I am told the entire town that "Spider Mike" was being held in gets destroyed by the convoy. Imagine budgeting for a destruction scene of an entire town, filming it and the full sequence winding up on the cutting room floor. Official story is all the extra footage was thrown out years ago. I keep hoping someone smuggled out a full edit of it and took it home. Stranger things have happened.

Its a Mack "F" model cab. Mack made and sold the F model from late 50"s till the early 80's. Brockway also used the Infamous "R" model cab. Still working at the same Mack Dealer going on 33 years central Fla.

[@jwilkerson852]

I thought it looked like an old Mack

[@georgerenton965]

Mack also supplied this cab to the Canadian truck manufacturer Hays. In Canada it was known as a Haymack cab to truck drivers. Usually has a Cummins NTA 370, or NTA 400. That was big power back in the day, but very thirsty. Peterbilt also supplied the Pete 352 cab to Hays. They did originally start off with their own cabs. Hays where a well respected manufacturer of logging trucks on the west coast, as was Pacific. They gave Kenworth a run for their money, as they also where a custom truck builder in respect to building off highway trucks. RIP Hays Clipper.

@Terry Melvin I'm no mechanic, nor have I rebuilt one, but, have owned a trucking company for 25 years and driven even longer. Unless one of you are one, I think we need a Detroit tech to answer the question on backpressure. But, I can read and know how to use the Google machine, which says little or no backpressure is needed on a 2-stroke. And, the reason they are so loud, they are air cooled, no water jackets to quite the motor, and, since it is 2-stroke, no dedicated exhaust cycle, so, pipes need to be VERY free flowing!!! I think they could put 12 exhaust stacks on and that motor would still be loud.

Love the quad stacks! Fantastic sound!

[@joecummings1260]

Close to 500 horsepower in factory trim with N65 injectors in it. That was a serious beasts back in the day

[@klub5158]

“The quad stacks was an effort to quiet down the truck...” 🤣 that’s like trying to draw blood from a stone, trying to quiet down a 12V Detroit 😂

@Terry Melvin I like that bro that's a good one, and yur so right👍

@Terry Melvin Not the best way but the only way!

A truckers dream. Love them old school rigs. Runs like a beast and shifts like a dream. Awesome truck, you should be very proud of it.

[@krisjato]

Simply badass! This thing burns diesel fuel and turns it into music! When I was a kid my dad had a late 70s international Transtar that had either a 6v92 or an 8v92, I can't remember which, and it has a 13 speed road ranger. He had a mobile home pulling business and as a kid I went with him and helped out all I could... It was awesome! Anyways, great video! I'm glad the truck was rescued, it's definitely a beast!

[@tommckinney3136]

Most of today's so-called truck drivers have no idea how to drive a 13 or 18 speed tyranny.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I see those quad stacks didn't do a damn thing quieting that truck! Freaking love it! Nice seeing a driver on KZbin that actually knows how to drive a Detroit without revving the absolute piss out of it too!

[@TachyonDriver]

"the quad exhaust was an effort to make the truck look cool as hell for the streets of Manhattan".. Fixed it for you! :D I wonder if I'd be allowed any 2 stroke Detroit diesel vehicle to play with in the UK? Especially seeing as I'd want a Jake brake... Sorry for the intrusion, back to playing Truck Simulator! :)

[@danmackintosh6325]

HA, not before I get my grubby mitts on one!... If you do manage to acquire such a vehicle, do let me know (a drive by should serve!)

Detroit Diesel best way to turn fuel into music. Thanks much for the ride along. Please keep that truck as is and not a show rebuild. Real world trucks are getting rare.

Hello how are you

Listen to that engine ROAR. Wow. I just bought a boat with twin Detroit 8V92’s. I hope restoring old trucks with these amazing engines doesn’t become my next way to spend money I don’t have!

Don't know about the "V12" sound, but it definitely had the 2 stroke Detroit sound.

[@anonymousinc6330]

Doesn't really sound like a V12 to me, honestly.

[@iRyan876]

Certain V12's actually had a little bit of a vibration like grunt at low rpm. I can see what he meant, but overall, it definitely DOESN'T sound like a V12.

What an awesome piece of machinery! When I was a kid in the 70s, my grandfather owned Bestrom Oil Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan and one time I got to spend the day making fuel oil deliveries in his cabover tanker truck. I don't know what kind it was, but it is still one of my favorite memories as a child. I still have a little boy kind of fascination with love for cabovers.

[@bctw9004]

Seems SO nice to see history and appreciation for our trucking heritage. Thank you for posting Much better than that clown Bruce Wilson who obviously has no clue about older trucks.

[@barryphillips7327]

Nice old truck, sounds AWESOME, driver made nice smooth gear changes, unmistakable sound of a Detroit Diesel.

"Pass everything but the fuel island in that beast" Still, I LOVE IT! I would love to make just one run in that beast, the other drivers at a rest stop or Love's would hate my azz when I pulled in to rest at 3 am. Thank you for waking that beast up from its long sleep. Bonus: its a good looking truck! It cleaned up nicely.

@@MultiCrusher2 I used to drive a 1978 White Road Boss years ago, 318 Detroit powered. If I had to go to the Delaware water gap area in NJ, it was even more gutless on the hills.

One cool old truck, thanks. One from back when I started hauling commercial. The quad stacks are unique and do help. That motor was never known for quiet ... It'll be the only one in show with quad stacks :-)

It just goes to show, you can't quiet a Detroit.

That Husky is one Cool ride. Fixed a brake valve on one of their R-Models years ago,was not supposed to do outside repairs,but the driver just wanted to get home. I Love this video, I made that right on Route 79 many times grossing a 100 thousand or better. Thank You for posting.
