Hearing that old V-8 Cat fire up was mint! Great job, Wayne! She runs smooth, and quiet, for sitting that long! Brought back some great memories! That truck was a stepper in its day! You are just the guy to bring her back! You two goobs polishing that shift knob was classic!
Thanks Stanley I'm really looking forward to bringing it back!
I'm was so happy to hear that CAT roar to life. That thing is bound to pound the ground.❤🇺🇸🐘You got to build it to drive Wayne. it's too cool to do anything else.
I think so too Ray! Thanks man
You're collection is starting to look like one of a kind. The Pete , Cabover with a V12 and now 3408 that rolls on a dime. Good for you man. Your face bringing home that Cat was priceless. Now that she rolls over... that's a large relief. That engine compartment is going to need alot of love...but you're the man to do it.
Now you're going to have a huge dilemma. Which Pete tows the other to a show? I know you must be curious as to how she pulls loaded. Can't wait to see her roll down the driveway.
Happy weekend man!💪
I've seen people do some stupid s*** not that stupid I wouldn't even assault to check that
I'm really happy with how the collection is coming along! Thanks for the love John!
My second suggestion is give it to me! But my first is see how she does, the first truck I've ever driven was a 76 kw with the 3408 cat in it. My uncle owned it and loved that truck. So seeing that 3408 crank up just like that was great. And she sounded healthy too. Good luck with her.
@@paulwiley9102 that's so cool man. Wish I got to drive one back in the day!
Dude you have a couple truckers dream truck in your yard. Like multiple truckers dreams in your yard. You are blessed. Work hard to restore that fine piece of machinery !!! Ill look forward to seeing it !!! God Bless Man 🙏🙏🙏
Wayne you're sense of humor and dedication is the reasons why I never miss a video.
Thanks man I sure appreciate that! I often wonder if anyone even gets my humor, so I'm pumped someone does!
Brings back memories very cool.love it.
@@rickeyhooper9815 thanks Rickey!
Those old Cats were awesome motors. In all our time starting them after sitting, in the off chance the fuel rack is stuck they’re most always stuck off. We’ve never had a Cat run away on us. That truck is one hell of a find though, and I hope to see more updates on her soon!
Thanks Ryan I've never had one run away on me either but then again this is literally the first one I've ever touched 😅
I worked for a Company in Scranton Pa. One Summer, I parked my tractor because I got burnt out from the road so! I decided to take a daily job and get back to health So, I drove a Ch Mack for a Company hauling stone one day pulling a hill the Turbo went!! Well I called the Boss man! He brang brang down a new Turbo? and Gasket. They replaced it, I mentioned it to them they should take the tubing and intercooler off and clean up and flush it? They told me you just drive the truck mister Trailer Truck driver. Well they Rolled the Dice put on the new Turbo there young Mechanic that was autistic he was standing on the fuel tank turned it over! I was standing right by the fuel tank when it fired up full throttle, when all of a Sudden that Mack E427. Screamed to life and oil started shooting 30 feet out of the stack,s for about 30 Second,s till it run dry and then we all ran we told the autistic Mechanic shut it off he turned the key off and was holding it in his hand! We We're yelling to him pull the red knob engine stop out. By then a big explosion. I ain't never in my 45 years of driving truck seen a Engine throw internal parts thru the oil pan and split the engine block in half. That whole summer that truck was down it literally ruined everything in the engine was destroyed even busted the bell housing and ruined the countershaft in the transmission! and this ain't no Bullshit Story.
Now that is an epic find and you should be proud of it! Not only is it a 3408, but you’ve got the DITA version on your hands, which was the most powerful 3408 you could get from the factory. That engine will crank out 450 horse @2100 rpm and 1460 lb ft @1200 rpm.
Hell yea I got really lucky. Seller had no clue if it ran or if it was PC or di and I took the leap anyway. Very happy
Not gonna lie I was very surprised to see how well that engine ran. That alone makes this thing worth it
Same here Melvin it really made this leap of faith worth it! Pumped and shocked with how well she ran!
Purrs like a Cat should wicked find that must been rebuilt not long before it was parked or very well maintained!
Definitely needs to be a project to save. Tons of work, but super cool in the end. Your channel inspires me every week to keep working on my “junk” project. I am in bodywork stage now, but at least past the replacing sheet metal stage. Oh, your humor and commentary is what makes the channel! Straight up honest effort, not some made up bullshit channel.
Thanks Chris I sure appreciate that. Keep on keepin on brother!
Wayne's still the man! My question are you still regretting the purchase now that you have her running?? Probably not! You have to keep her. She's a factory 3408 359 ex hood. You can't get much better than that.
Naw I definitely feel a lot better about it at the moment. If it brings the channel to the next level than I'll be really stoked!
@@Ol2Stroker I'm a new subscriber way she runs needs to be rescued! Will make a brilliant truck again for sure be a shame too part it out.! Runs good and clean for such a old truck!
@@micksroversmg558 I agree completely. The way it ran sold me on building it
I agree with all these fellas
@@Ol2Stroker It’s amazing how much time you waste do to your incompetence as a diesel mechanic!! I’m done never again will I watch your channel I ended up yelling at the video for 75% of it. THE STARTER WASN’T EVEN BAD!!! You don’t test anything you throw parts at it without knowing keep throwing shit at the wall until wow it runs!! You finally managed to start it then off-on-off-on off-on off-on off without letting it build some god damn heat and why in the F didn’t you just drive it off the trailer?? What couldn’t you fix brakes? Clutch? What? Then you have your man bi*ch help you drag it off and just WOW what a circus! Just plain amazing that you’ve found people dumb enough to think your smart…
Sweet 👍👍
That makes the purchase & whole trip worth it !!!!
Yes
Totally Steve! I'm stoked it runs!
I'd love to see it fresh like it once was. Definitely ones I'll be watching for.
Thanks man I would too!
Wayne, do you even know how awesome your collection is? That 80 long hood Pete is something else! I love your channel and your dry sense of humour! What a dream line up, 2 x 80 Pete's, 1 with 8V92 and 1 with long hood CAT 3408! And in my opinion, the jewel in the crown, a 73 V12 Cabover, my rig dream! Do not sell any of them, unless you really want to know what regret feels like! Keep up the great work Wayne, cheers, Mike from New Zealand.
Thanks Mike! I absolutely love my lineup so far. It'll only get better if y'all keep watching!
@@Ol2Stroker KTA in the future? Would love to know more on that engine
@@haydona1845 yup definitely. I will own one at some point
This intro is similar to the Smokey and the Bandit 1 I love it.
Yessir that's what I was going for thanks!
@@Ol2Stroker That was a nice one. Love it. Good work.
@@MrCornholios thanks man!
Just the fact alone that you’re rescuing these vehicles from being left for dead is enough for me to sub instantly.
God bless you and stay safe out there
Thanks brother 🤟🤟
A Friday video man thats like an ice cream sundae after dinner !
I friggin love ice cream!
What a beast of a find! She wants to live too! Looking forward to seeing what you do with her going forward. 👍
Thanks man I'm really looking forward to bringing it to yall
Great job Wayne. Guess we gotta call you Ol' 4 Stroker now.
I'm gonna have to rename the channel 🤣🤣🤣
@@Ol2Stroker Good One
Man that’s pretty cool seeing this ole gal come back to life. I must’ve drove past this thing thousands of times. I live in the small town where you bought it from, and remember seeing Mr. Phillip drive by in it. It’s amazing it’s held together so well considering the neglect, and more than that the location you found it. Several hurricanes have flooded our community over the years. Great job, and thanks for bringing back to life. Looking forward to what you do with it. I would love to see a complete restoration!
That second start, wow--ripped to life faster than my old Toyota. This one's a runner for sure. Nice save, dude.
Thanks Hank! I'm pretty pumped about it
Mint👍🏻 You can't be mad at that CAT starting performance.
Polishing your knob had me in stitches
I am definitely not mad at that!
That thing has been flooded with atleast 3 bad hurricanes in Davis, I can't believe in how good of shape it's in. I'm just glad someone is getting it running again. It was a super nice truck when they first got it. That truck needs to be restored, it has a lot of history running seafood up and down the east coast and all over the United States. Keep up the good work!!
I would have loved to see it in its glory days.
OUTSTANDING. ! Probably one of the best truck finds on TH-cam. It is going to take you alot of work. But that truck fixed up would be priceless. The motor alone is one of the hardest things to find. One in a running and driving Pete. Unbelievable. Best of Luck. Stay Safe. Keep Up the Great Work. 👍 🇺🇸
Thanks Charles! I was really excited to be able to do something noone else on here is doing!
Gonna have to tell my friend Danny Smith he's gonna have to step it Up. LMAO ☹️ 🤣
Just found your channel, love it ! I ran a 8v 92 in a truck n trailer transfer from 1979 to 1982, then another truck n trailer transfer with a 3406 cat motor, both were Pete's. Ran them all over the Serria Nevada mountains, many a mile pulling as hard as they could ! Got goose bumps listening to the motors on your channel...
Badass man welcome! Thanks for sharing!
8v92 was a piece of shit.
BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS SAID NEVER LATE WITH A 08!!! AWESOME CAT HOUSE!! GREAT VIDEO WAYNE!!!!
Thanks Dan! I've heard that before guess we're gonna see!
I love that Pete! Thanks to all of your hard work it looks and runs great!
Thanks man it's for sure growing on me too!
Thanks for sharing this with us the sound of the CAT cranking up was music to my ears. You have a been blessed. The polishing your knob was hilarious.
Nice vid. Great project truck. Looking forward to the next one
I'm keeping my eye on this build!👍
Awesome thanks Carlos!
Good looking ole 1980 classic Peterbilt. I’d rebuild that bad boy. Runs pretty good 👍 for an old CAT 🐱 😁👌 I’d give it what it needs and fix ‘er on up sir.
It's a really hard to find old truck Steven I agree I definitely think it's worth saving
Bacon, the gift that keeps on giving....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, the good old 359 is alive and kicking, thank you for the video, friend .
Watching you putting the starter in having so much fun remind me of putting the 4 speed in my roadrunner everyone showed up to help till the beer ran out so like you kept going till done 💪
Hell yea Curt 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Dude, you gotta restore her. She’s a bad little girl and needs to be on the road again.
If y'all will sub and watch I'll do it!
Subscribed and will watch! Loved the old Bedford with strokes in them back in the day!! Shame more manufactures did not fit them over here in England! Was a few ERF EC but was not many with the detroit strokers in them!
@@micksroversmg558 thanks Mick and welcome!
Careful budy! If Karen hears u say that she's gonna berate you for using the words BAD and GIRL in the same sentence! She'll call u sexist!!!
New sub ... she's a diamond in the ruff .I drove longhau for yrs and had a 88 Pete with a 3408 "kitty Cat" but they under geared her with a 9 sp fuller eaton🤦♂️😥
But she was a puller🙂👍
Enjoyable , funny, glad to see someone with a living history of what trucking was!!
Thanks Michael sure appreciate it
So good to see that thing come to life. I realized during the polishing segment, that the old two stroker channel isn't just about Detroits.
It's about alotta shit really but we still specialize in the 2 smokers.
Nice truck
Thanks Karl!
Looking forward to seeing you bring that ole girl back to her glory! That cat sounds like new. Great video. Keep’m coming.
Thanks man! I hope the videos do well enough to build it here on the channel!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome job. And love the opening montage,very Smoky and the Bandit. Beautiful ol truck. Thank you for saving it and bringing it back to life. God Bless You and all of your Family and Friends. Awesome.
Thanks Kevin I'm really glad y'all are diggin the intro!
Great Video Wayne. It definitely runs decent. It would be nice to see it fixed up like your other trucks or at least driveable and clean up the original paint as good as possible. It’s awesome and needs to be preserved. Thanks for sharing your treasure.
Thanks Doug! I'll try my best to bring it back and preserve it, you know I will!
On Thursday TwinStick Garage posted a great video on the new hubs and brakes from ConMet. He is fitting them to his Smokey and the Bandit tribute truck the 1979 Kenworth conventional. It is a terrific tutorial on the latest in hub technology and also how air brakes work. Educational for sure. He is out of Ardrossen Alberta Canada which is a short run east of Edmonton. You might want to consider an upgrade to the best technology available today.
Lol sounds sponsored and way outa our budget.
Cheaper to just throw a newer cut off on it and a newer steer under it unless you just like running through money lol
@@leejohnson6173 definitely. Unless you're sponsored that's not an equitable route.
I just love these channels where people revive old junky vehicles. There's just something so special about hearing an old engine run for the first time in years, maybe even decades.
What a great project Wayne! The 3408 Cat engine is rare and sounds great under load. Can't wait to see this one on the road!
Hell yea me either Robert!
grand slam!You are in the groove!
I sure hope the videos start to catch on now!
I'm envious.Good on you to make it happen by making the trip to NC.Having experienced the smell around those poultry farms ,I can only imagine how pleasant the heat etc. was.Those 3408's have such a unique sound.Kinda brings back memories of some E-9 Mack V-8s I drove.
I want to get an e9 at some point Gary!
@@Ol2Stroker If you get a V8 Mack, you may as well get something with a Cummins 903 V8 to complete your collection of V8's from each engine manufacturer. They were in 10 ton tractors in Viet Nam and they ran straight pipes that exited in front of the tandems straight out the sides. REALLY cracked when they got on it. I know they don't have big horsepower, but the sound... I think you should get one if you can find one. Hey, it's not my money or labor, it's yours!
@@tomkrisel4493 not too interested in a 903 but a K is on the list. We're not putting together a V8 collection per-se but we are putting together a big power collection.
Love the old 359's and a total plus with the 3408. Sweet
I am trying to get into stuff like this your channel really helps me out
Floyd
Man that sounded good, just the way I remembered them to sound. Drove one same year as that one with a 6&4. Really enjoyed driving that one for sure.
Oh man that'd be killer if this one had a 6x4!
Another awesome video with a sweet CAT 3408. Keep the content rolling Wayne but don't forget about the Detroits.
I don't think there's a chance of me forgetting them lol
Would love to see some more of that TT8v92 race truck
You need to keep going on her. This is a very cool truck! You can do it Wayne, you're the man.
Thanks Junior! I want to!
Starts better than a new truck, that's amazing 👏
Hi Wayne,you sir are hellva a mechanic to be able to stab that 3408 starter in on the first try,good on ya.Just caught your channel,Love the content,and filming.Now that you have done a first start on a CAT 08,you have now a chance to do the great trifecta. A V-12 Detroit, CAT 3408,and a CUMMINS K series, you could do a KT, or KTA.The super diesel engines of the 70's-80's,Ok Ok I guess you can put the V-8 MACK in that category too.Have been trucking since the 70's,second generation.I now own a 1995 FLD132 with a 64" bunk,powered by 1987 3406B CAT,which I would not trade for a newer Semi.Was so excited to hear that 3408 fire up so easily,Those CAT's are over built for a trucking application,originally made for working with rocks and dirt.Keep those ACE videos coming,looking forward to the next first start.C-Ya
Hey Michael glad ya found us over here! Actually a KT and e9 500 are on my list of stuff to own.
I was a awesome video truck runs good thankful for that
Noone is more thankful than I am I promise! Lol
Ahhhh. The breakfast of Champions. 😄 opening up a cold one at 9am......that's what I'm talking about. 😀
Hell yea!
Great video Wayne! Ole girl sounds awesome, can't believe it fired off that easily. Great job man!
Thanks Phillip I was shocked too!
Great find very rare well worth the time it will take to put it back on the road can't wait to see it done
Thanks man I thought so too! They sure aren't making them anymore.
Stoked for you Wayne, let us know where you'll go with resto. and race truck - rust is the devil's work!
Man do I have some serious resto projects now. I need a shop!
Great work bro. You kick tail. Keep her. She's a gem 💎
Bud she needs to be restored, you have a classic right there for the history of trucking. 😊
Don’t poke fun at those kitty Kats!!!!! Fellows. Lol
I like it so far, time will tell!
I knew a guy who had a 3408 in a KW, and that thing ran sweet! That frame was FULL with that engine. The only one I ever saw in a truck. I was working at a Cat dealer at the time.
It sure fills up them rails there's like zero room to work on it on the sides!
Hellow Wayne good to see you an the trucks again buddy
Wayne I love this channel. I drove a lot of different detroits over the years and and Cummins and caterpillar the Detroit and cats were my favorite my truck I run now has a 3406b great motor looking forward to this new project
Awesome thanks Justin!
Good to see you again Wayne I had a brother named Wayne he died 6 months ago hope you an your family are doing great buddy
Shit Tommy I'm really sorry to hear that. Keep your head up brother, thanks for tuning in!
I've REALLY been looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint me...That thing sounds GREAT! And now you're a Cat man Wayno. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this project. Just remember, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning...
Haha hell yea Bruce! I'm glad you enjoyed it I was curious to see what you thought!
You’re channel is amazing man, The number of one liners was priceless. And that intro is still the best!
Thanks Ervin!
Nice work!!!!!👍👍👍👍 that starter was huge!!!! I couldn’t have done it any better myself man!?? Thank you for the videos!.
Thanks man! She was heavy but nothing you can't handle with a breakfast beer or 2 😁
Can’t wait for another awesome video
Thanks Ben!
That was a neat trick with the solder on the battery cable, I'll have to use it one day.
It works pretty slick!
Awesome video as always Wayne👍 Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks man!
Cool old truck👍And start
Thanks man!
Keep going on it make it a keeper nice old truck
Thanks Albert!
I can’t believe you bought it home, had to change the starter and connected it directly from the battery and it just runs beautifully. I love that truck already!
Another great video. Can't wait for the next video when you get her to drive 😉👍
Shewwww if I'm driving this by the next video I'll also be walking on water.
Freakin awesome that thing runs good Wayne can’t wait to see more of it nothing like petting a kitty and getting your knob polished all on the same day !!
Thanks Don super excited with how it runs. Knob polishing was a bonus.
Nice job Brother!
Just found your channel, very cool stuff. Instantly subscribed. I felt the struggle on that starter change, they are never fun. Your green Pete looks and sounds amazing.
Thanks Rob and welcome! Glad you're enjoying the content. The Pete's been a labor of love I'm glad you like it!
You gotta restore it! Would love to see a collaboration with you and Gentry and Sons on a frame extention some day...truck is awesome but definitely needs some more wheelbase!
Man it's pretty long for a factory truck already. I'd love to meet up with him sometime.
That 3408 my old man had always had a long roll over before it fired. That’s a Gem! Dude you gotta rebuild it
Good stuff man. Love the old trucks. This one will need a lot of work and polish. Really like watching your stuff.
Thanks Allen I really appreciate ya watching thanks for the feedback
Love that old Pete clean it up and do what you do Wayne it’s a beautiful old truck and I know you will not wast any time getting it back to the way she definitely deserves when you get here done she will look as good as your other beautiful one anyways great channel can’t wait to see more videos
Thanks Bryan sure appreciate ya!
Thanks for the video as always!! Tough call looks like she needs allot of work, and I'm not a Pete fan really but I do respect a trucks for what they are and that one is an amazing find I doubt there are many of those left. Whatever you do I'm sure I'm not alone in saying imma gonna watch👍👍👍
Thanks man I sure appreciate it!
Great video, Wayne!
Thanks Jonny!
Hearing that ole girl come to life was priceless!!...I love how those old Petes sit. They look so good!
This thing for sure had the look!
Happy for ya Wayne , that Kitty sounds smooth , do what you do , a little at a time when you can and $$ funds afford it , Awesome piece to the collection , like the 352 as you said I'd keep it as original as possible , as mentioned when you picked the truck up that's a different hood but looks good on there , fresh paint on the chassis , aluminum and chrome polished , buff the existing paint 👍👍👍👍 , the best part the shift knobs polished resto is almost complete LOL !!!!
After further review I don't think the hood has actually been changed. Can't wait to dig in and see how she treats me
You've got a long way to go an not a short time to get their on the grey ghost its great to see it running nothing like a big v8 it needs to be brought back to life whether a full resto or just the minimum done to make it drive . I love the new start i was thinking of the song seeing it
Thanks Peter I really think it's worth saving and preserving!
Love the truck. Can't beat the old 70s paint schemes on these girls
The paint is my favorite thing on these old trucks Adam!
Came across your channel today, I love it. I grabbed a breakfast beer after seeing you with one and enjoyed this video. Looking forward to watching more and learning new tricks from ya. Take care.
Thanks for watching!
Wayne you gotta keep working on the pete and your wife is helping ya thats awsome keep up the great up load s
Thanks Jesse!
Another great video can't wait to see what you'll do with this truck Full restoration would be 👌👌
Thanks David!
@@Ol2Stroker keep up the great work your videos are a pleasure to watch Will be great if you can get the V12 Detroit and the V8 Cat back on the road again Mint👌👌👌
Good to hear that old girl come to life again. Good luck with the restoration and hopefully you will post it again when finished.
I plan to do a build series on it, so subscribe!
You got it running sounds great. Put stacks on, your almost done. ✌️
I wish it was gonna be that easy!
The whole "dropping the starter on your foot, arm, or head" is something I face every time I start work on anything lol.
It's never any fun!
Ol2Stroker brings a 4-stroke back to life... guess that explains the weird weather. Strapped the fuel tank to the drive shaft... uhhhh... I might not be the brightest knife in the chandelier, but seems to me the tank is connected to the frame, so maybe use the strap to hold the tank to the frame and not the drive shaft. Oh, well, what's done is done. Looking forward to the next installment.
💯💯💯 I ain't mad at him it was so friggin hot when we were loading we were both a little delerious!
@@Ol2Stroker Yeah, bad decisions can be made when you are really hot or really cold.
@@stansdds totally! Trip wouldn't have been the same without em!
Love the Smokey and the bandit tribute for the introduction! Well done 👍
Thanks brother!
Sounds great, especially for as long as it has been since it was started
I can't wait to how this one turns out awesome old girl
Thanks Paul me either!
Dude, when that CAT lite off and sat there PURRING smooth as silk, I got goosebumps! Another rare gem and that shift knob. Creativity went out the door when the 80's ended. Start of plastic garbage with NO class began to kill the era of awesome trucks. Check out the low D.O.T #. Set of 8in straight pipes would sound great on that v8 as well the v12. Always enjoy the phrases you use with the sense of humor, love it!
Thanks Mark! I couldn't believe it when it fired up and just idled perfectly.
Hey there I'm watching your videos for the first time...im not a fella just a chic that likes to hear these old trucks Cheech!! She sounded great and great job getting her started Cats are good motors!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Carrie! Glad you found us hope you're enjoying the channel and welcome!
You lucky duck,that is an awesome classic Pete
I had to have it when I saw it thanks Chris!
12:00 - you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning. Breakfast beer for the win. And are you really even friends if you don't bust on your buddy with innuendos when polishing knobs?
It's no Detroit, but that CAT sounds good. Fired right off with not a ton of effort, really. Hearing it run has to be satisfying.
Hahahah my sentiments exactly on the knob joke! I'm so relieved it runs. I literally dove in head first and had no idea if I was gonna come out on top
