When I was 17 yrs my dad took delivery 1981 international transtar 2 coeit was brand new from cornhusker international trucks in Lincoln Nebraska I rember riding in the new truck on my way home with my late father I can still hear power from the ntc350 Cummins turbo diesel and 13 speed road ranger transmission what a ride
At 6:15... The Kenworth K100, a flat front cabover truck which the narator describes as having a "strikingly long hood". REALLY?! Who produced this? EVERY brand described as tough and capable, engineered for long life and designed to look bold and rugged. You mean none were built by struggling nearly bankrupt companies, with inadequate engineering reasources, outdated barely capable components overstressed and prone to frequent breakdowns, with miserable driving positions that drivers hated, and hopelessly outdated styling? Why aren't all of these fantastic producers still in business? Like most industies, truck manufacturing is VERY competitive... the strongest survived and the niche players could not compete.
I'm sorry Sir. Some takes are merely illustrative as it is difficult to find content on this topic on the internet. But even so, you can enjoy the video and have good memories with some of the trucks.
