Hi mark love the videos couldn’t live without them I’m 12 years old I got 2 trucks myself an 86 r700 and a 89 international 9300 everything I’ve learned have been from you keep up the good work👌👌
Mark, of all your movie references I don't ever recall you mentioning the 1998 "Black Dog" movie with Patrick Swayze. Or have I just missed it? Either way, It has to be my personal favorite in that category.
I LOVE that movie. It was one of the first trucking movies I saw as a kid. I still quote it all the time and no one gets the references. “I shouldn’t drink apple juice, it gives me gas.”
So I’m the person who purchased the Freightliner cabover. It had a broken clutch break. And I think it needs an injector but I haven’t had enough time to really drive it very far. Once I got it home I had it running in about an hour. Oh and the shifter doesn’t have a cable it just wasn’t locked 👍🏼
That yellow 04 pete is an ice road truck from the nwt. I ran with the old owner a few times and i was with him when he came around the corner on one of the lakes and hit the brakes to avoid a caribou in the road and jacknifed pulling empty hoppers. There was also a hole in the bunk where the the headache rack hit. He said it was a fresh rebuild cat that was turned up but my wore out mack had no trouble keeping up
I learned how to drive in my Dad’s ‘62 Ford pickup that had a three on the tree when I was 11 years old. That was 49 years ago and I nearly fell out of the truck when the door popped open while I was driving. Ah the memories. 😊
I live in my flat top 389 5 days a week & wouldn’t trade it for a high rise. I like the coziness of it & how I can black out the bunk if I want to sleep & it’s bright out. Tks for the videos Mark. I’m gonna do a follow up video of the ‘58 Kenworth my boss bought that you toured a few years ago. 🤙🏼
Would you consider doing a video on like what amount of money you invested into a truck say like snowman please, you did an outstanding job doing it and I look forward to watching your progress but was just interested I guess on what something like that cost when you do most of it by yourself. Thanks and please keep up the good work
I’ve been watching your channel since day one TS and I have to say I appreciate everything you do. It’s inspiring and a heck of a journey to witness. Thanks for taking the time and putting forth the effort to share the journey!
34:43 My dad had a cab over Freightliner that was a 1993 Scales fleet tractor back in 1995. My dad was an old school trucker for sure, most everything he owned was a cab over especially in the old days when they were length laws, even his company trucks were cabovers until the first conventional he drove was a day cab Kenworth, which was literally the last truck he drove before he retired. That cab over Freightliner from Scales he got had the same kind of interior as that one you're checking out and it became my daily driver doing intrastate runs in Florida. I was hoping he was gonna get one of these kind like this one with a stand up bunk back then.
Thanks Mark for showing us most of the big trucks at the auction. some went for 7,000 cheaper than a new ford truck.. buy a big rig and a 800.00 car and go with-it..
IMO, the Coronado is the last glimpse of what Freightliner used to be. I don't love the Coronado but compared to the endless Cascadiastans driving around, seeing a Coronado does make me smile a little. I don't think it's any more or less offensive than the new Peterbilt 589.
Myself I prefer the old flat glass and flat top trucks like my 84 w900 you just can't beat them keep up the good work brother and keep on trucking my friend
Hi Mark, love seeing what is on offer at auction over the other side of the world. Just wondering why so many of you guys over there want to drop all the air out of the air suspension seats. Might as well remove the seat altogether and just bolt a lump of steel for a seat. After spending nigh on 40 years driving rigs my back is stuffed even with good air ride seats. We typically run KW's, Macks and euro rigs over here, hard to find a Pete here. As for flat tops, not a big thing over here for long distance drivers.
Take it CCC trucking gone bankrupt or something alot of there plant at one auction The black CCC Trucking one with the lockers on the headache rach looks minty definitely be my choose
Loved the weathered long-nose Kenny. On Cablecraft shift cables: it’s possible to drill and install grease zerks then use a grease gun to force decent quantities of lube into them. Not done it myself but apparently it’s quite a common fix for old and seizing Cablecraft installations on Foden S10L7s and 4000 Series that were similarly blighted with them 😆
I used to love those Freightliner Columbia when I first got into trucking! Most had 9NZ C15 or some had C16 and you could get them for $15,000. A lot had the Eaton autoshift and the autoshift would go bad so they'd sell them cheap. I'd buy it, remove the autoshift and put a regular shifter top plate on the trans and make it a full manual. When they broke down you just bought another! I had about 5. The interior was garbage and the wiring worse, but they had a pretty good driveline and were really comfortable with parabolic front springs and Neway from factory.
Hey, so that is a 378 because it has a fiberglass hood. The 379 is an aluminum hood short hood or long hood. If you want to do the the little big hood conversion you need to make sure you buy a 379 short hood w aluminum hood
I think it is great to watch you do actions. Those are some of my favorite episodes. That is actually what got me into your channel. If I ever do a UA-cam channel, I will probably be like every other truck UA-cam channel and copy and still your Ideas. There has to be 1000 of truck UA-cam channels. And a lot of them are all kinda of the same. But you do actions which is great. Thank you for doing these walk around. I was really hoping you would have bought that Freightliner "pork chops express". When I was a kid I liked that movie because of that truck.
Flat tops are definitely cooler. But I also only stay in the truck 20 nights in a year. Mines is also only a 36 inch bunk. But also I think that also makes it cooler. I've got window covers that attach with suction cups so I can change with the curtains open. Also keeps it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Hi Mark & Mrs.Twin Stick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Mrs.Twin Stick & Friends & Randy & Super Cool Video Mark Thanks Friends Randy
That black pete with the stripes and the C15 was shutting down of whatever that check engine light is. My dads old c15 would shut itself down in an instant with low enough oil pressure, or if the ECM saw another issue. some companies will add timers to keep down on idle, but I definitely feel like that one shut down bec of a issue.
Hi Mark, any chance you could overdub Fred barking on your intro as you drive past in Snowman. My son does the bark every time and always asks me why it’s not there. It would make his day next Thursday if it happened. Thanks. Love your work. James
Howard the duck volvo wia64t . i love that truck i wish it was the none aero hood version i think would be wil64t , anyway thats what i learned to drive in
Those Coronados, apart from being garbage and ONLY available with a Detroit, had SO MUCH ROOM in the cab! The high roof had a compartment above the windscreen that you could run chickens in if so inclined! I couldn't get over the cupboard space and all the hidey holes.
(Howard the duck)Morning Twinsticks Garage family ❤.... wooooooo hoooooooo....on the hunt💙❤️.. quick question...when you go to the auctions..do you have a price range that your willing to go to IF U find something you like....and also. I think it's sad that a person could buy some of these trucks,invest 20-30 grand in them and still be under the price of a new truck these days...it is what it is...but dang... anyways....thank you Mark and the whole twinsticks garage family ✝️❤️🇨🇦💙🇺🇸✝️....btw...I cheated on the end credits 😂😂
I don’t care about the improved aerodynamics of moving the air filter under the hood I like the looks of them where the good Lord intended them to be and that also includes split flat windshields
Hey Mark, nice trucks in this one. The movie at the end of the video is "Howard The Duck". Sorry for being rude and nosy, but is the Porkchop Express Part 2 video with the 88 FLC coming to next week? Just though I'd ask. The suspense is killing me! Just a joke. Please and Thank you.
To idle up a C15 you press the speed increase button on the cruise control. If it doesn't have cruise control you have to open the door periodically and blip the throttle. It's a bitch when you're unloading grain through the grain chute for an hour or so and the truck keeps shutting down.
Oi twinstix, I'm moving back to oilberta at the end of september. Maybe we'll bump into each other at ritchie bros some time. I look forward to gettin back to parkland county. Been missin my family lately
So a question for you Mark, if you did have the funds to buy one of those black 379 Pete’s, what would you do with it as in, put to work or build a show truck?
My father drove a early 70's Brockway. Do you ever see them for sale? It was a cool old truck with duplex shifters. What do you think of them? Great videos keep up the good work!

You’re 12 and you have two frickin trucks?
Alright! Good start to my Thursday, looking at unaffordable toys.
Oof that green. Can you imagine sitting in there for extended periods and waking up to it daily? I couldn’t.
I know it's hideous
Green kenworth bumper cut matches the visor. Nice touches I can appreciate
throwin in a clip from Howard the Duck...nice!
Love the on the hunts. Like seeing the older trucks and just how much they have changed thru the years.
Mark, of all your movie references I don't ever recall you mentioning the 1998 "Black Dog" movie with Patrick Swayze. Or have I just missed it? Either way, It has to be my personal favorite in that category.
I LOVE that movie. It was one of the first trucking movies I saw as a kid. I still quote it all the time and no one gets the references. “I shouldn’t drink apple juice, it gives me gas.”
Dig the auction walk around with the prices. Make me salivate and think “maybe…”
Lime green has Brampton written all over it.
It drives me when they put them stickers on the headlights!! That green KW sold pretty cheap I thought. Nice work on the vidja buddy
Good an you?
Save Harvest to and your family

@@TwinStixI love the flat tops.....but get that 990 out of here!!!...come to America.....the Midwest is crawling with deals
Is it really an Argosy?

2:44 that is from bill and Ted’s excellent adventure right?
32:01 you don’t need to worry about the Bluetooth filler neck
Mrs. Twin Sticks would look good in that Limo .
the black 379 would make a good black dog themed truck

Cheers from upstate NY! Keep these videos rolling they are very enjoyable to watch!!
I'd like to see you build a Black Dog 379 from the movie with Patrick Swayze and Randy Travis. Cool old Pete used in that movie.
Of all the trucks their I wood rather have little by little way cool truck easy to work on and no def iam all about old trucks you you got the best😊

Hey Mark that lime green w900 it's oil pressure is normal isx run high volume low pressure.
I love in the hunt episodes

Good ol howard the duck lol.
Thank you for your great videos, I am just getting into truck driving with a Hydrovac in B.C. 🇨🇦. Long Time fan.
Hi idle on the cruise control
34:43 My dad had a cab over Freightliner that was a 1993 Scales fleet tractor back in 1995.

cruise control on, speed up on the accel/decel button to idle up and down. Press the clutch to stop
Howard the Duck. I thought I was the only one that remembered. lol.
Twinsticks to idle up some of the early 2000s trucks turn on and set the cruise control for higher idles.
Really like the video luv looking at all the trucks 🚛🚛🚛 thank you
Nice a new twin sticks video
The driver stack not hooked up is the "driver comfort" option, it actually cost extra, best part is they also charge extra if you want it hooked up
Thanks Mark for showing us most of the big trucks at the auction. some went for 7,000 cheaper than a new ford truck.. buy a big rig and a 800.00 car and go with-it..
The flat nose white kw would be super cool with a box on the back for camping in
IMO, the Coronado is the last glimpse of what Freightliner used to be. I don't love the Coronado but compared to the endless Cascadiastans driving around, seeing a Coronado does make me smile a little. I don't think it's any more or less offensive than the new Peterbilt 589.
Myself I prefer the old flat glass and flat top trucks like my 84 w900 you just can't beat them keep up the good work brother and keep on trucking my friend
Add 10 years and a long hood, and that's what we're talking about!
I like mine just fine especially with the big kitty cat in it
I’ve got a 02 with 6nz 18 speed flat glass. I kinda like my ole truck
@@michaeljestice4234 as long as you like what you are driving it don't matter what you have just keep enjoying it my friend

Love a good 'On The Hunt', last one was blessed with ole' peggin' leggin'
Take it CCC trucking gone bankrupt or something alot of there plant at one auction
The black CCC Trucking one with the lockers on the headache rach looks minty definitely be my choose
Flat tops certainly do look cool, and are fine for long haul, I didn't have any trouble with them.
That’s cause you’re cool 👍
Howard the duck . Cool … lol .

I’m with you I love the flat top look! U gotta set the cruise control and the timer won’t shut it off
on the green w 900 those are chops on the door the speaker by the drivers seat is the c.b. external speaker
Hey, so that is a 378 because it has a fiberglass hood. The 379 is an aluminum hood short hood or long hood. If you want to do the the little big hood conversion you need to make sure you buy a 379 short hood w aluminum hood

You have to turn cruise on and hit the set button a couple of times to get it to idle up
I agree with you Mark I would duck my head to look cool.
If you turn on the cruise control and either press the fuel pedal and press the Resume, you might be able to up the idle overriding the auto-shutdown.
Great video a lot cool trucks , that clip is from Howard The Duck .
Flat tops are definitely cooler. But I also only stay in the truck 20 nights in a year. Mines is also only a 36 inch bunk. But also I think that also makes it cooler. I've got window covers that attach with suction cups so I can change with the curtains open. Also keeps it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
You should have known when you looked at the oil pressure it was a Cummins😊
End of the movie of Howard, the duck
I like the pipes with the flaps on them,I'm old school 🚸 😊😊
All the Alberta Clay!! 🤣🤣LoL!!!✌
you idle up these newer trucks by setting the cruise
That light on the black truck means it's low on coolant
That vinyl floored truck smells, could it be that coffee cup left in it? 😂😂
When I started driving in 1985
We had flattop trucks
With sit in sleeper
No walk in
And that was plenty of room for us back then
New generation’s gone soft 😂
Hi Mark & Mrs.Twin Stick & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mark & Mrs.Twin Stick & Friends & Randy & Super Cool Video Mark Thanks Friends Randy
Don’t be that guy that sits in the seat with no air. What’s next, driving with no shoes?
Agree. I always preferred being up where I had good visibility and let the air seat absorb some of the bumps instead of sitting hard on the floor.
Love the videos. From the looks of it that black flat top 389 didnt have the stack hooked up
Mark hi from Yorkshire England sitting with the air seat right on the floor after some time it will take its toll on your back 😢
That black pete with the stripes and the C15 was shutting down of whatever that check engine light is. My dads old c15 would shut itself down in an instant with low enough oil pressure, or if the ECM saw another issue. some companies will add timers to keep down on idle, but I definitely feel like that one shut down bec of a issue.
Howard the duck love that movie
Lol Howard the duck. I haven't seen that in yrs

The turbo timers have override to allow extended idle and usually have 1,3 and 5 minute idle times at the push of a button.
Use cruise control to set high idle.
The engine light and low coolant will make it shut down
Some nice trucks, when do we find out the answer to the cliffhanger from the last on the hunt?
Pork chop express Episode just dropped on Patreon 👀
Howard the duck volvo wia64t . i love that truck i wish it was the none aero hood version i think would be wil64t , anyway thats what i learned to drive in

2004 lime green is about the same color as Chad Keegans Frankenstein. But he's sanded and primed it already. Have not seen where that's going.
You got to idle it up turn on the cruise control
The only advantage to the fake stack is it helps the chrome stay clean because the DEF corrodes the other exhaust and tarnishes the pipe.
