@@johnhudelson2652 everything is bigger in Texas right? Good thing it isn’t 70 on that road, the old girl won’t go that fast! Haha

@@Darth-Nihilus1 they’re getting scarce for sure. One of the reasons I’ve always liked Autocar, white, diamond Reo/T is because you just don’t see them. Mack’s, kw’s and Pete’s are nice, but everyone and their brother has one. This old girl turns heads of people who don’t even know trucks but they notice something just isn’t quite the same. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍

@@Autocar87 what year is your White? Also thank you for keeping this old lady running strong

@@Darth-Nihilus1 it’s a ‘69. It is still very much a work in progress and will be a slow moving project. But it will be nice once again. Going to try and keep this one ready for work/play at all times throughout the rebuild process as much as possible.

@@Autocar87 I’m surprised it didn’t have a 8v71t in it or 6v53t. She looks great for her age 😄

@@nickkercheval2704 the old girl does well for itself being a single axle dump truck. It’s also so low geared that it’s not too bad shifting wise the short runs I take it on. Gotta plan the turns with Armstrong steering though! Thanks for the comment!

@@fstbkgt390 thank you very much. Dad was bummed going out first round. I made it a few more with my Autocar but lost a good race in the 1/4 finals.

@@michaelbriggs1894 thank you. Grew up riding in a truck with my dad and have been driving them since.

@@rk-ec7kx thank you very much.

@@damienodonohue1327 can do. Keep checking back and I’ll make a walk around. Thanks for the idea and keep watching please. 👍

@@kevinrhodes335 hahaha very nice. That for sure is a good hill to climb. Hard to get a run for it with the rough bridge abutment right there and idiots coming down the hill taking the whole lane. The old girl made it happen though. Thanks for the comment! I remember taking school trips on the old Maine Line busses with 8v-71’s out back doing work. The bus ride was always my favorite part of the field trip.

What does that say about how boring YOUR life is to have watched it and spent even more time expressing your boredom, just to say it’s boring?

@@BillHunclebuncle let the haters hate. They’re just bored in their mom’s basement and nothing better to do.

@@Autocar87 …. Give the dude/dudette/animule some credibility….. He/she/it, might not be able to be old enough to drink coffee yet?

@@markwright455 no other way!

@@simpledj509chromo7 I know! I still want to find a truck with twin sticks. That was one of the things I wanted when I was looking for a truck. This truck checked all the boxes except twin sticks but I still just had to have it. Guess I’ll have to buy another truck still! I’m going to try another camera angle so you guys can see me shifting as well. There will be more videos to come. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@@Autocar87 Love to hear it man. If you're used to modern boxes they are a learning curve. But if you're used to the old stuff they are pretty fun to play with loaded below about 50k. Beyond that you'll understand why the old timers were wizards with less than 250 hp and a five or six and four hauling way more than 105,500 up in the timber. Those boys were something else. My grandad felled timber until he couldn't and then drove log truck. And grandma was rolling right beside him driving log truck for a couple decades.

@@eddieweigel9490 yes it is. I’ve still got to give it a full tune up but runs good enough for now. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Eddieweigel9490……. That old 10 speed had a mechanical splitter in it. A steel rod that ran from the shifter down through the tranny to change the high/low shifting range. My first job out of the Army was in a 9000 White, super 250, mechanical 10 speed in 79.

@@BillHunclebuncle this one isn’t quite that old but I know exactly what you’re talking about. We looked at a ‘65 I think White 9000 with that style 10 speed in it. This one is “modern” with the air valve up on the stick.

@@Autocar87 … so short, but so close in time from days gone by……there is a significance that separates us from the modern drivers, and I’d guess that we’ve driven some of that same old road, that today’s driver has never experienced? Ahhhhh the good ole days……..

Thank you and I will try. I’m always on a tear and need to get things done and forget to bring the camera or mount. I’ll be using it some more in the upcoming weeks.

Ya got me, lock me up and throw away the keys. There was only one stop sign by the way. Don’t have one in my yard. If you’re going to be a busy body tattle tale, at least get the details right. Thanks for watching, like and subscribe 😊

Hard sound to mistake that’s for sure!

Right there, on the way to your mom’s house.

@@Autocar87 hill climb my A$$,with your shit clip

@@Autocar87 may be climbing your mama's A$$

@@Autocar87 I'm not sure if you're insulting him or actually know where his mom's house is 😁

That’s right! I’ve got another one I need to do a video on now as well

It will be gone through mechanically for sure. Going to be using it from time to time to haul dirt for different projects.

N = naturally aspirated.

@@Autocar87 How da fuq does a Detroit, which uses a blower, be naturally aspirated? 🤨

@@danielseelye6005 Detroit considers them naturally aspirated with just a blower. The blower is only used for scavenging and not boost.

Nice! Can’t wait to see it!

Lookin forward to seeing it.

* solid

Thanks for that idea. It does have dark green on the frame. The cab was originally a turquoise greenish color. , then it was red, now the white from what I can tell. I do see what looks like cream/tan on the hood that was maybe a two tone/stripe job too. I love finding the history on these old trucks. I’m sure this truck could tell a story or 100 haha

Thank you. It is a nice truck. This summer there will be many more videos I’m hoping. Even some hauling dirt and working.

Is it still up there for sale

Thanks, I’m a fan of the mid 70’s style wrap around dash but this is still a very classic style dash. Leg room is just enough for me at 6’2” but I don’t care, I’d rather a cosy cab over the newer condo style cabs where you can’t even roll the passenger side window down unless it’s power.

Nope, they were bummers for sure. Gotta work with what you’ve got. Once I rebuilt it, it’s been running strong since.

Awesome, I’ve got some more longer videos I’m going to upload soon. Was a good workout for it but did a great job per usual. Was loaded up 85-90k gross. So much more fun driving it loaded than just bobtail around. Was about 1.5hr trip each way. Highway, state roads and backroads. Very pretty trip.

@@Autocar87 hope I’m happy with mine

@@73DiamondReo is yours together running and driving?

@@Autocar87 still working on it

Thank you. I’m trying to make an effort to make content with the amount of junk I’m running and that’s in my yard, I should be able to make more videos. Let me know what you’d like to see or learn about. Thank! Like comment and subscribe please.

I added a brushless motor and was running it on 3s lipo power too. Haha. Very overpowered but lots of fun.

@@Autocar87 yeah looks insane :D Even the stock beetle is pretty fun. I found a stock super beetle like this in the basement recently but the tires now spin out on the rims after driving through some grass and probably getting some slippery dirt in there how the hell do the tires not spin on the rims on yours with 10x the power? haha 😂

@@ThunderDraws I used rubber cement to hold the tires to the wheels. Needed it for sure!

Yup, was a bit unexpected to say the least! I’ve got more video coming out soon.
