1959 GMC DETROIT DIESEL SHIFTING

[@tomhayes7448]

It never gets old watched this at least 20 times. The timing of his shifts with the rpms and his coordination is awesome.

[@TailSpin46]

I love it, especially the park brake... that's a classic. I had to take a 2 stroke DD in a cab-over for a 5 hr trip one day that ended up being 9 hrs. It was hot and no aircond so had the windows open and the old DD singing along about 70 mph. That was like running a 4 hr nascar race, my ears where pretty much shot by the time I got home, lol.

[@wesdowling1340]

My 69 I H had the same park brake

Love to hear these old disels running I am glad to hear that engine sounds like a symphony orchestra

[@scdevon]

That's real truck driving. It's amazing how these transmissions just fall into gear without clutching once you speed match the engine speed to the transmission. Nice work!

[@tenmil1]

Nearly any Manual transmission can be shifted like that. Done it in pretty much every manual car I’ve driven/owned. It’s pretty smooth once you get the hang of it and your clutch will last longer. And it’s kind of fun lol.

[@darrylowen4264]

My father drove those girls. The old 2 stroke Jimmy had the most beautiful sound of any diesel ever.

[@billmann2991]

There isn’t anything Better than a Screaming Detroit! 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻🍻

[@TimothyPeterson-mc4gf]

These trucks are an American classic These trucks deserves to be recognized for making trucking a part of the American way

[@TimothyPeterson-mc4gf]

These trucks deserves to be recognized it defines what trucking industry is

[@LarsDcCase]

You mean what it was.

[@wasted6666]

Awesome Bud Have a Great Day

[@Esa826]

This is my ASMR right here! I could watch this for hours. Driver is a real professional trucker, respect!

[@rileydog362]

Thank you !

[@zahirmurji]

I agree he is a professional.

[@nickdecarlo76]

I love that sound!!! The sound of a REAL diesel engine!!! One that you can hear coming a mile away and you know will last a long time.

[@staffoffice]

A mile? Hell that's way to quiet then son. I better hear that thing from 3 miles. LOL!!

[@radamson1]

And took a mile to stop.

[@robertunderwood6984]

I love the sound of those 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engines.I can remember back when my brothers and me would listen to the sounds of those engines at night and say we were going to drive trucks like them.But I'm the only one of us to actually drive trucks.But I never got a chance to drive any of the Detroit 2 strokes.By the time I did decide to start driving trucks,there was many of Detroit 2 strokes engines around.I sure miss that wonderful sound of them.Thanks for the great videos and keep up the work you're doing.May God bless you.

[@81moldy6]

Oh ya four stroke diesels are garbage compared to two strokes

[@te4bag_k1ngp1n]

Unlike your hearing after a day in the cab.

[@VFDF9]

Nothing beats that ole Detroit jake can hear them for miles

[@joey0077d]

I could fall asleep to that beautiful sound.

[@islandfd3s]

Awesome video! Thanks for the glimpse back in time at this wonderful machine! I really miss "driver's vehicles" and while I'd rather be driving a 1959 corvette, even when it's a truck you still get to be engaged with the vehicle and the road! No chance of someone texting and driving in this thing! First truck I ever drove was a 1982 Mack Twin-stick. It was noisy, awful, slow, rode like a wagon but I still loved to drive it.

[@jaymcdaniel7576]

Boy oh boy does that bring back memories. I started driving in a 1965 cabover International, with 6/71 and a 10 speed. I'll never forget that sound. Thanks

[@wildwelder87]

Damn I couldn't help but grin when that Jake brake came on at :51, gotta love that sound!

[@rileydog362]

It still does that for me too ! Thanks for looking !

[@TimothyPeterson-mc4gf]

I love to see old trucks restored and running the sound of old trucks running is music to my ears

[@apocyldoomer]

Nice! The Old Timers had it rough, no AC, Coffin sleepers, wooden seats, damn, i have respect!!

[@224chingon]

Wooden seats? Never seen those.

[@joeseay2883]

I knew an old driver several years older than me, I drove over the road for 34 years, he used to sit on a nail keg with a cushion on it.! I drove a couple of those 2 stroke Jimmy's. You could change a dozen gears just getting out of the yard.!

[@TheTexasViper]

How can you not fall in luv with that exhaust note

[@Ken-lp9qt]

This video put a smile on my face!Thanks for the upload.

[@donaldbartram6315]

My dad drove for Mobil Oil for 36 years. I remember him having these trucks in their terminal in Norwalk Ct. Then they got new style GM's in around 62 I love the way these trucks look.

[@chuckeberth4370]

Of all the truck videos on you tube this '59 Jimmy is still my absolute favorite.

[@rickprobst5757]

I love the sound of a diesel purring

[@lhilton1]

Many years ago while in college I drove a 1070A Lodestar with the same combination. That Fuller was the slickest shifting transmission I every operated. Exhaust pipe separated from the muffler on the way back from the stone quarry one day and I had to drive it all the way home loaded. That was without a doubt the loudest engine I have ever heard. My ears rang for days.

[@rileydog362]

Thanks for sharing the memory !

[@dougforquer7265]

Great truck and great engine. I took my class A driving test in a 54 GMC 930 with a 6 71 and 15 forward speeds in 1958. Love the engine and truck.

[@arupian666]

awesome, awesome video ! Not only a demonstration of REAL driving, but the beautiful symphony of sound from that engine actually made me a little emotional

[@rileydog362]

I liked it better when He Chose NOT TO.

[@dsruddell]

@@len-zeplin480 the first shift at low speed can be a tougher one. especially when the trans is still cold. thats why he only did it on the first shift.

[@jamesgage1831]

My dad loved the sound DD made he loved working on them and driving them to been around them all my life never gets old that sound awesome 👍 ☺️

[@carlm8821]

Real sharp shiftin and fancy footwork....gotta love it!

You have added absolute joy to this old driver mile or does that bring back memories with my dad my grandpa

[@rileydog362]

I am glad you like it.

[@unlucky_charm29]

Sounds great. I'm in love with those kinds of shifters, with long handles.

[@esdafoo]

This video is one of my favorite of all time. The Detroit engine is the best souding engine ever. (I personnaly have many engines like the Toyota 2JZ converted to single turbo, 4BT, etc). The sound at 3:20 is just insane. I hope to find one of these in my life. Thank you for sharing!

[@rileydog362]

Thank you so much !

[@rattmann36863]

I guess there are lots of folks out there who like to rebuild these trucks, and drive them around. Sounds like fun.

Go to the American Truck historical society website and check it out. There are lots of resored big rigs around. aths.org

[@spidubic68]

Love this truck. Cannot get enough of the sound.

Especially on the way down she sounds like a Mopar V8, great stuff! And you just gotta love how straight 6s (and V12s for that matter) respond to bumps!

That truck sounds very good

[@scottwest1813]

That would be a long hard ride. It sure would keep you awake.

so satisfying to listen to. My WRX doesnt really have that same feel because I row through the gears very quickly now, if I drive it slow I love to rev out the engine slowly.

I remember when my grandfather used to drive one of this nice trucks. 👍 vid

[@hjalmarson70]

Nothing and I mean nothing sounds as sweet as a Detroit Diesel screaming down the road. I was a volunteer firefighter for seven years when I was younger and one of the pumpers was an early 70's Sutphen with a 6V72. Man, that was a sweet sounding truck.

[@ericwilson640]

old fucker sounds good! a family friend ours use to drive a 59 gmc car carrier. in the 70s. it was red white and blue . super loud all us kids loved that truck. his name was richard miller r.i.p." running bear ".

Savage double clutching! Them kids these days prob would panic

[@camelmanjd2671]

😆😆😆😆

[@ironsticksportinggoodsllc2417]

Sad part is most kids these days have trouble putting automatics in gear much less having a clue about non-synchronized gear boxes. Or split split shifting or two speed rear axles. Damn I'm really showing my age now.

[@MoarButtsecks]

Funny enough, I double clutch on all my downshifts on my car just for the hell of it. You know you did it right when it takes no effort to go into gear!

[@halfanacrefarms2375]

Im 13 can double clutch and twin stick two we have a 359 cat and a w900 we have on our farm fun to drive during harvest to and from the field but your right theres a rare breed of decent kids who dont listen to rap curse like sailors or any of that nonsense

[@johnhull6363]

worked in a chemical plant that had a 6-71 fire water pump in a block building that ran away....shut fuel off out side.... starting running on crankcase oil....til it came apart.... that noise would make you think the world was ending

[@ElijahIan]

To call it “work” in this beautifully sounding piece of machinery would be a lie... I’d drive it as much as possible... reminds me of my 1979 528i straight headers five speed... it would scream and love to hold the revs just like this.. in heaven it will be my chariot

[@MegRyanBrasilSul61]

Hugo SonofGod What do you mean? This truck screams like a BMW 520 series from 70's? Wow then your BMW looks badass
