A buddy of mine has his own little excavating/dirt work business and has one of those old ferds in dump truck form. He keeps it beautiful, had it for decades, checks the fluids every morning, regular maintenance……and then she spun a bearing on him 🤣 dirty devil!
Turning into Ol2Stroker (Diesel ) Creek … Don’t care what you drag home I’ll just sit here and watch the show !
Thx for bringing us along.
WAKE YOU BOYS!
There's a new ol2stroker video.
It's time to watch Wayne struggle while working on junk.
With the majority of us to far away to come give a hand.
A once over of the wrecker would be great. That thing is awesome
Do a search for Holmes 650/750 tow truck/wrecker. I have driven trucks with Holmes 650 (20Ton) wrecker on them and Holmes 750 (25 Ton) wrecker on them and they are awesome as well as being as tough as woodpecker lips.
"How dare you" .... always makes me smile! Fk Grta! Awesome video!
"Had to have it."
As I'm sitting here thinking to myself, " Wayne, what have you gotten yourself into this time." 😅
@Ol2Stroker oh, but of course.
I get a kick out of the stuff you get.
I've been asked before, what are you going to do with that or do you really need that or my favorite, what are you looking to by now.
My favorite answer to the last one is, " I don't know till I see it." Doing the marketplace scroll.
I have my far share of junk. My stuff is the size of hot wheels car compared to you having Tonka trucks. Lol
Looks like you're pretreating for mosquitos!!!! Thanks Wayne!!!
You know your from NY when you flex those Tracy Road Equipment Mudflaps 😂
In my opinion those Ford LTL 9000 were a good-looking truck and the tow truck pulling it in there don't look bad either
Love how you all just move these trucks all around like it's no big deal - and I realize that it isn't, for real truck fans.
That tow rig kicks ass, and that's a damn fine looking LN!!!!
How the bell are you Wayno
It’s another beautiful day here in Australia , so here’s to looking at you from the upside down land 😂
Sometimes watching Jimmy run around there it seems as if he's watching you shaking his head and thinking WTF is he doing. Good show even without missing footage. Thanks.
Bought an 85 LTL9000 in the same color as that one last summer. Has a 3406B and a horseshoe 9 speed
How bout that sick ass white western star tow truck just like the maximum overdrive tractor.❤
Not gonna lie, that white western star is the best thing in your yard. Need more videos of that rig c’mon
Love the LTLs. I have two of them...one with Neway suspension
Old cummins tend to smoke until worked some. You can run a short wire jumper from the starter to the shut off selenoid to bypass the finicky ignition switch.
Ole wrecker needs a lil buffer screw action!! That rolling idle makes me crazyyy
Unburdened by genius… fantastic quote …
That’s a nice truck. But I am more interested in that sweet ol’ wrecker. Nice, clean old truck with a Holmes 750. What’s not to like
Wow you have Detroit caterpillar and Cummins all capable of smoke that makes you waneo a equal opportunity offender great job .carry on
You have made me laugh so much 😅 you definitely have a new subscription user in Scotland 🏴...you are one funny dude in all the right ways. Keep up the amazing content my friend...the editing is on point !!
I love the ford 9000 ltl, i wish you could bring it back to its glory
This is my childhood hands down favorite Ford AMERICAN BUMPER in Ionia MI. Had a fleet of six white l9000 like this they would drive through my little burg on their way north to retrieve stampings from next town north in the morning while I would wait for the bus. Usually see one or two a day for a while and one special day all 6 cruised by! I was in hog heaven.. '90 or '91
* Big Boys with their Big Toys ! Hey I just heard a great Aussie term for puttin' a rod through the block it's " THEN SHE THREW A LEG OUTTA BED ! " 🤭👍 Great vid guys ! 👊😎👍
Hello Wayne! I sold furniture door to door until 2005ish! We were the few that went long driveways. Always made customers happy. Never gipped anyone. Surprised I didn't meet you!
Nothing better than that neway suspension...just that is a find ....Beautiful western star ..every man should own one who plays with this stuff
I'm with you, the LTL's just have a good look, always been a favorite of mine.
Like others have said, that White Western Star tow truck is just mint. Loved to see that.
Those are some of the best shifting old trucks ever made 🤘
I have absolutely no use for an LTL but man do I want one to just cruise around in. They're just a stout looking rig.
Thank you Wayne. I sure do love the old Fords. Along with many others.
I was in Saratoga springs this weekend, woulda stopped in had I known how close I was.
Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻 🇦🇺
Brilliant Wayne just love watching your escapades, keep them coming man
I love them L9000’s. Badass. Good find man
Smokey and The Bandit springs to mind in your cool videos 😎
Nice job wayne you saveing the old iron is awsome nice wrecker too
I still believe in those door-to-door sales. After seeing our on-line b.s./delivery. Imagine a salesman selling Walmart products. Least we can hack and see what we're buying. . Offer a Cold Glass of lemonade/w x-lax/Castor oil. 😂
Sweet find!! Love those LTL's
we always liked the gauge pack on those 9000s. switch panal as well,
Great video Wayne another one for the collection. At least it runs and the cab is in way better shape than the Race truck. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.
Wayne a few observations first I hope that was a package deal with the sweet WS wrecker. And Cummins is new to the channel! Are you feeling ok? lol.
I've got one of them sitting right here in my garage. It's been a great truck. I think I've had it 16 years. 270k miles on it. Hey that Western Star with the Holmes 750 on it and the Detroit power. That looks like the perfect truck for you. Did you?????????
BTW all that white smoke, it seems like it's late. Did someone put a Step Time motor in it?
I dunno what step time is, and I didn't buy the wrecker but it wasn't for lack of tryin!
@@Ol2Stroker step timing control or STC was what they did to the big cam right before they started making the N14. It was some kind of early attempt at emission control. Is the fuel rail pressure increased it retarded the fuel injection timing. Sometimes it screwed up and the timing stayed retarded even at low fuel rail pressures like when your idling. The late timing would make a lot of white smoke at idle
Looks like a donor for the race truck body always like your the videos Wayne !!
LTL's were the best looking Ford for sure but that White Western Star was awesome! Would love to see a walk around of that one.
Omg,a died in the wool Detroit man has a 3 headed monster ,good luck buddy😂❤
Those old Ford L series trucks are just damn good old fashioned working machines!
It’s a ford and well It’s a ford. Put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig
That wrecker looked bad ass!!
When the Cummins firs started, it was hamering like it had a broken crank....................and I thought it needed Dave Crump's magic . Then it smoothed out . And what engine is in the Star car ?
Point being. We love our trucks and truck-life.
I love ltls. Grew up with em
Good Job...
Worked on one with an n14 in it a couple weeks ago. Such a goofy design with how they tilt the engines in these trucks
Dont you just love them cummins cold start low compression smoke,welcome to flavor country!
Yes indeed white smoke classic no fuel pressure issue
Hello Wayne, you did something that UA-cam started to "hide" your videos for me. Before I had bunch of your videos on the home feed. Now I have to click the notification button to see your videos.
I still watch your videos and greetings from Germany.
@@Ol2Stroker Doesn't what, I still enjoy to watch your videos with my friend.
Hellow buddy good luck
A good stroy😊
That wrecker is pretty bada** kind of reminds me of the wrecker from high ballin if you remember that movie with jerry reed & peter fonda
I love the FORD LTL design, too, because it looks like it has plenty of room in the engine bay to fit a Scania V8 with a supercharger on it and turbochargers. If I had the spaceand a ton of greenbacks, I'd be makin' a custom rustbucket ratrod rig out of one. Kinda like a mix between the Peterbilt narrow nose from the movie Duel (1971) and an Aussie/Kiwi roadtrain look. A freakin' American/Swedish Frankenstein truck. Oooh, with a firetruck horn too like the mini COE from Jeepers Creepers. A Wolo Chief if memory serves. Haha.
Ltl’s are badass
At the rate you're collecting trucks, your very own wrecker is looking like a good idea
Back in their day they were a world better than a GMC General
Kinda perfer the old intros over the new.. but thats just me.. love the videos
I think you need to find yourself a nice ol 2 stroke tow truck so you can go get these trucks!
Now im just saying but ford did make some sexy ass rigs way back
So is the plan to transfer the body work to the race truck? Looks like it's good for that and part out the rest.
What constitutes a “big cam” engine. Obviously it is a bigger camshaft, but how much bigger? And how do you know?
When I hear “big cam” I am always reminded of the term “3/4 race cam” on old cars.
Damn that western star wrecker is definitely the star of the show this episode especially with the rotary lights 😮💨🤌🏼 it immediately reminded me of the wrecker from High Ballin
You know air compressor and air hammer will work just fine for that type of mood that brake pad will break free for probably within 5 minutes
Big cam Cummins ran forever
Custom gangster lean door handle 👍🏻 that is custom
Shake Hands with Danger 🤝
at the beginning you lifted out of one set of cut off them do they not fit then?
"And dont forget to tell them large marge sent ya"
Did you buy the Star too if so it’d be a good candidate for one of your 8V92s. Rears act like they’re locked 🔒 up. Junk 😂
At least you could have turned the wipers on 😂😂
Well Ol2Stroker on ya way to catching James Pretty with his 13 trucks keep em coming Wayne always look forward to your vids
A vintage truck being towed by a vintage truck, how awesome is that? Oh, wait, I just called those trucks "vintage" and I'm older than either of those trucks! That is one way cool Western Star.
So, what are we working on today? Not just junk, Ford junk! Ford L-series is a bit strange. It seems Ford designed them to only use V-8 gasoline or diesel engines. To get the highly popular Cummins inline 6 into the L-series, the engine has to be tilted slightly onto its right side. Ford engineering. They were built Ford tough, with steel cabs that rusted out.
Woohoo! A Greta cameo appearance. LOL! Yeah, it smokes... a little.
Yep, shake hands with danger, it's not fun unless danger is involved.
I agree, parts truck, it would take a lot of money and time to make it a road worthy truck, but it has plenty of usable parts.
That Big Cam chugged away nicely once it started! Are you going to drop the oil pan and look at the mains and rods to determine if it needs refreshing?
Is it becoming a mozzie fogger? Or did it just runaway on U? For the record, I actually like the LTL 9000s. I think they look cool done up.
👍🏻🍻
Gypsy load 😂😂😂
for fucks sake, we are gonna do something even if it is wrong, give her the breath of spring
I used to drive a big cam Cummins. Was a gutless, ticky clacky piece of shit. Was a Cummins reman that ran like that since day 1. Always started. I never plugged it in. Was in Alaska. Scary moving heavy stuff with a gutless truck. Lol
Yo Wayne - to your knowledge, could a fella order one of those LTLs new back in the day with say an 8V71, etc?
The next video will be Wayne's wife kicking his ass for buying this stuff.
No Bueno Wayno
Wayno, when are you buying a heavy duty tow truck???
These fords are kinda rare from what ive seen it sucks its in such bad shape
Are the tanks in good shape? And steps if they are In good shape want to sell them
How’s the upper console in that ford I’ve been trying to find that part for a while
Your videos are great love watching them
Thanks! I dunno what you mean by upper console but ill be using most of this stuff for the race truck
It’s the piece in the head liner that holds the radio was just interested if not that’s ok it’s funny that ford is the same color as my ford 9000 logging truck I need a new hood too hard to find good used parts for these trucks thanks keep making great videos
@@user-bc7rv7ut8f this hood will be available, it does need some repair but i think it's fixable. The upper console im hoping to use in the race truck.
Ok thank you for responding I’ll show the video of the truck to my body man and let you thanks
Wayne is that wrecker an old white western star???
@@Ol2Stroker that was one of my favorite trucks back in the day. Is that yours?
My dad let me drive one like that one night when I turned 16 on the interstate 8V92 13spd I was hooked I'm 62 and retired and miss driving alot
Badass! They're hard to find with 92 power
