I enjoy seeing big old trucks get driven by people who clearly know what they’re doing, and this youtuber has some excellent ones.
I love the sound of old two stroke diesels

I spotted this one the other day. Three lever shifting in a Kenworth.

That looks interesting to keep track of

I want to own an old “Jimmy” so bad. The sound a Detroit Diesel makes is second to none.

Two strokes? Have another.

They could apparently be heard from a mile away! The thought of sitting in one of these for a working day makes my head hurt.
You could also google the Commer TS3 (or Knocker), an opposed piston two stroke from the same era.

I respect the coordination but that’s just trying to look cool. Added long-ass levers for hi/lo and splitter. Plus the lowered seat and windshield...
