Ford dump truck with a Detroit. Doesn't get any better. Thanks dude
Hell yea! Thank you for watching!
I'd love to find a beast like that here in Kansas.
Those N series Fords were such cool looking trucks. Unreal how you can make anything Detroit powered run no matter how long it's been sitting. Love your videos brother, keep them coming!
Thanks man that's what I love about them
@@Ol2Strokerwe love your work too brother, making those old DD’s run is badass
I just stumbled upon your channel and whoa…I just bought my first cable skidder and didn’t know there’s was anyone else who loves 2 stroke diesel’s!
My Timberjack 225E has a freshly rebuilt 3-53 and I absolutely love it.
Actually looking for another 3-53 to swap into my 95 Sierra K3500 SRW extended cab long bed…just because it’s America🇺🇸
Hell yea Maddox and welcome! Have a look around there's a PILE of 2 stroke stuff here.
I usually watch these videos while drinking a beer
@@iamgriff I usually make these videos while drinking beer 🤣🤣
What a cool yard!
Some day I'll do a full tour. That ain't even a 1/4
My uncle owned a towing service and garage, I spent probably almost every summer there from 74-84, oh the treasures we found in those old cars. And riding the wreckers with my cousin, 73’ Fords both packing 428’s with headers. My uncle Kenny RIP was a race car lover at heart so even his work equipment hauled ass. 👍🇺🇸
That's awesome thanks for sharing!
@@Ol2Strokerthank you brother
Love to have that old truck it’s just like how I found my 75 GMC 9500 with the 671 and it’s now the best i got in my fleet
I think it'd make a great mulch hauler or something
Another great video Wayne. I'm enjoying seeing you posting more vids and the extra effort into your Channel.@ford absolutely has to be put back on the road talk about styling! Thanks again Wayne you rock brother!
Thanks Chip I've been buried this year really have a ton of content and if I only post every Friday I wouldn't have to record again till winter lol.
Cheers for putting out videos like a Detroit revs👍🏻
That yard looks like good place to explore.
It's tons of fun over there!
@@Ol2Stroker a
It was nice to hear it run,those old engines were current when I was a driver.Good job!
That's awesome George. They're great engines!
I love this channel! Nothing but the absolute best
Thanks Joe!!!!
Great video as always! Miss my days climbing all over stuff trying to get it going!
Thanks Russell! This one was fun!
Another Video, You have been busy Wayne. Thanks Sir.
Very. Thanks for noticing!
Dang all makes of the cool old iron 👍 can't wait for the 2nd installment!
He's got all the coolest shit!
You all did a great job! She's a runner.
Thanks James.
Damn that place is full of solid gold there are so many things to get going in there
Oh buddy that ain't even the beginning!
Great video Wayne that was fun lmao. James is a riot no doubt. Looking for to the next video.
Thanks Richard we had a friggin blast!
Looks like heaven in there! Had an N series but it was an FE block gasser. I could have a lot of fun in there. I'll bet that older Ford truck has a 534ci gas engine.
I agree tons of cool shit here to play with.
NAILED IT!!
Best engine noise ever when that Detroit revs
When it started running the close captioning said [Music] never before have I ever seen a more accurate close caption.
what a sweet machine that is !!!! wish i could find something that cool around here to do a video on.
Great era for trucks. Such great shape.
Oh man you said it. The glory days.
Awesome video Wayne thanks
Hell yea Ben glad you liked it!
That was cool Sounded great! It would be cool to see the truck drive.
It would be very cool to see it drive.
New to your channel and it’s great!! Those N series Fords were tough trucks
Thanks Trav and welcome! I've never been around one before but they're pretty cool!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. Kinda little tough to get going but once she fired up there was almost no stopping her, except for the exhaust and intake giving troubles. Nice to see you guys collaborating and getting her going. Be cool to see it maybe restored and running down the road, maybe. Thank you all for the excellent video and looking forward to more. God Bless You All and your Family and Friends 🙏.
Thanks Kevin
She's certainly real smoker environmentalist would love this video always nice seeing these old gems startup after years of sitting idle.
I love giving them life again!
Haha found it funny you talking about the warm weather. I work on industrial equipment in west Texas. It gets up to 115 in the summer some days
God bless you Melvin I love the heat but couldn't do that!
How cool was this well done guy's 👏👏👏
Thanks Darrin!
Awesome sound can't beet that Detroit them were a good engine good video thanks for sharing this them old truck was pretty cool
I’ll be damned, I’ve driven past this place a dozen time or so! Good find for a New Yorker 😂 Best vidjeo yet.
Lol it's James place so I didn't really find it.
Any stash of trucks like that in northern NY is rusted out junk. Most of it was scrapped many years ago.
@@turbo8454 you'd be surprised. Depends when they were stashed.
Great content. Thank you
Thanks for the props Michael!
Nice little collection! I'm in Indiana wish I was closer!
You watch Some environmentalist will call complaining your taking away the home of a bunch of poor little mice poor little mice hahahaha where to go another one fired up real cool man thanks a lot
Hell yea Rick! Friggin environmentalists can eat my sack I hate friggin mice!
I just found your channel and I can already say I'm hooked.. 🇺🇸🚛🚜🚚
Thanks Vinny! For whatever reason CZcams loves to hide my channel in the depths.
@@Ol2Stroker i don't know why your channel is awesome. I wish you nothing but the best with it. God bless man. 👍🏻✝️🇺🇸
@@justinrad5073 thanks brother really appreciate it
Frigging runs mint when it can suck and blow. Gotta love them old Detroits.
Funny how important them 2 things are Michael!
Just like my ole lady runs good when she sucks n blows,hell yeah good days when that happens!!ha,ha,had to sneak that in buddys.snooky pa.💥🤟😜💥
What a cool design, don't know if I have ever seen one before. Looks like a solid truck with a lot of potential. Hopefully someone will give her a good home before she rots away
Super cool old truck. It's got a good home
Congrats on 20k 👌🏼
Thanks Big N Easy. Lots more good stuff to come hopefully
In that back woods setting "enjoy Bacon" reminded me too much of "squeal pig" specially with that little film clip. The toad was cool. menu: Frog on Friday, Squirrel on Saturday, Snake on Sunday....... Glad the blower was good, unlike that V53 International.
That friggin international still giving me nightmares
Thats was good old nedreck fun right there!!! Whoops hoooo!!!!
Hell yes man. Had a blast!
"It's hot and I'm fat" - preach brother
Honesty is the best policy lol
Lots of cool classic iron in that junkyard. The same model Ford is sitting in a yard not far from where I live. It was a wrecker, dark green cab.
Very cool! Go get it running!
James has all the cool junk,hopefully this isn't the last we see of his place!
Just the beginning!
Congrats on the 20k.
Thanks Northern! Couldn't have done it without all your support!
You guys are awesome
Thanks Rex! We have a good time.
Feed ‘er the sauce and she’s a ripper! So much cool junk in that yard too!
James has all the cool stuff!
The ol' Ferd shoulda known better than to resist the OL'2Stroker & his Bacon Bro LOL! That was awesome Wayne! Whatever oil was in the ol girl was pumping everywhere LOL I'm getting off on more vids from you bro...keep 'em coming!
Plus another hundred subs since yesterday!
Seriously Terry! We're undefeated!
Dude, that's not paradise, that's friggin HEAVEN! I want to will it start EVERYTHING in there!
I think the poor man's diesel, is actually the smart man's diesel.
I've been wondering how ol' James has been doing, that guy's a riot.
He's been super busy and I've been super busy. Was really good to connect again!
@@Ol2Stroker Great video
@@rusttrail3 thanks brother I appreciate it
Gotta love it
Hell yea Ben this was a fun one!
Love it! Just wish you would’ve left the camera inside the truck when cranking it!
Well that was fun to watch, are you planning on driving it around. I drove one of them in 1978, it was junk then. ✌️
Lol! Ehhhh maybe. I'd rather get more stuff going around there
Put it back on the road, that is a great truck! 😊
I really like that one!
That yard is full of beautiful junk I could explore there for days
You and me both brother
Wow I am in fact the 1000 like , kool thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
That's badass thanks BigAl!
Sweet ol truck.
It's got the look don't it Dwight!
@@Ol2Stroker i like it.
that truck would make a nice addition to my fleet lol
Mine too Evan!
Oh wow man, I remember those N series!!! I've always wanted to put one of them high-roof cabs on a pick-up! Those were the predecessors of your Louisville!!! I'm only 0:06 in so far, (and already hit LIKE) but my most vivid memory of an N series was in June or July of 1976 when I was ten years old. I was riding with my Ma in her new Maverick, down I-75 South, from Dayton Ohio to the Lebanon Ohio exit. Somewhere past Centerville, we came upon, and passed, an N series. It was a ten wheel road tractor in construction yellow, with a sleeper which might've even been a Mercury! The sleeper was yellow too. But the thing which really caught my eye was the exhaust stack - he had it behind the sleeper, and in the center! In 1976, if you saw a conventional with the stack behind the sleeper, it was old. And NOBODY had their stack centered in respect to the cab. Also, I believe that the sleeper roof was lower than the cab roof, which I even back then recognized as a fashion faux pas for a conventional tractor. So the truck was towing a lowboy heavy equipment hauler, but I don't remember if there was anything on it...
RIP Hank's Truck Pictures - so far the greatest loss to this hobby.
Now to watch the video...
Daaaamn I would've loved to have seen that Dan!!!!
@@Ol2Stroker I think I found a pic of a similar one on google years ago, with the stack in the center even, so it might've been factory. Not finding anything now though.
I hope you run across a Two Story Falcon - I'll bet you'd have to have that... Those CL 9000s were nice though. But I think my all-time favorite is still the Astro 95 and Titan 90 - best looking cabover ever, with it's Corvette/Camaro curves - stark contrast to the Crackerbox...
@@DanEBoyd I had a cl9000 actually. Its in my videos a couple of years back. Super cool cabover but impossible to get parts for.
We used to call the H series Ford cabovers from the early 60s two story falcons. Fellow around here had one when I was in high school back in the sixties. I believe the boxy W series cabovers came out after the H. A friend had a w series Ford cabover with a blown up 8v-71. We took one out of a wrecked White and put it in the Ford. Him and his brother ran that truck for quite a few years after that.
@@robjustlooking8729 Yes. There was the H series which was a C series cab on a riser platform to raise it way up, then came the W series which underwent a sort of facelift in the middle of its >10 year production run, and then the great CL 9000s. My eyes love those GM Astros, but I suspect that most drivers would prefer to run the CL 9000. Don't get me wrong, I like the looks of the CL too.
Back in the 1960s, Dodge actually used the front 'cab' section of their flat faced A100 van/pickup, perched atop a riser, and sold it as a medium duty truck to compete with the C series and GM's medium duty cabovers.
I remember a few N-series Fords still in use with construction companies around here into the mid-1970's. They were an interesting design.
Really not a bad truck from what I see.
@@Ol2Stroker Thinking about another project?
Lol definitely not. I've got another one coming stay tuned.
I'm digging how the hood is
Yea that truck is super cool
Baconator , damn he's got nice stuff !
He really does Rex
Break through video bro... I'm 3 minutes in... EPIC!!!!
Thanks man I sure hope so!
Thought I was in heaven with the drone shot intro
Two snap on swedish lathes owo
Possum nest still in the intake🤣 just hose it down with either and crank it till it fires🤤😂 next guy that changes the oil "what's up with all the fur and bones"
Bacon guy reminds me of the guy driving the van from rolling vengeance 🤣👌
That yard is my kind of playground. It Always amazed me how the average guy could accumulate that much equipment. Most of its for parts/ scrap but still at lot of $$$
Well James and his pops are pretty far from average lol
Oh hell yeah i want that truck
I kinda do too William. What a sweetheart
I think i found me a cabover it's not a powerliner but a older white freightliner supposed to have a v12 in it i will send pics when i can get through the trees to see it
@@williamsmith8808 found you a cabover or found me a cabover?! 😂😁
That would be a cool truck to restore
I think so too Aaron
I love your yard I wish I had it I would love to come and play in your yard
James place is alotta fun!
Been hotter than a two-peckered Billy goat peeing on a flat rock at a 4th of July picnic here in N.C. Finally cooled down some today. 👍for a great video!
Goooolllllllie! I dunno how hot that is but it sure sounds hot! Lol it was a nice day here today too. This was filmed prolly 2 weeks ago.
671 Jimmy calling out to you [get me outta here mang!]. Some cool old trucks and Tractors out there eh? Noice!
All the cool shit
Oh shoot, I am just coming upon this channel, I live on Greenfield, I'd love to do things like this
Hell that ain't far!
@@Ol2Stroker not at all, 2yrs ago I was building 3 different abandoned 6.5 diesels I drug to my yard
@@katiejameson ewwwww 6.5s 😂😂
Morning Wayne . Famous last words, will it start ? Looks like once , an if it does you might regret it by the looks of all that smoke !
Lol! Morning Maxx. If they turn they burn!
Good one, I like it . Never heard that saying before. But now that I have I'll never forget it thanks !
@@maxxcherry6955 lol I say that all the time.
WOW! Brother if that Old Ford can become Road Worthy again it sure would make one hell of a Hot Rod Hauler or whatever you can dream up SnapOn watches this Video that Wrench is going to go up in price two or three hundred Dollars as a Hammer /wrench
😂😂😂 true that Craig it don't take much for snap on to raise their prices.
Hi from uk wayne👋👍 good job getting the old girl running👌 the 5 tins of cosby well 7 by the time yous contributed made me think might be tough one and even tho you freed rack when it first sprung to life I seriously thought the suffocation block be out😂 but yeah I can see this one pulling next years tree limbs around to fire pile on your land 👌 lol thanks for time be safe and see you soon👍👋
Hell yea Mark ai picked it just cuz I thought it looked awesome I had no idea at the time it was parked not running! Lol
@@Ol2Stroker yes shes got the pensioner😍😂 some oldies look cool but most that roughness round edges probs of sitting under the trees but may of bin parked cos the fuel pump or something ? Heard you mention aux fuel tank thats all lol do these have mechanical or early electric pumps originally or vacuum? Thanks again👍
@@marksaunders2500 these use the same thing any other Detroit does. A gearotor style fuel pump run off the gear train.
@@Ol2Stroker they will be on timing too then like most chain/gear driven pumps?
@@marksaunders2500 np it just makes 60psi pressure all the timing etc is done in the injectors on a Detroit
Just found your channel, nice to see another fellow masshole.
Thanks Alex! James is from MA I'm from NY
Another awesome video what happened to the video of you driving around I loved the beautiful music pipes
Whaddaya mean? It's still up
Found it sorry
@@christophertoscano2026 lol np
Hannibul from the A team would always say, I love it when a plan comes together. I love it when a 2 stroke comes back to life.
Me too Dwight!
James has no fucks left to be given people
Not one single fuck.
Plainfield, MA on that Ford?? I lived in Norton for 12 years and Easton for 13 before that. Damn - hometown territory! (Well, it was until 22 years ago LOL). Nice start - who'da thunk the exhaust would be chock-a-block?
Yup Plainfield MA Jim! Small world ain't it
Early 80s backup beeper after the ole bell ringers on the axle hub I think ?
Man that was my guess but another commenter said late 70s. Hell if I know!
Hi guys it must b brilliant for you go to a place’s we’re there’s old stuff & get it running. We don’t have places like that in uk 🇬🇧 . Love ya stuff Detroits engines I love them can’t really get them here not like USA 🇺🇸 . Keep up the video . Reagards Les 🏴north wales 🏴 🇬🇧🇺🇸
For sure Leslie it's definitely helpful when your buddy has a yard full of junk lol
Love the N series truck...
I did too Joe, first one I've ever messed with!
@@Ol2Stroker
What did you do with it...
@@joeschlotthauer840 it's my buddy James truck he still has it
What kind of oil is the best 6 v 53
because it starts 1/4 turn 1/2 turn every time seems to have plenty of power 😢
but crankcase vent blows white smoke
This is the truck Matchbox used to model their #71 Ford Wreck Truck.
Seriously? That'd be way too cool
"That might've taken a year or two off my life"... funny! Great candidate for a WIS; good looking truck! Would be cool to see if it would move under its own power. Looking forward to seeing what you have next to make run there.
Austen the next ones a real treat too! We had a ton of fun.
I’m the with the 2 Pete on my trailer going up I-81 👍
Great to meet you brother!
I think 12 is the month on that inspection sticker, and I think I saw 2001 to the right of the 12.
Alan that makes WAY more sense
Made in America, for Americans...nothing can beat that.
Hell yea!
Hey, like your channel. I have an ’87 c70 with a 366. Working on getting it started. If I don’t get anywhere with it I am wondering what Detroit would fit into the truck to do a swap.
I live in the Pioneer Valley like your friend James. I have seen his truck around and think it’s great!
Any advice or info appreciated.
Thanks.
A 453t would be a bolt in they came with them 78-81
Not sure which it made more of, smoke or noise?
set the idle screw....and the buffer screw....if it rpm bounces
Commenting on the GATR Building the air tank! You let it Bumblef#$k you! It works...
Truth
For 1970, the N line was replaced by the Louisville LN line; for example, this N-850-D became the LN-9000.
Oh yeah junkyard jewels !
All of em!
Wayne you need to save that old Ford.
David it's already been saved it's at James'place! Lol
was that old front end loader the other side the bacon mobile a old Michigan Clark ??
Yup and it's immaculate! I did a quick walk around on it in an earlier video where we failed to build a 453.
@@Ol2Stroker yeah she looked preety clean for sure, my uncle' s father in law had one they used to plow their private air strip, and that thing was rode hard and put away with extreame abuse, shoot, you had to crank the wheel a good 3/4 spin before she reacted, had 4 tire steering, some had rear steering only from what ive been told, but boy you get that ol bitch a grunting, shed spin her tires to china before shed ever stall out on a guy,... it was one hellava brut......
It’d be perfect for a landscaping job here on “the Vermilion River
I thought it'd make a killer landscape truck
That was fun! Love the sound of a 238, brings back memories. Love the way James signs off...later fu**ers! LOL
Lol James is a trip. He makes me do a lot of editing.
Gauges are identical to a regular F-100. The whole cab is in fact a regular pickup cab but with a taller roof cap for more headroom.
Can we see more of this?
Sure!
