Truck made in 1956 and still an absolute workhouse. In the same way I love to see classic race cars still be driven like they were meant to be, seeing a 351 still being used for work makes me happy.
Thanks you sir! She's definitely a good old work Truck! You should see the look on the truck driver's faces when you go by with a 130000 pound loaded cat scraper on the back In a 1956 Peterbilt you'd think they seen a ghost! Lol
MAN THAT CUMMINS SOUNDS AWESOME!!! The BAWWL of the engine when you call back on the throttle after a shift is MUSIC!! That old Pete's got plenty of "Git and Dig"
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8the old Mack’s were damn good trucks too, the 237 and 300’s were bulletproof I miss hauling coal, RIP uncle Charlie I miss you.
Used to have a Big Cam in a cabover KW, 13 speed, 3.70s on 22s. Those engines were wonderful, easy to work on and just did the job. Too bad the ISX is not like that.
Yes sir she just got new fuel filters got another video to put on but couldn't fit the whole thing on on video IL put it up soon thanks for the comment good buddy!
What a cool view being able to see what you do with the shifter and pedals. Could you make some cold start videos with this view? Would be so neat to see the full starting procedures of all your trucks - what you do with the accelerator, controls, etc during cold starts. Subscribed!!
Thank sir ! On the cold start I pull the compression release and spin the engine till I see oil pressure then I release it and she fires right up I will do one soon In the cab start for you !
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8 if I had the $ I’d build a bunch of older HD trucks, I have the knowledge just not the funds. Old Pete’s and Mack’s and Autocars are worth saving espHD trucks, they don’t have to be fast and deep reduction gears are perfect for pulling lowboys
@@deborahchesser7375 yeah you don't have to have horsepower years and years ago all the truck drivers ran with 220 Cummins small cams and 8v 71 and 6 71's caterpillar brought horsepower to the plate I agree though the newer trucks are running 550 600 horsepower with 373 gear but most are running 355 and I've seen some running in the real low 300s but to make these old trucks pull you need patience and a good driver
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8 the Mack DM I drove had a 300 plus 15 speed Tri-Plex(I learned to double clutch like a champ)and #65,000 bogies, wide open in low low it ran 2 mph maybe, what a beast. Double frame, camel back, the works. They weren’t fast and sure weren’t comfortable but they lasted and were made to be rebuilt. Love your vids brother, I’ll be watching for more, thanks a bunch 👍🇺🇸
It would be pretty bad A to do a ride along with you and that 351 talking trucks and swapping stories all the while enjoying the turbo spool and the roar of that small cam at work!!!
Man those old Cummins sound awesome and yours seems to pull pretty well too. Awesome truck mate congrats on a beautiful restore, I can only imagine how fun and enjoyable it must be to drive that old classic everytime, I love the old iron too and miss it as it's slowly disappearing from the roads as the new computer controlled plastic crap is taking over. Enjoy your ride mate. Cheers from New Zealand, I'm going to hit the subscribe button straight after this👍
Thank you my friend I am glad you liked the channel and subscribe I am 38 years old but I have been dealing with this old stuff since the 80s I grew up around it.dropped out of school when I was 11 years old went on a construction job every day I've been around cable equipment and mechanical engines Is my whole life from Detroit to Caterpillar to Cummins and Mack I've drove them all cab overs conventionals from Ford's peterbilt Broadway's freight liners autocars And even diamond rios We had a construction business that had over 400 and some odd pieces of equipment we did big highway jobs and back then old stuff was very plentiful That'll old Pete you couldn't have got 5 grand For it back in the 90s now iv turned down 50k for the old Pete and kept it pull a lowboy trailer thanks for your comments and you all have a merry Christmas!
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8 I know where there’s a few old Mack DM coal buckets sitting, I bet they’d be perfect for dragging lowboys. #55,000 rear ends should do the trick.
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8 very interesting buddy, I have been driving for some time to, iam 34 years old & I have a 1985 Peterbilt 359, I don't ever plan on selling it, my future plans for my truck is to get it to make 800hp & be reliable if that's even possible lol, I love your vids bro & your truck is so cool, I love the home made exhaust stacks you made the sound Amazing
@@anthonionesbitt7721 thanks you so much Buddy I believe taking what you got and making it work ! The old cummins are fairly expensive to get 800 horsepower out of and be reliable you would need ceramic coated Pistons you would have to take your stock injectors out send them to a injection shop to be reflued for a larger CC output the cam would need to be degreed with the right keyway you would need a different turbo and manifold depending on the size radiator if you have the narrow radiator or the wide radiator which would be featured for the 1693 or the 3408 caterpillar or the KT Cummins you could get either or in the Peterbilts you more than likely have a wide radiator which means it takes up both sides of your Hood Pittsburgh Power talks about putting dual fuel lines meaning fuel lines from the front of the head and on the back of the head but really where your horsepower is you have to pull the liners that are in it now out machine the block for a press fit sleeve and get the block decked and heads resurfaced I'm not big on turning an engine more than 2,200 2300 RPMs Max people take 855 Cummins and turn them 2,700 RPMs they will drop a valve but you can get the horsepower out of a 855 it's probably going to cost you in the vicinity of 14 to 16 Grand what I would do personally is hunt down a KT 19 Cummins Truck Engine I've had a few they brought big money when I sold the trucks everyone loves a KT Cummins engine you can find them in generators construction equipment and other industrial equipment but if you want big horsepower you have two roads pick up a KT Cummins for 10 to 12,000 rebuild it maybe another six grand and have a thousand horsepower with monster torque you'll have to invest in a good clutch but they are very underrated the 3408 cat will not touch the KT Cummins hands down best engine I've ever had I still have one in my shop tore down I'm going to rebuild it one day
@@anthonionesbitt7721 I remember those old truck we bought some back in the 90s 58000 lb rears we hauled dirt with them and found out how hard the ground was 🤣!we would load the lite and haul off road on the jobs . A few time I remember the drivers would accidentally forget to open the tail gate and the trucks would stand up in the air about 20 ft! The only way to get it down was to put it in low gear Rev and back the truck up the pile and it would come back down 🤣 the driver probably shit his self🤣
I double down on Deborah C's comment. That gear whine brings back a ton of memories & will sing like that forever. No automatic will ever talk to you like that through the night.
Iam guess your small cam was rebuilt to a big cam 400 lll with bigger injectors bigger turbo , duel fuel lines, timing lowered ceramic coated pistons, & heat treated cam for more top end power, looking from the video your truck is making 750hp😊👍
@@351peterbiltsmsrepair8 wow iam very impressed I really like your setup, my setup only making 520 right now, I noticed the aluminum pistons can't handle the stress from heat of the extra fuel, if only they made steal pistons for Cummins big cam🤔
@@anthonionesbitt7721 ceramic coated Pistons or Teflon coated Pistons along with the skirts can produce that kind of horsepower but you will run into an issue with the liners you will have to get the block machine to fit a sleeve instead of a liner deck the block and and surface heads put exhaust valves in place of intake valves exhaust valves are made different than the intake valves on the 855 Cummins they are made for heat and take valves are not as strong

@@1hydrostatic yeh it is, that 335 is the last of the really good sounding Cummins motors that crackled like the 275 and 300
I’ve always loved the sound of the whine of an old 13 speed.
You got yourself a fine Peterbilt it’s always nice to see these classic trucks still on the road I wish they still built them like they use too
Amen sir !! I miss the old days !!!
There's a guy with a 2000 model 379 done up a bit retro style. Not sure what engine maybe an ISX. It's on Ytube you might like that one.

Love that screaming sound of that old 13 speed shifting through the gears. Always have loved that sound.
Man sounds good real good...my grandfather all ways us to say that's the twilight zone..when you give the high gear....
Amen!
I love every video of this ol truck! She seems to move along pretty good with a heavy load. 😁👍
Thank you sir been off the you tube for a bit I'm back now il post a video tomorrow!!!
Moves along pretty good because you have a driver who knows what he's doing
Pulls awesome and sounds smooth . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your support sir!
Nice to see that old 351 still earning her keep after all these years.
Amen!

Thank you sir much more to come!!!!
This is a real deal Peterbilt when trucks were TOUGH! Not shiny and comfortable. Awesome man. 😃
Thanks brother
love those old petes thats a real truck no plastic to see here folks . thanks for the ride
Thank you sir !
That Ol Pete didnt even breath hard, very nice, and sounds great.
I'm surprised that didn't have a double stick in her, truck I learn to drive was a 67 long nose Kenworth with a 4x4. Love your pete
Thank you sir she's still dependable!!!
Good to see a nice old lady in duty 👍
SmallCam pull's nicely💪
Yes sir she just got new fuel filters got another video to put on but couldn't fit the whole thing on on video IL put it up soon thanks for the comment good buddy!
