Frank you know I'm the treasure hunter 🧐😂

[@RobGriffiths]

I love how enthusiastic you get over all these old trucks, it's awesome. Much props to you for saving them as well :D

[@Ol2Stroker]

This is why I was put on this earth. The big man upstairs must be fond of old trucks and 2 cycles!

[@shanedurkin4221]

Even on video you can tell Wayno's green truck has a better tune up job than most 2 strokers you hear. Crisp sounding.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks 🤟🤟

[@stevewbeards]

That triple axle is awesome. Great save.

[@bobfognozzle]

I remember the sound of these engines from a gunboat I served on in Vietnam in 1970. What a truck!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Badass 🤟

[@mikemorse8592]

My step dad’s dad has two fords on the farm a 70’s L9000 and a mid 80’s LTL9000 in pristine condition. Runs em every fall. They are amazingly comfortable trucks

[@Ol2Stroker]

Badass!

[@stansdds]

Great video and great that you saved not one, but two old Pete's with 12V-71's!

[@traceystealz0318]

Bahaha God bless Bacon for driving your truck and letting you sit shotgun 🤣 and can confirm he talks like that 😂😂😂

[@mikegroff9314]

Wow what a find they ruled the road im so happy for you get em going again fun stuff

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks man!

[@OdySlim]

I've driven many trucks in my time. Most experimental. We beat the shit out of them as part of a comparison process. There were treadmills. Buildings that were kept many degrees below zero. They were used as part of the fleet. There was roads with railroad ties spaced out at certain intervals to test suspension. You name it and we had a way to test it to make our trucks better that the competition. On of the most comfortable trucks I have driven was a Ford 9000. Besides being comfortable, the controls were ergonomically placed in locations that made the truck easier to operate. Also the gauges on the dash were all in good spots . Nothing was hidden behind the steering wheel. The Ford was like sitting in a cockpit. I loved it.

[@Jyarber102]

@OdySlim the only thing I hated bout the Louie was the fact the dash is a catch all weather it was dust flying in the cab or pens along the ledge.. and God forbid if a man was a smoker instrument cluster looked like and ashtray in 2 loads of dirt

[@OdySlim]

@@Jyarber102 That's funny. I love your thoughts about Ford. It dosent bother me any as they didin pay my check. Merry Christmas Brother

[@Ol2Stroker]

I'm super excited, thanks for watching!

[@abpsd73]

The LTL9000 has always been one of my favorite trucks for looks.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Same. Especially with the fog lights and sleeper!

[@jasonlefley2117]

We've been waiting for this one to drop.

[@Ol2Stroker]

😁😁 hope it was worth the wait!

Definately agree with you on the old tube type rims. I still have them on my old GMC and it's really part of the vintage look!

[@Ol2Stroker]

They're my favorite!

[@goratgo1970]

Heck yeah!

[@winchester358]

Wow love them old trucks first Louisville I drove was a 8V-71 (318) Detroit powered a nation .That Crack out of the exhaust is music to my hears. Lol the younger generation some of them can't even drive a standard there license is stamped A for automatic up here in N S

[@Ol2Stroker]

Hell yeah

[@d.r.ledbetter2286]

Very Nice. The 4070B reminded me of one of the trucks that my dad drove, every time he climbed in that truck, he would have an XL smile

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

Thanks alot, like I really needed another thing to spend money and time on. Off to marketplace to search for a project truck with a Detroit in it. My powerstroke pulls my racecar fine but an old Pete would do it cooler.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Everyone should have one!

[@kajones7272]

I gotta tell ya these videos don't do the trucks justice they're really beautiful rides

[@Ol2Stroker]

Hard to capture them accurately

[@vintageonandieselgen]

Wayne, just joined the Patreon and ordered a fat cab hoodie to go with my ol2stoker flag. Keep on saving these trucks!!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks brother I sure appreciate the support!

[@sjman6064]

Nothing screams 1970's like tube type bias ply tires on aluminum wheels.

I'm remembering B.J and the Bear. Verrrry nice find.

The double breasted Yamaha, the sweet sound of high RPM’s! Had a 318 , 5X4, and 4.64 rears. What a SCREAMER! Fun truck to drive. Hard as hell to ride in,( 4 rubber pad suspension- no give)!

Beautiful trucks, and beautiful Red Heeler. Wish my Heeler/collie was that friendly to new people

Glad I'm not the only guy who absolutely loves the LTL9000 Ford trucks. Shame they're never seen on the road anymore. The 80s were definitely peak America!

The look with the 4 fog lights in the bumper is classic ford. One of the best looking trucks of all time

I drove many LTL 9000 or great trucks. I personally owned a 1985 CLT 9000. They used to call them to STORY Etzel’s mine had a 400 Cat with a 15 DIRECT and 411 pulled super bees with it tankers 70 mile an hour uphill and downhill lol rears on 20 inch rubber she could pull like a bastard and down.

Spent a lot of time offshore fishing. Older boats with strokers. Run offshore steaming for 6+hrs. Partially deaf by the time we wet our lines. Don’t even talk about the blow by in the bilges But yet couldn’t kill ‘em

[@tommyhall2768]

Love that tri drive buddy

And with the wheels, plus that frame.

[@crabappleracer]

Wayno you definitely have a time capsule, give those gems some love and looking forward to a build series content

[@PurplePeterbiltlife1958]

Always loved the sound of old Detroit diesels . I remember the first time I ever got the chance to drive a truck with a big Detroit what’s a 74 white Westernstar. Man, I was so proud the noise of that thing I could not get the smile off my face. Just crossing the lights it sounded like it was really doing the business. I was told that a young age 1st thing you do before you get in the cab and slam the door on your fingers to get you in the right mood to shift the transmission with the big Detroit, lol

[@Ol2Stroker]

I love it! What were you hauling?

[@johnrose8569]

Wayne U would love my mates ford ltl 9000 that my mate is building here in Australia he has put a 12v71 in it very rare here in Australia

[@Ol2Stroker]

I have seen it on Facebook its cool AF!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Hell yes! I bet that pulled awesome!

[@EarlJames-n1j]

@ yeah, he had no problem keeping up with my turned up 425hp 3406😂 I was making 460 to the ground with my Cat (dyno tested) he was a little hotter than that, said it should have been around 600 at the crank but he never had it on a dyno. I remember the engine was white, he said someone had replaced the original unit with one out of a boat. This was mid 90’s, we were hauling steel and running pretty heavy (like 80k on the deck heavy) from Chicago to Philly twice a week.

[@Ol2Stroker]

All yall watching are making me the best Christmas gift so thank you!!!

[@joecummings1260]

That 12v 359 could be something cool. Looked like I saw a double frame. Maybe a 750 Holmes with a zacklift underreach. I thought I saw some rust jacking but really minimal especially for a 1975. I'm assuming a 13 speed single over based on the gear ratio. It's really a cool old truck. And I have to tell you I was always a Mack guy, but I love my LTL 9000. Really comfortable cab

[@Ol2Stroker]

it's a single frame truck thankfully.
