With a engine refresh those would be great additions to the towing fleet
Stepps moves alot of stuff here in Florida. They have put some miles on them. Good classics to refurb. Id rather refurb than run the junks today that are new
Yes, I used to see them all over the Tampa area.
Every time you unload something from that trailer, I'm yelling "Just put a 2×6 in front of the wheels to lift it up enough to not rub." 😄 Pretty cool rigs.👍
Both those trucks have lots of potential. Too good to part out.IMHO. Just a matter of money.
My thoughts exactly
I'd love to see these bad units rebuilt or fixed up and put back to work. They r some bad ass rigs
Good ole Stepps Towing. Always an icon here in Florida
Pre emissions trucks. Should be market for them. Freshened up they would run reliability for a long time
Don't sell them make a fleet of them
Got a job 5 weeks ago working at a heavy equipment/ big rig repair shop after doing 2 years as a PM guy. Love working on these old trucks. Well love/hate for sure. lol.
Rock n roll on it cranking on the first try! Keep them both, Bruce.
I know Stepps Towing got their use out of those things I've always had good luck using stepps Towing
That one with the 6nz sound so good, my goodness with mufflers on it🤩🤩
Probably one of the easiest "Will They Start?" ever👍 Glad you had the keys for those 2 brutes😜
I would do an in frame on both trucks and put them to work. Especially the second one with the double frame. It would be a heavy haul truck.
Stepp's always had good equipment, you definitely have some winners.
Keep up the great work Bruce and you should restore one of those trucks
That truck looks very similar to the one my cousin had when I was young. Sounds like it too! His had to have been an older model it was before 2001.
Good ol Stepp’s towing 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I love watching your videos they always are entertaining and I just love all your content you make and since I was a kid, I always liked semi trucks so I really love your content. I hope you have a nice day.❤😂
You should keep the trucks.I say that it is a win to have a running truck
They are way too good to part out
The wide span on the drive axles give you more weight, you can have on them
keep them Bruce don’t sell or get rid of them
Freshen up the paint and put some floaters on the front and you got yourself a pretty dam good haul truck!
The 2nd one is what we call a Michigan special. High horsepower, heavy suspension, big gear boxes. Roll on big wheels
Two nice old Peterbilts
Nice 👍
Don’t part em out keep em alive!! Fcr towing com on back
Just found this channel, another Tennessean into semi’s? Subscribed! Much love from Smyrna.
Thi k they call that a Canadian spread on that one truck
That axle spacing is called a Canadian Spread and it allows more weight in Canada. Maybe they were originally Canadian Trucks. Bill
Have a great week ahead
I love the smell of diesel in the morning 👍
W video Bruce love the content when I'm like on a business trip
keep the clips coming
Love Hblackfitz shop in the background
Saludos y bendiciones para usted y su familia, muy buen contenido, aunque casi no entiendo el idioma ( My English level is very low ). I love the trucks.
You need to talk to Tim about the one that is made for heavy haul and he can extend it and put the thrid axle under it .
The trucks 🚛 are nice Bruce thank they are worth the avestment for your company..?😊😊
Those two Peterbilt conventionals deserve more life than to be scrapped.
Stepp's Towing is notorious for taking good care of there equipment that being said i would invest in getting these up to snuff and selling as a whole truck.
Notorious really
@@rodneyjacob1924 Really.
Saw them for sale today brother!🤘
If you’re ever in NW Arkansas and need a spot to shutdown, hollar at us!
Lol that load height stick they could've used for that day on I 75 in marion County when their driver hit the overpass
I like the colours on those trucks!
Nice truck
You should do a will it run on the green xmaxx lol i saw it hiding
That's the same kind of height stick I use as a car hauler. Good piece of equipment.
13:24 that downshift sounded kind of cool for a diesel truck engine ngl.
That was a awesome video you guys are doing a awesome job 👍
You should build it, and do a another giveaway
You should turn it around and load the wrecked truck on the trailer backwards makes unloading it easier
Awesome video
@fsctrucking
you could buy one of these to put a driver in. CAT, 18 speed 46000 rears👍
"It fired right up" Dude.....it's a Caterpillar, thats what they do!
THAT SECOND TRUCK HAD A PUSH AXLE I BELIEVE
A sleeper on that thing was huge❤🇺🇸👌🔥 well thank you for sharing Bruce hope you and the boys and the family all have a really good day tomorrow ok later put a motor in it for me?😮
Bruce please start to work on your broken trucks as I enjoy you repairing them
IVE WATCHED THESE TRUCKS WORK DAILY HERE IN TAMPA. STEPPS ALWAYS TOOK PRIDE IN THERE TRUCKS. TAMPA WAS THE MAIN OWNERS LOCATION.
That Big Cat power
It looks awesome there at your shop’s location. Is it like in the middle of nowhere ?
Hey Bruce a nother great video on your channel u should keep one to haul your 5th wheel camper with keep up the great work bud on your channel
Perfect refurb projects
Truck 3 sounds good as well.😊
Having 38 1986 Classic Peterbilt 359's in my fleet has me wife a Filing cabinet of over 400 drivers that want to Drive for me.
Ol Tim needs the frame for his cabover that he has to build
I USED TO SEE THOSE TRUCKS ALOT IN JACKSONVILLE, THEY DID ALOT OF OVER SIZED LOADS
Truck one sounds real nice.
I just know that 2nd has a twelve seven in it.😎
Cool buy Bruce it is nice to see some one buy and put old to work I have a gmc 3500 van with 700th on it plan on getting 100th out it older trucks look better anyway better iron cool deal !!
& weld those batteries 🔋
What's the point of scrapping the 2 Petes when they work perfectly. They look pretty good!
You could sale them both to Tim Gentry Peterbilts you got from Florida
If you decide to part one out im needing a hood front sorings and a few other parts to change a set back axle 377 to a short hood 378 or 379
Can you feel the floor vibrate when you move the overhead Crain? I used to haul coils and you would feel the floor, but the Crain was bigger because the coils would weigh 15,000-30,000. The other building had coils weighing as much as 50,000
Surprised timmy Gentry not interested in the 2 peterbilts
I would keep them and freshen them up. If you wanted to sell them, give Tim a call. The heavy hauling he is getting into would be a nice addition.
Keep it and use it for the towing business
Oh it runs! Let’s rev the absolute piss out of it as soon as it starts up. 🤔🤷🏼♂️
never broke an engine from revving a engine cold thats a myth
@@mindedchaos you’re kidding right?
As long as you don’t rev it up too high immediately after start up , but it’s actually better for the engine because it gets the oil pressure up and delivers it to all the vital parts , that’s why the engine manufactures recommend as little idle time as possible , when idling at 800 plus rpm’s it supplies the engine with good oil pressure
You should tell sleeperdude on his channel if that guy have cars and trucks there he buys a lot of cars n trucks SUVs and vans and RVs
I’d put a detachable wrecking unit on the one with the double frame and use it
Give one the blade your next door neighbor
if you do end up parting them out, i’d be interested in one of those 6nz’s
Please find a rigging class that you can attend, you have some very nice equipment now and I’d like to see you be able to make the most of it
Those came from 92 by the hard rock they take care of that fleet pretty well it looks like
When are you going to see the new When are you gonna go see the Scania Volvo sunrise?I've seen on your UA-cam short.When are you gonna post that video
Great video thanks for sharing
Hi Bruce sorry Bruce you need to sale these awesome trucks for the business
Fix and refresh then sell for a profit can use one for your new drag truck
I know what you're thinking. Bruce you're gonna be getting another summer truck or whatever. Keep one of them. Cause I'm gonna erase it out. Look, and I know that. Look for Everybody. I get that walk through my eyes sometimes. Twoo and best thing to do is just keep one truck. It wouldn't attract park the road part. The other truck can keep one cause. I know you said in the past. You wanna have an old 379?But I don't remember if you wanted a lawn hood or a short hood
Rtf you saying dude?
Good trucks, Don't scrap them.
A little toasty on that rearend
Talk with the Edison motors guys and do a diesel/electric retrofit on one of these rigs!
WHY??
Bruce im surprised you didn't have Timmy Gentry jump on nose peterbilts
You truckin legends taught me pretty much all i know about trucks, oh and those pakistani guys that can build a chassis lol ty all! ☮️♥️🤠😁👍🤘🤩
You won't believe this, winter is back in finland, all white just when everything was starting to come back to life aka spring.
Hey Bruce them two Peterbilt's that you just bought I would take them too a Peterbilt company too look at them engines too get them fully working I know that you want too start up a towing business with other people working for you I would add them two Peterbilt's too your fleet so other people can go out and bring back a load off trucks.
14:52 Why don't you tell Tim Gentry you'll be amazed how much shit that he's willing to buy he would honestly buy that truck for heavy haul Believe it or not
Super cool video 👍🥰🇨🇿😉
I want one so bad
If these trucks are in good running shape, I don't understand why they were junked. Just fix them up and sell them. I'm sure someone can get some good use out of them.
