The 358 Peterbilt was built from 1968 onwards. Very stable vehicle and learned to drive on a copy of the Soviet Union made in the Ukraine, the Kraz, in the military. G5, Kraz and Ural were the vehicles we used back then. Laugh, you can see where you bought one. In 1976, I drove a longer 358 Peterbilt myself, after I had changed and crossed the border. My boss at the time had one as a replacement vehicle. Normally we drove the MAN Büssing, the Scania and quite honestly the Scania 140 was the best truck I ever drove. Good luck Rick, take good care of the truck, it will always serve you well. Stay healthy and stay the way you are. Greetings from Grankfurt. Gerold
IFA G5 mit Werkstattkoffer A Baujahr 1964 TH-cam · Militär- und Landtechnik Klaus Schröder 07.05.2023 by TH-cam Rick the old Peterbilt, was a great truck. No power steering, transmission, you learned to shift gears, always pay attention to the revs so that the machine didn't run away. It wasn't for nothing that he became a driver. Smile, only with strong arms could you drive in the mountains, with lots of bends and backwards, always looking in the mirror, or something was in the way.
Hey Wrecker Rick, just want to say me and my dad love your videos. We even watched this one twice(lol). He's been down lately after a series of health problems but every time a new video drops he just lights up again! Much appreciate you & Mrs. Wrecker Rick and the Wrecker Rick crew!
@@trail-wolf4x4 best to the you and Ole Man….times like this is hard for both son and father….I pray that you both fare well and fight like Hell to keep on keeping ON👊🇺🇸👊
Glass is not a problem for that truck, anyone with real flat glass experience will have no problem cutting all new glass for the truck. when I was in high school my friends father owned a glass business and I worked for them for two years doing flat glass. We did a ton of glass on heavy equipment usually on job sites where the equipment was left and vandalized.
Great video of ole Eddie I got my CDL in an ole International 8V71. Better put a drip pan under Eddie they leak oil like crazy. They make noise but no power . God love em . Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
You should call him "Special Ed". I love all the added metal they've put on the truck thru the years. That truck has personality & so much history. Will be cool to see it when done. Love your channel!
Everyone knows "Eddies" are a different breed altogether. They are a little squirky, a little funny and a whole lot of useless information. But as my brother Eddie says , " I might be a tool , but at least I'm a useful tool ! Love the beginning, looking forward to thre build
I was in the ready mix industry for 50 years. I learned how to drive with a 5 and A4 I think it was a Diamond Rio C180 8yard ready mix truck. I also drove an old half cab with A6V71 Detroit hooked up to an Allison transmission. I can remember laying in bed at night and my ears were just screaming. Love your channel Stay classy!
Screamin Demon. Those engines were insanely loud. Knew a guy who next to one on a drill rig all day - no ear protection - damn near stone cold deaf after 5 years and could barely sleep due to severe Tinnitus. Those engines were a menace.
For goodness sake tell Danaro not to pick his nose on camera. I’m sitting in the hospital waiting on my wife. She’s having some test done. But anyway I’m laughing out loud at Wrecker Rick, driving that old truck around and the cat insert when the guys ran away from the truck. You’re awesome Rick!
Ran a 74 Astro for a friend of mine hauling grain was turned abut a bit you shifted at around 2400 to 2500 318 13 speed when you haul out the field heavy you don’t make any money at 4 miles per gallon
What is up Ranger Rick? Good to see another one of your videos up so fast. I can watch your videos for hours. You guys are the best. God Bless you and your family!
I’m early in the video. Not sure if you’re going to paint the truck? Paint, or match the tanks with the same paint or patina with stainless straps on the fuel tanks! Just saying! Ronnie East, Tennessee
Seriously ? It's starts running away and everybody runs away from the truck. I have never seen anyone do that before. Most people are prepared for it and try to shut it down... The term run away is for the engine, not the people working on it . This video was almost painful to watch between the engine running away, ignoring the locked up brake, and then the "drive". I drove truck for over 40 years, and the first truck I drove was a Kenworth W-900 with an 8V-71. They are gutless, make a lot of noise, leak a lot of oil, and the jakes aren't great either. Ether is your friend with a 318 in cold weather. I did drive a 358 Pete log truck that also had a 318. Fortunately the engine in that truck had some work done to it, so it ran decent back in the day. I absolutely loved that truck... I'm looking forward to seeing the changes. I was a little surprised that you are changing the frame.
The new shop is looking amazing and I can’t wait to see it filled with jobs in need of being done !!! It’s looking like there’s going to be living quarters over the office space in the future,not sure if it’s for storage but it looks like a large spot for future use!!!! Can’t wait to see the place finished and wondering how the outside is looking and if the pumps are in yet!!???
@ A live update on the news of the progress would be amazing!!! And I loved the girls getting dressed up like you it put a big fat smile on my face those girls are amazing!!!
I’ve never commented on a video before. I was a diesel mechanic when I was younger. I’ve worked a lot on the old two stroke engines. They are constantly dripping oil from the blower drain box. The 892 was very popular especially the silver version. The 871 was your everyday get the job done motor. The trick with them is each injector was controlled with the rack bar and if the rack bar was out of adjustment they would run away until they grenade. Pound for pound they were an amazing motor but they had their drawbacks. Don’t ever start one without the emergency shutdown installed. When they grenade they send parts everywhere. There’s no rpm limit. Just fyi.
Back in the day the 892 Silver TTA was the competition for the big CATs on the hills mentioned in all the old country songs that involved truck driving. I have a soft spot for the two strokes. I spent lots of time working on them. And the second most popular was the 855 series Cummins.
Keep doing what you want to do Wrecker Rick!!! I kinda like what @Mr Thang33 said He should be Called "Special ED"!!! I do believe that truck will kick all kinds of ass when you replace frames and give Ole ED a special tune/updates LOL God Bless and keep up the great videos!!!
I canceled the card yesterday, I had to reupload cause of the voice overs we’re talking over my audio, also had a you stay classy half way through the video. It’s better now, 😂
I saw the first video of this ,and im still lmfao. That was hilarious when you were driving Fast Eddie lol around the yard and one axle was stuck. You guy's are great. More Eddie videos please.
It was funny to see the boys run when Eddie went to warp drive he was a Runaway child running wild , he ain’t slow and he ain’t fast he’s half fast . Cant wait to see him transform into an asphalt eating monster “ The Amazing Eddie “
ol2stroker here on youtube can probably help you with any questions or finding parts. Love the truck and looking foreword to seeing what you do with it.
The 871 actually gets its name from the number of cylinders and cubic inch displacement per cylinder. So it’s 8 cylinders and 71 cubic inches per cylinder
Well 8 cylinders @ 71 cubic inches displacement, very similar to the GM 16-645 16 cylinders @ 645 cubic inches displacement, when these big boys run away 1500 RPM it's no big deal they're inside a locomotive, you can stand right next to them.
Great show love your gang and Family "Keep up the one liners" always good for a laugh after a long hot day Like you said " STAY CLASSY " WR keep 'em coming DG fr Kona
Rick I’m wondering if those rod assists are why the hood didn’t want to close properly and wondered if there’s a switch to hit for the functions on those rods!!???? It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it on a rig and wondered if cabovers have something similar to the assisted rods on this 1969 beauty!!????
Wait Wait, Nice Shop😀 gonna be a nice build👊🏻😁 one guy to reach out to that has a you tube channel is ole 2 strokes. Does everything two stroke engines for semis
Well I’m a watching…but nope…ain’t doing it….missed yah a few…gotta go back and see where this Rig came from. Original power plant? Alright already watched to much:.BRB
Is there a running from it? Why don’t you try to flip the emergency flap on the back of the blower and it will shut it down the reason it ran away is you failed to see if the rack was free? You failed to take the fuel lines loose and spray some PB blaster or some kind in the injectors and it wouldn’t of run away

Tell your dad that he is in our prayers! I hope he pulls through and gets better! That’s nice to hear that we bring him joy! Stay classy !

Eddie LIVES... mostly anyhow. I feel like the aluminum frame is one of Eddie's most unique features. It is a bummer to see it get swapped out
Like the KICK THE TIRES and LIGHT THE FIRES attitude . Good to see Eddie up and going . Start of a great project .
Your best yet. Look forward to watching the build. Now I find myself looking for an old truck to rebuild. Nice shop.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!

8V92 in a 1978 Cabover 352 for me. I loved the old Detroits
You should call him "Special Ed". I love all the added metal they've put on the truck thru the years. That truck has personality & so much history. Will be cool to see it when done. Love your channel!
That is a Great Idea Special ED!!!! He will be special when both transfer cases work!!! I bet it would pull a house off it's foundation!!! LOL
Everyone knows "Eddies" are a different breed altogether. They are a little squirky, a little funny and a whole lot of useless information.
But as my brother Eddie says , " I might be a tool , but at least I'm a useful tool !
Love the beginning, looking forward to thre build
Closin in on 100k guys keep it up!
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Love the recovery man lift!
Now i am convinced people in Arizona are crazy!
The Card info is still showing @ 7:43 😂 Edit: After reading other comments, the card is canceled. So you sketchy Mo Fo’s watching, don't even try!
18:40 😂 everyone ran away

Will do😂! hopefully good news! Thank you sir
RUUN FOREEST RUUUN !
Watch some of Bus Grease Monkey. That's what he mainly works on, is the old Detroit.
Cool to hear it run
I'm very happy to hear you'll be restoring her. Being that it will be upgraded, us hot rodders call the term "resto rod."
Great Video, glad to see the old Pete "Eddie " start up.
This is great content. Seriously excited for this build!

Wow your videos are right up there with Dave Sparks now. I can hardly tell the difference 😂😂
What is up Ranger Rick? Good to see another one of your videos up so fast. I can watch your videos for hours. You guys are the best. God Bless you and your family!
Just driving to Indiana, I appreciate that! God bless y’all too !
Rick I hope you canceled that credit card 😅 7:43 timestamp!
I did! Thanks to y’all! I didn’t even realize it till it had 30 k views ! 😂
Can't wait to see Eddie going on the new chassis
I’m early in the video. Not sure if you’re going to paint the truck? Paint, or match the tanks with the same paint or patina with stainless straps on the fuel tanks! Just saying! Ronnie East, Tennessee
Double brested Yamaha!
Deja Vu Baby! You know you're watching good content when you are entertained the second time watching.
Thank you ! 😂
Come on Rick, it’s Fast Eddie now
😂You bet it is!
Very funny but you knew that sky lift wasn't going to pull that old girl 😂😂
A 3408 sure would look good under that hood , never late with a V8 😅
Or a 1693 wouldn't be bad either.
@glennoliphint8691 A good old scraper engine the old twin overhead cam

Thank you! I can’t wait either, we are at a stand still again waiting for the county, still needs pavement and concrete slabs around it. No pumps yet
@ A live update on the news of the progress would be amazing!!! And I loved the girls getting dressed up like you it put a big fat smile on my face those girls are amazing!!!
It's gonna be cool to see what you do with Eddie. Happy Halloween to you all! (And Deniro!)
When I was at the Diesel School they said the best rack they had ever seen run was by a blind guy. They said it all about feel.
Cousin Eddie. Hey Clark!!
Its gonna be a sweet, cool looking ride when its done
Thank you
Love them screaming Detroit’s, 8v92 silver!!!
The colors reminds me of Safeway truck
Eddie will be an awesome project truck 😊
I had to watch 2 times. But damn I loved it
Nicely done!
Thank you! Appreciate it!

Project X. The new Beginning!
I saw the first video of this ,and im still lmfao. That was hilarious when you were driving Fast Eddie lol around the yard and one axle was stuck. You guy's are great. More Eddie videos please.
Thank you! Plenty more to come!
It was funny to see the boys run when Eddie went to warp drive he was a Runaway child running wild , he ain’t slow and he ain’t fast he’s half fast . Cant wait to see him transform into an asphalt eating monster “ The Amazing Eddie “
Alright, now that ive seen the jakes, i need to hear thr jakes!!

You know what would look good on that? A Holmes 750 😁
Having Mrs. Wrecker Rick on will take your thunder Wrecker Rick....
Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Wrecker Rick glad to see ya'll I know this a very awesome video
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Well Runaway Rick, this is the 2nd time I’ve watched this video. Even better the 2nd time around!
Thank you!
ol2stroker here on youtube can probably help you with any questions or finding parts. Love the truck and looking foreword to seeing what you do with it.
Thank you, I’ll check them out!
All fixed 👌 keep up the grind wrecker Rick!
Yup !
Saw that last night.
I know you are saying Eddie, but what about:
Hard Nose
Fast Cash
Money Train
Awesome video man, really cool facts your dropping! Powerful Wrecker Rick!!!
Thank you !
I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks and you cars
Enjoy your new video content Rick.
Big old BANGER
We have some of those engines on our air start units at work. They make a lot of noise when at full throttle, lol.
They really are loud, I think they sound great though!
You have everything you need owning a towing company!
The 871 actually gets its name from the number of cylinders and cubic inch displacement per cylinder. So it’s 8 cylinders and 71 cubic inches per cylinder
Wide open-no doubt!! Office chairs to teh rescue....Non other than Murphey's!!
It’s not a job, it’s an adventure!
I have a cheap 1964 needle nose Pete butterfly hood if you need another one for your other project is in az
Can you send me info to rick@murphysdiesel.com
Eddie reminds me of the movie maximum overdrive😎🤙
I love the old Detroit engine
Eddie T shirts plz.
Great episode
Keep em coming
I think I know where you're going with Eddie..
Well 8 cylinders @ 71 cubic inches displacement, very similar to the GM 16-645 16 cylinders @ 645 cubic inches displacement, when these big boys run away 1500 RPM it's no big deal they're inside a locomotive, you can stand right next to them.
I think that you should have just driven Eddy with the Jimmy home from Vegas! (Also, loved the promo for United Rental)
😂 I thought about it
Very amusing video
Thank you sir !
Great show love your gang and Family "Keep up the one liners" always good for a laugh after a long hot day Like you said " STAY CLASSY " WR keep 'em coming DG fr Kona
Bringing one back from the dead!
I know a certain someone else who is even better at doing that:)
I did comment on your last video before you took it off and re-edited it I had a Ridge wallet for year and 1/2 thanks for the 10% off
Appreciate the support and glad you're enjoying your wallet!
So how much stuff was fraudulently purchased on your card before you canceled it. Lol
It's amazing how quickly those charges racked up!
Rick I’m wondering if those rod assists are why the hood didn’t want to close properly and wondered if there’s a switch to hit for the functions on those rods!!???? It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it on a rig and wondered if cabovers have something similar to the assisted rods on this 1969 beauty!!????
It was hitting my temporary fuel lines, and bent one of the rods. It does have a switch in the cab, but only works if it has air going to it
Yes cab overs have a jack on them to assist
Awesome
Sweet
EDDIE!!
When you're downshifting "Eddie" take it out at 19,000 rpm put it in at 44,000 tpm😮
Reupload
Yeah updated version had some editing issues it’s better now
Wait Wait, Nice Shop😀 gonna be a nice build👊🏻😁 one guy to reach out to that has a you tube channel is ole 2 strokes. Does everything two stroke engines for semis
Ol2Stroker, and not only semis
I’ll check him out! Thank you !
Well I’m a watching…but nope…ain’t doing it….missed yah a few…gotta go back and see where this Rig came from. Original power plant? Alright already watched to much:.BRB
2nd watch 2nd👍🏼
Keep them coming
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Time to cancel that card 😂 oops
The old Detroit diesel
They used to call that the "Strangler", cause it cut off the air
Uhhh deleted 2015 kw daycab paccar motor.. it rips lol supposed to be 525hp tune but 80k it pulls everyday. really lights fast to it seems
Good stuff 👍 everyone ask why I always dump money in my 06 Cummins….. only the real ones know why.
I swear I watched this video yesterday, because I commented on the jimmy 318
I had to take it down cause there was a problem with the sound I fixed it and put it back up
@@MURPHYSDIESELok for a minute I thought I was losing it
You could tell the trucks with Detroit diesel engines had dual exhaust stacks
Clicked hours ago and said video was private 🇺🇸.
Are you going to keep the old patina or are you going to have it painted something different or restore the original paint job it has now?
I’m going to save the patina
Is there a running from it? Why don’t you try to flip the emergency flap on the back of the blower and it will shut it down the reason it ran away is you failed to see if the rack was free? You failed to take the fuel lines loose and spray some PB blaster or some kind in the injectors and it wouldn’t of run away
