I have the same question, what’s wrong with Volvo’s? I’m from Europe like the American trucks, but the best trucks here in Europe are probably volvo’s/scania’s. American trucks are not so practical over here (to big and no dealerships for maintenance), is that the same for Volvo’s over in North America?
My volvo always seems to give me problems at this point it has a new transmission, rebuilt engine, new wiring and gauges for a truck with less than 500k seems like a lot. Where as my kenworth with a detroit has been basically bulletproof
Oh man ... a "Rooster Cruiser" .... brings back many memories ... "cluck, cluck, chicken truck" .... I LOVE this channel .... please keep up the great videos !!!
Bummer about missing that old twinstick Kenworth, but there will be others. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, and also for filming your auction excursions!
2:30 I like the color combination on that 2015 Kenworth W900, My mom says Green doesn't look good on vehicles, but in my opinion it is a good color especially for a semi truck.
Great Video! after the Project snowman's been almost done like old blue, you should try and nab a 1960 Peterbilt 281 and restore it to be a replica of the truck from Duel.
Love what you do keep up the good work twin six I'm a big fan of Smokey and the Bandit I used to watch it all the time with my dad my dad drove a 1973 large car repair belt I remember hearing the sound of the brakes what goes 10 in Straits keep up the good work Buddy keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down
1693 🐱 is a badass motor, I used to move cranes with a 75'Pete. Fuel was turned way up and the pipes were wide open, that truck would haul 45ton without even thinking about it, and sound good doing it.
Dude I love these videos. Growing up in New Zealand my dad was a truck and bulldozer nut we used to drive around industrial areas on weekends and look at truck yards and construction equipment. Watching your videos brought back some fond memories.
What part of nz you from? Ive got an old Canadian built western star tipper with an old Detroit and 15 speed If your around Tasman area I could take you for a drive if you were interested...
@@bush600r2 Hawkes Bay, but I now live in Brisbane OZ. Damn, I would have loved to have taken a trip with you. My father is a South Islander from Blenheim, he grew up driving dozers.
I really like it when you do these kinds of videos. I would love to spend the whole day roaming through the iron with you. I noticed the lime green and black Kenworth was still there, I remembered seeing that in one of your last videos. Don't get me wrong I love watching you fix up your trucks but these videos are just as entertaining. By the way I noticed another Channel did a tribute video about you and your Channel. I hope you got to see it it's pretty awesome to see you getting the recognition you deserve for such a great job on UA-cam and such a great person in general. Keep up the good work bud!
Sweet 74 KW, 350 Hummin Cummins, sad they don't make them like that anymore, lots of great memories from the end of the Golden Era of Trucking. Stay Safe Out there Drivers and Wrenches.
OOOoooOOOOOooooo! I love when you bring us along to these auction places! I yelled at you! Don't get in that truck! Stay away from those socks! Ack! Hopefully someday I'll get to go to an auction yard full of big trucks. The regular old scrapyard is all I get and I haven't had time for that in a few years. Thanks big guy!! Be safe!
Lots of times the trucks in the un-operable row do work. They just not safe enough to let the public drive it around the yard. I’ve put a bunch of trucks in that row.
Nice video! And yes, those single brake chamber need air to apply parking brakes. Once the air leaks all out, theres no parking brakes. With dual brake boosters, the one that are on trucks now, when you have air into the parking brake section, it compress the big spring and brakes are released. Once you set parking brakes, the air in that section exaust and the big spring decompress and apply the parking brakes. You were right
same thing happened down here in NY, a big auction co. called Roy Teatsworth ( RTI) used to have huge consignment auctions a few times a year for heavy equipment and tractors...now they are all online.
Great video awsome love to look st the old trucks not a big fan the long tall shifters but other than that rest is awsome some of the sleepers are huge thumbs up and shared
I noticed in the first Hayes you jumped into had a Tako clock you put a round paper discs in it it would keep track of your time what you did I haven't seen one in years
Like to see you get an old Pete like the one in the movie "Duel" [Speilberg's first pro movie {made for TV}]. Fun to watch you go with the enthusiasm and share the knowledge. Thanks! NOICE!
I'm loving your channel, I live in the U.K. Currently but I'm aiming to move to Grand Forks in BC in the next few years, I can't wait to see some real trucks!
I feel like I'm taking a course in old trucks every time you take us to the auction. Very cool. You mentioned that the seats were on the floor in the one truck partway through the video. I've always wondered why I see drivers sitting so low. Definitely has a cool vibe, but I figure you'd have better visibility up high. Going to have to get my license...
Yoh must have an obsession for those twin sticks. Your the only person i know that would prefer a twin stick over a standard single stick. To each their own though man. Good luck and god bless
Those are just short stroke service brake chambers the front drive axle should have the long stroke spring brake chambers my 96 k100 still ran short stroke on one axle they are legal as long as the measure out and don't leak
Yes, those brake chambers were only for brake application. If one had a tandem axle only one axle (usually the front tandem) needed the parking brake chambers, the other axle had the application chambers.
That rearmost axle has just single diaphragm service only brake chambers, the other chambers you mentioned are springbrakes for parking and service, usually just on one axle on north american trucks, alot of european trucks have them on all axles.
I would have give 5 grand for that Mack in a heartbeat. This damn virus has taken so much already and is still taking in one form or another. I hope the auctions come back...
Those single chambers are just service brakes, i had 3 or 4 W9's made in the n1990's that i ordered with just single chamber service brakes on the drives like that the other axle would have the big chamber parking brakes on the other axle
My 351 Pete has the same main box as that 923 kenworth. It’s called the flying 5th lol. And my auxiliary is the same as well. Dana/spicer 8341g. And yes the main box stick hits the side of my foot on the throttle haha
Yes. The pancake brakes (in Australia we call them runaway brakes) need air to apply. Lose air and they come off. Hence runaway brakes. Come put of the roadhouse and your truck is gone because you have an air leak.
I would've loved to have seen you fire up that old R model Mack. The interior was plain Jane, but that was their beauty, all about business and you can beat those R models all day and they ask for seconds. Park it at the end of the day, and it looks at you like, "Sheeeeet! that's all ya got?" I used to drive one. I'd say find an R700 and build a Rubber Duck for your next build.
It's real simple hand, drain the oil, pop the band clamp off and unscrew the nut holding the filter. Just make sure to put the new o- rings back where they belong( the new filter should come with a blow up diagram).
You know, for a Canadian, you're the most American trucker I've ever seen! Low seats and shifter extension's? Ifs hard enough to reach the switches and radio volume as it is without sitting on the floor. I may not be cool, but when you're in the saddle 14 hours a day I like to be comfortable.
@@TwinStix I drop mine every now and then to change position but I can't stretch my leg out straight at normal seating position. On the floor I'm really cramped up. Can't reach the radio or CB. I tend most of the time to tilt the seat right back like a lounge chair!
As Mator would say...”Truck shopping is Fun!” I’ve ever seen an ugly Kenworth. Are Hayes trucks pretty good? I’ve only seen pics and videos of them, never one in person. So, did you buy the old 63 KW? I was hoping that you got her. Some of those old trucks went HIGH, even in Canadian. Thanks for taking us out on tour with you! I love seeing old trucks still being used.
As a Heavy Duty Mechanic in Edmonton, its sure nice to come home from work and see a new project video from twin sticks
I love ,, Trailer Park Boys" cutscenes !
You can hear the passion in your voice when you see the old girls!
I love going to the sales with you.
Great video!!!!
"Ugh, ...Volvos."
A man after my own heart...
What’s wrong with their trucks? Are they not as good? Or is it just because they’re not a domestic brand?
I have the same question, what’s wrong with Volvo’s? I’m from Europe like the American trucks, but the best trucks here in Europe are probably volvo’s/scania’s. American trucks are not so practical over here (to big and no dealerships for maintenance), is that the same for Volvo’s over in North America?

Exactly. K100 needs to be next. 😉
Definitely a cabover! K100 KW, 352 or 362 pete. An old mack cruiseliner would be cool also.
I always love lookin at old trucks. That flat fender, needle nose was a beauty

Excellent show as always, reminds me the old days, had a 1974 900a with a 1693 cat and a blue ox exhaust brake, heavy old engine but lasted forever.

Amazing work sir . Keep building that bandit truck. She will be just as minty as Little by little.
I love old trucks! I worked at truck junkyard when I was a kid. There was old B model Macks with factory sleepers on them.
Definitely more fun in person at auctions.
I wonder if they will get less sales since the hype of being there bidding against others gets the prices higher.

I really enjoyed this man!!!! Thank you for letting us walking and look w you
I just watched the movie Convoy I say the next build is the Mack Rubber Duck. It’s fun spending your money
That first kenworth and that flattop Pete were mint
