- My Buddy Big Steve and I travel to Montana to retrieve a huge Pepsi Truck with an 8.2 Liter Detroit Diesel, 5-Speed Transmission and two-speed electric rearend to repower my Vintage Wrecker that we call "Homer" We'll have our work cut out for us because the truck is way too long to fit on the trailer we brought.

Homer is going to love his new engine.
Yes,he is. Thanks for watching.
I am so Very Proud of you Rick, Homer is going to be able to pull again. I've been watching you for a long, long time, I don't comment much, but when I see stuff that needs to be said for the good, I'll mention it. And Jamie you have some pretty little baby ducks there, just let the mama's be mama's and everything will just be hunky dorie. Nuff Said.
Thank you Michael. I do actually feel a lot better just knowing I have what I need to square Homer away again. Jamie is an awesome Duck Mom. Thank you for the comments my friend.
Great to see you getting A new heart for Homer ! Was very pleased to see you using the cutting blade was worried for you using the grinder without a blade guard ! Those Diablo blades are so much faster and so much safer for you Rick
Those blades saved the day. Thank you for watching.
@@ClassicTruckRescue those blades made it look like you were cutting through plywood !!
It didn't stand a chance once I was able to put my weight into it...Haha.
Hay Rick, You & Steve Made A Great Vid. For Homer's New Transplant ! Can't Wait For The Up-Coming Post Prayers For All ! ATB T God Bless
Thank you Terry. Always good to hear from you my friend.
Looking forward to all the progress and all the projects to come.
Us too. Thank you.
Shew! I wouldnt wanna do that everyday, but those blades were a win!
You ain't Kiddin'. That was a pretty tough job and one I'm glad is finished. Thanks for the visit.
homer's possible new frame cool !!!
Yes...its about time. Homer did save our bacon. Thank you.
I'm glad homer's getting a new place on life
He's earned it. Thank you.
Rick God bless you and Jamie for your hard work and keep on trusting in the good lord take care and God bless
God is Awesome. Thank you and Amen.
You guys have a nice truck and a rebuild motor and lots of good parts to work with and smartly done the shortening and stacking it together for the towing and hauling.that’s going make the tow truck a lot nicer ❤🎉😂
Homer will live again ✌️
Yes he will...Thanks Joe.
Way to go mr Rick keep on truckin
Will do Billy. Thank you.
I love to see Homer running around again 👍🏼💯✌🏽
Me too. Thanks.
The end is really great news. Congratulations to the new mom's 👏
Salvation a great video. I have Hanover seen a truck cut like that in one day and load it ! I was shocked you didn't take the cut out frame rails and slip them under the truck and bring home ! So glad that you have a complete power drive train to homer ! Again a fantastic video ! Hope the house is coming along well ! Hi to jamie ! God Bless !
We made the decision to leave the frame section because that truck was already extremely heavy. God was definitely watching out for us on that Road Trip. It could've went much worse. Thanks for the visit.
Homer is number one of my favorites 👍
Me too my Friend. Thanks.
That Pepsi truck is from a very interesting town. Libby MT was poisoned by its vermiculite open pit mine. The vermiculite had asbestos in it.
I know. I watched a couple documentaries of that before Steve and I went on our Road Trip. It was trajic what happened to that town. All of the people we met there were awesome though.
I’ve always wondered about ol homer ever since the last video of him! I still go back and watch the video when you first got it sometimes. Love the content Rick, keep up the great work! Glad to see Homer live again! Also I have a bunch of 1/64scale models of old trucks which some of them are a lot like the ones you have and your videos actually inspired me to make sort of a diorama of a whole yard of them. Kinda my version of CTR!
That's awesome Lucas. I would love to see some photos of your trucks. rick@classictruckrescue.com
@@ClassicTruckRescue I sent some photos your way of my truck collection, had to send them in 2 emails though.
I did see those. An amazing collection. Looks like you put a lot of time and work into it. Thank you for sharing it with Jamie and I. I did respond to your email as well.
@@ClassicTruckRescue yessir I saw the email, my replies here must not have went through until now though.
Good ole Marge the Land Barge.
Can't wait to quit paying to rent an equipment trailer.
Looking forward to seeing Homer up and going
You and I both Matt. Thanks for the visit.
@@ClassicTruckRescue welcome I always look forward to a new video
Looked like a great Road trip Rick and Steve and Nice Detroit Diesel Congrats on the Ducks
I always enjoy my road trips with Big Steve. He's a good Friend. Thanks for the visit.
I am so happy that you found an engine for Homer Was a big Peace of building classic truck rescue Enjoy watching all of your videos piece out
Love you guys keep up the good work
Thank you Dennis and Thanks for watching.
Nice f350 Detroit Diesel gonna be fun.
Yes it is! Thanks for the visit.
Mmmmmm....Diesel beer.
Great job guys and God Bless all and we pray for the folks of tornado ally that lost love ones this past weekend ❤❤❤Love Jim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters critters
Yes we do pray for them. Thanks for another visit Jim.
Awe man, my grandaddy had a gate just like the one you have at the entrance of your place! Seeing that thing brings up memories! I can hear that thing even still, and it has been 25 years at least.
Funny what triggers our memories. We don't have that gate anymore. Jamie ran it over...TWICE with her truck. She had a slow learning curve after I installed the gate opener.
@ClassicTruckRescue oops! We never had anything but a chain that went around the post and clipped like a dog leash. I can hear that jingling sound clearly in my mind still today. Going through that gate was going into adventure for me as a kid. 80 acres of freedom. As a kid, that was like a whole country. just don't climb fences, or grandaddy would be mad.
Rick my heart was in my throat on the loading of this one for sure!!!! Can’t wait to see HOMER revived with the new power plant!!! How’s Jamie’s neck doing ???? Hopefully she’s doing good 👍!!! See you in the next amazing adventure!!!P out 👍!!
Jamie is doing much better Henry. She said to tell you Hello. Thanks for stopping by again.
That Detroit is gonna be "Bad to the Bone" in Homer 😎💪.
It'll be perfect. Thank you John.
Say what you want Homer got them back home!!
Yes He did. Homer's my Boy.
Classic Truck Rescue, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you so much for the Sub!
I have been waiting for Homer to make a return to the channel and to life. Some of my favorite videos have Homer in them.
More to come! Thank you.
Rick I have definitely been waiting to watch a makeover on one of my favorite trucks that you have had for a very long time and has also helped you out when you had to move very quickly also!!! I’m sure with some really good pictures of homer in your front pages to bring people into watching your channel there will be lots wanting to watch also!!! My buddy has an older 50s Chevy big tow truck and he also had a junkyard and would move anything and everything with it for years!!! He even would move semi’s with his!!! He still has his today!!! Oh I’m so excited to watch the makeover for sure!!!
I think you are absolutely right. Homer has his own fan club. Thanks for another visit.
Can’t wait to hear “screaming Homer” what a beast he will be! Steve is a great friend indeed! You sure made short work of that frame with that blade! I’m worried about you overworking yourself though Rick, I can hear and im concerned. I’m no spring chicken myself but I want to see you and Jamie get into your new home. God bless you both
I was pretty tired on this trip. I've been putting in a LOT of work. But yes, I will try to take it a little easier. Thanks Buddy.
I love them old Two Stroke Detroits!!
And after watching the entire video, I see how stupid my first comment looks...
Its a four-stroke Dan and its not what most diesel guys want, but I believe that with some upgrades it will be perfect for Homer's needs. Thanks for the visit my Friend.
@@ClassicTruckRescue It still ought to work well in Homer though.
I am glad you are getting homer back in working order homer reminds of the 58 apache trucks good luck Rick and Jamie take care and God bless you all
It will be great to go on more rescue missions with Homer. We are looking forward to it. Thank you Timothy.
Ricks and Jamie have a great duck and truck ranch😂😂🇺🇸✌️♥️😎
Jamie is very excited about the current events in her 'Quack-Shack". Thanks Terry.
Awesome choice. Love the sound of a screaming 2 stroke diesel ❤
It will be a good motor for Homer. Thanks for stopping by again Phil.
@ClassicTruckRescue is always a pleasure. It's 1am here and i just finished a late shift at work and I'm watching while I eat some food
8.2L is a four stroke.
@@richardmead9225cheers for the info. Didn't realise that
Awesome guys yeah, that save you a lot of work👍👍
For sure! Thanks Andy.
Awesome hope all is good with you both and have fun and be safe God bless you guys and keep videos coming
Thank you! Will do!
Congratulations on the duckies!! Nice rescue of the Diesel powered Pepsi truck. interior looked petty nice. Should be some extra parts for your box van.
Yes. I think you are quite right. Thanks for stopping by again.
HI again CTR Rick and Jamie from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing another great video 🤩👍 and it broke my heart to hear ol Bermmer 💔 giving our 😢💚 am great Job being a transplant Home 🎉👍💪
Homer will be doing much better real soon. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I love Homer can't wait to see him back in action.
Same here! I'm looking forward to it.
*Rick & Jamie, Homer will be zooming along when you fit in the new engine. Youngkin did well when unloading too 🙂nz*
Thank you. Can't wait to roll some coal in Homer. Thanks for stopping by again. Always good to hear from you.
I Love seeing those little baby ducks, nature is something to behold, now that im older it some how means more to me now, i didnt have the time when i was younger being on the road all the time.
Jamie and I were discussing the same thing. We realized those were the first of our animals to have babies on the ranch. Its pretty awesome to watch happen. Thank you Frank.
Awesome job, Rick and Steve.You sure dodged a bullet with that hitch.Homer is going to love that Detroit.Nice ducks,ain't nature grand.
Thank you Tony.
If I am not mistaken, the video with Homer & Big Steve was Steve's last time on the channel until his recent trike purchase. Correct me if I am wrong. Either way, it is good seeing Big Steve . He was a frequent guest in the early episodes. Adam too...
You'll be seeing more of both of them. Both are great guys. Thanks Lou.
I love it beefing up the old Chevy
I'm looking forward to the Homer Makeover. Thank you Sir.
Super💯video
Thank you James!
Hey there be ducklings 🐥 😉
Yup. Jamie loves it.
Everything is Ducky at the ranch ! Holy smokes ! Base price for the Rezvani is $285,000. They also make some other cool stuff !
Yes. I would say that their product line is a bit out of our budget. Cool stuff though. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri
Hi back from Molalla, Oregon.
Wow how i miss homer
So do I. The shop is almost completed......Homer Rides again soon.
That was darn cool! Glad to see Steve too. Can't wait to see Homer rebuilt doin what he does best 😉😉. Shouldn't you have a net over the duck pen to keep out flying predators?
There is a net over the duck area. It doesn't show up well on camera, but its there.

What Interesting Exciting Two Projects Rick "Homer" 59 Chevy Viking Tow Truck Is Getting New Powerplant Currency From 80 GMC Topkick Ol Beverage Truck Which Is Currently Being Shortbase From Ur Friend Steve
Thanks Buddy. I love road-trippin' with Big Steve.
Rick save those I Beam n make a Bridge with it 😆
We were pushing the weight as it was. The pintle hitch actually snapped off....I do not regret leaving that extra weight behind.
I don't comment much anymore but still watch and I just had to say I'm very excited for this new heart transplant for homer
Well. its good to hear from you Dave. Thanks.
Homers first load could be bullfrogs twin
Yup. Thanks for the visit.
Sounds like you getting tried out when working on that truck when is new 🆕 house 🏡 coming home can't wait to see your old truck 🚒🚛
I can't imagine why it would sound like I get tired when I work....maybe its because I'm older than dirt Terry! Haha.The house is going to be on the property this month...or so I've been told. Thanks for another visit.
Get an old row boat and make a pond for those ducks. Give them room to swim.
They already have a kids pool in there. The baby ducks love it. A bigger pond may be needed in the future though. Thanks.
Try out the Diablo 7 1/2inch circular saw blades. They just go on your old wood cutting Skilsaw instead of the wood blade. They cut metal great! Even the heavier plate. I'm a believer.
I actually bought one. I just haven’t tried it out yet. Thanks, John.
You should have had a cutting torch to cut the frame with
I can't argue with you on that one. If we ever go on another Rescue Mission where cutting is involved, the torches will be with is. Thanks for stopping by Jimmy-Jimmy.
Awesome Rick I’ve been watching for a new video here watching 9:17 PM Monday, May 27
Thanks Andy.
Finally
Right? Thanks.
So, ha ha, Homer about to be Pampered too.
Homer deserves it.
I have a few diesel engines I run with waste vegetable oil. These older non DEF engines are ideal for swaps.
Yes, I'm looking forward to this project. Thank you.
I would have put the cut out section on the back part or under the truck since you had the loader and taken it with me. Hate to waste good metal.
Yeah...then the pintle hitch might have snapped of while we were in the mountains instead of that parking lot. I'm just grateful that it all worked out.
Diablo blades are no joke…Best blades on the market just saying.!!!
I completely agree. I was very surprised at how they chewed through that thick metal.
Hi Rick must be busy lately havnt seen many videos is this one up to date thanks good talking
It was filmed on May 18th, 19th and 20th of this year, so I would say yes, its up to date. Ignore the timestamps on the videos, I never update those.
U should have put them I beams down the center of the trailer.
We were pushing the weight as it was. The pintle hitch actually snapped off....I do not regret leaving that extra weight behind. If we would've had that extra weight on the trailer, the hitch may have snapped while we were on the highway or a mountain road.
Try out some Lenox FIRE&RESCUE sawzall blades, used em to cut axles in two
I'll check those out. Thank you.
im glad to see homer is coming back, but do be mindful of the heat that engine sees, they are not the best due to having headgasket issues from to small and not enough head bolts, they dont have the same reputation the 2 strokes do
Thank you. I am aware of the 8.2 problems, but I also think there are things I can do to ensure it doesn't get overheated and the whole package brings a lot of upgrades to Homer including power steering and brakes.....which I'm going to be needing before long.
Pepsi cab for a new cluck a truck
I kind of like the small back window.
I forgot all about "Homer's Last Stand" and wondering, when you walked up to it, how the hell a rod knock was causing the rear end to smoke:)
The rearend was smoking because the brakes went out on our way back to the Ranch and Big Steve was using the E-Brake to finish the mission.
hi cong on baby duck to both of you
Thanks Mike.
@@ClassicTruckRescue yw
8.2 Detroit Diesel V-8. Non-turbo, and a departure for Detroit Diesel at the time as this is a 4-cycle as opposed to the usual 2-cycle setup…
Yes, I have received a crash course on Dieselology. It will work well for the intended job with the proper upgrades and precautions. Thanks for the visit.
@@ClassicTruckRescue I do apologize if my comment was construed as being condescending, it certainly wasn’t meant to be as such. It was more of a disclaimer to fellow viewers..
I completely understood your point. Its all good my Friend. Thank you for taking the time to watch and thanks also for your input.
7.3's rule
I wouldn’t mind having a stockpile of 7.3’s laying around.
Hey Rick hey Jamie thank you for the video and I hope you and your whole family had a nice happy memorial Day weekend and you're welcome Rick
Same to you! Thank you Scott.
Rick, Very good video. But i think you should have done some more research on the 8.2L, the Re-man at 80k is a tell right there..... try to sell it and go with your BB Chevy or a Cummings . before you put more time and money in this. open deck design, head gasket issues. there are some youtube videos on this engine.
You are correct, but I've also been told that when they underwent a factory remanufacture, they recieved upgrades. Its also an easy route to power steering and brakes for Homer and I'm not getting any younger. I know they aren't big horsepower engines, but I'm looking for steady and consistent.
😎😎✌️👍
Thanks Kermit.
Rezvani models - Rezvani
1,000 HP mid-engine V8. Carbon fiber body. 007 package. Starting at $485,000....Ha
Doesn't look like Jamie and I will be rushing out to get one....haha.
A torch would have worked better.
I wanted to try to get it done without a torch. We were in the middle of the woods and did not have water available right there. But we DID have one on standby.
Spare parts for Curtis too?
Yes Tom.
Why did you leave the rest of the frame behind? You could have taken to a metal recycler and gotten a few bucks back.
We were pushing the weight as it was. The pintle hitch actually snapped off....I do not regret leaving that extra weight behind.
@@ClassicTruckRescue I understand. I look forward to seeing Homer get his makeover.
HEY RICK MY BIRTHDAY TODAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLES!
TY RICK
are you moving the house soon / have you got the foundation under the shop yet ???
The house will be moved onto the property sometime this month. The foundations and everything else will be done as funds become available. It does cost a lot to do this stuff. Thanks for stopping by again.
About that Governor????
Shhhhh......
Hello Rick great video I came across your channel because I’m currently doing some research about a build I’m planning on doing. Basically long story short I’m trading a snowplow for a 6v53 mated to an Allison 643. And I have a truck that’s needing a new motor. But it’s a 65 ford. Not really worthy of a Detroit swap. Then I thought of the Chevrolet Viking and thought man that’d be one hell of rig and decided right then and there about 6 hours ago that this would be the kind of truck that would be receiving that 1700 pound monstrosity of a power plant. I wanted to try to figure out what kind of issues might arise with this kind of swap. So after a bit of digging it seems to me you’re one of very few to have done this with a Detroit.
Disclaimer: I know there are other detroits out there for around the same price that’d probably be better but if you’re thinking that you’re forgetting I’m trading a snowplow that I don’t need for it. Thank you
You can always reach me at Rick @classictruckrescue.com. If you have questions and need technical help thank you for watching.
Jamie looked so much nicer and, Prettier with STRAIGHT HAIR …!! Just not a fan of Dredlocks looks dirty, grimy…
It was something she wanted to do. I don't tell Jamie what to do and she shows me the same respect. Also, Jamie hasn't had long hair since before I met her. Her ex was physically abusive and she can't grow long hair because he ripped it out in the back and on top. When it looked like she had long hair, those were extensions. I'm okay with whatever she does as long as she is happy.
@@ClassicTruckRescue ❤❤
Yeah not exactly the Governator
To put it mildly.
Is it a Detroit Diesel or a DDEC ? . The eye beams could make a small bridge 😅
The pintle hitch snapped on the way home. Fortunately it happened in the parking lot where I showed it. If that would've broke on a mountain it might've gone a lot worse. No, I don't regret leaving that big hunk of steel behind.
Awesome job! But I hate that you can’t even speak o what needs speaking about. Stay tuned! #AmericaFirst #Trump2024 #America250 USA 🇺🇸’merica!
Unfortunately, we are all well-aware of the current hypocrisy......I do depend on the financial help I get from my channel and you and I both know that if I "Speak Freely" I will be attacked. Jamie and I pray for our Country regularly and it is our hope that things are going to change for the better real soon.
U will never put the truck together and u no it homer is done for so don't tell people u are going to fix it we will all be dead before you ever fix that truck haha funny ha
Haha. Aren't you one of the people who was also claiming I would never finish my building. For one man, I think I can safely say I've accomplished more on this ranch and built more trucks than most normal men would. I wonder what YOU'VE ever accomplished other than trying to bring people down. Peace-out.
Hi there Rick and Jamie and everyone at Classic Truck Rescue. I can’t wait to see Homer with that nice motor in it , should sound really awesome bud. Those ducks are so cute and gorgeous bless them and the ranch is coming along nicely, I love it .
Thank you Buddy and Thanks for stopping by again.
😎😎✌️👍
Thanks again Kermit.
Nice deal,likes the ducks.
Thank you John and Thanks for watching!
Please don’t put that engine in the tow truck that is a 8.2 one of the worst engines ever built
I hear you’re concern, but if you ever watch the video where they intentionally ran one of those at full throttle to blow it up because it was the worst engine ever made?
Good job 👏 ❤loving it Holmer will be happy with that new decisel engine 😅
I think it will be perfect fro Homer. Thanks.
homie
Yup.
