Wayne, I cut my teeth driving back in the late 70's and early 80's and got to drive some of the high HP west coast trucks back in the day! I took a job as a lease operator with Riley Whittle, out of Phoenix, and when they were feeling me out to see if I could drive, one of the guys from the shop ask if I could drive a 14 speed Spicer? I had never drove one, but knew I could, with some practice! So I calmly said no problem, and they showed me a O/O spec'd 1976 Freightliner Cab over, 96" cab, NTC 350 Cummins, 14 speed Spicer, 4.11 rears! Very nice, almost new truck, with a matching 42'6" Great Dane refer, stainless front and rear doors, and all Aluminum rims! The Cummins was turned way up, had a big Cat turbo, and was a a for sure large car, for back in the day! As we talked and went over all the stuff that had been done to this truck they told me that the truck and trailer had mostly sat since it was leased on, because no one could drive it! After the test drive, they told me that this was my truck, and to treat it like my own! I got paid a % of what the truck made, and it made me and them a lot of money! Your 110" cab Pete is a stepper and a definite triple digit truck with 355 rears and the 13 OD! You never know, I may have run with that truck back in the day, haulin ass from the west coast to the Mid west! Oklahoma City Peterbilt were one of the go to dealers for ordering large cars back in the day, along with Kansas City Peterbilt!
Great explanation of the 352. That truck must have been a real looker right out of the factory when brand new for sure with all of the custom touches and chrome stuff. It's definitely in a good home with someone who appreciates it for what it is.
Hey Ol' 4 Stroker. The man who speced that truck was way ahead of his time. Knew exactly what he was doing and what he wanted in his truck. Thanks so much for telling, and sharing the details. Really interesting.
I love looking at the build sheets for vehicles and equipment , sometimes it looks like a whole different language unless you kinda know what you’re looking at. I built sprayers and the big tire floater trucks for 6 1/2 years and every one has a build sheet with all the different options that people had ordered them with and that’s how we assembled them. Very cool to see 👍
Wayne, this is probably my favorite video on your channel! The honest passion, love of your truck-it's genuine and relatable! Going into detail why you love that truck was a fun watch!
@@Ol2Stroker for me, I get excited about welding, TJ generation Jeeps, Imperial luxury cars and 68-70 Chargers! Same feeling I get as you with your '73 COE!
@@jasonholloway2476 I'm not gonna lie to you a 69 charger General Lee is on my must have list. I grew up watching the Duke's and I'd love to be able to piss pound one of those
@@Ol2Stroker Niiice! I want two triple black '68s...a factory stock Hemi R/T just as it came from Hamtramck, and a '68 restomod with Demon or Hellcat power, disc brakes all around, etc.
I like the truck, but I absolutely love the intro! Probably the most faithful recreation of the opening, and with a Pete Cabover! Keep up the good work!
I think I mentioned this before but during the pipeline build in Alaska, the trucking companies ordered GMC V12 because they were the easiest to get at the time in large quantity. My cousin is from Alaska and was telling me about that. His dad was CAT mechanic for Michigan Cat that had the contract to repair the equipment up there. Cool stuff.
Really enjoyed this video! Brought back memories. Those of us at moving companies in the 70's and 80's hauling HHG and Hi-tech ($$$) tended towards the big toys and big engines. Thanks for recognizing the historical importance of that time. I was lucky to be part of it. Ain't gonna happen again!
I told you that you are a genius. Other than the limited horsepower was the limited torque. If I remember correctly torque was between 700 and 1200 lbs ft. The biggest reason for the aluminum frame and housings was weight. Trailers were very heavy. Air ride was rare to non existent at that time. Really cool video Wayne. I'm geeking out. 😆
Man I love that you did this. I so enjoy the history of the truck as much as the truck its self. How it was built and all the specs about it. Exciting to see how they did the trucks then and even today with special trucks. Also, you only looking out for specialized trucks makes your channel even better. There are lots of random everyday trucks out there but to find what you have is something special for sure. Rare engine combinations is awesome among the other rare components. See if you can find a 4 axle cabover with a V12 in it one day or a CAT 3408. I'm sure that is a tough find. The 359 V8 CAT is going to give old Pete the cabover a run for its money. LOL For me at least. Cant wait.
Early power assist used air pressure to run the cylinder on the tie rod. The construction company mentioned below had a 69 & 70 narrow nosed KWs with 8 yard Smith mixers set up with the air cylinders. They got changed to hydraulic in the 1980 range. They had 220 Cummins Ford engines bumped to 235 or 250 HP; one with a turbo & one with a belt driven supercharger. Both had 5/4 trans set ups with Timken rears (not sure what rating or ratios). They would do really well for the low horsepower engines, getting up to around 70 MPH on fairly level ground. North central Montana sits at around 3500 feet on the level, so the turbo did a bit better than the super. I don't remember what year they were purchased, but I was tapped to help hammer out the barrels every fall, as well as run the powder bag hand truck while loading from the time I was 12 years old on. I also got to work on the equipment over the years & actually learned to drive in an old 1959 IHC twin screw tandem gravel truck with a 549cid gas engine & 5/4trans combo & no synchros. It was a dream to start driving pickups with synchro transmissions. I also remember the first time I drove a truck with an air shift trans.
That is a pretty unique 352 and it is truly amazing that is still mostly intact, as originally built. Lots of custom touches. It was, as Peterbilt's slogan used to claim, a touch of class. Today, class 8 COE's are no longer made. Back in the 70's and well into the 80's, they were the most common configuration seen on the interstates in the east due to length restrictions.
One of your absolute best videos! Imagine having the oppurtunity talking to the original owner regarding just why you would spec "this and that". The cabover must have cost a fortune compared to other alternatives. Anyway, great video, keep 'em coming!
Nothing wrong with being a Truck Nerd, thanks for giving me a better understanding of what stuff means on a build sheet. I'm going to go back over mine now. Thanks again Wayne
Beautiful truck Wayne , the 12V71 was the Big Dog for sure at the time along with the 1693s or " Clatter- pillers" as their nicknamed for the unique start up sounds , although not unusual in the early production models on the 110" sleepers , and I'm sure I'm not 100 percent correct , it's rare to see the breather pipe down through the cab , common yes for the single bunks but later on I think most 110s had the pipe mounted beside the passenger side exhaust , again I'm probably exactly correct on that , there's only one Peterbilt advertisement from OVERDRIVE MAGAZINE where I saw dual mounted A/C condensers , it's the early 70s add of the head on shot at night and looks like it's raining , COE is light green and white , 👍👍👍👍.
Did Mack have any big horsepower engines back then? You did say "Big Dog..." I don't remember hearing them mentioned in the video. I guess the Super Liners were later on?
@@DanEBoyd yea Dan the superliner was late 78 iirc, so it was around the time everyone else had big power. Iirc the e9 500 V8 debuted with the superliner
My brother had a cruiseliner cabover with a v8 mack motor in it...500 hp....Back in the day of hauling lumber in the late 80.s he had superliner with v8 mack also....he'll of a truck with ton of grunt
Man I love the old trucks and learning about the history of them. I'm a professional driver and seeing you work on and drive these old trucks makes me want to buy one to drive. Can't wait to see more!
I love old manuals I actually have the complete set of books and a huge wiring diagram for my 55 GMC 4104 coach. I trust it more than whàt I read on the interweb. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Wayne.
Thanks for posting, back in the 60’s my dad and a neighbor down the road gave me truck brochures when I was a kid, I used to spec my truck when I was 12 years old. My dad used to say you think big for someone with no job and no money.lol
Great video, Wayne. The chap who specc’d that truck originally knew what he was about. Great to see you explain the different unique touches that your 352 was built with.
Man, that Astro was friggin' sweet! I didn't know that the no front brakes era included the '70s. I've seen some CF Freightliners online, which had all kinds of wild equipment for dealing with mountains and winter. Some of them old Freightliners came with aluminum frames too. '73 must've been about the end of the air intake running through the cab - and I've never noticed that setup with an extended sleeper. Mossybroke is the Phantom 1309... Excellent video! Damn sure better than any class in school...
The intakes through the cab was the dumbest thing ever. The last cabover I had before this one was a v12 truck originally too, but it was an 86" cab and had 2 of them damn air intakes up through the cab! Ultra rare but holy cramped!
@@Ol2Stroker Yep every time you jacked up the cab it would break the seal. I sure got tired of that. It always leaked down into the bunk and tool compartment. One truck I was glad to get rid of.
I've already seen that out of you, with ol mossy that truck is badass the color scheme alone screams badass, then you hear that damn Detroit just creeping lol. Thanks for sharing bro can't wait for the next video, on that damn cat you might've found you a beast. 💯
Hi from uk Wayne 👋👍 yes I think also the word rare has a certain element of unique about it too as these trucks especially the cabover is unique yo to the original owner. And i am certainly impressed of how together the truck still I'd off the paper work you have also for S&G you'll find the cover on the front of the manual 🤣 hope someone can help get the few odds and ends to bring the cabover back to spec 👍can't wait till you get the workshop done and maybe think uou should keep all decorative posters or signs you get for that once done and also have a wall for old licence plates you come across think would really give you a buzz everytime you enter for work to be carried in future I call it wall motivation so on bad days or hard days your still inspired to keep moving forward 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
Hi Wayne ! Over the year's I've driven lots of different fleet semi trucks. As long as they got me safely to my destination, and back again , for the most part I didn't really care, or even think about how they were specked out. Mainly because I was driving company truck's, and didn't have any say so to begin with. Your Pete is nice. I hope you keep working on it , an eventually get it the way it came from the factory, an the way you want it . Take it easy Wayne , an enjoy your weekend !
Thanks Maxx! That's how it was for a lot of guys, the truck didn't matter it was a tool to get the work done. Then there were some stand out exceptions!
I love that old cabover. In the early to late 80's I would go with my dad on short overnight Midwest runs during my summer vacation. I loved every minute. It's great to see your keeping these old trucks alive.
1. Love the Big Bertha/SATB intro! 2. In the old pictures of Mossy Broke, any idea what that was in front of the tanks? Boxes? 3. Those some lights on the 352 are wild! Having em in the boxes is a great idea too.
Absolutely brilliant channel Wayne just subscribed, really appreciate your video's and the amount I've learnt about the older trucks especially the cabover's and engine derivative's of the time.
Hey now, proud to know that the '73 Peterbuilt came from my home state of Oklahoma! Makes me especially glad I found your channel a while back. Hope she treats you well for as long as you own it.
Excellent video, love checking out the build sheets. The gentleman that ordered that 352 took "Peterbilt Class" to the next level. Gotta get a new horn pull strap for it though!
Great video Wayne, learned a lot about your 352 it is filled with rare options Back then it took someone who knew what they wanted installed on the truck but it also took a salesman that knew the brand he was selling. There were no computers with check boxes to mark off, there were loads of 3 ring binders that the salesman and client poured over to get exactly what the client wanted. Anything was available not like today where if you want one thing you'd have to purchase it in a package with other items that you might not want.
Wayne Do You Remember the Truck Paper that came out every month ??? Shelby Elliott Had Some Of THE COOLEST Trucks he Specialized in V-8 Petes and Kenworths Back in The 80's and any ODD BALL Type of Truck Buying them and selling them Just one of my Favorite Memories from way back when !!! Great Vid Keep em comin !!!
Gday Wayne Awesome video my friend love that old cabover rare to see a truck that old and unmolested you can definitely Tell the owner loved that truck and looked after her for many years.Thanks for sharing.🍻🍻
I really like this sort of thing. Great vid. Truck options and oddball stuff that made it out there and how they did things. In regards to the Pyro big power trucks often were drove hard, heavy, or even both. I feel that's where the dual pyros came in.
The construction company that my dad worked for bought a 1974 KW 900 that was spec'ed by a farm family. They had 3 or 4 identical trucks with aluminum frames, 350 Cummins, 6spd main, 4spd OD aux, rear 3.73 geared, Spicer DD/RD52 drives, 14,000 steer. He had a brother who worked for Cummins for years build a hot rod Big Cam II 400 for it that was said to put out nearly 500 horsepower. It was a pretty cool truck that would drag a 48' cement powder tanker & 28' pup up the Rocky Mountain pass at 50 pretty easy. I don't know what size tires were originally used (it was changed to 11.00 x 24.5 when the guy put it as he wanted it) or who bought it when the company was dismantled & sold after he died in the late 90s..42
Great video Wayne really enjoyed the build sheet on Big Bertha 352 and the spec's it was built with that make it rare. Thanks for the history of your trucks. Looking forward to the next video stay safe Wayne.
I feel the same way about the super cool little rare details that you don't generally see on other trucks. Knowing that someone had ordered that specific thing a specific way, way back when is just so cool. I can't wait to see the vid on the 3408 truck. I love hearing you talk about all this cool shit
@@Ol2Stroker you could make a few hour long podcast just talking about cool old trucks and id listen to it lol. Also I ordered me a Keychain, can't wait to put it on my keys
We have many manuals of old trucks in our library at dealership. I've thumb through them interesting reading. At old location since 1973 but we just moved to new shop in June. Since we moved we didn't take them with us because we don't work on that stuff anymore. We have co-worker who has 73 cabover, 76 patriot 359 and patriot cabover. He has all of old manuals for petebilt, engines, transmission, rears, steering, microfiche cards and so on. We had 2 sets of microfiche so we still have them and he has the other set. Microfiche In ECAT now for most part
thanks for showing us the cool equipment on Big Bertha and another engine back in the day that was a powerful engine was the big al an engine made by allis chalmers tractor company it was painted purple and was mainly found in freightliner cab over and was about a 450 horse engine a friend told me knew a person that drove one back in the day
Yessir Matt, they had a terrible time keeping cranks in em and between that and not having the service network of the other engine manufacturers is what killed em. Shame too! I think they were late 70s. My buddy just restored one he's putting in a truck. Good comment I totally forgot about them!
I remember dad telling stories about trucking in the late 70s early 80s, started out in a 73 K100 with a 350 Cummins they pumped the guts out of so much it’d break the bolt heads off the head bolts so often he’d carry a set, then they put a set of Cat head bolts in and it stayed together til he blew a head gasket, pulled all 3 heads off and every piston was cracked dad said not to worry and put it back together a month later blew another head gasket pulled the heads and the pistons welded theirselves back together from so much fuel turned to it. Then his 3rd was a 78 359 with a KT 450 ran it for a month took it to Antrim Diesel in Greencastle Pa, they put a Big Cam aftercooler on it and made it a 600, then Cummins came out with the KTA 600, he was hauling grain for a guy that had brand new silver 92s, dad stopped on top of Cooper Rocks coming out of Morgantown WVa changed buttons quick got back on the road heading to Moorefeild WVa to the Pilgrims Poultry long story short dad unloaded and was heading back to get his second load and met the others going to get unloaded. Then my uncle had a 81 Extended hood 359, 3408 with a 6x4. I ain’t gonna brag but dad, my uncle and pap had some of the hottest trucks in the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio area back in the 80s
@@Ol2Stroker can’t tell how many times the trucks were in Overdrive. Spencer trucking is the company. Voted best Kenworth trucks for I don’t know how many years
Awesome video, my second favorite part about these trucks is finding out the history. Where did it come from, who had it, why was it spec’d the way it was. I think my actual favorite is the first clean out. It tells so much about where it’s been and who’s been caring for it or not! Keep up the great work man
Great video brother, very interesting details that most folks don't thinks about. To find the V12 Astro would be mint too btw!🍻 That cabover has to be my favorite "junk" as you call it but your "junk" is my dream brother, no homo🤣
Wayne, there was another Brockway dump truck at The Buck motorsports park this past Saturday (south of Lancaster, Pa. on route 272) at truckers day. Almost 600 trucks there, showing and/or pulling. Pretty big event, all day. A few from N.Y. Check into it, you might want to attend in the future.
Thanks for going through the build sheet Wayne. Very educational. I'm sure it's been Said before but the fact it's so intact is the most amazing thing. Good video Wayne. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks for the video Wayne. I’m sitting up here in Boston feeling like I died and went to Hell. Can’t wait to get outta here. My first name is Wayne as well. 👍
@@Ol2Stroker Boston is shutting down the Orange Line of their subway system. They’ve contracted with bus companies from all over the USA to move subway passengers on charter buses.

@@DanEBoyd yea Dan the superliner was late 78 iirc, so it was around the time everyone else had big power. Iirc the e9 500 V8 debuted with the superliner
My brother had a cruiseliner cabover with a v8 mack motor in it...500 hp....Back in the day of hauling lumber in the late 80.s he had superliner with v8 mack also....he'll of a truck with ton of grunt
@@edvisser3629 yesssss I need one of them!
I love the Packer Pete

Love all the information about old trucks. I started working on trucks in the mid 70's. This really brings back memories
Awesome!
Gather 'round kiddies it's story time with Uncle Wayno! 👍
Very good have you got a question Dougie?
Yes, when does bacon make a pulling tractor with the 12v149?
@@DougsterWolverineGarage Very good Dougie let's present that to our group leader Wayne
🤣🤣🤣
That'd be fun as hell! I'll tell him to get on it!
Brilliant video Wayne. Really interesting stuff 👌
Thanks man!
Man I love the old trucks and learning about the history of them. I'm a professional driver and seeing you work on and drive these old trucks makes me want to buy one to drive. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks Ben they're alotta work and a labor of love but I do love em!
@@Ol2Stroker I can see your passion. I'd much rather work on an older truck than mess with all the computers and sensors on this new junk!
@@bendahmm7393 true that Ben thanks!
Excellent Show, I learn alot more by watching your show, HP wars 70' they were finally getting above the 300 hp mark on average.
Hell yea I love a good historical horsepower war!
I love old manuals I actually have the complete set of books and a huge wiring diagram for my 55 GMC 4104 coach. I trust it more than whàt I read on the interweb. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Wayne.
Thanks man. Did you like this style video? I was super hesitant to post.
yeah me too, managed to find at a local swapmeet a complete 5 book Master Parts volumes Kenworth dealers used for my K125.
I could listen to someone who's passionate about something talk all day about something and when it's about old American iron I'm all in dude.
@@Ol2Stroker loved it iv been covered in grease all week so sometimes it's nice to just go over paperwork lol
@@lilypondgarage2968 me too brother! Been building the x5 and the caddy off camera!
Thanks for posting, back in the 60’s my dad and a neighbor down the road gave me truck brochures when I was a kid, I used to spec my truck when I was 12 years old. My dad used to say you think big for someone with no job and no money.lol
Oh man them sales brochures would be killer to have nowadays! That's awesome!
Great video, Wayne. The chap who specc’d that truck originally knew what he was about. Great to see you explain the different unique touches that your 352 was built with.
Thanks Ben. I was really nervous how this would go over
Man, that Astro was friggin' sweet! I didn't know that the no front brakes era included the '70s. I've seen some CF Freightliners online, which had all kinds of wild equipment for dealing with mountains and winter. Some of them old Freightliners came with aluminum frames too. '73 must've been about the end of the air intake running through the cab - and I've never noticed that setup with an extended sleeper. Mossybroke is the Phantom 1309...
Excellent video! Damn sure better than any class in school...
Intake through the sleeper went on at least through 1980.
The 1980 I drove had it and that sucker leaked like a sieve in heavy rain.
The intakes through the cab was the dumbest thing ever. The last cabover I had before this one was a v12 truck originally too, but it was an 86" cab and had 2 of them damn air intakes up through the cab! Ultra rare but holy cramped!
Yea Dan no front brakes was a thing until like 75-76 iirc
@@Ol2Stroker Yep every time you jacked up the cab it would break the seal.
I sure got tired of that.
It always leaked down into the bunk and tool compartment.
One truck I was glad to get rid of.
@@willardlentz3044 oh man that'd really piss me off too!
I've already seen that out of you, with ol mossy that truck is badass the color scheme alone screams badass, then you hear that damn Detroit just creeping lol. Thanks for sharing bro can't wait for the next video, on that damn cat you might've found you a beast. 💯
Thanks Donnell!
I didn't even finish the video yet but it's great!! I do really enjoy you're videos!!
Hi from uk Wayne 👋👍 yes I think also the word rare has a certain element of unique about it too as these trucks especially the cabover is unique yo to the original owner. And i am certainly impressed of how together the truck still I'd off the paper work you have also for S&G you'll find the cover on the front of the manual 🤣 hope someone can help get the few odds and ends to bring the cabover back to spec 👍can't wait till you get the workshop done and maybe think uou should keep all decorative posters or signs you get for that once done and also have a wall for old licence plates you come across think would really give you a buzz everytime you enter for work to be carried in future I call it wall motivation so on bad days or hard days your still inspired to keep moving forward 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
I agree completely Mark! Thanks!
Hi Wayne ! Over the year's I've driven lots of different fleet semi trucks. As long as they got me safely to my destination, and back again , for the most part I didn't really care, or even think about how they were specked out. Mainly because I was driving company truck's, and didn't have any say so to begin with. Your Pete is nice. I hope you keep working on it , an eventually get it the way it came from the factory, an the way you want it . Take it easy Wayne , an enjoy your weekend !
Thanks Maxx! That's how it was for a lot of guys, the truck didn't matter it was a tool to get the work done. Then there were some stand out exceptions!
I’m like you, I love the oddball stuff. Great info Wayne 👍
Hell yea 🤟🤟
I love that old cabover. In the early to late 80's I would go with my dad on short overnight Midwest runs during my summer vacation. I loved every minute. It's great to see your keeping these old trucks alive.
Man that's so cool Eric! I never got to do it as a kid!
BTW that build sheet is gold 👌
Totally!
Love the Smoky and the Bandit themed intros!!
Thanks man!
Thank you Wayne this was a great video
I'm glad y'all enjoyed it!
1. Love the Big Bertha/SATB intro!
2. In the old pictures of Mossy Broke, any idea what that was in front of the tanks? Boxes?
3. Those some lights on the 352 are wild! Having em in the boxes is a great idea too.
Thanks man! I think the things in the front of the tanks are chain boxes because it hauled flatbed
Absolutely brilliant channel Wayne just subscribed, really appreciate your video's and the amount I've learnt about the older trucks especially the cabover's and engine derivative's of the time.
Thanks man!
I have a confession im a truck nerd also i enjoyed finding out why its a rare truck an it would have looked great new . Cheers from oz 🇦🇺
Thanks Peter! Maybe I should start a support group for guys like us!
@@Ol2Stroker it would be a lost cause we like old junk too much
@@peterselten500 💯💯
Thank You Wayne that's very cool you have that document. It was a informative video👍
These old trucks couldn’t have a better home!
Thanks Wayne!
Good to see you again Wayne good luck with the trucks hope you an family have a great weekend buddy
Thanks Tommy you too
Great video i loved the paint schemes they came up with in the 70s mostly on the cabovers
The paint in the 70s was the absolute coolest part of old trucks!
Hey now, proud to know that the '73 Peterbuilt came from my home state of Oklahoma! Makes me especially glad I found your channel a while back. Hope she treats you well for as long as you own it.
Thanks Austin!
Excellent video, love checking out the build sheets. The gentleman that ordered that 352 took "Peterbilt Class" to the next level. Gotta get a new horn pull strap for it though!
Thanks man! Yes I sure do!
Great video Wayne, learned a lot about your 352 it is filled with rare options Back then it took someone who knew what they wanted installed on the truck but it also took a salesman that knew the brand he was selling. There were no computers with check boxes to mark off, there were loads of 3 ring binders that the salesman and client poured over to get exactly what the client wanted. Anything was available not like today where if you want one thing you'd have to purchase it in a package with other items that you might not want.
So true. I would love to find all the old dealer sales material from 73 to keep with this
Yep, Wayne & that's exactly why ur wayyy 😎 cool as far as yur channel & the idea's that u portray to all yur viewers & including me !!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Cool stuff Wayne thanks for all the neat info
Thanks for tuning in Brian!
Wayne Do You Remember the Truck Paper that came out every month ??? Shelby Elliott Had Some Of THE COOLEST Trucks he Specialized in V-8 Petes and Kenworths Back in The 80's and any ODD BALL Type of Truck Buying them and selling them Just one of my Favorite Memories from way back when !!! Great Vid Keep em comin !!!
Dude I wasn't paying attention to trucks back then but I see the old ads on Facebook every now and again he was the large car specialist for sure!
Very cool........... 👍👍
Hi ya Wayne I think you should open your back sleeper curtains and let some light shine in
I probably should you're right!
Gday Wayne Awesome video my friend love that old cabover rare to see a truck that old and unmolested you can definitely Tell the owner loved that truck and looked after her for many years.Thanks for sharing.🍻🍻
They really did!
WOW THAT IS A REAL NICE TRUCK MAN DID NOT NO IT WAS SO LOADED UP NICCCE MAN. NEXT TIME I COME UP THERE I AM GOING TO LOOK U UP JIMMY FROM LONG ISLAND
Thanks brother 🤟🤟
Can't wait to see the old Detroit posters.
They're so cool!
Great job wicked Wayne I love all your trucks man thank you for all your hard work on these videos man
Thanks man!
I really like this sort of thing. Great vid. Truck options and oddball stuff that made it out there and how they did things. In regards to the Pyro big power trucks often were drove hard, heavy, or even both. I feel that's where the dual pyros came in.
That's a really good thought man. I think it's one of the coolest things about a 12!
Cool video dude, I like this sort of stuff. Very interesting.
Absolutely love Big Bertha, man! Always had a soft spot for cab overs, and always will. Key chain looks awesome too!
Same here Pinecone!

It's funny cuz i literally have to read these to drivers. Especially for ac and opti idle stuff!
Thanks Matt!
The construction company that my dad worked for bought a 1974 KW 900 that was spec'ed by a farm family. They had 3 or 4 identical trucks with aluminum frames, 350 Cummins, 6spd main, 4spd OD aux, rear 3.73 geared, Spicer DD/RD52 drives, 14,000 steer. He had a brother who worked for Cummins for years build a hot rod Big Cam II 400 for it that was said to put out nearly 500 horsepower. It was a pretty cool truck that would drag a 48' cement powder tanker & 28' pup up the Rocky Mountain pass at 50 pretty easy. I don't know what size tires were originally used (it was changed to 11.00 x 24.5 when the guy put it as he wanted it) or who bought it when the company was dismantled & sold after he died in the late 90s..42
Cool Don thanks for sharing!
Great video Wayne really enjoyed the build sheet on Big Bertha 352 and the spec's it was built with that make it rare. Thanks for the history of your trucks. Looking forward to the next video stay safe Wayne.
Thanks Richard! You too!
Absolutely love the old cab overs. I really wanna get my own, but detroit powered. Just because i want can. Nothing better than old iron
Absolutely Kyle do it! Old trucks are fun!
I feel the same way about the super cool little rare details that you don't generally see on other trucks. Knowing that someone had ordered that specific thing a specific way, way back when is just so cool. I can't wait to see the vid on the 3408 truck. I love hearing you talk about all this cool shit
Man that's awesome thanks because I was super nervous about doing just a talking video.
@@Ol2Stroker you could make a few hour long podcast just talking about cool old trucks and id listen to it lol.
Also I ordered me a Keychain, can't wait to put it on my keys
@@Mun56203 badass thanks man! I got a bunch of orders actually I'm shocked. Gonna get em all out today!
We have many manuals of old trucks in our library at dealership. I've thumb through them interesting reading. At old location since 1973 but we just moved to new shop in June. Since we moved we didn't take them with us because we don't work on that stuff anymore. We have co-worker who has 73 cabover, 76 patriot 359 and patriot cabover. He has all of old manuals for petebilt, engines, transmission, rears, steering, microfiche cards and so on. We had 2 sets of microfiche so we still have them and he has the other set. Microfiche In ECAT now for most part
Man I wish I could get them old manuals!
That was some awesome info.those are some really cool trucks.i love how the cab over and mossybroke sounds.they sound sick.👍👊
Thanks man!
thanks for showing us the cool equipment on Big Bertha and another engine back in the day that was a powerful engine was the big al an engine made by allis chalmers tractor company it was painted purple and was mainly found in freightliner cab over and was about a 450 horse engine a friend told me knew a person that drove one back in the day
Yessir Matt, they had a terrible time keeping cranks in em and between that and not having the service network of the other engine manufacturers is what killed em. Shame too! I think they were late 70s. My buddy just restored one he's putting in a truck. Good comment I totally forgot about them!
I remember dad telling stories about trucking in the late 70s early 80s, started out in a 73 K100 with a 350 Cummins they pumped the guts out of so much it’d break the bolt heads off the head bolts so often he’d carry a set, then they put a set of Cat head bolts in and it stayed together til he blew a head gasket, pulled all 3 heads off and every piston was cracked dad said not to worry and put it back together a month later blew another head gasket pulled the heads and the pistons welded theirselves back together from so much fuel turned to it. Then his 3rd was a 78 359 with a KT 450 ran it for a month took it to Antrim Diesel in Greencastle Pa, they put a Big Cam aftercooler on it and made it a 600, then Cummins came out with the KTA 600, he was hauling grain for a guy that had brand new silver 92s, dad stopped on top of Cooper Rocks coming out of Morgantown WVa changed buttons quick got back on the road heading to Moorefeild WVa to the Pilgrims Poultry long story short dad unloaded and was heading back to get his second load and met the others going to get unloaded. Then my uncle had a 81 Extended hood 359, 3408 with a 6x4. I ain’t gonna brag but dad, my uncle and pap had some of the hottest trucks in the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio area back in the 80s
Hot damn it sure sounds like they had some badass shit!!! Awesome!
@@Ol2Stroker can’t tell how many times the trucks were in Overdrive. Spencer trucking is the company. Voted best Kenworth trucks for I don’t know how many years
Very interesting information Wayne. I really enjoyed the video and as usual, can hardly wait until the next one.
Thanks bud!
I watched this video 3 times now,Great video Wayne… I learned a few things from this video,Good stuff as always brotha….
Hell yea thanks Tony 🤟🤟
Nice video. Wayne's an Aussie truckie, Certainly an unusual list of options.
Hell yea you guys rock🤟🤟
Awesome video, my second favorite part about these trucks is finding out the history. Where did it come from, who had it, why was it spec’d the way it was. I think my actual favorite is the first clean out. It tells so much about where it’s been and who’s been caring for it or not! Keep up the great work man
Dude same here!
I love those old cabovers especially the one with the V12 screaming Jimmy
Looking forward to see what you do with that V8 cat
Hell yea thanks!
Great video brother, very interesting details that most folks don't thinks about. To find the V12 Astro would be mint too btw!🍻 That cabover has to be my favorite "junk" as you call it but your "junk" is my dream brother, no homo🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 for sure man! I would buy that astro in a heartbeat if I could find it!
Really cool stuff Wayne! Great vidja
Thanks Matt!
Wayne, there was another Brockway dump truck at The Buck motorsports park this past Saturday (south of Lancaster, Pa. on route 272) at truckers day. Almost 600 trucks there, showing and/or pulling. Pretty big event, all day. A few from N.Y. Check into it, you might want to attend in the future.
Oh cool thanks!
