Aside from the Fact my Dad's 2 1976 Kenworth W900 Bicentennial Edition Aerodynes are OTR trucks, and are still in Pristine Condition both with over 5.5 Million miles on them. There is nothing better than Classic Working trucks.

4:57 Crawl through… not today’s truck driver… it’s a Stuck In! 😂 Flip flop wearing embarrassments of humanity.

Love driving by this truck!

That’s a Big Cam 1 or 2. They came out about 1980. Those fuel tank caps were a drag. They leaked water down the stopper style screw. Torsion bar suspension where rated about 34,000 lbs, so not a heavy speck truck to start of with. They were an expensive suspension to maintain. It doesn’t appear to have a frame insert under the 5th wheel either. I definitely had a sleeper when new. The passenger seat was from a “ Splender Interior “ which was an upgrade in the day. Had stripes. The headliner is an aftermarket add on, as it would have had a “ Cyclolac “ plastic one. High mount Kyser roof mount is typical for the day. I think the “ Grilldenser “ came soon after. A nice representation of what Kenworth had to offer back in the day. It’s a mid set front axle, a full set back would have had a front sump oil pan.

LUV this type of content, I believe those are sleeper mounts just ahead and behind the lift axle on the frame , for that time period obviously a crawl through, Cool ole W9 SBFA 👍👍👍👍

My favourite trucks of all time the old W model Kenworths! Everything about them is on point. Thanks

I believe those passenger side steps are made from deck boards out of a livestock trailer.

Hi from France, i'm 64 now, still driving,i'm originally from Australia. What i remember about those old conventionnel cabs was that you could wind-up or wind-doxn the passenger side window from the drivers seat....and they had gearsticks or three....

I drove a 72 needle nose KW 335 Cumins turned up a little , twin stick 4x4, with torsion bar suspension and it rode pretty good, better than the leaf springs most rigs had back in the day

Nice W925 SBFA, gotta love that "Rockin' KW" bug on the grille! Does it run?

From the looks of the cab it's never had a sleeper and yes it was a heavy haul truck. Love the W-9's.

No ELD on that dashboard 🤜💥🤛

It tells a story, faided paint. I love seeing old school trucks

A W900 with the setback front axle, not something that seemed to really catch on for KW back in the early 70's.

at 00:27 segment... that suspension was Kenworth's "Torsion Bar" suspension, also known by nickname "Torture Bar" because of it's stiff ride.

Surprised how clean the engine is. I was told the torsion bar suspensions rode very nice, you just have to keep the greased. Glad you like the idea of not modifying it with a long hood, new frame etc. This truck is to well kept to mess with it.

Great find Philip that’s in pretty nice shape for its age. Thanks for sharing man!

It's a 1971 or older because the door handles went to the bottom of the door exterior in 1972.

Hope to see you again at mats

Beautiful classic!! 😎🤙🚛 cool video brother

Just deep clean er! An run er!

That I a front steer axle someone welded solid and turned into a tag axle.

With a spring for lifting it once they made it not able to turn.

It seen long hard use, but still solid under the skin. Don't know if that rear suspension can be revived.

That's all they had then was crawl thru the window in the back of the cab probably rolled down. Torsion when it was loaded road fairly good. Lot better than a Hendrickson. I believe that's a standard hood not a set back axle.

No it’s a set back I got 2 standard hood trucks that vintage. The headlight buckets are flush with the grill on mine those are set back some from the front.

My buddy has a 1964 1/2 needle nose pete . He stretched it and put milk tank on back.

これは潰せないやぁね☆

Question : do the serial numbers on the cab, and stamped on the frame rails match ? The number will start with a letter followed by 6 numbers, That’s how KW identified their trucks till the federal govt mandated 17 identifiers. I think it’s a truck cobbled together with what was laying around the yard.

I'd like to know if that Tractor had Brakes on the Steer Axle or not..... That thing ain't in all that bad of shape... I have worse looking Trucks than that on the Road now.... Being a 1969, I assume that would be an "A" Model KW, Correct?... Great Video!

Image 11hrs in that compared to trucks today.

I used to drive a 69 kw with off road fenders on her,called her shaky.lol

Set back axle , ibelieve that is A Canadian kenworth?? . The torsion bar rode pretty good , its no air ride !!!!

are you going to try and fix it

😁🇬🇸👍

Cut the old frame off. Put a new frame on there. Blue single in a Newark can I? Never you are framed, cause I'm nice and cleaners on there. Just that truck up good and nice and good to paint get some new get. A new on you. Yeah, well, you shifter, drop a brand new and nice Caterpillar engine in there and LA d lights on top of new stacks. Heavy crack in the back address that puppy up
