I just don’t understand why they don’t clean up some of those trucks better before running them through the auction unless they just get that dirty sitting on the lot. That first Pete was filthy, a truck like that would probably be a night and day difference shined up. 🤷♂️
Those old Detroit V8s might just be my favorite old diesel engines. I'd run a 3406 or big cam Cummins for actual work, but nothing beats the sound of the old 2-stroke V8s.
One of the drivers that I worked with in the early 80’s was getting about two deer a week. The shop put a set of those on his tractor and he upped his average by one a week. He was so well liked I was convinced the shop put them on backwards to get the deer to come to him. Those were the days.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 couldn't ask for a better afternoon with the day off.. I think a lot of us are as excited as you! Next up 2025 Maddison wisconsin ATHS SHOW?
Hi Mark another great on the hunt episode...here in Australia we call them "shu roo's" evidently they keep the kangaroos away...I've got 2 on my ute...love your stuff down under and down Richie
Good morning Mark! The 389 with 2 dummy stacks was ordered with the grass burner to avoid having the oversized DPF box on the passenger side of the truck. So it has "old school" looking boxes under both doors, and if a guy was going to delete it, all you'd have to do is cut the round dpf out and put in a Y pipe and connect the dummies. Just a cleaner look for the new junk 😂
1:34 I recognize that truck, last time I saw it was in Sherwood park at the flying J with a load on. I have a picture of it on my roadshots account. Looks fairly decent still
I have a 1986 FLC 120. My wife bought it for my birthday. I don’t get to work on it as much as I would like since I am a heavy hauler. She knew my favorite trucking movie was Big Trouble in Little China.
The original truck from the movie last I knew and seen it is still in Maine. The owner used it hauling wet lap out of woodland mill. Last seen it was a few years back.
awsome video mark love the on the hunt videos that one cement truck seen better days thats for sure still can be usefull to the right person thumbs up and shared
There are lots of cool old trucks sitting in yards around Calgary. I had a 86 Freightliner that was mint as I was the second owner. That truck is still hauling grain in sask to this day.
Finally!!! After i emailed you over a year ago!! YES!!!!! U gotta do it buddy. PORK CHOP EXPRESS. U never see them! Your the man for the job! Please!!!
That old 359 short hood Pete reminds me of my dad's '76 359 he had many years ago with a Big Cam III 400 HP Cummins engine and a 13 speed transmission. Plus it had the 36 inch crawl in coffin sleeper too
❤ Great chanel I drove big rig cross country for 10 years And I still miss it Love all the old tricked out rigs from the past These new drivers dont know how good they got it with all the newer air ride trucks and trailers They ride like a Cadillac now days
That old Motorola in the Detroit look like a 2 channel company radio. Old tomato trucks I drove in the 90’s had a north and south bound channel. Like the old cop dispatch radio.
Live 20 min from innisfail where that freightshaker was, always was curious about it too. Know that Pete quite well too, drive by it quite a bit in the summer
Oh, the whistler pods definitely work if you put the right side and left side on the correct sides. I have used them for years on my personal vehicles to. And with out them you will see the difference.
Love it! You need to get that trans am sorted for Mr's Twinsticks before you buy anything else, or you're going to be toast Mark! 😅 Great vid, great chanel 👌🍻
Morning Mark... Wooooooo hoo..double deal, thanks giving (in the states)and twinsticks garage....ahh hell the turkey can wait.. Twinsticks Garage is way more important!!🇨🇦❤✝️🇺🇸🦃😎
Hi mark enjoying all your videos love watching u going the auctions love old kenworth s u have a big fan base here in Australia thanks for showing us all your hard work
So let’s say you did take on this rig as another project one day. Imagine rolling up to a truck show with a hairy replica of the monster crawling up the back of the truck, lol, that would be amazing!!!
Another great video Mark and Happy Thanksgiving ❤❤❤. The Rubber Duck from Lima, Ohio Checkin in. Those Deer Whistles as my Grandpa called them actually do work. He had them on all his cars and his Motorcycle ❤❤❤. That Ford with the Detroit would be an great candidate For a Sleeper road tractor.
Yeah, looking at more toys, but you already have lots of toys including one that you are currently repainting and a Pontiac Trans Am to build. That 389 with the dual headlights, external air cans and "dual" exhaust reminds me of old Plymouth Dusters. Many of those Dusters were equipped with the slant-6 engine, but then an owner would repaint them to look like a 340 Duster. They had the look, but nothing under the hood.
The game whistle or deer whistle do work. I worked for trucking that put those on all their truck. I have a set of them on my personal vehicle and I drive home at night in deer areas and they stop where they are
Ive got a truck that looks almost identical to the truck in the video but with a 42 inch sleeper. 1987 FLC120 white, aluminum rims, 3406B pushing about 550hp, s410sx turbo, 3.90 sshd 44000lb rears, 13 speed, aftermarket grill, projector headlights. We are in the middle of a restoration. Going to use it pulling super-b grain trailers hauling conola meal starting summer of 2024 in Alberta.
Hey Mark, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from Tomball, Texas. Thanks for sharing a video today, I always enjoy the auction videos keeping me busy while the Thanksgiving feast is cooking.
Hey mark I’m down here in the Caribbean on vacation. Loads of old American trucks down here blowing tons of black smoke. Cool trucks but the air quality is horrible. Another great episode
In Denmark we call them Deer Whistle, and yes they do the job. I've hit 2 deers with my 2022 Scania, and we put a whistle on because I don't want to smash the front a third time. The do the job just perfectly
Don’t know if those whistle devices work or not but Greyhound used to have them on their buses in Canada. Can’t see if a large company like that would waste money on something if they hadn’t checked out that they worked or not.
The deer whistles are dangerous The deer hears the whistle Wherever he's standing He'll stand there trying to figure out where the noise is coming from Even if its in the highway
Company i work for run ke and Pete they got rid of the paccar powered tractors sad it is too expensive to maintain the motors. They have good luck with cummins power not a lot of issues at all.
Those small items on the front of the Petevare called Shu-Roo’s. Invented in Australia as you say to put off ultrasonic sounds that move the animals on. Some old outback drivers still swear by them, but as you say, rarely seen these days.
That 359 appears to have the severe service cab, judging by the solid pillar in between the two halves of the windshield. Looks like a great candidate for restoration.
That one clip where they put in gear in A automatic service truck and it starts going back; the quick let’s go it started to oh shit it’s rolling had me dying
Hey Mark I watched a guy who went to the caterpillar Booth at MATS this year in Louisville. Cat now supports engine's past the 3406b the blocks are cast in Mexico then machined in the states. So if someone with 💵💵💵 can always have a old school engine.
Dear TwinStickGarage Mark P. 👍👌👏 Interesting hunting video. I wonder why the owner of such an old, rusted through and heavily rodent damaged truck bothers to sell it via auction? 2) Unfortunately/Fortunately you didn't get the trucks you laid your eyes on. Too expensive anyway. Maybe also a marriage saver!? 😁 ;-) You're absolutely right: First finish your 3 projects (Snowman is nicely done, so it doesn't count as a project any longer). But the Trans Am definitely counts. I'm eagerly looking forward to see "Little by Little" finished. Of course is your prize winning Snowman replica truck a fantastic stunner. But somehow LBL it is still my favourite truck because this rig is what originally brought me to your channel. Good ol' times, sigh. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 PACCAR engines…really not sure what to think of them. I know that I DONT like the def junk! It’s one of the worst things they could’ve required. An old Ford with a Detroit engine…Oh,Yeah! That one looked quite good! I’ve been in a few smoker’s trucks…YUK & it’s hard to get all that smell out! The Porkchop Express…that would be a good tribute truck to have. Freightliner made some cool trucks back in the day & that was one of them. Hey, do you need a wrecker or boom truck? I’m willing to hold it for you here in Ohio. LOL! I guess you’re always looking ahead for that other project that will keep you busy during the cold winter months, right?! Gotta have room for them. Blessings my friend!🥰😎✌️
I had that exact bagged front on a 389. Worst front suspension ever. You hit a sunk culvert in a back road or pot hole it will flip the leveling valve rod and dump your air. You can just pop it off spin it and pop it back on in 15 seconds but its a pain in the ass

Well, Mark, after a Pork Chop Express, all you’ll need is a 1979 Kenworth K100 Aerodyne (BJ and the Bear) and you will have the ultimate collection.
What trailer would Mark put behind the Pork Chop Express?
Plus a black Mack RS700,a rusty 1955 Peterbilt...........😊
White line fever
I would love to see Mark do a BJ and the bear truck.
How silly of me to forget the Rubber Duck.
Loved seeing the Jacobs logo , the original Jake brake! Not many original 'jakes' here in Europe these days! 😢
OMG!😂. Was that Ron Jeremy delivering a pizza at 9:32. Only an ole dog would know about him!
... and whaddya bet the girls didn't have enough money to pay him! 😆 🤣
Ron, the hedgehog, legend :):):)
I just don’t understand why they don’t clean up some of those trucks better before running them through the auction unless they just get that dirty sitting on the lot. That first Pete was filthy, a truck like that would probably be a night and day difference shined up. 🤷♂️
Loved the old cord with the Detroit. Also classic Ron Jeremy 😮😮😮😅😅😅
Those old Detroit V8s might just be my favorite old diesel engines. I'd run a 3406 or big cam Cummins for actual work, but nothing beats the sound of the old 2-stroke V8s.
Oh my god, the Ron Jeremy scenes made me laugh! And the Eddie Murphy Raw too! Awesome cut away work sir!!
One of the drivers that I worked with in the early 80’s was getting about two deer a week. The shop put a set of those on his tractor and he upped his average by one a week. He was so well liked I was convinced the shop put them on backwards to get the deer to come to him. Those were the days.
Wow, an 8V-71 turbo! That's a badass truck!
"Oh, oh, yeah!" Classic Mark, channelling his fans' enthusiasm!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 couldn't ask for a better afternoon with the day off.. I think a lot of us are as excited as you! Next up 2025 Maddison wisconsin ATHS SHOW?
On the hunt!! YES!! Thanks Mark!
Hi Mark another great on the hunt episode...here in Australia we call them "shu roo's" evidently they keep the kangaroos away...I've got 2 on my ute...love your stuff down under and down Richie
Big Trouble in Little China is my of my all time favourite films, the actual Pork Chop Express is now in the UK having spent time in Europe.
Happy Thanksgiving from the States Stix! Been watching from the beginning and what a wonderful Turkey Day tradition to wake up with ole Twin Sticks!
Good morning Mark! The 389 with 2 dummy stacks was ordered with the grass burner to avoid having the oversized DPF box on the passenger side of the truck.

Interesting 🤔
Big Trouble in Little China was one of my favourite movies growing up.
You keep teasing a Pork Chop Express.
1:34 I recognize that truck, last time I saw it was in Sherwood park at the flying J with a load on. I have a picture of it on my roadshots account. Looks fairly decent still
Love the Jeremy outakes for the Ford flatdeck- What did you tell your wife, Mark? “I’m just researching outakes for my videos!!! 😂😂😂😂
Dang i love these on the hunt videos!
LMAO!!! Ron Jeremy...😂😂😂Ohhh yeah ppl do twinsticks some solid..and smack that like 👍 button....
I have a 1986 FLC 120. My wife bought it for my birthday. I don’t get to work on it as much as I would like since I am a heavy hauler. She knew my favorite trucking movie was Big Trouble in Little China.
I love that truck!!!
The original truck from the movie last I knew and seen it is still in Maine. The owner used it hauling wet lap out of woodland mill. Last seen it was a few years back.
Yes, please do the Pork Chop Express
I remember deer whistles. I don't think they ever did much, because it seems like the sound is going to be mostly behind the vehicle.
That old Detroit sounds awsome.
I cant believe you walked right past that beautiful Sterling 1:18
On the hunt episodes are my fav :)
Thats an older 359. Shes got a Unilite "little window" cab, nice!
awsome video mark love the on the hunt videos that one cement truck seen better days thats for sure still can be usefull to the right person thumbs up and shared
Man that old freightshaker was cool classic but the 359 short hood is my style with that short bunk 😎👍
There are lots of cool old trucks sitting in yards around Calgary. I had a 86 Freightliner that was mint as I was the second owner. That truck is still hauling grain in sask to this day.
Your attitude regarding automatics....
is commendable!
Too cool! I wish I could snoop in person! Thanks for taking us with you!!
one of my Favorites the Freightliner FLC 120 1977-1987 nice truck
That old Ford 9000 is a long way from home. Love your On The Hunt vids and your explanations of the different models.
One of my favorite movies, Used Cars. a classic.
as much as i love your project videos i love these on the hunt episodes so much, great video as always man. Love from scotland
You don't see those old Fords with that custom interior very often. Awesome stuff. Truck market is really dropping fast!
That's awesome Mark. Happy Hunting. That would be a great project build there.
Finally!!! After i emailed you over a year ago!! YES!!!!! U gotta do it buddy. PORK CHOP EXPRESS. U never see them! Your the man for the job! Please!!!
Keep doin' what Ur doin' Mark, it's all good!
That old 359 short hood Pete reminds me of my dad's '76 359 he had many years ago with a Big Cam III 400 HP Cummins engine and a 13 speed transmission. Plus it had the 36 inch crawl in coffin sleeper too
❤ Great chanel I drove big rig cross country for 10 years And I still miss it Love all the old tricked out rigs from the past These new drivers dont know how good they got it with all the newer air ride trucks and trailers They ride like a Cadillac now days
24:05 make that thing purr🔥
That 359 would be a good candidate for a cut off on the rears. Update to modern axles and no rust. 20 for the freightliner seems too high
That old Motorola in the Detroit look like a 2 channel company radio. Old tomato trucks I drove in the 90’s had a north and south bound channel. Like the old cop dispatch radio.
How cool was that getting to cold starts. Always love on the hunt episodes. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
Love that Ford flatbed with the 8V 71!
Oh boy I feel an addition coming on your barn there for another show horse Happy Thanksgiving Mark to you and your family
Live 20 min from innisfail where that freightshaker was, always was curious about it too. Know that Pete quite well too, drive by it quite a bit in the summer
Its all in the reflexes!!!
you allmost have to have those air whistlers behind screens.one bug plugs the hole,the air blows thru to make the sound.
Mr Mark. Your to good to us viewers. Thanks for the leisurely stroll through the yard, as always ur a classy fella. Stay 👌. ❤ from pnw oregon
The pork chop express is when I started really looking at frieghtliners and liking them
Oh, the whistler pods definitely work if you put the right side and left side on the correct sides. I have used them for years on my personal vehicles to. And with out them you will see the difference.
Thanks Mark awesome video. You and your family. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
in that Louisville Ford that Motorola radio was a fm business band radio
A black Western Star 4800 with red stripes, circa 1978 would look quite cool as well.
"Outlaw" written on the side...
Love it! You need to get that trans am sorted for Mr's Twinsticks before you buy anything else, or you're going to be toast Mark! 😅
Great vid, great chanel 👌🍻
Morning Mark... Wooooooo hoo..double deal, thanks giving (in the states)and twinsticks garage....ahh hell the turkey can wait.. Twinsticks Garage is way more important!!🇨🇦❤✝️🇺🇸🦃😎

Check out Appell equipment sales may find the Freightliner you're looking for
As a Freightliner fan, I hope this project comes to fruition.

In the words of peg that old Ford is mint👌
I really appreciate that you add the selling price. Thank you.
Don’t know if those whistle devices work or not but Greyhound used to have them on their buses in Canada. Can’t see if a large company like that would waste money on something if they hadn’t checked out that they worked or not.

Lolol the nope for the fake duel pipes got me laughing 😂
My work has a 2916 567 heavy haul with a ISX Cummins with 280,009 miles and it already needs a in frame and already had the trans replaced🤔🤔
Those small items on the front of the Petevare called Shu-Roo’s. Invented in Australia as you say to put off ultrasonic sounds that move the animals on. Some old outback drivers still swear by them, but as you say, rarely seen these days.
hello twin stick garage & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks twins stick garage friends randy
That 359 appears to have the severe service cab, judging by the solid pillar in between the two halves of the windshield. Looks like a great candidate for restoration.
As much as I like the project/ build videos.....these "on the hunt" ones are just as awesome 👍
There is a Porkchop truck out east of Dallas. TX for sale. Needs work, but I think he wants like 5 or 6k for it.
Another great video keep up the good work!
That one clip where they put in gear in A automatic service truck and it starts going back; the quick let’s go it started to oh shit it’s rolling had me dying
