- This is my friends truck . he is putting it through its paces and testing the all wheel drive . I think he said it was an old water truck and he put the 5th wheel on it and rebuilt the engine . FWD is the manufacturer of the truck .
That big diesel hanging out over the front wheels makes it look like it means business!! And, it does!
There was a concrete co. When i was a kid. Had old FWDs and Oshkosh mixers. I thought they were huge trucks.
We always had Autocar.
They were
Detroit in the morning is like heaven
Back when big trucks had style. I like this old International cab with the FWD long nose hood. All new trucks today look generic.
especialy with the fiberglass hood and plastic interior!
Philippe Riopel they’ve had fiberglass hoods since the 60s.
You're so right... The KW W900L, the T800, the Pete 389, the Western Star 4900, they sure look like crap don't they?
Nice looking powerfull truck Air Filter whistle is badassi wish i could rev it
amazing video!!
Little paint, some N95 injectors, grease and love and it would make a good lowboy tractor
its a 56 it would not have or use ''N'' style injectors it would be a 2 valve with the ''HV'' style .
Absolutely gorgeous
At about 2:30 or so, I was thinking I KNOW that Ol girl has full lockers...sure enough, a few seconds later he locked up and powered through that sand hill!
Please restore that old truck The Young ones need to see what a real truck is!!!!
Show of hands, who else clicked in thinking, "A Front-Wheel Drive semi? How novel!"?
This is what the Ice Road Truckers need!
Nah, but I grew up with my uncle owning a 50’s model FWD with a 6-71 so I already knew what it was and what it is capable of. Definitely didn’t think it was a Front Wheel Drive Semi
Awesome ! Thank you for posting this.
This deserves more views...
He sure did put it through it's paces, any harder and it would have split right down the seam LOL.
Positiv track helps.
Very cool truck. I really like Detroit diesels and the FWD trucks. Where is this place. I see tons of old CAT dozers
I wish i had this truck. Would be great in a beet field.
Love this truck, never seen a bonnet sooo long, born the same year, must be a sign 🤣👍👍
Ditto on the rack adjustment. Hell they all could use one but i love it and its still a fine truck. Couldnt buy one to replace it for 60 grand used.
Hell yeah
Make a new driver operate that truck and he will break his CDL in half 🤣🤣🤣
Проблема в (прокладке ) !!!
Did this friend ever have a youtube channel with this truck pulling a trailer hauling a Cat dozer?
I would trade my wife for that truck. Nice truck!
Your going to get a beating talking like that buddy!!!😅
Looks like Pinocchio with long front end
That nose tho. Love it
Love it. Would love to go down the road in that, it would certainly turn a lot of heads.
Got some nice toys setting out there buddy... What kind d of dozed setting out their a D-9? Luv that old girl!
what does it have a 6 and 3 with a 3 speed brownlite in it plus transfer case and does it have 2 or 3 driveshafts.
Amazing job brothers 😁 keep it up
a 13 foot wing plow and a local town contract with minimum rehab and you could bank some loot for a few winters.
what type of lowbed is that?
Love too have this truck.
Fun Ol' Girl!
Grind it till it fits!!
Screaming Jimmy!!
What kind of truck almost looks like a diamond reo
It's a FWD wich stands for Four Wheel Drive.
That motor doesn't sound quite right when it idles dirty injectors or something
Most say rack is out of adjustment
It's a 1956 FWD truck, but could you tell me the specific model? Thanks
The yellow kind
I love the look of the good oldies with the extended needle-nose style. Today's trucks all look alike with the slanted down 'ant eater' look just for the sake of aerodynamics. Yuck!
Run the rack again. Think you got an injector out of adjustment.
Thought the same. Also idles too low
Sounds like it has a bad knock even for a old Diesel
Dam engines ment to wind but dam
We used to have one on a milk truck. The DD mechanic who rebuilt told me that the correct way to drive a truck with a Detroit is to slam your hand in the door first thing in the morning so that you were mad at the truck, and then drive it that way all day.
Exactly every dude i knew that drove a rig with a Detroit had it to the floor all the time!! Of course they were hard of hearing also!! Lol!!
Can’t find them,grind them
Double clutch
Clutch going out?
Not likely, what makes you ask this?
@@warrenmcelroy4718 0:40 sounds like he’s riding the clutch for how slow he’s moving but i guess low gear
It probly gets not bad milage too?
Oh hell yeah! 8/10 yards to the gallon! Empty... Loaded it drinks a little fuel!
Muito lindo o barulho do motor.
Which Detroit? In-line 6?
Hi Kevin. Yes , a freshly rebuilt 6-71
To tell if it's an online it will not have a v after the first numbers. Inline Detroit 2 strokes were: 453T, 353T, 6-71, and a few more. The v engines were 6v92, 8v71, 8v92, 6v53 and more
Good ol Screamin Jimmy!
@@seth4567 or you can just look at the engine and see that it’s an inline engine
moito lindo o borulho do motor
太漂亮了
why fwd?
Four Wheel Drive Corporation. FWD isn't the type of truck in this case its the brand.
What do you mean “why fwd”?
Just doesn't sound like a 2 cycle detroit at idle to me.
Think its the injector rack rattlin. Makes it sound 4 strokey
Sounds exactly like a 2 cycle detroit
Grind me a pound !
,use be a sum of a ....to put into 4wd
That long nose....
*4WD
FWD. For Four Wheel Drive Corp. Not the drivetrain type which technically would be 6x6 as the front axle is driven as well as the rears.
*FWD
FWD is the brand
Detroit Diesel. Two stroke joke. That truck needs an engine with more torque
The joke is any modern POS diesel built since 2009 .
@@rileydog362 a Detroit is good for powering a pump or a generator. They suck as a road engine and I agree with you about modern diesels
@@justinmyslive4108 Yet they helped win WW 2 and were in production for 60 years and literally used in everything from locomotives to ships to construction equip and everything in between. Best overall diesel ever built . . They were done in by CARB .
@@rileydog362 to me it's stupid to use the Detroit Diesel in any military application for the simple fact it's makes more noise than two skeletons screwing on a tin roof in the middle of a hail storm using a tin can for a condom. The enemy would hear you a long time before they saw you
Pretty useless 4 wheel drive system only spins two tires
It was not locked in all wheel drive at the time .
Sergio .. really? Have patience man..
@@rileydog362 must be frustrating to see comments like this, it’s sad that most folks will never understand just how capable the FWD’s were/are
