- James and I travel 2000 miles to save a neglected old Peterbilt left for dead. Will we make it? Will the truck and trailer I built survive without issue? Watch and see!

I don't usually make these kind of comments but in response to your remark "this is the worst day I've had in a long time". I would give my left nut to be where you guys are doing what you are doing instead of sitting in this old folks home waitin to die. Count your lucky stars Wayne. You are a truly Blessed man.
Man Ray that comment sure hits home on perspective. I really appreciate you taking a moment to share that because I am indeed truly blessed and honestly very grateful for it even though it don't seem it sometimes. I sure wish I had something more uplifting to say to ya bud but no matter if you have 1 day left or 10,000 I sure appreciate every minute of your time you spend here with me watching the channel. Great comment thanks again.
Wayno go rescue this ol dog and take him for a ride
@@adventurer150 now your talking😀
@@adventurer150 oh man I would love that 🤟🤟🤟
@@Ol2Stroker go get the guys left nut and take him for a cruise in the mossy broke
Great Tribute to Smokey and The Bandit Opening!
Thanks man I was hoping y'all would get it!
I cannot get over the sound of that Pete. Absolutely love it!
I do too, it could use the volume turned down a notch after 30ish hours lol
Carried my little JBL portable speaker to take a leak while Pete was screaming. The sound and vibration was something one of my girlfriend's would like, lol.
@@SpectrumRob 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to crack the passenger window & sweet walk that gear box. All 1 can say sing pretty sweet pete.
There's nothing like that motor & a 13 behind it. I love it.
Loved the Smokey and the Bandit like opening! ❤
Thanks man! I was hoping that'd be cool
This truck came from right down the road from my house please take care of it that’s a legendary truck around here
Hell yea Colby I know it is 🤟🤟
Dude you got a v8 cat! Those are way cool. I know I know it's not a detroit , but it's still cool! Thanks for the laughs and your hard work!
Hell yea! I thought it'd be fun to try something new!
Looks like the start of smokey and the bandit
Was hoping someone would notice!
@@Ol2Stroker well the idiot from Australia did lmao 🤣
i feel like i need to drink beer with yall, james sounds even grumpier than me when beating a clusterfuck into submission in the heat, we pay for our lack of road salt with the fires of hell here on the gulf coast
Buddy you ain't kidding we got a good lesson. Both of us were super grumpy during that fiasco but it just makes us tougher in the end. 💪
My best friend had a 3408 in a W-900L, beast of a truck! Back in the early 80's I worked for a Co. out of Phoenix, and while my truck was getting a rearend replaced, they ask me to take this old cabover Pete to LA and back to test out a 430 Detroit they had been hopping up, and had installed a electric fuel pump to help the manual pump, and they had so much fuel turned to it that it would run out of fuel about half way up a mountain pass! Told me to flip on this toggle switch when going up the mountain, and see if it helped? Dang, that old Detroit came to life, and pulled that load of produce up that mountain like it was not there! Needless to say, I left the switch flipped on a lot of that trip, turned that old Pete into a hotrod! It got about 3 MPG with the switch flipped on, and around 5 MPG with it off!
Oh wow Stanley I've never heard of that trick but I'd sure love to see how they did it on that truck! Badass 🤟
@John nice man! I've still got to turn this one up yet
I could listen to the sound of an ole 2 stroker all day. It’s my favorite song lol
All things considered, this was a helluva road trip for Mossy and I'm glad ya'll made it there and back in one piece (and Kudos to James for saving you from the heat!). Beyond grateful that James went with you, would have been a complete sh*t show if you brought me ;) Super proud of what you've accomplished with Mossy over the past few years, she's come a long way thanks to your hard work and dedication!
❤️
@@Ol2Stroker Very fortunate you have Tracey's encouragement ..........and approval .
"They Drive by Night" the story of Wayne and James big adventure pushin' old iron 2000 miles to recover more old iron! And what a story man! Awesome....I could just feel the heat and humidity sapping everything outta you two, but you got her loaded and on the road...plus throw in a cool truck show to finish off! It just doesn't get much better brother man...THANK YOU!
Thanks Terry sure appreciate the love 🤟🤟
That's a badass movie by the way!! Great reference!
@@Ol2Stroker All right brother....I figured I was the only one on here old enough to know that was actual movie...good call!
@@terrystewart2070 someone recommended it to me a while back. Ain't a bad flick for being black and white! We're all showing our age now lol
Love the Smoke and The Bandit style intro 👌🏼Keep the awesome shit coming
Thanks man I was really hoping y'all would dig it
i loved the opening of the video and that 2 stroke sounds good pulling a load, hope that big cat is goo the rest of the truck looks like it has a chance to be a cool truck an last i liked that old freightliner setting next to at the truck show that paint it was cool classic look
I sure wish I coulda talked that guy out of that shaker! It wasn't for lack of trying!
Was that just a shaker or a White/Freightliner?
Congrats on winning the flag Matt! keep those tractors running! 👍
@@DougsterWolverineGarage good question I actually don't remember but it was a real sweetheart. Total low mileage time capsule
Great video!!! Tons of Detroit music is always great. That truck is worth saving and a 3408 would be an awesome addition to the fleet...gonna be a lot of work, but that paint scheme is perfect...with about 30 inches of frame stretch, that truck will be killing it!
Shewwwww buddy she'll be a large car for sure then!
Great video Wayne Great intro to the video. Absolutely love listening to that Detroit work empty or loaded. Thanks for sharing your trip to go get your next project truck. Glad you made it there and back home with minor problems. Looking forward to the will it start video on the kitty stay safe Wayne.
Thanks Richard sure appreciate it I'm really happy to have this no longer hanging over my head!
ROAD-TRIP! That was fun, thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the will it start…
Thanks Bruce me too!
Thank you for the video Wayne, James is sure a great friend to have. 👍
He's for sure a good friend! We try to do whatever we can for each other
I enjoy watching you work. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and post!
Thanks Charles sure appreciate y'all watching
Thanks again for your time mate, love the show. I'd love to have a look around your country maybe next year, I'll bring some beers.
I like beer!
Listening to that ol' 2 stroker hummin' through my Bose headphones was freakin awesome. I learned how to drive with a silver 92 and a 13 speed back in '85. Great memories.
That's badass James!!! Glad you enjoyed it 🤟
Thanks brotha for standing up for the ol 2 strokes
Nice looked like a fun trip!! Can't wait to hear that run hopefully it's ok, to bad the truck is so rough. Thanks for the great vid appreciate it👍
Thanks man! I can't wait to bring y'all a first start video.
Gotta get James a wife beater, shorts and some flip flops.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dad & his buddy were driving for an implement dealer in the 70s during the times when the teamsters were wreaking havoc on non-member trucks. They were in an IHC 4070 with extended bunk & would take turns between the driver's seat & the bunk, both with sawed off 12 gauges & the load lights on & the engine on fast idle all night so they could see what was going on & be able to make a quick dash. It must have been hell trying to sleep over top of the running 8V71 at 1500rpm. I used to sit in the truck while he was pulling it into the shop when he would get home & toot the air horn coming through the door.
Times were wild back in the 70s it's wild what the teamsters got away with
The green and yellow have a detroit 2 stroke /??? Man I love the scream of those motors! One of the trucks my uncle had on the farm was a GMC Brigadier , Man she would get it! .
Yea it does 8v92.
Thanks for taking us along to the get the truck and you all had to really work hard to get that rim off, so you could get a wheel with a tire on it, on the truck . And having to deal with the hot temperature was bad, but you all finally got it loaded and chained down . I know that it's going to be a lot of work and take a lot of time . But I believe that it can be made into a really nice looking truck . That old green Pete is an awesome sounding truck moving down the highway, hauling butt . I love your music with the video and the different angle shots, it was a great video . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe working on the trucks and traveling .
🤗👍💖💫
Thanks Jeffrey glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! The 92 sounds wicked! 3408 is also a great motor, sounds a bit like a tugboat, they will pull for sure. Thanks bud!
I can't wait to see how it sounds!
Awesome video Wayne thanks for letting us roll with you brother!!
Thanks for watching Don!
My god i love the sound of a two stroke!!!!!!!! Best sound in the world..... Thank you guys!
Hell yea Buzz!
I absolutely love that old truck. What a find! Talk about a dream come true, I’d love to see if running down the road someday.
You and me both brother!!
Great video. Nothing better than sketchy mechanics and the possibility of death by breaker bar. Can't wait to see you start on your new Junk!!😁
Thanks John! The breaker bar deal was certainly sketchy!
Love love love love love the smokey and the banditesque intro!!!
Man that makes me happy I was really tryna put a cool intro together for the channel.
Dang Son, this is my kind of channel, drivin Petes, rescueing Petes, blowin scales, what more could an old Peterbilt driver want. Im subscribed , tuned in and watching from eastern Iowa, damn glad i found you.
Thanks brother I'm glad ya found me too 🤟🤟
Great intro on this video! Yes, we are having summer down here in the south. June was pretty nice, but July has been hot and humid down here in Virginia. Great video Wayne, thanks for taking us along on the trip.
Thanks man! I was hoping y'all would like the intro. Think it'll be the intro going forward what do you think?
@@Ol2Stroker Sure, why not?
Another great video! I can't wait for the next one 👍
Thanks James!
Thank you for taking the time to do all the filming - it may be your least favourite part but that's what we get to see. It sucks working outside in that heat but brother, you are living the dream. Looking forward to watching all the updates on the V8 CAT.
Just wanted to add that the new Pete has probably my favourite paint scheme - is it unique?
Thanks Matt! We are for sure living the dream I just wish I could do it full time
I'm not sure on the paint to be honest, but it had the look. 👍
That into was sweet! You said it was not fun to load now I understand why, wow that wheel was tight! Absolute pleasure meeting you at the show!
Great to meet you too brother thanks for tuning in!
Hope you don't catch the hives from sipping that cat juice LOL another great video thanks Wayne!
Lol prolly got toxo 🤣🤣 thanks chip
Hi great video as always big big up to you since the France 🇫🇷 and has the next video 👍 👌 💪 😎
The truck sounds and runs great on the road Wayne. That 3408 is another beast as well. Good video!
*3408* them 3208s were throw aways
Awesome nice ride along loved it
Thanks Eric!
Thank you Wayne love the content content
Thanks Ben sure appreciate it!
6:04 that’s full of somethin, schmoo. 😂😂😂
Me being a die hard Smokey and the Bandit fan. That was a awesome intro to this video 😎👍🏼
I was hoping someone would notice! I wanted to toss my own take on it. Think it's the new channel intro. Whaddaya think?
@@Ol2Stroker It’s a defendant yes . Very cool intro😎👍🏼
@@robertbrake9927 🤟🤟🤟 thanks man.
Nice Tribute Intro to Smokey and the Bandit 🥹
Thanks Eric I was hoping people would get it!
She’s rough but glad you’re saving her
They're all rough when they get here 🤟
Never late with a 3408. Very collectible truck, my favorite.
Hell yea!!
What an awesome video Wayne. Definitely need to have James join you guys next year at Onaway. Can’t wait to see more videos on the 3408. The old 92 sounds great, what a sweet old rig.
Thanks Doug! I think he'd have a blast up there!
Been waiting for this one to come out!!! Can't wait to watch!
Thanks brother 🤟🤟
I second that
@@kevinmoran2423 thanks man🤟
keep em coming i cant stop watching wayne cant wait till next year see you in onaway
Hell yea Raul thanks for watching bud!
You did an amazing job on that trailers hydraulic system 👏🙌👍👌
Awesome intro Wayne. Love your truck, its is a weapon. I received my black mudflaps today, couldn't believe how quick they got to New Zealand, Cheers mate they will go good on my 94 Western Star with its series 60 in her👍
Hey man I'm thrilled to hear you got them already and you're happy with them! Thanks for the order man and for watching!
Simply awesome video, Brother 💯
When you pulled into for fuel I had a flashback that I was in Quebec Canada hauling lumber...with all the Frenchman truckers..lol...awesome find...nothing like having your own trailer to do it your way...
Hell yea Ed 🤟🤟 really pumped to finally have a trailer
They'll love you at the shows with that 3408 as well as the Detroit 8V92 AND the 12V71 [very cool indeed]. Fun video. Good to see yourself and Mr. Bacon out on the road together. Please do continue the videos, as there is not enough of this kind of in depth stuff going on here on the old inter-webs :-)) Thanks! Nice!
Thanks man sure appreciate ya tuning in! I think the truck had a great look to it had to have it
@@Ol2Stroker Ya a real looker [in the coolest kinda grumpy way]. :-)
That was quite the operation there fellas, super glad i got to see the trucks and meet you at macungie
Great to meet you man I'm glad you liked the video!
I drove a mid-80s GMC general with a 318 Detroit 13 speed tri axle. The guys at the quarry used to call me the bus driver. That old Detroit was a screaming machine.
Bus motors baby!
Planning to rescue the truck plus hitting the Macungie show was great thinking, even though the heat and the Budd lug nuts almost did you in . I didn't see you staying hydrated with your usual beverage, and thought you'd drive refreshed with the AC in your Pete. But then saw all your windows open . You're lucky to partner with a friend like James, because he stuck with you through the worst of times ! Good video !
Oh baby,,, the sound of your silver 92 brought back years of my life.
I would add two turbo one for each side. Air to air intake cooler. A oil and transmission cooler the size of a car radiator with fans.
The cost of 3408 parts are crazy expensive,, they have their own club and proud of it.
Yea any cat parts nowadays are silly. I'm sure I can't afford to fix it if it's hurt!
Dude that’s a sound you don’t hear at truck stops anymore. And that 3408 sounds like a ball peen hammer in a coffee can but they will pull. Reminds me of my first trip with Dad in an R model Mack. Ol CB was just a steady stream of fellers jaw jackin away. Thanks for the great content Wayne!
Thanks Cole for tuning in.
Good to see you again Wayne take care buddy
Thanks Tommy you too
I am loving the videos Wayne like I do with your V12 cabover and Pete 359 I'm still trying to get some ol 2 stroker merch
Thanks brother! It's all on the website ol2stroker.com
This channel keeps getting better and better every time I watch it. You always managed to find a diamond in the rough. Great job Wayne keep up the awesome work man 👍🏻🇺🇸🏁
Thanks Vinny we're sure trying!
@@Ol2Stroker well your definitely doing a great job 👍🏻🇺🇸🚛
@@justinrad5073 thanks man🤟
That Pete sounds epic!!
Thanks Martin!
God bless you Wayne in that heat. Great video and can’t wait for next one
Be well
Thanks Kevin!
Hey Wayne. I told my buddy Randy about you on the way to Macungie and how you were a Detroit 2 cycle man. We found you and asked you when they started putting Jake brakes in Detriots. Steve googled it for us. Thanks for talking to us, we appreciate it. I should've checked out the Pete on the trailer. I didn't know it was a future project. I thought you were hauling it for someone especially since it was a Cat and not 2 cycle. I drove a 318 International back in the 70's. Enjoyed it, but I was still young then. Randy has started watching you since then on U Tube. Well, alright, you may thank me with a beer if we ever meet again, for sending a viewer to you. Pleasure talkin' to you.
Hey man it was great seeing you at the show I remember our conversation. I'll for sure but you a beer so long as I can buy one for me too! Lol
3408. ! Now you are talking My Language ! OUTSTANDING. 🇺🇸 Would have loved to Go On That Trip. !
Hell yea 🤟🤟🤟 was a pile of fun!
That poor ole Pete is fricken beat. I know you'll make it sweet with 12v71 power. Good stuff dude
She has certainly seen better days Henry
Congrats Wayne on channel, it gets good views now, keep up the great work!🐨
Thanks Warren we're getting there very slowly
This trip was a labor of love - right? Sounded a bit defeated when you were down there. She’s rough - but great bones! Thanks for taking the time to capture it all for our entertainment. 👍
This entire channel is a labor of love
FRICKIN AWESOME AS ALWAYS
Thanks man!
Dang-it, I thought for a minute I was going see myself in the left lane with the 2 Pete’s on the back 😀
Good job bringing the treasure back👊👍💪
Thanks brother I was really hoping I'd get footage of us cruising but it was way too dark for the camera. I was bummed! I was hoping I could make out what you were saying on the cb 🤣🤣🤣🤟🤟
@@Ol2Stroker
I figured it was probably to dark but it was still fun hoping and getting to actually talk to you makes up for it😀
I really like the new project , that cat 3408 is one badass diesel in that Pete
Hell yea one of the real hoss engines of the day. Pumped to have it!
First seen that truck and thought dam, seen some.old lot LIZARD'S still in better looking condition. When the hood opened and seen that 3408 450 hp instant chub! Between those and the KTA 600 where the big blocks of the days! Not knocking on the Detroit now. Glad y'all made it down & back, love the content and your love n passion for these ol gals !
Thanks Mark I knew the guys that knew what this truck was would really dig it when they saw it 🤟🤟 myself included
You guys were 3hrs west of me Wayne , nice new find , and yes it's hot as hell in NC 105 heat index today .....
Shewwwww buddy! A couple of viewers said we were close by. Good to know I got buddys down there for when I break something! Lol
Love the video.. keep it up.. and cheers
Thanks Rick!
LOL the high five in this video was genuine as can get hahaha them rims clapped y’all’s cheeks in this southern heat. It has been hot as balls
100% it really was
love your vids take back the good days in the 70s100 mle trucks 903 open up w mold kw double over drive good for 98 mhr 👍🏼🍻
Badass I dig k100s too! Thanks man!
Great video wayne
Thanks bud!
Thats a original Calendar Truck Paint job. I drove a big bunk cab over 1985 Pet with the same style paint job. Mine had a 425 Cat with a 15 up against the dash and 3:55 rears.
Yessir it was a show truck from new
New subby here can't wait to see what you do with this V8 also hi from Yorkshire England
Thanks Mark and welcome!
It still has the correct steering wheel in it, that's a find by itself.
Definitely!
Love the intro, great video!
Thanks man was really hoping y'all would like it.
Wayne-O gettin all fancy pants with the production on the intro...love it! Looked bad-ass in 4K on the 65" Sony!! Man i would flip my shit if I seen that sweet Pete haulin ass in my neck of tha woods. Thanks for sharing bud. Keep em comin!
Man I am trying to make something happen! I figured it was long overdue for the channel to get a decent intro. What do you think should I use it going forward?
@@Ol2Stroker Absolutely! It is very well done...i didnt know ya had it in ya! lol
Your pete sounds awesome! it would be cool to see the 3408 running
Thanks man I really hope it's a good engine!
Who needs a Radio when you get a god ol Detroit sweet sounds…. Hello from Central California! Love your content Wayne!
Thanks Joe! Playing that Motown music loud and proud 🤟🤟
Great video Wayne!! Loved the way you mirrored Smokey and the Bandit in the beginning!! Awesome!! Lord how I love the sound of the Green Pete!! 1800 is lugging it a bit don't ya think? LOL That 3408 will definitely be out of the norm. It'll be worth it!!
Naw Joey 1800 is the sweet spot. I pull it down to 1600 before a shift. 1600 is peak trq on a 92.
@@Ol2Stroker 10-4. I honestly thought I heard you say in the video 1800. Also, haven't backed up to see much videos on the Pete and thinking it was a 71. My dad had quite a few 71s way back when in the late 60s and early 70s . He'd turn em up and they'd sound like they were gonna twist out of the frame!! Love the two stroke sound. Nothing like it in the world. Thanks for the reply and your videos. Avid fan here.
@@joeyswafford2504 thanks man sure appreciate ya!
You really wanted something to do with that one.......good 🤞 luck.
Cheaper to go get it yourself and an awesome road trip with your best friend..... Priceless!!!!!!!
Yessir that was exactly my thoughts!
I absolutely love the smokey and the bandit intro you snuck in there
Badass man thanks I was really hoping y'all would
What a real treat seeing a cat motor just wicked
I was hoping y'all would like it!
I dig that "Smokey and the Bandit" opening...yeah I caught that!
Badass thanks Carlos!
I Love the way that truck sounds 😁
I do too bro!
@@Ol2Stroker the shaker I drive is Detroit powered
Im sure they are a pita,but I love the longer vids.
Honestly it's worse to do a shorter video because you can't get much done in 20 minutes
Boy that ol 8v92 sure sounds good!! but I think I would still have the sound in my ear for a week later!! We used to have a Clark 175B loader with an 8v71 non turbo and the neighbors could hear a mile away when you fired it up and were pushing some dirt!! Great fun trip!!
Oh man naturals are LOUD!
Dam fine project truck love seein mossy on the job!!!
Thanks Justin!
@@Ol2Stroker ur welcome sir!!
It's got good bones! That's something Great to start with👍 good ol' Cat V8
Don't see too many and there's like zero on the ol lube tube.
I know I'm late in commenting, but damn if that opening isn't the best on TH-cam!
old detroits sound great that old 08 sounds great also when u get it running
