Join us on an epic adventure as we set out to revive a legendary 1970 GMC Astro powered by the iconic inline 6 Detroit Diesel (6-71), also known as the “Screaming Jimmy”. This classic Semi has been sitting idle for over 30 years, but we’re determined to get it running and drive it 500 miles back home. Will we succeed in this monumental challenge? Watch to find out!

I can't quite figure out if yall are brave or crazy or a little of both.
You´re gotta talk to Ol2Stroker, check his shit out, he knows these suckers in and out- get in touch with him, Detroit trucks are his thing.
He even has a rig to transport this with, that would be the best advise for Y´all. Greets!
Keep at it fellas. The drive home will be a whole nother kind of adventure. 👍🏻🤙🏻🖖
That is such a cool looking truck and I'm seriously impressed with you guys working through the problems on something you have no experience with.
This channel is so awesome. I want you guys to know, i genuinely get excited when yall post a video. The beauty is, you guys are so relatable. Its inspiring 🤝
That was great content guys 👍👏, thanks for sharing.
Excellent video guys… really interesting no bullshit…look forward to your next endeavor.
I've ran a small gen to a pancake compressor into the air system to limp home one time. DOT would frown on that but figured it was safer than being stuck on the side of the highway
anyone seen the movie "Duel" from 1971? This truck is giving the same vibes
Great job figuring out the battery situation. I can’t wait for the next video. 👍
You should either face the camera or film from the other side. Wanna see cars not the skinny jeans 🤷
If a detroit turns, it'll start.
Cabovers are fun to drive the first time, turning a corner while being so far forward feels wacky. Cool truck.
Gents. If you’re gonna drive that rig back, better scale it out. Some backroad bridges might not like it. Get the lights, horn, wipers, and service brakes working properly. Clean the exterior sufficiently so as not to look like a hobo and attract unwanted attention. I’d stay off interstates if it was me, but you do you.
Or, low boy trailer it! Good luck!
Weren't the "Screaming jimmy" was a 53 series…..high rpm…..2500 ish..??
Quick n easy way to check if its 22v or 24v …….look at the volt gauge….if it redlines at 20v then clearly its a 12v system ❤️🇺🇲
That took some work 👍👍
Nice job Nice tractors cool show 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
looks like you boys do a good job keeping Bomgaars in business
