Straight-piped NA diesels always sound so good. It's really something, what these old rigs managed to accomplish with so little actual horsepower. The magic of gearing and just going really damn slow.
they all wern,t slow it might be advertised as a 220 i.ll bet it has been turnedup, hell we all did back in the day that was just how it was. retired old school.
DancerOfClouds..... Clessie Cummins designed the idea for what became the "Jake Brake", which was then sold to Jacobs Manufacturing, who them perfected it, which is why they first showed up on Cummins Engines..... but that wasn't until 1961, on the NH Series Cummins, followed very shortly thereafter, with a production unit for the Series 71 Detroit Diesel. The idea came to Clessie, in his retirement years from his company, in 1957... after nearly being killed, missing a freight train caboose by literally.. mere inches, on a steep down-grade railroad crossing coming off the Cajon Pass, down to San Bernadino during his record run from NY. to LA. in 1931. The idea of converting the engine into a part time "brake" (compressor), was first developed in 1905, by the Rover Co. in England, using a special 3rd camshaft.... won't bother with all the details, too much to explain here. Anyway, they weren't perfected to the pint of at least being useful and marketed, until 1961.
Beautiful sounds , And Power Just ummm .. I learned on 2 Stick MACK Off road , I must say .Props too the Drivers that could play that piano going down a mountain or threw the city .. yeah 👍 take care
I'm so thankful for my old cabovers and w900s the new generation of truckers have no idea. God blessed me with a great collection I hope I can pass it on to someone who will appreciate it when I leave the world
Love it. I started out driving them old cabovers. Brings back lots of memories. Back then we had them 262’s and 335’s with 4x4’s and 5x4’s. 60 and 62 model Pete cabovers and 1 old Kdub. Them were the days. 👍
As a teenager i was around the Cummins engine a lot ! The 220 , 250 , and 335 ! One driver i went on trips with had cab over Diamond T with a 335 Cummins and i believe a 10 speed road ranger transmission ! I love that truck !
Oh shoot that's gotta be the coolest footage on UA-cam. I already loved this truck but now it's pulling my favorite kind of trailer too! Can't describe the feeling I get listening to the 220 Cummins and looking at the back of trailer with the 10.00 20s.
My uncles 56 pete with his 275 horse iron lung sounds like that. In California you have to have a historical plate on your rig to run them.dont get caught using them for work. Big fine .
I started out on a 65 Pete narrow nose with a NHRC 275. I was told it was a 220 with a supercharger. There was also a 300hp iron lung motor. At 18yrs old in 1982, these trucks and motors were still out there.
My friends dad was a bull hauler back in the 50s and 60s and he has pics of his truck on his walls it was just like that and the trailer was also very similar but almost entirely made of wood.
That must be a CARB compliant 220. The 220 I drove rolled coal all the time. I drove a Freightliner with a 220 it took me an hour to go 13 miles one day and I never stopped. I also had to downshift going down hill in a headwind one day. But it never broke down.
Used to crank the bedroom window wide open at night so I could lay in bed and listen to the trucks starting from a stop on old Business Route 66 in Albuquerque. ICX, DC, Navajo, TransCon, Campbells 66 Trucking, Peyton's Meat Packing, Safeway, APEX are a few that come to mind with barking straight piped Cummins. Thanks for the music
That take me back to a better time what I was kid, my dad drove '59 Brockway conventional with a 220 straight pipe ! Folks in the small towns in Ohio didn't like him much !
That's a great throw back. Cool to still see around. I've been driving for 25 years and I'm still sick of hearing young idiots jake braking straight piped trucks in the middle of the night on level highways near my house. You don't need noise for power anymore.
As long as there's a demand for parts, be it mechanical or plastic, there will be modern trucks rolling in 50 years... maybe 😂. There's still a lot of T600s, Century and Classic freightliners rolling from the late 80s and 90s, and they have a lot of plastic in them. There's also a pretty good aftermarket supply for them, Vovo not so much, 😂
No the computer junk on new rigs will fail and be too expensive to fix so they will end up like cars do, in the junkyard over that. There are stories on here on the enormous costs when the tech components fail.
Drove a 1963 c/o white freightliner. NH 250 5x3,& 2. 2 loads a day Phx to Bagdad. 1978, was 18 and thought I was a super trucker (45 $ a load, big money)
This old lron built America. The new trucks just haul freight. My uncles had 1946 iron lung Cummings straight stack and then 1956 iron lung Cummings. They were peterbuilt trucks. I learned how to drive the twin sticks 5x4. 4x4 . These old trucks had no front brakes. When empty solo in the rain they were hard to stop at first.all the weight was up front and none in the rear. They were aluminum frame because they were 3 axles. The 2 axles trucks were steel frame .that was what I saw back in the day . They had a little horse power and OK torque. In those days you really had to be a real truck driver. Now you can get automatic transmission on medium duty trucks. And over the road trucks you can get manual or automated transmission. Automated transmission just put the transmission lever in drive and the computer will disengage and engage the clutch and also shift the manual transmission with servo and sensors. The really old trucks in the 40s and 50 were alot of work and a lot more fun than putting a lever in gear. But the newer trucks are much cleaner in exhaust and quite in the cab and the safety went through the roof. Happy holidays to everyone Denis.
Love these trucks man! Can we get some long videos of these trucks doing anything? Just sitting and running with somebody doing a walk around telling the details on the truck.... motor, trans, one stick two stick... armstrong steering, power steering... whatever... it's all interesting with these beauts :-) Subscribed now and waiting ;-)
I love hearing the pneumatic starters on the old trucks and watching people s reaction to the unfamiliar noise! Seen people near soil themselves ... easily entertained.
Very cool! What are the specs on that trailer? Very rare to see one that old that isn’t rusted out. Love to see machines like that on the road! I have a couple videos of my old Cummins working too!
All the youngins in the comments lamenting the passing of old iron, but 99% wouldn't last an east coast to west coast trip in one. No AC, mediocre heat, no power steering, no easy pedal clutch, 😂. Y'all would quit trucking if you had to drive a bull nose, hell most drivers are too obese to climb up into a cabover, lmfao
The youngins would wonder what that other stick was for. Loved the old technology, most of the new drivers want an automatic, they would have a hard time getting out of town, never mind across the country. Cheers
I can see this is up by Lynden, but not sure exactly where. Trailer looks like one that Peasley's had over on their ranch at Lake Roosevelt back in the 70s.

Main and auxiliary transmissions and knowing how to use them
Haha I drive a new(er) (2004) Kenworth with a Cummins. It doesn't feel much faster loaded.
they all wern,t slow it might be advertised as a 220 i.ll bet it has been turnedup, hell we all did back in the day that was just how it was. retired old school.
My father was a truck driver. This is the music of my childhood. I really mis my dad.
Ah, those were the days when Trucks sounded like Trucks. Those Engine brakes were awesome too.
That sound is MUSIC TOO MY EARS
Trucks today don't sound like trucks?
Trucks still Sound the same
not real sure but i don,t think they made a jake for the 220 250 or 335 first one i seen was on a 350

Man the classics are the best. Lol I probably just made some guys feel old
Grew up on a mountain highway in the sixties. Went to sleep with this sound from so many of the lumber, chip, and log trucks running by.
Drove those back in the day...the last one was a 1953.
What a wonderful sound coming out of those pipes!
I'm one year older and a retired truck driver. I've never seen that body style before. That gives a new meaning to the description "beautiful truck"!
Vintage badass sweet looking classic truck!!!
Thank you very much for the reply Kenworth trucks will always be classic high class big rigs no matter what!!! Peace out thanks once again Juanito!!!
Its always awesome to see some of the older trucks out there still looking good 👍
Oh how sweet the sound! That’s the days ya had to know how to drive a truck, not just ride in it.
well put pardner..!
Lol
Amen!
Beautiful sounds , And Power Just ummm .. I learned on 2 Stick MACK Off road , I must say .Props too the Drivers that could play that piano going down a mountain or threw the city .. yeah 👍 take care
Same here in UK our Lorrie's ERF foden scammel
I'm so thankful for my old cabovers and w900s the new generation of truckers have no idea. God blessed me with a great collection I hope I can pass it on to someone who will appreciate it when I leave the world
Wow AMAZING bet she's got a 5/4 Spicer as well. Thanks for sharing this with us appreciate it 👍🏻
13speed
Gorgeous sound! Watching the video over and over again! This is the best music I wanna hear all daylong!
Nothing sounds better than a 220 Cummins, drop end manifold and straight pipe
The Peterbilt at the end of the video was just staring in awe and admiration.
Had an old International with a C160 cummins that I turbo charged to 180 when I first started in trucks, sounded very much like that
Love it. I started out driving them old cabovers. Brings back lots of memories. Back then we had them 262’s and 335’s with 4x4’s and 5x4’s. 60 and 62 model Pete cabovers and 1 old Kdub. Them were the days. 👍
yes i had a 1965 KW cab over 335 plus god knows how much with a two stick 4by 4 trans.good old truck
220 what a great sounding Motor!!!!!😀👌

Very distinct sound and beautiful it is

Nice catch! I used to see those when I was a boy.
Sounds awesome! That's music for a motorhead. Thanks for the post.

That's hilarious but I appreciate the story nonetheless.
@@andrewking4885 Maybe I was hauling at 105,000 lbs. And this is all hills where I live. That 220 never missed a beat it just kept on pulling.

I remember those companies. I started driving trucks in 1978 which was before deregulation put most of them out of business.
Love that sound old school power
This sound is heaven 😭
That take me back to a better time what I was kid, my dad drove '59 Brockway conventional with a 220 straight pipe ! Folks in the small towns in Ohio didn't like him much !
I see one of these drive down 53 when I was a kid only that one was a day cab and it has a Detroit diesel in it and it was green
That's the way a truck should sound!
Sure sounds good. Love the ol 220.
Who needs in cab sound system when you have that entertainment.
Real armstrong steering as well!😊
That pete sitting there just watching gramps go to work
Now That's a classic American muscle what else can I say?
She sounds beautiful
Wow is this rig actually still working as a hauler? Last time I saw one as such was in the 1970s. It is so cool !!!!!!
The sound of happiness 💪💪💪💪🏴
Getting it done old school.
Sweet gearchanging - no racing through the gears like Jamaicans jammin and a banging just a gentle snick in.
That's the sound before the government got involved with diesel equipment.
Exactly!
Should we go back and remove catalytic converters from gasoline cars too? Because the gOvErMeNt MeSsEd WiTh OuR cArS?
@@stover77they ran a lot better without them so……
Sounds like my ass after eating Taco Bell. I forget, who built most trucking roads in America?
Old skool truckin good👍😎🇦🇺

I live outside a small town and they do it here too when the reach our speed zone.
Doesnt get any more classic than that, wonder how many new trucks will be around in 60+ years. Not many I think
None... plastic breaks and gets brittle 🤣
As long as there's a demand for parts, be it mechanical or plastic, there will be modern trucks rolling in 50 years... maybe 😂. There's still a lot of T600s, Century and Classic freightliners rolling from the late 80s and 90s, and they have a lot of plastic in them.

@@TheRoadhammer379 Yes. The ones from the 80s and 90s were still largely mechanical so they'll be around for awhile.
I've seen 220 Cummins with that manifold push the flame out of the stack with nothing more than a change of the button
When Cummins made a halfway good engine!!
Sweet Such A Classic Beauty ❤️
a great sound!
So beautiful
Drove a 1963 c/o white freightliner. NH 250 5x3,& 2. 2 loads a day Phx to Bagdad. 1978, was 18 and thought I was a super trucker (45 $ a load, big money)
Sounds pretty good !!! I like it !!!
Love it
I learn drive in my father 528 bull nose. 290 cummins and 5x4 brownie. Rode like milk crate full of rocks being dragged down road.

Sure is!
Things must've moved soooooooooo slow back in the day.
what a beauty!
Cummins has the best sound.....Change my mind
Good looking old girl still god the moves.
I've worked on 220's and Super 250's. ❤❤❤❤
What a Beauty 😍😍😍😍
Love it 🙏
Oh man my grandfather droves trucks like that. That thing is a far cry from the trucks I've drove the past 23 year's😑
Looks like a robot bucking bull hauler. Old school.
Awesome!
I could see that pulling my camper.
niiice
Almost seventy years on the road. Not many vehicles that will do that anymore.

I'd drive it across country in a second!
I might only be 27 but my grandad raised me on stuff like this. I think I’d be fine
I bet that truck is more rare than a Super Bee.
Looks like just outside Lynden WA.
COOL!
I can see this is up by Lynden, but not sure exactly where. Trailer looks like one that Peasley's had over on their ranch at Lake Roosevelt back in the 70s.
Trailer came out of Tri cities Washington a couple years ago
@@jdm65kw89 cool. Do you know who’s it was back in the day?
That’s what I’m talking about
Pretty Cool 😎
sweet 😎👊🏻👍🏻
That truck is causing more global warming every second it runs. Greta Thornburg is crying in her sleep. Truck is awesome. Great video.
All that Dam noise and smoke and the trl empty glad those days over!!!
# 6 did all the talking!
Sounds like a Detroit and a Cummins if they had a baby
Awesome.
They might not be that powerful...or efficient...or fast... But damn did they sound good.
Good old 🐎 horse
