Man that Autocar of yours is just awesome! Can you please do a super long uncut ASMR style ride along on the Autocar, beginning with engine start up at the beginning, a mix of city and highway driving, and engine shutdown at the end? ASMR videos help me fall asleep, and I'd love several super long ASMR's on an Autocar like this one! I'd like them to be as long as possible - for me, the longer the ASMR's, the better! Please let me know ASAP.
@@GarbageSean I won’t be taking this truck out anymore this year sadly. I have too many other projects that need finishing and don’t have the funds for a new tire right now. I’ll try and get a better audio setup so I can get better sound quality videos. I do have a nice ride along video of my white that’s about 15 minutes long I think. Might want to check that video out. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@Autocar87 Once you get a new tire and everything else that needs done to it, you'll do my requested ASMR, right? I just want to make sure you won't forget! But in the meantime, I'll check out that ride along in the White with the 6-71!!
@@dennyalfro9832 for sure. Not going to be much clutching, I only use it to start and stop. I’ve been doing some work to the truck but have more dirt to haul and will make some more videos. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Ah, the reliable and awesome Cat 3406B! And what an amazing Autocar you got there - one of my favorite cabs! Can you please do a super long raw uncut ASMR on this one, starting off with engine start up, shifting at high RPM's, and ending with engine shutdown? I want a super long ASMR on this one, like 3-4 hours long, so I can listen and watch it and fall asleep while listening to the straight pipes on this thing! Please let me know ASAP.
I love this sound. BIG thanks for sharing this. I recommend listening to the Class 55 Deltic locomotive on full power. The Napier engines sound similar to this truck. I think you might like it.
@@Darth-Nihilus1 they’re getting scarce for sure. One of the reasons I’ve always liked Autocar, white, diamond Reo/T is because you just don’t see them. Mack’s, kw’s and Pete’s are nice, but everyone and their brother has one. This old girl turns heads of people who don’t even know trucks but they notice something just isn’t quite the same. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
@@Darth-Nihilus1 it’s a ‘69. It is still very much a work in progress and will be a slow moving project. But it will be nice once again. Going to try and keep this one ready for work/play at all times throughout the rebuild process as much as possible.
@@nickkercheval2704 the old girl does well for itself being a single axle dump truck. It’s also so low geared that it’s not too bad shifting wise the short runs I take it on. Gotta plan the turns with Armstrong steering though! Thanks for the comment!
I live in Westbrook and recognized where you were immediately - great sounding truck! You put on quite a sound show for the inmates in Windham climbing up the hill, LOL. In a past life I drove coaches with Detroits, love that scream. It's quieter when its 30+ feet behind you though.
@@kevinrhodes335 hahaha very nice. That for sure is a good hill to climb. Hard to get a run for it with the rough bridge abutment right there and idiots coming down the hill taking the whole lane. The old girl made it happen though. Thanks for the comment! I remember taking school trips on the old Maine Line busses with 8v-71’s out back doing work. The bus ride was always my favorite part of the field trip.
@@simpledj509chromo7 I know! I still want to find a truck with twin sticks. That was one of the things I wanted when I was looking for a truck. This truck checked all the boxes except twin sticks but I still just had to have it. Guess I’ll have to buy another truck still! I’m going to try another camera angle so you guys can see me shifting as well. There will be more videos to come. Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@Autocar87 Love to hear it man. If you're used to modern boxes they are a learning curve. But if you're used to the old stuff they are pretty fun to play with loaded below about 50k. Beyond that you'll understand why the old timers were wizards with less than 250 hp and a five or six and four hauling way more than 105,500 up in the timber. Those boys were something else. My grandad felled timber until he couldn't and then drove log truck. And grandma was rolling right beside him driving log truck for a couple decades.
That 238 Detroit is singing a few years back I almost bought a 1967 White 9000 had a 250 natural breathing Cummins with a 10 spd road ranger love these old trucks
Eddieweigel9490……. That old 10 speed had a mechanical splitter in it. A steel rod that ran from the shifter down through the tranny to change the high/low shifting range. My first job out of the Army was in a 9000 White, super 250, mechanical 10 speed in 79.
@@BillHunclebuncle this one isn’t quite that old but I know exactly what you’re talking about. We looked at a ‘65 I think White 9000 with that style 10 speed in it. This one is “modern” with the air valve up on the stick.
@@Autocar87 … so short, but so close in time from days gone by……there is a significance that separates us from the modern drivers, and I’d guess that we’ve driven some of that same old road, that today’s driver has never experienced? Ahhhhh the good ole days……..
Thank you and I will try. I’m always on a tear and need to get things done and forget to bring the camera or mount. I’ll be using it some more in the upcoming weeks.
Ya got me, lock me up and throw away the keys. There was only one stop sign by the way. Don’t have one in my yard. If you’re going to be a busy body tattle tale, at least get the details right. Thanks for watching, like and subscribe 😊
Not a bad old truck. I like the old White's. They have some Sweet line's to them. I personally would do some safety upgrade's. Old blown 71 have a sweet sound that take's me back...
I've always wondered what the N stands for. I know the TA are Turbo and After cooler respectively but so rarely come across an N I never learned what it means for Detroits.
I worked on many of these 9000’s in the early to mid 70’s. Most had 903 Cummins V8’s. There wasn’t much room under there. You had to unbolt the cab mounts, and lift the cab up on the passenger side to remove the rocker cover. If you getting into it further you remove the hood and rad in short order. All those Whites where pretty sold. The Western Star had a few more comfort appointments, such as padded interior. Drove a few 4000’s and Stars. The Velvet Ride suspension sucked. About as bad as the Hendrickson Concrete Block suspension.
I wonder if your truck used to be a Lombard trucking company unit? They had a terminal in waterbury back in the 70's when I was a kid. Hard telling looks like it been painted a bunch of times, if it has any dark green it could be a clue. Good video.
Thanks for that idea. It does have dark green on the frame. The cab was originally a turquoise greenish color. , then it was red, now the white from what I can tell. I do see what looks like cream/tan on the hood that was maybe a two tone/stripe job too. I love finding the history on these old trucks. I’m sure this truck could tell a story or 100 haha
I love these old white motor company trucks almost bought a 67 tandem White 9000 tractor from a company in Buffalo NY a few years back 250 natural breather Cummins 10 spd road ranger box some family things came up there went the White but Family first
Thanks, I’m a fan of the mid 70’s style wrap around dash but this is still a very classic style dash. Leg room is just enough for me at 6’2” but I don’t care, I’d rather a cosy cab over the newer condo style cabs where you can’t even roll the passenger side window down unless it’s power.
