BIG Cummins Powered Truck SITTING in a COW Paddock for YEARS! Will it START?

[@rodcole818]

I drove one in ‘83 for Lex Gordon Transport, Narrabri West. 350 Cummins 15 speed RR. That low air buzzer bought back memories. Had a 40” sleeper.

Ah the glee in Bruce's voice in the outro, the man loves what he does and bonus points for finishing up before dark! These old mechanical beasts never cease to amaze us, no matter how long they're stayed dormant... By the way, who is Mister Cameraman? Is he your son? Would be nice to have a face reveal to get to know you guys better!

Well done Bruce! I thought that truck was toast but you have created a diamond in the dust.

You are a legend Bruce, if anyone could start, you did.

I learnt how to drive in one of these old Fords years ago with the faithful old 350 big cam cummins under the bonnet. Was one of the best engines around back in the day, near bulletproof. Thanks for the video Bruce.

[@BlueKhaki]

Greetings from Louisville!

[@dave-ish8098]

My dad, God rest him, used to drive a Ford L9000 like this one for the state, delivering equipment. He called it Blue Thunder and they put down some mileage back in the 90s and 2000s. When it was time for a rebuild my dad convinced his friend in the maintenance yard to install the next size turbo and bump up the fuel a bit :D Always a hot rodder.

[@Chriss_n70]

Always a good day when Bruce uploads.. taught me a lot with engines and diagnosing problems with simple ways.. great video mate can’t wait for the next one!

[@aidenh2563]

I have fond memories of these old trucks. My dad had a 1986 LNT 9000 for 10 years, 365 Big Cam 4, 13 speed overdrive and SP40s with 411s on airbag. it had the same interior, a 42 inch low line bunk, fiberglass flares and visor plus the later style grille off a LTS. it was a tidy little truck back in it's day

[@larryelliott6321]

Amazing. It runs after sitting abandoned outdoors for so long. I hope someone can pull the engine, rehab what is needed and make it useful again.

[@pbsgarage3486]

That's pretty wild Bruce. Think those big cams were the last decent Cummins engine.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

The engine and the hood is it on that job. Glad it started and you did good. I've driven a couple with the big cam and they did all right but I'm a admirer of a 3406, a 300-Plus, an E-9 and a GM/Detroit. Paid many a light bill looking at dog butts. Thanks, Bruce and CHEERS!

[@bruceinaus]

Thanks very much Lew, yes the engine ran surprisingly well and your right, the bonnet assembly seemed to be in particularly good condition for fibreglass

Another great video! With all the webs, too bad you didn't pack your fire extinguisher / air compressor. With the volume of oil, wonder if the leak was the oil line for the turbo. Never thought to use a wire to check oil - Brilliant! Diesel Creek channel is building a big cam Cummings for his Autocar antique diesel, maybe it wouldn't hurt to message. Thanks for the video.

[@revvyhevvy]

Thanks very much Robert, the demographic is quite broad brush surprisingly

[@australiantrains8988]

That Louisville has seen better days Bruce, been a source for spare parts by the look of it too. Admire your "can do" attitude, I wouldn't have bothered and rang Sims Metal instead! Is that an old steam traction engine to the right at 10:39? Amazing result Bruce, well done again.
