GMC Crackerbox Detroit Diesel Semi Truck terrorizes community

[@tracylemme1375]

I certainly miss the beautiful music of Detroit Diesel two strokes. Thanks for bringing back memories.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Your absolutely welcome Tracy, so many of us remember that sound growing up. It’s a connection. Thanks for watching

[@rudycarlson8245]

I remember the first time I heard a Detroit run i was a little kid and that sound has stuck with me. Once you hear one of these engines run, it will stay with you for the rest of your life! Kind of like diesel smoke once you smell that the smell was stick with you the rest of your life! For me? It brings back wonderful memories of my grandparents farm

It's nicest truck

[@SharpTexan71]

I have worked for ABF for 20 years now. Glad I missed those days of driving those old cab overs.I drive a Mack with powersteering, cruse, ac and a auto transmission. We have a road driver in Dallas in his 80s he would have driven those trucks. He started in 1962 still drives 5 days a week.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Wow! He certainly would have. Thanks for watching 😬👍

You're bragging about driving an automatic 🤣

[@SharpTexan71]

@lazydadsgarage yea I am am. I have driving thousands of miles with a truck that had no power steering all Armstrong no AC vinyl seat making the back of my legs break out. I have driven everything from 7 spds , 9s 10s 13s and 15spd been driving over 30 year more miles than most will ever drive so if I like an auto so be it.

[@grandpafalkenrath2988]

Why is he still driving?

[@SharpTexan71]

@grandpafalkenrath2988 I don't know and I don't ask him. He told me last Thursday he started for Abf in 64. I guess he likes it.....poor fellow. Lol , I guess it's one of those find a job you like and you never work again.

Thanks for showing us the ol truckstop. Man it brings back good memories for me too!!

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

[@muffs55mercury61]

The best diesel music is from a Detroit. I was around buses a lot before I started driving trucks and they all had Detroits. The 6.71s of course were my favorites and to this day 55+ years later the sounds of Detroits are always in my mind, never far removed. The Sangamo speed and tach sure brings back memories before Qualcomms & GPS replaced them. In one way I miss Ohio (I lived in the northwest part) but where I'm at now in Arkansas the old stuff only has to hibernate for a couple of months and not five. Newer drivers today don't often appreciate what it's like to drive one of these. It's boring just being a steering wheel holder like it is now.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

My hats off to you Driver! You have the true old school heritage we celebrate here on the channel. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching too!

[@author]

Thanks for posting this. When I was a little boy, I lived near 3 major streets in Schenectady, NY, and often I saw many tractor trailers on these roads. This style of GMC cab was my favorite.

You have great taste my friend 😬👍

My three favorite trucks probably the GMC Crackerjack, the Astro and the IH Transtar II.

[@mccrackenphillip]

I always liked the Transtar 4000 & 4070 had one here in town as a kid & the crackbox & ford C series

[@oldtrucker672]

That was a blast Dane. You handle the old girl like a pro. I love your passion! Back in the early 70's I drove an old, beat up GMC crackerbox for a short time that had airbags on the cab and a 6-71 Detroit engine. Top speed was 45 mph. I was hauling grapes pulling a set of joints. Each trailer had two bulk hinged bins on it that were tilted over with a crane lift to dump at the winery. Lots of flies and stink going on in the 100 degree summer weather. (Central Cal). Take care my friend.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thanks Driva! Man you got the old school heritage right there! 😬👍

[@DJPLAST2]

Nothing has changed here in Fresno in the last 50 years, just newer “old trucks” doing the same job with probably the same grape trailers! LOL!

[@oldtrucker672]

@@DJPLAST2 Yes, I was speaking of the winery in Fresno! I was driving for Hugo Kaji out of Livingston. I lived in Merced at the time. It wouldn't surprise me if they were still using some of the same equipment. Take care down there in Fresno my friend. I'm up here in Oregon now since 1990.

Cracker boxes are always fascinating, they are the quintessential death trap, they remind me hey let's make the cheapest truck possible with the attention to safety out the window. Drivers are expendable and so are cracker boxes. They are everything that would not be built today.

Old School for sure.

[@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354]

Not true at all, Cabovers in general sit so tall that any 4 wheeler they strike in a collision all the damage happens under the drivers feet. If you hit another big rig head on you're a gonner whether it's a Cabover or a Conventional.

[@bobthetruckerguy5770]

Loved this video. Looking forward to meeting you and your trucks in a week. Where I grew up, there were no truck stops anywhere nearby. We were not near any interstates, but US Route 209 was about a mile from my house, and at night I could hear the trucks going up and down 209, and in particular hear the Jakes and downshifting from a hill a few miles away. I would dream about trucks non stop. When I got a little older I'd ride my bike to where I could see the trucks passing by, and dream. Good ol'days!

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thanks, and Yes Bob you definitely had the same “sickness” I did lol. 😂👍

[@bobthetruckerguy5770]

I sure did! About a mile in the other direction from our house was a lumber yard, and my sister worked in the office there. One of the drivers would let me go with him to make deliveries sometimes, and my love for Ford trucks was born. They had Ford F 600 gas job flatbeds for local deliveries. Sometimes I'd get lucky and a big semi would be in there delivering when I was at the yard. That was the closest thing to a truck stop we had near us

[@grandpafalkenrath2988]

I grew up a Mile from US 66, I'd listen to those 220 and 250 Cummins pulling Martin Springs Hill, didn't hear many jakes back then

[@KurtClark]

I love the sound of that engine. It's the sound of my youth! All the lumber trucks in my town sounded like that!

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Their day was over when I started driving. A friend of mine had one many years ago. I took a short drive in it just to say I have drove on. It was a 238 with the 10-speed it had a sleeper and tandem axle. Your videos can make me think back many, many years. It was a good view of the old green gear shift handle. It is good to see it in a truck again it's probably laid in my toolbox for 40 years. I still have a custom gear shift handle for a 13 speed. Keep the great videos coming.

I grew up (allegedly) on a well known bypass around the scales on the Oklahoma/Missouri border. To this day I can still remember the sound of those Detroit Diesels skirting the scales at night. Loud enough to wake you from a dead sleep. LOL!! I'd love to drop a 6V92 into something totally ridiculous just to keep that sound alive a little longer.

That’s the magic Joe, a retro memory and connection.😬👍

Thanks for taking us on the ride! The Autocar is awesome! Please pursue. Maybe an opportunity to partner with other YT’br to do a “will it run” / rescue on the Poclain excavator (Diesel Creek ?)

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Oh I will pursue it after the Jamboree. 😬👍

I would bet money that I have been there a time or two when I was a kid 10/4😊
