I like your propane setup. Nice.

Nice

At 16 in 1975 I scraped together $250 to buy a 1955 De Soto Firedome. I had intended to remove the Hemi and use it in a newer car to be purchased later. However, the more I drove it, the more I fell in love with it. That was an awesome fun car to drive and work on. Now 65, I'm looking for another one.

Bison/Generals are some of the best looking trucks! 🛻. All GM trucks of that era looked great! I love a CAT BTW!

thank you for the 769 video !

Really nice engine 👌

Magnificen

What's the updates on the 63 needle noes

Its been more than a weekend on this restoration. I plan to do something similar with a 63 c30

Where's this truck today?

Big red handle in the cab i used it once.

they were good engines but a Cat or cumins was sooooo much better. Remember " slam the door on your hand before your started driving and drive like you're mad at the world. really !!!

Love me a screaming DETROIT

HERMOSA TRACTOR CAMION DESDE PANAMA ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing truck man, I have a special love for White lol I’m a Cleveland native 😂 plus my dad owned a semi international dealership and he had a old wrecker that was a badass White, had a Brockway too lol, thanks for saving her from the scrap pile!!

Oh it’s good to see a Bruin. This was an old triaxle dump truck with a 20,000 lb front axle. Chevy only manufactured heavy trucks from the 1969 Titan to around 1980 with the Bruin, Bison and Titan. The Kodiak medium truck continued to be manufactured until 20 years ago.

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 I would agree that the body is in rough shape, but nothing that some good TLC wouldn’t handle. Rather looks good for the age. I sure hope it powers up & runs well for you….on the 2nd attempt. I know of a few old Detroits that had the ether can mounted on the rails. I can understand why now. Someone stated that they get used to ether. I’m not sure if I totally agree with that statement, but it has been sitting a while without being run. Who knows. Love the old trucks & sure remember this style back in the day. Love the old style dash myself. 🥰🤩✌️

Once you spray ether in these Detroits, they get ADDICTED TO IT.

Prime the fuel system

Like it good old trucks back in the day drove a lot of miles in one of those 👍🙌

I'm digging it.

When you get it running please please blow the HORN please and thank you.

It’s a 24 volt truck first off….. second off….. pull the damn valve covers off for the love of god and get the racks free. 3rd get your self a board of wood to snuff the engine off when it runs away due to your incompetence and also fill the air tanks so you have air to use the air shut off or better known for you brain dead wanna be truck mechanics the flapper aka blower shut down. Best of luck and let’s hope boss man fires your ass when you blow up the engine

Ran a 769c the temperature one morning was below 0 it was the only thing that started on its own

Duel lorry😊

Well Done. ! 🇺🇸👍

Love it

Any more updates of the Desoto

Oh you slurp Red Bull…? Awesome. SKIP

One must Expect rust in these MoPars. Best of luck tho

Love the truck.....it looks like the autocar truck from movie OVER THE TOP but only the truck from the movie is an autocar

Lotta Wrecker for single Axl truck I have towed same type truck with Holmes 500 on c 50 c60 Chevy but hey that's fine tow truck fir sure great video

D353 engine there great engines 385 HP the H model D9 has the same engine but with Aftercooling it makes 410 HP

I moved one flywheel exactly like the ones on this engine. The thing is a beast, and I wouldn't doubt it weighs 400 to 500 lbs. When that engine hits, it spins the flywheels like they're nothing.

DUH

I wonder how rare? I read in a 1994 Gas Engine Magazine comment they felt there were 26 known 12HP engines at that time - there could be more that have surfaced by now. There is only 1 that is a documented 14HP that I know of, they have the 14HP listed in the sales literature but it appears only 1 has surface. Production numbers show that only about 1% of the engines were 12HP. It is interesting that it appears to be the original paint without any pin striping evident. Also it appears there is evidence of gold paint on the ends of the Webster magneto.......I am cleaning up my mag and found traces of gold paint on them.

I have the same truck. Good luck on your project.

I need one of those
