cheers guys exc chanel

More of theses Tim great stuff
I'm going to call Nate. I been around trucks my whole life. My popz drove for 36 years, I dont know everything about im willing to learn. Ive been looking for a job around trucks for couple years now. Appericate you sharing this, keep the rubber side down keep making great videos as well have a nice day
That was an international T444E like from a bus or something. First one I've seen - been hearing about them for years. I love my 7.3's!
I had to take our kubota tractor to Dooley's in athens for some warranty work yesterday and came down and back up 68 and was like that would be awesome to see one of your rigs driving down the road.
Ayyy A2B. I used to drive a forklift there for awhile and load trucks. That was a owner operator truck. Since all they use is newer KWs and Peterbilts. My Step dad drives for them. I could probably get you some info on that truck. You also might find some MDS, or ETI stuff. I would get that A2B truck. It's still pretty new. A2B just wouldn't fool with getting the engine or anything.
Awesome video. A lot of nice stuff there
Tim, the company I been working for 30 years as a mechanic just switch over to disc we have been seeing some issue, the brake pads are wear faster then we thought, I've seen them worn out around 120 to 170 thousand but these units run the northeast which they are running up and down the mountains. the next thing we are seeing is the wheel seal leaking both the drives and steers, and the last thing we are seeing is the ABS exciter ring is getting rust behind it and pushing it out cause ABS faults we call it rust jacking, but other than that the drivers love the braking power also they are easy to change the pads, abs ring and the rotor, still have to pull hub to do the abs ring and rotor but the pads pull wheel,
They'll be sick of the expense on those disc brakes, my company tried a set in the 80's. Couldn't keep pads and rotors on them. They were experimental rigs but basically same as I'm seeing today, they never bought any after testing the one truck..JUNK..
@@ky.gambler5281 I'm getting 300,000 miles out of mine. Always loaded heavy. That's driving local, 80,000 miles a year
Very nice salvage yard Tim I like going to them to appreciate the videos buddy 👍
Great story on the Pete 👍
That 2 Stroke Detroit looked like a v92 series.
Knoxville has changed so much. I miss eating at Scruggs BBQ on Magnolia Ave. That food was the best 🥰
Love the content keep up good work. I thought it was funny with the red outlaw trucking truck was in your video cause the house I currently live in in phx az has that written in the concrete slab in my back yard... from 2014.. I've always like semis but never had much chance to be around them. And I'm glad ur teaching your boy so well
Can’t wait for you to get your parts-junk yard done.
While in Kansas, check out the freightliner setting in Adventures made from scratch channel, Silas has one setting in there and it just don't belong there.. biggest thing right now is housing, people won't go where there ain't houses at a decent rent or buy. I know that Mr Story did the right thing as selling parts makes a truck worth way more than setting and running down the road. I don't figure why you don't part the truck your trying to sell cheap unless you just don't have the manpower to get it all done.
I like the blue one with no wheels on it's on the left hand side about half way through the content!
Disk brakes there pretty good my friend has 5 peterbilts that have disk and he loves that setup. Plus the european trucks been running disk brakes for a long time so you know it's a great setup if they run them they haul heavy than what we in america haul
I went from drums to disc i won't go back to drums to me they are alot easier to work on and I've been driving for over 40yrs
Nice! I drove by that Pete dealer alot.
Hi Tim Brux man this place is like Heaven for Trucks it’s like Retirement place for Trucks big place as Retired old Trucker I never seen a place with so much gear Nice stay Safe Keep on Trucking. 👍💪❤️😎🚛🇦🇺🇦🇺

Everyone of our firetrucks has at least front disc brakes and some have disc all the way around. We have no issues and they get beat on.
