Mike finish Smokey and get it show ready! You still have to figure out what your doing with Stubby( stretch) ? You have Low n Slow to finish up! From that to Kenny! Are you seeing the trend here? Best to button up/ finish the current projects, Then dive into your most time and costly to restore the 359! I know its hard to not bounce from one to the other. But I want to see you make good decisions with your babies! You adopted all of them and I want to see them all saved too!!! But you only have little time and money to do it!! Your Dad is still there to invest you with wisdom & Knowledge! I cant make you drink but I refuse to drown you to do the right thing!! I love all your projects and your Dad! You have a great channel, that keeps my interest! Plus your one of the few that has space to preserve trucks! Do what you must or think is best I will continue to Watch you be a TRUCK NUT!
You can get a fibreglass roof cap ( like twin sticks did no his ) and you can get most panels , great looking truck needs to be saved and the sleeper put back on it and if you can get a rear newer cut off that would be a massive help , keep up the great work Mike and your dad 😊
Mike, Some projects are more of a marathon rather than a sprint. This is one of those projects. I have been amazed by your persistence on your projects. Slow and steady wins the race. It just takes time and money. The more you have of one, the less it takes of the other. I have learned that on my own 1990 362 project. I enjoy watching you and your Dad. Keep the videos coming.
I love the Old 359 it needs to be fixed up I think that they make a roof cap in fiberglass to replace the metal Cap I would love to see you get it up and going you just don't see them much anymore love the Chanel and love what you do keep up the good work brother
Let'r sit for a while longer..finish Smokey and K2... :)
Honestly, I joined for your love and restoration of cabovers. 😀
Take your time. This thing is a real unit and will be amazing when you're done with it! So classic
First get the runaway problem fixed. Then gut the cab and get the leak fixed. Next go back to Smokey and get it running and driving. Go back to the 359 and get the diff problem sorted after that get K2 running and driving. All you'll have left is the fun part of restoring trucks and they'll be easy to get in and out of your garage without using Dad's backhoe.
Amen to that. Smokey is getting close to starting on the engine
Mike I think u need to read this A diesel runaway has a few different causes. Oil in the intake is the most common issue, while fuel-contaminated air and a stuck accelerator pedal are less frequent causes. Older diesel engines with manual fuel pumps have their own problem where the pump fails and supply the engine with endless fuel, causing runaway.
Take your time and enjoy it.
Mike. Take as long as you need.
I am, and I’m sure others agree, it’s nice to see old trucks get back on the road. I know not everyone has an open cheque book, so take your time. Keep what you have, and go at a steady pace 👍
It will make a nice Project to restore
Good morning Mike. Mike if you read this facts is yes it's a ton of work, take it one bite at a time, you have overhauled one engine you can do this one, pull the axles out of K2 if they fit, gut the cab and stand by to do some serious restoration work but how many restored 359's do ya see motoring around and if you put a sleeper on it..........................😁
Morning 🌄
One truck at a time 😊
The 359 is gonna be great!! At first I thought you were crazy, but now I see!!
Great video Mike glad you were doing a review of your 359. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mike.
You can get it going, a good cleaning will inspire you, then go at the engine, maybe try and have a retired mechanic help a little, I just bought a T800 that's been sitting 15 years, scrap money, 3406E, 18 speed, 46's, full lockers, going to be fun.
New frame and frame in frame. You know how to get the engine police at the engine. Where you're not gonna get it done mike my immaculate brand new
359 would look great with one of those polished stainless steel Mercury sleepers on her!!!!!!!
Hi Mike. The 359 is a nice truck with potential, but is also a major leauge money pit. That truck is going to set you back by ALOT!!!! I would think carefully about the whole project before deciding to get too deep into it!...just sayin. Whatever you decide...good luck!!
Bonjour Mike , un gros challenge à relever !
Like you said Mike, the truck is old enough that it needs a load of work, replacement parts if any, it's going to take almost as long as it took to get "Duke Kaboom" back on the road.
You can do it Mike
Mike that is a cool 359. That is a fuel water Seperator, it has a metal mesh screen inside that is reusable. I really like your videos.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Take the motor out of the 359 and rebuild it and install in one of the cab overs. 359 is a gonner
A Mike, the truck nut.I'm a truck nut 2, please.We need more videos.I know you're Busy.
I hope you do something good with That 359 love to see it on the road again, but we need more chat. Thank you. Thank you. Love you chanal, and I love all your jokes. Tell dad we said hi from Detroit, Michigan.Take care god bless and hope to see more videos
You have more projects than lifetimes lol or a bank account big enough to pay for it all LOL. Logging trucks around here had dayton wheels its the old school look, the 70s vintage trucks had them.
Was by Peterbilt twice ,had just got to Prince George and was running late ,and when left Tuesday you weren’t there or yet
Bugger, I'm usually rolling in about 830ish
Just wondering Mike if you could find parts in salvage yards ? Looks like it will be an interesting project!!
I think the 359 has a spot i the back, next to Smokey.
Best wishes all, from Northern Manitoba.
I think I would leave it for now and concentrate on the other projects. It would be a money pit no matter what you do with it.
The 359 and K2 would be a good looking pair at the truck shows
That one and kenny 2 will suck up much needed money for Stubby, Smokey, Low n Slow and Kenny
My opinion is I'm sure you could have found a nicer 359 to restore for a little more money that's a money pit!!
Dayton's are so cool, they look like torq thrusts for semi trucks, I really wish more people would keep them, better still l wish one of the wheel companies would make an aluminium version for the modern day
Honestly Mike, you should cut your losses, take the good parts off of that truck, find a better 359, take the engine and transmission out, rebuild for K2.
Get 359 running Mike
Honestly I would use this as a parts truck and just buy another 359 that is in a lot better shape but still needs some work.
Hi Mike, with as much work as the 359 needs, makes me wonder if you’ll need to sell one of your running project trucks to afford all the 359 will
need to get it going. Looking forward to seeing it running. 👍
Well the good part is I have lots of engine parts for it
Mike, at least clean out the cab for now and take inventory of what you've got, issues etc. Like you said, she's over 45 years old. It, like K2 will take time. Seal them up for the winters etc. Till you get to them. With your dads help, you two can do it! Btw, Don't forget to finish the interior of the cab on low&slow and replace the rear deck, someday. And take low&slow and Kenny out for a "rip", from time to time. Keep on Truckin Mike
Hi Mike the 359 needs a lot of work just use it for parts
Yes a lot of work to get the 359 going but it could be really cool
Keep it and rebuild it with your dad
Just do a cutt off to sort most of the rear end issues.
It was good to know what you paid for it as something like that way down here would be worth way more than that as in 4 figures
Mike, if you are not familiar with Bubbles 8V92, give him a thorough check out. As for the crocodile tears and hand wringing over an almost complete 359 for $500… Get real. That’s what Canadian winters are for. And if you get right to work now, you will have all the extra help from the sand fleas and mosquitoes. All your trucks start out as junkers. Any truck I get starts out as a junker. That’s just the nature of the business. Get to work. Take care. And remember, we’re having fun! 0:02
Boa noite Mike esse caminhão muito ótimo amigo
You have to put the truck in the garage ❤
Park the 359 or k2 up in the back of the shed in front of stubby and let your dad play with one of them he done a great job on stubby and it keeps his mind active and he is a healthier life lot older people go down hill will not much to do
Whats your average truck restore per decade Mike? 🤔 lol.
Still a lovely truck, love the instruments and layout
I think it just needs to go down to the bones, and put it back together. Finish the other projects, then both you and your dad can both put your energy into it.
It's gonna be a money pit, but you're 10k ahead of what the average guy pays for a basket case 359.
I think leaving the cab as is ie. Patina will make it a quicker project 🤔
@mikethetrucknut I think that's a good idea if the cab isn't too far gone. I guess I am assuming it's past that point. I guess you just have to bring it in, clean it up to see.
Remember how rough Duke was when you started with Duke.... You'll figure out Old Blue,Smokey and the rest....
Good thing is it's a day cab lot less work lol
Do a ground up resto on the 359
😎👍
Need to find another parts truck that’ has a cab that’s in better condition.
I will say, put the engine out and rebuild from te start! 🎉 like your videos so long now! I hope you finished low and slow interior first. Hey deserves it. It’s a fine truck.
K2,K2,K2 please.🙂
No front brakes???!?
Nope she's old school
K2’s axle’s would be a cheap fix if they fit.
Have you heard on how duke is doing
No I haven't
I would fix the 359
Mike, I noticed as you were struggling to open the hood, the spring is either off or broken on the left side. Might want to address that before you throw your back out or pull a nut trying to yank that thing open, bud. Can’t get work done if you’re laid up….as for the 359? There’s some good bones there for sure…..it’s just a matter of how far you want to dive into this.
Nothing you can't deal with.
i'd put K2 on that frame and scrap that cab
Hey Mike maybe you and ol' Twinsticks can do a collaboration with the 359.
That would be fun, I like Mark.
Shes about to far gone
I was all keen for you to do this truck, but this one is too much work. Keep it for a parts truck and put your time and money into a better truck to start with.
I love it❤
Motor and tyranny for k2
Personally I think you bit a little more then you can chew on this one, but time will tell
A promise is a promise but I would junk it. Sorry…
ratt rodd wake up man that cab is junk
Yeah, it's bad, but after sitting for so long, it's not going to exactly be good. Definitely get it running before doing anything else. Get the mechanical stuff done first because there is no reason to be putting lipstick on a pig.
Most of the video are only talking not working 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The next two are all work I promise
GEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS get Smokey done already !!! At the rate your going now it will be 3 years by the time Smokey is done if then ! Its kinda obvious by your lack of video's that working on the trucks isnt fitting into your schedule anymore !
I have a smokey video coming Monday 😁
What to do with K2? simply put “Fix K2” there are a few trucks that you should not sell or part with on this channel Kenny, Low and slow and last but not least K2 and by extension of your father Stubby everything else can be up for sale “this is my opinion not telling you what to do” but there are people like myself that has been waiting to see you fix up k2 only to see you buy three more trucks and start fixing two of them completing one and nearing completion of the other before K2,Mike the longest journey starts with the first step Fix K2

Not trying to be a negative nancy but this is way beyond reasonable fix and come out money anywhere close to the amount going in to a money pit. I really has been off of the road tooooooo long. If you think its uncomfortable to put on a wet boot, that has water where water never should ever get. It translates to nothing but money and more money. Someone out there is doing this rig and needs those parts to make another much better rig get going.. And I do feel bad for a poor man trying on something like this. Since Tim Gentry shund you at the truck show, I quit watching him.... bad blood and all click bait headings to get money for a kind of welfare, feel sorry for me thing in my mind. Yes the trucking industry is in horrible shape and will not recover till our governments get their hands out of our pockets. We just can't keep passing the buck anymore. Times are tuff out there and that trickles down to everyone sooner or later.
