Click here to watch us recover this truck and another one from where they've been hidden in a barn for 30 years ruclips.net/video/uje60nS2KA4/видео.htmlsi=vbyvopq6lZpD0ZNw
I started driving Detroits back in 1975, and I had a boat with a pair of 6-71's. I will NEVER get tired of hearing those engines! And resurrecting a cool old truck is about the second greatest gift to mankind! Well done guys! And a Merry Christmas to all.
These old diesels are incredible , they beef up everything forged steel connecting rods geared timing insted of timing belts or chains . They really used to build them too last .....
My grandpa and uncle drove gravel train in Michigan and I remember seeing that cabover when I was a kid and you can't ever forget the beautiful sound of a buzzin dozen
Oh man you shoulda seen it. We only had enough hose to hook up the lift side of cylinders - the other side of the cylinders was disconnected so if it went past balance point it woulda free fell.
What a glorious thunder when she leapt to life, there’s just nothing else that sounds like one of those big old mills! Very cool, love this truck what a beast, whoever ran this thing back in the day was the king shit of the road 👍
First great credit to you younger guys for saving these from the melting pot. It is so nice to see people taking intres in theses trucks that are younger than me. The removal of the air intake from the sleeper was commonly done. Reasons for this were first it gave you more room for your feet when you were sleeping at night. Second made the cab quieter and warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. As a Canadian all of the v12 we saw had 46,000 pound rears it is funny to see this big power with such small rear ends. Most of the V12 up here were used for hauling trains. So there aren’t many left that were not work to death. Can’t wait to see the progress.
Love this content, Good to see a few friends enjoying and sharing an interest in old classic trucks. Must be a great feeling seeing that motor come alive again after all of those years.
This is what many women won't understand. Thou it is work, when you are with your buddies fixing things, and having a beer, brings a lot of men happiness and satisfaction!
I've been obsessed with semi's since I was young and still am at 49 but cabovers were always my favorite. I drool watching these videos cuz I've never been in a semi. This was awesome!
A will it start done the right and proper way finally all these people out here going on let's do a will it start destroying the motors not taking the time to do it right just want to say thank you and it was an honor to have seen it done the proper way enjoy all your videos
It absolutely blows my mind that truck could have sat that long and then started up that easy and ran that clean. Wishing Everyone A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thank You for today’s video. I’m avoiding family and watching this video. I’d rather watch your videos than be stuck with annoying people. Merry Christmas my friend.✌️
What a cool truck! I love the sound of a Detroit! My buddy had '74 Kaywopper K925 dump truck with an 8V-71, and I loved riding in that truck listening to the Detroit sing!
Such a Beautiful old truck!!!!...great comedic references and then the small hammer and no brass to hit against anywhere..That engine starts right up only because of your genius hands..Really awesome video guys....I hope you had a Merry Christmas..I am going to have to go back and watch you guys pulling this old girl out of North Carolina and wish I was somewhere warm even though you guys are further north than myself and I am only in PA...John
Beauty gonna need a Jake set That rear diff loose input is probably a shot pocket bearing on the pinion sqhd's are famous for that trick Great work guys
It's always great when you have James bacon with you on these adventures, although he's been a little bit reserved than normal all in all another great video Wayno Merry Christmas
Ive not heard that engine for over 30 years ... That GGGGgggggrrrr Ggggrrrr ... Oh man - im 25years old again with my open pipes and full throttle at Nevada open highway... THANK YOU!!!
"The Buzzin´Dozen". It must be so cool driving a 12 cylinder 2-stroke diesel that revs so high in a truck. Best Regards and Merry Christmas from a German viewer.
That is an awesome truck all around. Imagine being the guy that drove that one new? Telling everyone he's got the buzzin dozen. Nice to see it live again.
Man this brings back memories…I grew up on a farm in Ohio. As a little kid, I would love it when the trucks would come to the farm to pick up a load of grain. Usually corn or soybeans! Sometimes wheat or oats. But I would beg the truckers to let me ride in the cab, sometimes they would let me ride to the edge of the property….I thought that was the best thing ever! I still feel that excitement when I see some close up truck action. Thanks for sharing! Happy holidays to you and family…..Tom
Engine appears quite solid , considering clean exhaust on initial start up . And limited smoke out of left pipe on acceleration . I guess you learned the right tricks , working on your V-12 CO several years ago . Good job !
Large 10-4 on the restart, sweet diesel jimmy’s cricket son, greasy knuckle skinned big truck fun, hell ya over copy hello’s anybody home radio check . 🇺🇸🍺🇨🇦
Beautiful old COE, kinda small fuel tanks though, for a truck that would get 5 mpg, on a good day..love the old DD, my dad had a 78 pete, he bought it new in 79
That is a peachy 362 😎 Perfect lowboy hauler, even has a wet kit 🙂 Has there ever been a more fitting case for a sympathetic recommissioning and then to be cherished as-is?! What a find, boys, props to you all 😎🤟🏼
A couple hundred years from now, hopefully there will be people that still are interested into the past. Maybe there will be a museum of 20 th century transportation with one of these trucks in it. Maybe someone will get the idea of starting one of these trucks. There will be an effort to find a diesel fuel. A primitive battery would be made. Scientists will ponder the internal combustion engine as a crude beast of a bygone era. And it WILL START. They always do. And the sound and the feeling of its vibration will be heard again. Detroits never die; they just wait for a new owner to appreciate them. Well done guys!!!!!!
Love big 2 strokers, I used drive one back in the 80s. It was a cabover Transtar II it had 444 rear with a roadranger 13 speed. We were hauling dirt and road mix on the Papago Freeway. That truck would out run everyone. At least from 0 to 70.
Unfortunately if Donnie ever decides to Sign up and goin the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) he would be told by the President of the ATHS;that he would have to put the air cleaner back in it's origional location or he wouldn't be able to join as that is one of the conditions that needs to be met,if someone wants to register their truck in the ATHS it has to be in origional (factory stock) condition for a classic truck to be registered in the ATHS Historical class section at truck shows like MATS (Mid America Truck Show).

I never get tired of them either! Merry Christmas!
I started on a 1972 Brockway 318 Detroit 13 speed and your absolutely right that sound of a Detroit will haunt you forever!!!!
@@DaveO-ts8dw Seems EVERYONE started on them, and then you either loved em or hated em from there!
A pair of 6-71s, I'm surprised that you can hear anything now 😊 I'll bet that was some sweet music.
@Notthisguyeither 🤣🤣🤣
That thing cranked up like it was parked in that barn last winter. Fantastic.
Unreal how well they come back to life sometimes!
@@Ol2StrokerNow I just wonder why it was parked just starting like that? Hope you had a festive holiday Wayne. Have a great New Years 🎉
covered it in the first video. Economy tanking, fuel prices, and their business changed more to excavation.
@Ol2Stroker Ah, shows how much retention I have! Did watch, guess I was still mesmerized by the pair - best to you, hopes for a great new year.
anytime I hear a Detroit come to life I'm happy.
same!
These old diesels are incredible , they beef up everything forged steel connecting rods geared timing insted of timing belts or chains . They really used to build them too last .....
They sure did!
What a Christmas present. Thank you Wayne
Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy the video.
Nuthing better than hearing that engine running after being left for dead ... awesome .
This truck is a jem of an old school truck the sound of old disels running is music to my ears good job getting it up and running 😊
Hell yea thanks!
As badass as a long hood conventional cab is I will always love me a cabover the best, and this one is super cool! What a rig! 👍
It's aces!
Death trap in a wreck.
@andyloebrown8250 don't wreck it 🤷
@@Ol2Stroker And don't wear no damned flip-flops in it!!!!😁
@@Ol2Strokercan’t always help it, especially if the other driver is an idiot
My grandpa and uncle drove gravel train in Michigan and I remember seeing that cabover when I was a kid and you can't ever forget the beautiful sound of a buzzin dozen
No way that's awesome!!!
That's very cool!
That is the most frightening thing. Tilting a cab for the first time in a long time.
Oh man you shoulda seen it. We only had enough hose to hook up the lift side of cylinders - the other side of the cylinders was disconnected so if it went past balance point it woulda free fell.
And if we're being honest i still get nervous every time i tilt mine.
Hey steve
My mack cruiseliner sat for 20 years...blew ram first...then cab lock....then pump shit the bed...They make me nervous as well...
@edvisser2423 they can be such a pain. When i did mine i just immediately replaced all the lines before even trying it.
What a glorious thunder when she leapt to life, there’s just nothing else that sounds like one of those big old mills! Very cool, love this truck what a beast, whoever ran this thing back in the day was the king shit of the road 👍
I would love to see a picture of it working!
Awesome guys I drove a 79 transtar coe in 86 it had the 318 Detroit in it fell in love with that old truck.keep it up guys
That's late for an old 318!
I drove a couple trucks with what we called the 318 Jimmy, Loved the sound of them, the V 12 the old school guys called it "Buzzin Dozen"
Congratulations Wayne on a Successful Startup and to Donnie for saving a Beautiful 352 , 👍👍👍👍
He finally got his dream truck after our 7 year chase!

Thanks for the props I'm trying to save as many as i can!

Thanks man! It's the greatest, together with friends resurrecting a legend. Doesn't get any better for a guy like me.
Every dude should have a old school cabover
Agreed
I love how clean it runs after sitting all those years! Hating on Brucie W was epic, should’ve threw Whistlin Diesel under the bus as well 😂
It runs really well after all that sitting! No hate intended just talkin a little shit!
THanks for all the videos Wayne! Merry Christmas. Those trucks are a huge score.
Merry Christmas!
Now that presents have been opened, family is napping...time for watching some 12v-71 goodness! Merry Christmas!
Hell yes! Merry Christmas!
Good job everyone getting it back up and running sounds great great 😊
Wayne is the real Santa on this Christmas Morning. 😂
I'm trying! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas uncle Wayne, and thanks for keeping these things alive!
Merry Christmas!
this is honestly my dream truck. seriously nice. glad you can save it
Very cool that you guys saved this truck!!
This is what many women won't understand. Thou it is work, when you are with your buddies fixing things, and having a beer, brings a lot of men happiness and satisfaction!
Always fun regardless of what you’re working on when you’re with the boys
That's another really cool truck and it's a runner!
Wow ! 352 with a 12/71 cleaned up real nice , needs just a little more love and care ! The 359 has a 12/71 wow !
She's getting all the love, bud.
Oh yea we'll get it backed dialed. Great start though!
I've been obsessed with semi's since I was young and still am at 49 but cabovers were always my favorite. I drool watching these videos cuz I've never been in a semi. This was awesome!
Cabovers are a totally different driving experience. You've gotta get a ride in one!
Can't hardly wait to see yours up and running. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! It's KILLING me
Man, I can never get enough of that "Ole Detroit" Sound Thanks And Merry Christmas to U and your family.
Me either Merry Christmas!
A will it start done the right and proper way finally all these people out here going on let's do a will it start destroying the motors not taking the time to do it right just want to say thank you and it was an honor to have seen it done the proper way enjoy all your videos

Pretty amazing actually! Merry Christmas!
Now that was a Christmas Miracle right there! Thanks Wayne and Donnie, and Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas!!
Great video Wayne very nice sounding 12V71 in that vintage cabover Peterbilt. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.
Thanks man Merry Christmas!
As per usual your films get a like at 0.00001of a second. No "click" but what a great truck
Thank You for today’s video. I’m avoiding family and watching this video. I’d rather watch your videos than be stuck with annoying people. Merry Christmas my friend.✌️
Bahahaah hell yea Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and happy Detroit sounds
Merry Christmas!
What a cool truck! I love the sound of a Detroit! My buddy had '74 Kaywopper K925 dump truck with an 8V-71, and I loved riding in that truck listening to the Detroit sing!
Very cool! Not a lot of guys left that can say that!
This brought back great memories. First truck l.learned in with my dad. 74 352. 350 Detroit 13 sp.
Im jealous what a truck to start in and what a memory!
Such a Beautiful old truck!!!!...great comedic references and then the small hammer and no brass to hit against anywhere..That engine starts right up only because of your genius hands..Really awesome video guys....I hope you had a Merry Christmas..I am going to have to go back and watch you guys pulling this old girl out of North Carolina and wish I was somewhere warm even though you guys are further north than myself and I am only in PA...John
Thanks, John! We had a great Christmas and hope you did too!
Couple of heat cycles to free up any stuck rings...some new tires.. back on the interstate!. Keep up the great work.
She definitely needs a little more love than that, but all the major components aren't far off!
We all need to help spread the channel. Great content truck lovers are missing some cool stuff.
I'd sure appreciate it! Merry Christmas!
Beauty gonna need a Jake set That rear diff loose input is probably a shot pocket bearing on the pinion sqhd's are famous for that trick Great work guys
Seemed like the flange was loose on the shaft, who knows it was dark and i only looked for a minute. She definitely needs a jake!
WOW SHE GOT THAT DETROIT GROWL TO HER
It's always great when you have James bacon with you on these adventures, although he's been a little bit reserved than normal all in all another great video Wayno Merry Christmas
Thanks Merry Christmas!
Gotta love a 12, awesome
Everyone loves a 12 pack!
What a gorgeous rig! My neck turns with every cab over I see on the Tubes. Glad I dropped in.
Glad you did too! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the mint update, love seeing these forgotten ones kick into life 👌 merry Christmas 🎄 to you all from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Merry Christmas!
Amazing how effortlessly she fired up and ran! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Thanks we did! Merry Christmas!
That thing is a beaut !!!!
Great times with friends on the same page
Absolutely what it's all about!
I like the root beer and cream soda colors. It’s making me thirsty for a soda. 🥤
Haha i guess i didnt notice that but they are!
The paint is beautiful 😊
He got super lucky on the paint!
Ive not heard that engine for over 30 years ... That GGGGgggggrrrr Ggggrrrr ... Oh man - im 25years old again with my open pipes and full throttle at Nevada open highway... THANK YOU!!!
Stay tuned there’s more!
You caught a real good runner there! Nice idle and all. It sounds happy!
Yeah it was a real surprise how well it ran!
"The Buzzin´Dozen". It must be so cool driving a 12 cylinder 2-stroke diesel that revs so high in a truck.
Best Regards and Merry Christmas from a German viewer.
King of the road!
She sounds great!
Hell yea 🤟
That is an awesome truck all around. Imagine being the guy that drove that one new? Telling everyone he's got the buzzin dozen. Nice to see it live again.
I can't even imagine what it was like being the guy to buy one brand new and get to spend every day with it.
If only i could have it…… badass rig that is and I love those old Detroits just music to my ears everytime i hear them
Thanks man!
What a sweetheart, she sounds strong
Runs pretty good so far!
Looks awesome all dusty

Very cool with a little bit of work it will be a nice truck
Merry Christmas Wayne happy to see you working on a 12 my favorite since starting at a DDA distributer in late 1972
Merry Christmas! I like your name on here!!
THE ORIGINAL ROAD KING, BUZZIN DOZEN!!!!
Hell yea!
Crazy to see a highway truck and especially a cab over with a 12-71, some of our off road logging trucks had 16-71's.
Very nice pair of trucks!
Engine appears quite solid , considering clean exhaust on initial start up . And limited smoke out of left pipe on acceleration . I guess you learned the right tricks , working on your V-12 CO several years ago . Good job !
Sweet running 12vDetroit .
Merry Christmas Wayne . Always dig the Detroit stuff.

Awesome!! Was it a Pete or a KW?
Beautiful old COE, kinda small fuel tanks though, for a truck that would get 5 mpg, on a good day..love the old DD, my dad had a 78 pete, he bought it new in 79
Was built with two 70 gallon tanks. I guess they liked getting fuel twice a day.
Yea twin 70s is short haul capacity for a v12 lol

I had a 79 352 and a 78 K100 KW. both cat powered .
Nice! Which cat? A model, 1693, or 3408?!
Old school RULES!!!!
Hell yea it does!
Its amazing just how loud these things are and this is the manufacture trying to make them not loud, lol.
Twice the combustion events as a 4 cycle!
Those mud flaps are cool as hell. I still buy parts from A&L here in Michigan.
Oh no way I didn't realize they were still around
@@Ol2Strokerohhh yeah good old school guys over there
@krisstanis2415 they're hard to find nowadays!

What freightliner?
@@Ol2Stroker The one you made 3 videos of. THANK YOU for the Christmas card. You are a class act brother.

Thanks for watchin!
thats literally my dream truck
Nice to know yall found Optimus Prime
Love hearing that old Detroit sing
Me too!
@Ol2Stroker nothing like it
Merry Christmas Wayno! Thanks for the present ❤
Merry Christmas!
To me, I think it looks better with the intakes up behind the cabin instead of through it.
Better isn't original.
Unfortunately if Donnie ever decides to Sign up and goin the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) he would be told by the President of the ATHS;that he would have to put the air cleaner back in it's origional location or he wouldn't be able to join as that is one of the conditions that needs to be met,if someone wants to register their truck in the ATHS it has to be in origional (factory stock) condition for a classic truck to be registered in the ATHS Historical class section at truck shows like MATS (Mid America Truck Show).
@devinrussell420 don't get me started on the ATHS. I had a little online feud with them a few years ago.
Nothing like a screaming demon to wake you up and put on the jake brakes priceless
Hell yea!
