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

Back in the day, the driver that was lucky enough to drive that pete down the road....could truly call himself......king of the road
Still hard to get by the E9-500 magnum v-8 superdog
Is that a black dog reference?🤣
@@briannielsen2168 ?
They have not drive Scania yet....😊
@anastasiszaroliagis5066 This thing was one of the baddest things around in the 1970s. But in the years since, I can not say I've ever seen a Scania I'd take over a long nose Peterbilt 359, or a Mack Superliner with an E9. They are just pure classic cool, and still can hang with trucks of today. To the Euro's credit, Scania is actually still making V8s, and badass 770 hp variants. They're not horrible looking, if you have to be stuck with an ugly cabover.
Mack unfortunately left the building when Renault bought them. Their coolest products are a thing of the past. Much like most manufacturers now. No manual transmissions, no v8s, and ugly spaceship looking trucks.
22:49 Now, I've seen diesels make white, blue, black, and grey smoke, but orange smoke is definitely a new one for me.
That’s a concoction of rat piss and rust, oh and the odd cob web. 😂😂😂
Love this channel!
Good job gump!😂😂😂
No charge for that!
Wayne that’s a bad ass old Peterbilt, you brought back to life, breathed new life into it. That’s fucking awesome. Keep them coming man. I look forward to watching your stuff. You’re one of the best shows on the TH-cam.
Thanks man!
I was lucky enough to drive the 79 Pete 359 on my uncles farm during harvest. It had a 3408, 15 speed, and 4.10 rears. That old truck would get up and move once you got the hang of her. The 3408s are definitely in my top 5 favorite truck engines.
Why
wayne keep that truck She's a keeper It's hard to come by a 3408 v8 cat And it has a lot of potential
The official mechanics slogan.
"That was heavier than I thought."
Love watching along with you sharing the good the bad and the ugly things of restoring your trucks mate
Lots of bad and ugly!
@@Ol2Stroker that’s what we like too see though 😉
Its a win . I love that truck .It looks awesome .Pleased you got her moving on her own steam . Thanks wayno !
Thanks 👍
Wayne, back in it's day that was the truck few people could afford, and the guy that could everyone else was jealous of him. Great piece of history alive again. I look forward to the progress on the V12 359, there's no sound like the old 2 strokes! Keep the great content coming man!
Nailed it! The ol' General came through with parts...how unexpectedly awesome...you're getting an impressive line up there bro!
That ol General was the real mvp!
@@Ol2Strokerand now the Pete can live again
Man your killing it. That truck could be on its way to being special. My father only had two trucks he like a k100 with the 318, and that exact pete.
Please keep the 3408 pete.... It adds to your collection and at least the peterbilt motif
At work we have an late 1990s very short wheelbase day cab KW with a C-15 Caterpillar opened right up. It has twin everything including 4x long range tanks (on a day cab ffs lol) twin aircleaners with high rise intakes with Donaldson plastic ram scoops and twin 8" exhaust stacks so is very loud. The Jake is hilarious particularly if you downshift and it gets the engine up to 2000rpm. Far from show this truck actually hammers. The hang on it has on hills at 1800rpm is astonishing. I don't know how much power it has but is someone told me it had 700hp I wouldn't be surprised.
Anyhow across the bottom of the windshield just above dash level it has a perforated plastic banner on the inside of the screen. Printed on the black banner in barely noticeable but large faint Caterpillar yellow is in capitalized 6" high lettering, PUSSY POWER, each word being on each windscreen segment.
Had a shite day at work. Came home and farted around in my shop for a bit. Came inside and saw Ol 2stroker uploaded a new video. Just what i needed. Cheers Wayne and happy new year. 👊🏼
back in the early 80's I had a 79 Freightliner with a 3408. yes it was hard on power dividers (i kept one in stock) the driveline wasn't up to all that power back then
Badass!!!
@@Ol2Stroker Took the power divider out of our KW and ran it solid. So long as we started off with tires the same size, it was fine. SQDD axles
I learned something new today. After 30 years of wrenching I never knew some driveshafts had cardboard inside of them. I wonder if it had been reworked in the past and the shop that rebuilt it shoved cardboard in it. 👍for the content.
I guess it's a thing on OG shit to dampen noise. Nowadays the cardboard costs too much
I think ol' Wayne just got "cat scratch fever".😂
Ole cat stroker! Great episode.
It's crazy. But that old truck looks happy being drove again. Good videos.
Thanks!
Cat is different . Bringing these back to life is a good feeling !
Glad to see it move hopefully you keep working on it

Hell yeah 🤘🏻good to see that Pete moving keep up the good work, Wayne!!
Thanks 👍
I don't hate to say it but you who I call cusser at times has a great channel keep up the great work and make trucks great again.
I would die to have that truck and get it back on the road
How u don't have more followers is beyond me, your content is some of the best on TH-cam
Thanks man. Im not sure wtf I'm doing wrong
Well bud last week you made it 6 inches and this week you made it 600 feet a few times so you are like 10,000 times better. Not to shabby for an afternoon’s work. Good job and even as rough as it is overall it sounds pretty dang good. If you ever decide to sell it and are willing to take a keg or two of your favorite beer for it let me know and I’ll buy it. lol 😂
Ol' Stroke Catter
Nice job you got it rolling, have a happy new year.
Wayne - collection looks boss, dawg. Only cool stuff in your yard 😎 Ill tell you one thing, i was not digging that Lilac truck when you first showed it on the channel but now its looking phenomenal.
Thanks man, which truck is the lilac one?
Dude! Spicer end caps that just slide out, a used driveshaft the correct length in stock, you better go buy a lottery ticket! You're a lucky sob. Cool vid! Keep up the good work! Stan
💯💯💯 i was shocked by the whole deal!
In Australia, we call this! “ kissed on the dick”
Love the rear axle brake delete, minty!!!
LOL, the six inches comment got me :)
Happy New Year to ya Ol 2 Stroke and all the 2 Stroke fans!!!!
Happy New Year!
A beast that shouldn’t have had such a long nap, now she wants to get back to the job she was made to do. 👍
ABSOLUTELY----> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Your the man Wayno HAPPY FRICKIN NEW YEAR TO YA OH BOY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That Friends is a real truck The driver of that truck Was exuberant To be behind the wheel and drove it with pride And honest-to-goodness pride By everyone who Saw him behind the wheel . All we got now is junk trucks An engine We're in the hell that we go wrong. And they wonder why we are short of drivers It is because of the awesome factor of a truck like that
Man the rust! Sitting along the coast really took its toll on everything. Almost as bad if not as bad as driving on salt roads.
Yea salt air is also bullshit!
About spat my food all over, old cat stroker you get put on some sort of register with a name like that wayno 😂 loving the direction of this fine machine brother
Bahahaha prolly!
Oh yeah 👍 I would take that in a heartbeat, over today s throw away trucks and it just a drive shaft ,
Your getting like James Pretty just lining them up!!
Those old press in style drivelines could be a real pain in the ass, you got lucky on that one.
Cool old 359
Sure did!! Thanks!
The dealership I wrenched at sold on of the last 3408’s built. It was ordered by the owner of the company and he literally hauled feathers with it and it got a whopping 3.8 mpg. I probably worked on 6-8 of them in my years there. Most were heavy haulers and a couple were calendar trucks
Very cool
I love this channel! Best one on TH-cam!
Thanks brother.!!
Well done. It is wonderful to see her move under her own steam again.
You know I love them all Detroit ,Cat, Cummins they all had good and bad and I like them all
Great vid , nice to see that truck rolling, big Cat sounds good many more jobs on this one , looking forward to seeing your progress, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
bloody hell mate, good job bringing this back to life. Love older trucks, back when you bought them from the Men's section, none of this new girly crap. Keep on keeping on brother. Cheers.
Thanks man!!
Love that truck.
If there was any money left to be made in trucking I would love an older model pete like that especially a unique one with that motor. GREAT FIND and glad to see it run and drive folks like you who rescue these older darlings are special! (I drive a 1999 Pete 378 short nose with a 3406E that I have put 800k miles on). Unfortunately I think if I quit the boss would probably park her out in the field to rust.
Sick!! You have the most unique juck on YT a V8 Cat and a V12 Detroit.. keep at it!!
More to come!
Driven a couple of them, nothin more baddass, sounding at least 💪
That is an awesome Pete. I really like the old Cats, they just keep on going.
Your never late with a 3408
What an awesome truck. Great to see it saved from the scrap heap. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh fuck yeah! I never grinned so much during a video than this one. Seeing that ol girl running and rolling again was one of the best things I’ve seen, and seems like it has a lot more left in it too! Definitely seems like she’s got some fuel turned to her. Absolutely can’t wait to see more vids on project 340late. Just a possible name as it’s late to being to get rolling
No doubt, thanks!
Probably my favorite truck on the channel. What a beautiful rig with so much potential. Love seeing it live on. Great job man
Hell yeah it's super cool to see this truck work now. Especially after remembering what it looked like when you got it.
Happy New Year Wayne.Nice to see the truck rolling again.
Running rig a truckers dream.
Wild to think we were chatting on the cb while I was dragging this junk home only a year and a half ago
I believe the cardboard in the driveshaft is for sound deading
Olcatstroker finally got the 3408 meow moving under it's own power..
That is one HELL OF AN UNFRIENDLY NOISE!!!!! WOW! "this things supposed to pop back out" Dude.. YER A RIOT!!! To lotsa killer red oval content in 24!!! Thx fer making my TH-cam a better place Wayne n James! Gonna buy a beer someday! Cheers from Santa Cruz
Jerry Reed singing along to your test drive is perfect!
Another great video Wayne. Love the old junk you work on. Brings back memories of yesteryear. Thanks man
Hi Wayne from Yorkshire England Happy New year hope it's good one for you and your family
Happy New Year!
ol cat stroker means something different where I'm from
Here too! Ha!
Dude, nice touch on the Jerry Reed Bandit theme! Jerry Reed was a phenomenal guitar picker!
Cardboard lining inside a drive shaft... things that just make you go hmmmm.
I had to Google it, but yep, it's a common practice to dampen vibration. Who knew?!!!!
So the drive shaft out of the General just happened to be the same length as the rusted out, completely toasted one that was in the 359? Perhaps this is when you should buy a lottery ticket.
Hahahah yea no kidding! I was absolutely shocked myself
Nice work Waynoo!!
Definite win there Wayne
The old General came through for you one more time.
Who would have thought 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Amazing
Great to see it running.
Great video
Happy new year to you an yours buddy
Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻 🇦🇺
So now that's three conventional Petes plus the cabover right? Love that lineup with the Brockway, Mack, International, and that 3408 BEAST!!! Got your own James Pretty or Peterbilt Mike fleet starting. LOVE IT! Happy new year!
Diamond in the rough beautiful truck Happy New Year
That Pete is badass excited to see what you do with it next.
Hell yeah!! Wayno did it!!
Awesome to see it rolling 👍🏽definitely put your effort in to get that hot rod rolling , happy new year !

Nice, been a long time coming. A little hard on the How Dare You's, but it'll come around.
Awesome!!! Glad to see her moving again
It sucks getting old!
It sure does!!!
Golden content. Now we're cooking 🔥
Like your channel milk truck semi driver from ohio i have drove a 85 359 woth mechanical cat 3408 7 inch mitor cut stacks straight pipes and dual wetline polished diamond plate headache rack with orange light for hauling equip and 13spd wood steering wheel valve for tain horn polished diamond plat half fenders flat top bunk short hood aluminum wheels polished rock guards under head lights motor aluminum polished stunning truck loved it they wanted me to buy it but did not want what they wanted for milage so farmer in mount vernon bought it he wanted a good 359 bad man it was sweet pulling a flatbed of potting soil 42to 44,000 lbs heavy up hill sound from stacks and the smoke
The driveshaft was a great piece to have cheers Wayne
Got lucky!!
Awesome cool old truck
It seems so different to hear something other than a 2 stroke Detroit driving around your property.
Believe me it's even weirder from my shoes
Hell yea super Kool that unit is good see the ol gal come back alive great job Wayne be a looking to see what's next . Great big ol happy new year to you and the family
That V8 sounds fantastic.
Happy New Year to you and yours. Cant wait to see what this coming years projects you begin.
Happy New Year!
I do know how important that first drive is. Fall in love with them and you trade your bed for a lantern. No winning a truck over a day old that doesn't break something in my level of expectations. Yeah I have driven miles with out doing much except to add a little oil to those detroits but then they always marked their territory. Just like a Rottweiler, another kind of said animals, those petes did get that award but my heart lays with a W900 B
Got to love all the old oil coated shmoo
Great job
As always Wayne, even if you have a small set back you bang that shit home for a win. Like I commented before, never been a truck driver but always wanted to drive a Pete! You make me want a rig just to go buy groceries on the weekend!! 😂 Your content is always educational and super entertaining! Keep it rolling brother!!
