It is really funny how our attitudes change over time. I used to love working on my Trucks, But watching you I am so happy I never have to anymore. A 82 years I am still rebuilding an Old 1951 Studebaker 3/4 Ton Pickup making it into a Woody Hillbilly Camper. plus my 1901 Reproduction Curved Dash Oldsmobile. One day I may be near dead and later that afternoon I can be out working o my projects. LOL
James You Are the Reviver Of the classic trucks Too Bad the Manufacturers quit making cabovers these were the backbone of america for years and years Good On you for Loving the classics
Part of what I enjoy about your channel…a straightforward approach without a bunch of unnecessary drama. The 8v92 sounds strong….noticed the blue paint on the frame and tank straps. Perhaps it started out as a North American Van Lines power unit?
Dang man that old girl sounds good. You got mentioned on Peterbilt Mikes channel over the cab falling down. Boy you’re gonna have a fleet of trucks soon. You are gonna have to start a trucking company if you keep at this. With fuel and everything else going up it’s a tough game right now.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that does that shit lmao, he’s walking around thinking yeh, she’s running good, meanwhile that return line was doing some serious returning !
@@JamesPretty I’m sorry man, I couldn’t help but chuckle at your brief moment of panic. I have burned, shocked, trapped myself, you name it but hey, we get her done don’t we. Love your truck brother, the old Detroit’s deserve a lot more credit. I’ve seen em ease right on by a truck broke down because of a sensor or what ever little plastic parts that broke this time.
This is a great video . Delores is looking better and is going to be a great looking truck when you get her running and cleaned up some be more and all polished up . I like the way that you think about batteries, just buy new ones and your ready to go . I have a neighbor that is a lot like you he goes out and finds these old trucks and rebuilds them from a pile of junk and turns them into great looking, great running trucks. But here for numerous years now he has also got into getting these old John Deere mostly 450 dozers and puts them back together piece by piece . There has been a few times that I have seen him going past my house with one just in pieces and he will clean everything up and and go to putting it back together with new gaskets and seals and bearings and filters and so on . That old Detroit engine sure does sound good and you will get it all straightened out in time. But old Delores is going to be a beauty queen again after you keep give her some more TLC . I will catch you all later, so you all be careful and stay safe and keep on working on the trucks and making us more videos and taking us along for the resurrection's of the trucks . As always, Jeffrey !!!
December and you work in a T-shirt gotta be GA. I'm up here in the DC area and it was a balmy 36 degrees. Colder if you are laying on a concrete driveway under your pickup truck. I'm disconnecting stuff to pull the transmission on my F250 so I can replace the torque convertor. I'm jealous of that weather! LOL!
Man that 8v92 Sound like music that is a good motor back when my dad was an owner operator his 1989 gmc cabover had that 8v92 with a 7 speed transmission it would run about 100 miles an hour but she sure was screaming It used to be a car hauler i’m sure back them you remember them GMC cab over they were yellow trucks we took the car hauler rack of it and let it long put a fifth wheel on it and he put it to work from 1992 to 1999 be safe good video again
Holy shit James Dolores Sounds Bad-ass Can't wait to see you take her for her 1st ride I also agree with you on Peter built I don't care for them either Sounds Like you got some pretty cool videos coming up Looking forward to the next video Truckham easy brother👍👍
Man I have to give you your props! Dang you are good you have brought 3 cabovers from the dead! I love cabovers always have but, don't have the know how. Just wanted to say dammit you are good mad love!!
Love your channel, cant beat the sound of an 8/92 doing its job or any old detroit 2 stroke, she was running nice and clean to, think you have a good one there. Regards from oz
Pretty fu**ing not so bad!!! Now they all run, a few finishing touches might be in order - You have to instil confidence in your customers or agents. Can't turn up with a bin liner window and a third of the wheels missing.
@@JamesPretty The pleasure is for me I like the exits of old trucks in the brambles. I own a Chevrolet K3500 V8 6.2 Diesel And a Bel-Air 57 4doors without amount And when I was young we had a bus to go to school with a 2-stroke engine a Berliet with a cruiser engine There is also a collector at some places who owns several trucks us don a GMC 2 stroke Greetings from France ✌️👏
Triple-a plus triple-a plus thank you, James, thank you, foreign and getting these abandoned trucks. You're like me, don't waste? I'll be waste of something. Get those puppies running running again. You know this is what I'm not using Ah. Certain person slow bet this is what this this is America. America's bin, great-great. We just have to get back to doing things. Thanks, decent and order. Follow the scripture. We got trucks and here we can sit there and stuff. Working and stuff get people in there get jobs rolling
There’s not a V8 car engine that comes close to sounding as sweet as the ol Detroit ,keep up the great work.Merry Xmas and cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Man, I know where there’s one of those with only 17,437 actual miles last time I was in it. A rich lawyer/hobby farmer I knew bought it brand new and it’s only ever been hooked onto a lowboy to haul his toys. He had a heart attack, and it has sat on my grandpas property for about 17 years. It has a 400 cummins, 13 speed Rockwell. Last I knew his kids only wanted $6,000 for it.
What another as well as a pete? Great stuff cant wait haha good on ya ! Good job there too it sounds pretty fit for a 6v. Good to see delores rocking again ! :-) God bless brother !
the old girls sounds healthy. maybe you can get a gig like Chad keegan has where you can just, work a couple of days, make a couple of short runs. You know just to pay for gas, maintenance and some funny money.
@@JamesPretty Over 700 miles. It is all aluminum frame is very good shape 13 speed air ride. dent in cab corner front of cab has bend at hinge point. Has a lobe down on one cam but runs. I drove it some for the guy that owned it it sat 20 years then he died. I saved it from the scrap but i wish i wouldnt have now and i may scrap it.I t will scrap for around $2000.00 but that is alot of work.

Hi Jame just started watching your videos, love what you are doing with these old trucks. When your finished a truck do you keep them or sell them ?
I plan to keep them. I’m going to put them to work if things go as planned
James, I hope you own the Floor Dry company, at the rate you go though it!😱😎
Best wishes from the far North.
Hahaha thanks and best wishes as well
What another as well as a pete? Great stuff cant wait haha good on ya ! Good job there too it sounds pretty fit for a 6v. Good to see delores rocking again ! :-) God bless brother !
I cannot disclose the Secret Truck, it’s not a done deal yet and I want to make sure it’s happening before I actually give the details
Runs better then a 2022 on DEF
Wow!!! Sounds great!
I have a 84 freightliner flt cabover. Where can I find the front grill for it.
Start with eBay and marketplace then try vanderhaags
And of course all the groups on facebook
Thank ya sir. Love your channel. I've learned alot
Just wondering what your plans were for the trucks when you get them all running? Going to work them or sell them?
Work is the plan
I was hoping you would. Four sure you'll have the best looking fleet on the road.
I all ways enjoy your videos
Thx brother
Great job
Thank you
Were you a former diesel mechanic? Just starting watching your channel recommended by gentry and sons.
I’ve been a mechanic most of my life diesels are just interesting to me. I’m a big fan of 2 stroke’s
Sounds great bro! watch that RPM though itll trash and engine quick.
Governor is working proper sounds more
Aggressive on film than it really is
the old girls sounds healthy. maybe you can get a gig like Chad keegan has where you can just, work a couple of days, make a couple of short runs. You know just to pay for gas, maintenance and some funny money.
Would be fun for sure. I watch Chad. I hope everyone here does as well
I dont thinks its legal to have that many cool trucks in one spot, are they all yours ??
The trucks at my shop and now this one are mine. The rest in this video are my friends
@@JamesPretty Excellent choice of friends ! PS love the battery approach "ohh no, we dont have enough juice to start the truck" :P
By the way merry Christmas to both of you
Same to you bro
I bought a 79 with a 6v92 2 years ago 5 injecters were stuck it took about a year to get it going to drive it home. I would love to sell it.
