12v71 Detroit Diesel Powered 1972 Peterbilt 352 Cabover Episode 1 - The Rescue

[@brianburns7211]

That was an oil spout. Plastic bottles of oil came out in about the mid 1980s. I remember doing oil changes for my parents. The oil came in cardboard cans, with metal ends. The spout pierced the end to get the oil out.

I might still have one of those spouts. They pretty much disappeared when oil started being sold in plastic bottles. Those were the days!

That moment you said "..keep as original as possible.." you made me smile. Love it. Thank you for saying that.

@27:55 oil spout. I'm 44. Those were just getting phased out when I was very small.

[@79tazman]

My old man had a 12V71 in his old truck when I was a kid and always knew he was coming just by the sound of the 12V71 we did not have to see him yet and knew he was coming. I only hear the odd 12V at truck shows now days but the sound of them bring back memories of my childhood

[@79tazman]

Man that's a killer truck I'm already in love when I heard it had a 12V71 and then find out it's a 352 Pete that is so badass I have never seen one like that it has the big sleeper most had the coffin sleeper but that has the big one with the two windows in the back that truck is badass take care of that girl she is a beauty.

[@fsctrucking]

Just looking at the first few minutes, it looks like they ordered EVERY option on it. Big cab. Big tanks. Rear glass. Dual stacks. Spare Tire Rack etc.

Power windows, 13 speed over, tall rears, this the most loaded early 70’s rig I’ve ever seen

[@sterlingstreamliner]

Really appreciate you shooting video of this 1973 Peterbilt truck save. Looking forward to watching you work on this. You made me feel old and smile that you didn't know what that old oil can spout was. That was a hoot! Love that you put that in. Oil was originally sold in glass bottles in 1910s-1930s. Then for 50 years oil was sold in steel cans into 1980s. Back in the day you'd push that spout thru one end of an oil can and pour. Since 1980s consumer oil is either mostly sold in plastic containers, or 5 gal. buckets with pop-up spout. Been years since I thought about old oil can spouts. Keep up the good work!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@gullreefclub]

Motor Oil and ATF was still commonly sold in cardboard cans with metal ends (Quarts, and Gallons for motor oil, Pints, and Quarts for ATF and all Metal cans for Anti-Freeze) until the late 1980's early 1900's.

[@larrywalker7759]

Great find/acquisition. When I was first getting started in this field I worked for International Harvester. At that time IH was selling the Transtar 4070A with engines up to Cummins NTC 350 or Detroit 8V71T. If you saw a tall Transtar designated as 4090A, it had a 12V71 Detroit in it. Yeah, I also had to smile when you could not identify that oil can spout. The type of hose you couldn't remember is either Aeroquip or Stratoflex. Both companies made similar products and both companies had their beginnings in aviation, as is reflected in the names of both brands of hose.

[@johnnycomelately5914]

I worked on hundreds of those 352's. Good find. Although I've worked on many of those V 12's, the Pete's I serviced had mostly NH Cummins and a few Cats. The luberfiner is serviced with the cab jacked up. Make sure you bleed the air out of the filter by loosening the center bolt on the cover, leaving it screwed in a few turns and running the truck til the oil starts to seep out, then tighten the bolt down. The handle for the cab jack was nothing more than a piece of pipe maybe 3/4 inch diameter that's about 16 inches long and slides over the shaft on the jack. Those jacks always leaked, so never leave home without some extra tranny fluid and a tiny funnel. Check the aluminum battery box supports on either side. They use to crack and then goodbye batteries and air tanks. You have air ride, so you may be okay there. Less hammering. The passengers window is air operated. Make sure the shift handle is centered when you lower the cab so it goes up inside of the slot. Good luck with your project. One other thing. I'd run a bungee cord from the door handle to the striker if you plan on opening up the door with the cab up. It will keep the pressure off of the strap that keeps the door from opening too far. The screws that secure the strap use to rip out.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I need to rebuild the remote housing thats why i had to put it in gear at the end of the video. Its the only way it doesn't get caught on the cab. I broke the range selector off the shifter so I'll buy a nos shift knob somewhere 😥

[@johnnycomelately5914]

@@Ol2Stroker I use to barely crack the up/down selector on the pump in the down position so the cab slowly dropped and then ran around and held the shifter so it didn't get caught in the cab. Then once it was above the opening, I'd run back around and pull on the safety latch cable and hold that so the latch cleared the striker. I always gave the jack a few pumps in the down position after it was down all the way so the latch would have a little pressure clamping it down tight against the rubber pads I'm new to your videos, so I don't know how much you know/don't know, but I wouldn't take that safety bar for granted that's above the cab piston on the ditch side. I suggest you never play around under the cab unless it's latched.

[@Ol2Stroker]

@@johnnycomelately5914 maaaaan i wish i took a pic of that safety latch before i removed it and fixed it. I don't mess around with that shit man that thing is always latched. Preciate ya.

[@johnnycomelately5914]

@@Ol2Stroker Yeah, some of those hand pumps have been converted to electric pumps too. That Peterbilt Air Spring is a nice set up, and common on other trucks as well. When they first came out, there was a problem with the rear end housing shifting side to side because the paddles would loosen and jump the center bold stud. I've seen a few that had shifted so much that it drove the inside tire into the spring and blew the tire. Take a look around the paddles and look for rust trails. If you see rust, that means they are loose. If you ever change a spring (they're cheap to buy) after you tighten the bolts up, and run the truck a few days, go back and re-tighten them. Put a wrench on the rear cab mounts where they mount to the cab to make sure they are tight. Again, where you have Air Ride you may be okay, but they use to loosen up sometimes. I'll keep thinking of things that were problems with those trucks. Overall, they were in my opinion the best truck out here at the time where in most states 55 feet was the max for length. I maintained a fleet of them,(45 352's, a few 353's Freightliners, and Internationals) and if something comes to mind, I'll post. It may save you headaches later.

Very nice truck! I remember those old oil spouts. Either they were all bad or we just had bad one because it leaked everytime i tried it. I usually just cut a little triangle in the can with my jackknife and used a funnel. I'm a little older than you but i don't remember seeing those cardboard cans with the metal lids past maybe my mid teens which was mid eighties. Wow i feel old old now. My farm semi has a 12.7 series 60 i bought with just over a million miles on it a few years ago. I found records that they did a head gasket around 800k. It runs like a top. I have some time on 6-71's at a farm i used to work at. Just like they say, slam your hand in the door and drive it like you're mad at it! Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see where this goes.

Nice truck!!! I'm not a patina fan, so I would see about polishing out that paint, and then touching it up. An airbrush, or even rattle cans in the right hands, could make that baby look a lot closer to new. It looks like they had gold and red stripes bordering the light blue stripes on the cab, and then they carried the red and gold theme onto those sweet-ass aluminum frame rails. I'd love to see that paint job the way it looked 45 years ago. I think '73 was about the last year they ran the air intake plumbing through the cabs? I originally thought that those chrome exhaust stack supports were dual air intakes with the tops removed for clearance, like the exhausts. So I got a little confused when I saw that plumbing in that compartment under the sleeper.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Anybody touches something like this with a rattle can they deserve to have their arms cut off. Lol they did intakes through the cab till at least 74 because i had a 74 v12 with just that. Fun fact the intake tube running through the cab is larger ona v12 truck than all others due to the airflow requirements. 7" compared with normally 5".

[@DanEBoyd]

@@Ol2Stroker It sounds blasphemous, but darn good paintwork can be achieved with even Duplicolor-type products, but the best way is with custom spray cans from the paint supply shop.
