[@alfbittner6489]

The ultimate COE with a 2 stroke Detroit. You have done a fine job. A piece of art that will last.

[@51tiredout]

What a beautiful work of art. Great restoration. Best sounding diesel engine ever made.

[@rileydog362]

Thank you so much !

[@Streamliner2024]

Man, Oh Man! What a beauty! I had a good friend who's dad drove a '53 Jimmy - very similar to this one - only black and white. It was a Hostess bakery transport and he drove from Ellensburg, Washington to Seattle and back everyday over Snoqualmie pass - rain, snow or shine. Had to chain-up in the winter. What a job!!! When he was coming home, we could hear that Detroit 2 miles away! He'd roar past us and park it out in front of their house! This sounds to me like the same Detroit 6 his dad had. They sound like they would come apart when approaching red-line! Class 7, right? Having restored several vintage cars, looking at that undercarriage makes me tired just to think about all the work you have done! Well worth it though. Thanks for letting us see it all. Jake brakes are totally cool!!!!

[@robinengland5799]

Beautiful restoration! My favorite truck!!

[@boblackey1]

I remember those cannonball GMC tractors in the 1950s. Here on the east coast of the US most of the trucks were IH, White, Mack, Autocar, Diamond T, Reo, GMC, Ford & Dodge. It was rare to see a Peterbilt, KW or Freightliner here. They were western trucks back then. Later Diamond T & Reo merged becoming Diamond Reo, Freightline partnered with White & became White Freightliner & I think it was only a cab over truck then. The big sellers here in the 1950's were IH, White, Mack, Autocar & GMC. When I occasionally got west of the Mississippi, that is when you began to see KW & Pete. It was also the days when the ICC restricted trucking companies to certain states. When deregulation happened under President Reagan, it eventually put many of the east coast trucking companies out of business. McLean (big user of GMC tractors), Hennis, Red Line, Pilot, Mason-Dixion etc etc. They just couldn't compete when they lost their dedicated territory & gained a large number of new competitors who expanded into the east from other parts of the country. The famous two cycle engine was badged "GMC" then but if you spec it in an IH or White etc, they called it a Detroit but it was the same engine. Most of the non GMC/Detroit engine trucks had Cummins. Cat wasn't in it then. Mack of course had a Mack engine.It was easy to tell if it was a GMC/Detroit coming down the road but after you were on the road long enough, it also became easty to tell the different in the sound of a Cummins and a Mack.

Great history lesson. I really like American trucks.

The deregulation of the trucking industry began with the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which was signed into law by President Carter on July 1, 1980.

[@ckelley63]

[@swart112]

Youre welcome. If interested Detriot is a division of General Moters. Thier first 2 stroke diesel was called the 53 seties, next was 71 series and finally the silver92. Todays Detriots are 4 stroke and called 60 series. It is one of the first ECM engines put into on highway trucks. Enjoy that old Jimmy not many of them left.

[@madtownmadman]

The 71 series came out before the 53 series. It powered many military of WWII. I don't know for sure, hut it may have debuted in the 30's. The 53 series was released for the 58 model year, and debuted in the fall of '57.

[@whorayful]

+madtownmadman You are right the first model released was the 6-71 N went into production around 1938 and did great service in WW2 powering anything from Navy landing boats, through tanks, trucks, pumps, generators anything that needed power probably had a 6-71 bolted on the front.

[@holysirsalad]

Not quite, it's largely a Mercedes design but they are built at the same plant in Redford.

We had a picture of an old Peterbuilt hanging on the wall at our shop , it had a 318 Detroit . Every morning we had to wipe oil off of the floor under the picture . That's a very nice restoration , very clean job . Looks like a 238 6-71 engine .Enjoyed the video . I recently rebuilt an older 238 with the external fuel lines .

Beautiful truck

[@ghosty191]

The sound of a GMC Detroit engine, has a sound like no other engine. I could always tell when my husband was near our home, when I heard that sound. Always gave my heart a jolt when I heard it coming down the highway. That sound has disappeared and my husband has passed many years ago. I enjoyed the whole video, which also brought back my own memories of driving also. Thanks.

[@rileydog362]

+Terry Durfee Thanks for the great story. That is why I have this truck too and the memories it brings to others.
