That is such a beautiful Tractor with such a beautiful sound! Lots of respect for the driver who took care of it. The trucking industry has a habit it of bringing new trucks and destroy history and the old trucks. To me as Truck Driver at heart that is sad. They literally could just keep the old trucks and sign up for Annual Truckers Club of America. For you to keep that truck up and going not only shows the Love for Trucks but the determination to keep our Trucks history from falling.
Boy, is that a familiar sound from the 1950s and 1960s! The GMCs ,Mack's and Internationals all had their own sound. I knew what kind of truck was coming from miles away. Thanks for the memories!
Very nice! I could listen to that Detroit all day and never get tired of it! Great restoration and loved the ability to float the gears as well as double clutch!👍👍
That is one sweet ride! I had a 6-71 in my Autocar Tri axle, 10 spd Road Ranger. I think I wore my right shoulder out shifting. The guys in the shop called it a converter, it converted diesel fuel to noise.
When I was a kid in the 60's these Jimmy's would always make me imagine that some day I would be behind the wheel of one. Done that, been there. Beautiful rig!
A beautifully re- stored piece of trucking history! Remember the engines were G.M. diesels at that time. The Detroit Diesel name was coined by I-H later on from where they were made Detroit, Mich. Remember G.M. sold many of these engines to compet- itor companies like Ford, Dodge and the big International- Harvester Co. At that time it didn't look good having a competitor's engine in a FORD for an example.This great restoration reminds me of the Canadian produced old T.V. show. CANNON- BALL with actors Paul Birch as ' Mike Malone' and William Campbell as ' Jerry Reed'. This show was around when I was 9 yrs. old. I was able to later ex- perience driving two I-H's with V-8 Detroit Diesels, and a short nosed Diamond- Reo with a real screamer 6V-53! My best friend taught me how to drive and was also an experienced diesel mechanic. My short time behind the wheel of a big rig came to an end when I got sick. The new trucks all look like they came out of a cookie cutter with no more of styling there once was.The KW's and PETES still look good, though.
A 10 speed ? R 2 4 | - | - | 1 3. 5 Split into high range at fifth And then 6th through 10th are in the exact same standard h pattern 6 is on top of first 7 on top of 2 8 on 3 9 on 4 10 on 5. You just shift a 5 speed twice basically
I used to work for magna int out of Markham Ontario Canada I’m going back in the late 80s and I was the shipper receiver we had a trucking company back then called icl international carriers limited so I mostly loaded finished car parts for Chrysler it was a stamping plant and unloaded more steel trucks than u can imagine anyway saw some pretty cool trucks back then the coolest was a old diamond t I couldn’t believe he was hauling loads with this truck it had a few bad spots on it but it was cool as hell I wouldn’t want to drive in the winter it would have been a cold old ride I’m thinking it was a early or late 40 s or early 50s truck don’t know how he wafted it you could see daylight threw the cab up in the back drivers corner I always wondered if he give it a Jew body job about one of the coolest trucks I ever unloaded hauling a full load of steel coils with it prob 70 or 80 thousand pound old with a old diamond T coolest old truck ever you also have a beautiful rig nice semi
Nothing beats the sound of a Detroit diesel... them engines are the definition of coolness in my humble opinion
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure
Amen
12V-71 sound's the best.

90s baby here and man I wish I could’ve grew up during those times but hey someone have to keep the memories floating for the next.
Nothing sounds as cool as a Detroit diesel
Thank God for the American Truck Historical Society. and thanks for the ride
That's one cool looking truck!
never gets old love that classic power sound of diesel back when things were built right made to last.😊
So nice to hear all the bells and whistles tom...and a great fuel rail injector tune. Motor sings.
Very nice! I could listen to that Detroit all day and never get tired of it! Great restoration and loved the ability to float the gears as well as double clutch!👍👍
I spent many years driving a 72 International 2000 238 DD and loved the sound of these old workhorses.

Listen to that sweet music GM POWER
Sounds badass
Love to see old trucks running is music to my ears
Wow. Beautiful...just beautiful. My late trucker/equipment operator father would have said, "I have to take a spin in this!"
When I was a kid in the 60's these Jimmy's would always make me imagine that some day I would be behind the wheel of one. Done that, been there. Beautiful rig!
Love the fact that you've maintained it not just to look pretty. You really DRIVE it the way it was always meant to be driven.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasures
Thanks for the ride along. "Cannonball" was 1 of my favorite shows as a kid. You have done a great job on this resto.
"Keep those wheels rollin'"

Awesome sounding and looking cannonball, thanks for the ride!
It's crazy how the truck sounds better than it looks because it looks amazing!
What a beautiful truck. I don't have words to describe how nice this truck is
That is the coolest truck I've seen man you did a beautiful job
I remember the TV show "Cannonball". I think it was produced in Canada and the two hero's drove a Jimmy just like this one. Fine looking rig.
Can't
u remmber how proud u were the 1st time you drove one of these !!! I thought I was " King of the Road "
Hello my friend writing with great pleasures
Awesome rig man! Badass sounding! Nice job on the restoration sir!
Back when a driver had to really know his stuff!!
@Southern Hellstorm it's a Detroit two stroke. They sound as such.
How to check the fuel and fill the oil, on these little whimpy things.
@@toddgittins5692
They didn't get very good fuel mileage about 4 MPG maybe a little more if Bob tailing
That is a thing of beauty.
Musica para mis oidos escuchar ese Detroit rugiendo

In 1958 I rode from Akron, Ohio to Buffalo NY and back with my uncle in a Canonball. Too young to appreciate the raspy 2 stroke exhaust.

Best sounding engines ever made, My dad drove a GMC 950 with that motor for Mobil Oil back in the day
Beautiful old school truck, there’s nothing like the sound of Detroit 2T sound, it’s music

This is honestly the coolest looking truck I have ever seen in my life and I dont really care much for trucks.
Fznamekdms um um kq
this thing is beautiful.
That is such cool lookin truck.always liked the sound of the 2 stroke DDs
The train horn is known as a Hankcock Air Whistle, and were intended to sound like a steam engine whistle.
The sound of those Detroit diesel's
Bring back these old trucks and the stick shifts, you would cripple an entire generation!
Have driven a few trucks with Detroit's never had one with a Jake Brake on it...twice the sound...up shifting and slowing down
I love it! It sounds like a muscle car!
NICE TRUCK. AMAZING EXHAUST MUSIC. BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
Thanks. Rebuilt the motor last year .
These trucks defines what trucking is
Beautiful truck.
Listen to that Detroit sing
Definitely no time for a power nap while driving these old dogs. This must be the first version of multi tasking.
I Drove on in a 1976 For L9000 wrecker!!!!
Nice restoration. That Detroit sounds like music to my ears.
Beautiful, historical truck. But what's with the train horn, and bell??? That's, not normal.
the year I was born wish I looked that good.
She's an absolute beauty
I never got to, DRIVE, a Detroit. But fell in love with the 4/71 and 6/71 I worked on in the Navy.
Beautiful truck I drove one of these trucks in a parking lot when I was fifteen years old. These trucks were pretty common back then.
Awesome video,beautiful truck thank you for sharing
Bad ass looking truck..
That is one sexy semi! The sound and the color are incredible.
If i hear "old machines are simpler" one more time.... Hell, i'll never get that shift pattern right.. Good skills and good truck, sir!
A 10 speed ?
R 2 4
| - | - |
1 3. 5
Split into high range at fifth
And then 6th through 10th are in the exact same standard h pattern
6 is on top of first
7 on top of 2
8 on 3
9 on 4
10 on 5. You just shift a 5 speed twice basically
Looks like an 8 speed or a 9
Thomas Ancas It’s a 10. The driver is skipping 6th. You can hear him grinding it in, and the RPM drop.
Now we’re trucking, men were men, trucks were iron!!
Una delicia de motor detroit un super chófer esté americano
Best sounding motor ever and real power steering!!! Whistle makes even cooler!!!
Not enough E in sweet and not enough O for smooth. Beauty of a truck and driving. Never seen one like that run. Thank you
There is no sound better than a Detroit.
