There is a flatbed driver that runs around here and a little east that has a needle nose KW withe a Mercury sleeper on it. Cab and hood are flat hot rod black, sleeper is of course stainless.

never heard a semi truck sound like that one in the pull video above. guess that was a diesel at full throttle? something else? was it doin' good, or just makin' a lot of noise?
anybody who knows can you chime in? thanks.

Sounds like a Detroit to me. That's what your Scenicruiser should sound like. Here's another sound clip

interesting sound. .. seems like its working hard though..or is that just my neophyte diesel ears playing tricks on me?
the "consensus" on Scenicruiser powertrain seems to lean toward annything BUT an 8V71. rather a "modern" (21st century vintage) two or four stroke diesel.

I did not know such a thing existed for semis...but why not. I gotta find one near me next yr and try to check it out first hand.
I will admit to the world.. i frickin' love "tractor" pulls...much to the "disappointment" of some of my elitist "academic" friends.

some fellas working on old "853" (apparently the hobbyist have the Scenicruisers 1,001 numbered and accounted for).
this bus was repowered in the 60's with the DD 8V71 and hadn't been started in a couple of years. success at 2:08 in the video .. the rest after 3:18 is axle/tire changing etc.

So then I take it you're not familiar with the tractor street races?

Notice the 359 Pete won the truck pull, just saying.

the one at 2:21 in the video? if yes, that pull could went on another couple miles it seemed...
hmmm... not sure what to make to this one. might be a polarizing treatment (love it, hate it, no middle)?
Or, maybe this is an overseas design common in some other part of the world (like the Japenese dekotoras) - Australia, SAmerica, etc.?

Simple is better like the lime green Pete in the other thread pulling the 5th wheel camper.

Single stack so I'm going to assume a 671 Detroit set on kill. Sounded like it was turning about 3500 RPM, definitely WFO and doing a fine job.

They have a truck drag at Notre Dame du Nord Que where they run loaded lumber trains grossing 140,000 lbs 700' up a 12% grade.

Actually we're seeing reports of his birth certificate being from Alaska in hopes to be eligible for the next election.
"Drag" trucks yankin 70 tons up the grade .. they look ''stock" .. yes? amateur racers using same vehicles they make their living with as professional drivers?
really cool and i'd dig it being there but wish crowd was further away.
