    I'm always looking for old classic semi trucks to save and restore. I'm also always looking for trucks or parts Detroit Diesel related. If you have one that needs to be saved or you know of one you can drop me an email at the following address: Ol2Stroker@gmail.com
    Be sure to check out our website ol2stroker.com for truck parts and merch!

    Reminds me of many moons ago, my grand dad was running a CAT 1693 with a 5 speed main and 4 speed aux in a 1959 Autocar. That was a real truck. No power steering, no AC, no HIFI. It did have the perfect music to listen to though, straight pipes !

      The Autocar had a 250 in it when he bought the Autocar. Later he bought the 1693 from Yellow Freight that was testing it on the New York thru way and PA I-80. They didn't like the extra weight of the engine. I believe that the 1693 was installed around 1968 or 1969. @@jamesanderson5243

      Don't forget Ford's irritating noise when door is open, and the backup beepers on construction equipment.
      Those I deal with daily, and never fails be doing a pick with a crane blind.
      Trying to talk with operator in his rig, and then someone not involved, but using whatever puts it in reverse, and then just sits there.
      Forget about trying to communicate with anyone until Dipsh!t decides to go away.

    Mmmm, Saturday morning, got my coffee and watching a new video from Wayne. Life is good.
    Corroded wiring and switches are just not good for allowing those mysterious electrons to get from point A to point B. Wiring on anything is never easy, at least for me, even harder when someone else has previously "fixed" something.
    Love the upset Greta cutaways! LOL!!!!!!
