04:57 I had one of them in my back yard as a kid, fuckin smoked a sh!t load of devils lettuce in that pr!CK!

The moment when you realise a dedicated three bay truck garage just isn't big enough! Wonderful looking at those old rigs, once someone's pride and joy.

Ya know, Mark, I've gotta thank you. You have re-awakened in me the love for big trucks that I had as a kid. These on-the-hunt episodes allow me to see a lot of the same trucks I used to watch drive by every day when I was growing up in the early 1980s. It's a bit little bittersweet to see them rusting apart, but I sure am enjoying the memories. I also greatly enjoy seeing you wrench on them, bringing them back to life little by little. Thank you kindly!

Happy & Sad. Happy to see all these beautiful cabs and sad to see the shape they are in today. Used to see all those shiny truck cabs lined up in truck stop parking lots, but now they are all lined up in old faded field yards. Thanks You for bringing them back on memory lane Mark

Enjoyed seeing the Mack cabovers and the Pete right at the end of the video.

Yep, they were SUPER cool!!

Peterbilt switched to hinged door handles around’74 on their conventionals. That is probably a 74 to 78/9 cab. Corvette dash came out to mass market in ‘79.

These old trucks remind me of my childhood. My grandpa would pick me up on his way through to California and I’d ride with him there and back during the summer.

Wow this is the best junkyard you've taken us to so far! Love that old early 70's White Western Star, definitely the truck I would restore if I had the means to do it. It's hard to find one of those Autocar "Drivers Cabs" that White used on them that's not thoroughly rusted out. I wish we could have seen the blue Kenworth cabover headlight area, that would have made it easier to narrow down a range for the year. The early 60's 500 series cabover had that large wiring access panel like this one under the driver's side windshield @ 24:01, but they had the cab skirt behind the front wheels which this one lacks. It was cool to see that one and the White Freightliner with intakes that went through the cab, that was definitely early 60's designs for them. Peterbilt had the intakes that ran down through the passenger side front of the sleeper on a lot of the 352 cabovers right up til '81 which was their final year. Glad to see you found all of those cool parts for the Duke!

Even with the cabovers, they were using every inch of length back then, because of the length laws. That’s why Peterbilt cabovers taper forward at the upper rear of the cab. It’s so the trailer can be pulled up tight to the tractor, and the top of the trailer won’t hit the tractor when it starts up hill. Take care and Happy New Year.

Absolutely LOVE these episodes! We are spoiled drivers today with all the comforts we have in todays trucks! Old time truckers are a rare breed indeed! Thanks for another walk through history!

The White redi-mix truck caught my eye. I have a 65, Cummins powered, former single axle tractor (now a dump box installed). It has the same trans setup and I use it to pull tag trailer for hauling my vintage equipment. It can be seen on my channel. Thanks for the video. The sad part is when properties like this get sold and “cleaned up”.

Love these boneyard walks so much better than those auctions

Always like your " On the Hunt" vids. Must be an older vid, that or the snows haven't come to Alberta.

yep ww2 4 ton chassis so probably 968 cargo trucks originally. they are a holy grail for parts specially the cabs and the air vents etc shame there not here in the UK as they would help mine and many other peoples projects along no end.

Like a little kid in a toy shop😉🤣👍 nice mark

Geez he really has a little of everything! Cool place.

I love America and trucks happiness to you

There are a bunch old cool trucks I love how they smell inside cabs many many years of service reduced to a pile of junk sitting on a graveyard I would like to tour places like this.

My favorite thing about this yard is how the trucks range from "a few pieces left" to "looks like you could fuel it up and drive it out".

Its Twin Stick day! awesome place you found.

What a fascinating/sad/beautiful place. Bet those rigs have some stories to tell

Wartime Ts & Whites were solid machines that built muscles and character... and still had the OD interior! Happy New Year, TwinStick & Co.

When I see a hunt/auction vid. I click.😎

Mark I love watching your videos and love semis and love little by little and smokey and the bandit and high balling yours truly lane roll on mother trucker

Cool

Love the old cabovers wish I had the time and money to rescue one. Looks like you had a successful parts hunt for The Duke.

I would be like a Kid in a candy store. Wow..Its a Shame too see them all setting there rotting away...Would love to find any of them to restore. If I was a Billionaire...LOL..HAHA..Thank You for taking us along. It has too be a pain to be looking and filming at the same time. I Thank You.. Great Video Sir. Glad you found some of the parts you were looking for..

I could watch on the hunt videos all day long, I just love old trucks. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the trip thru time. I enjoyed it.

Great "on the hunt" episode. Thought I saw a international paystar at one point. Real nice finds. Nice old pick up trucks aswell.

Just now finding your page. My favorite thing is the industrial gauges, bulky electric switches and placards on the dashboards. A Fun Video.!

Surprised to see a hino. My dad used to drive them In the 1980s in southern Ireland, I first went out with him when I was 6 and that was me hooked.

i really like the old busses as well😁😁 back when styling still mattered….

Mark in vintage truck heaven for a day! Plenty of cool sites to view and enjoy. Thanks for takin' us along for the trek.

Yes i love a tour around the old scrap yards some very interesting finds. Merry christmas Mark to you and your family.

Made a nice haul today and found some other cool stuff as well. Happy New Year🎉

Nice finds! I think Wayne (Ol2stroker channel) is restoring a Pete cabover with an integrated air intake sort of like what you're looking at. Basically works exactly like you described: has a rubber boot that seals the intake pipe to the top of the Donaldson filter housing when the cab is down. Keep up the good work, Mark.

Thanks for the walk through the beautiful Iron.

Thanks for showing us this, really enjoyed that..

Hello Mark, i visit them often in 2005 and 2007 when i had a day off. You could walk for hours.

bet there are some pick ups that people would love to see more of..thanks for the stroll and sharing your passion and enthusiasm...it is infectious..

26:07 I believe that's a KW 523, they predate the K100. A nice running driving 69 K100, aluminum frame, small torsion bar, 8V-71, twin stick, working rooftop A/C with 700k miles sold at auction two months ago here in Idaho for a measly $4200.

The 523 was a conventional, they had a bullnose also named that but this one isn't. I think it's a 1965 k100 or somewhere around there.

@@MidwestSteven1 I've been a truck mechanic since 1968 & for some reason believed there was another cabover between the 523 Bullnose & the K100 cabover. That intake stack in the cab sure is an odd duck, It'd be interesting to see the vin # on that truck!

The field of dreams awesome Love the K 100 project

i just love these junk yard trips, it is amazing how many old trucks were just parked for one reason or another and just waiting to be rediscovered.

Wow best “ on the hunt “yet what a treasure trove of iron ! So awesome you found those parts fo your projects.

Great old repurposer yard , good find on your parts 👍.

Mornin Mark, Great video would love to be able to walk some of those places, but my legs wouldn't let me get even a quarter of the way through there so I'm glad you do it and share it with me. Thanks my friend Happy new year see you on the next one.

Thanks for taking us along with you on the hunt . It's always great when you make one of these videos . It's sad to see the old trucks just sitting there rusting away . Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year for 2022 . Be careful and stay safe and keep on working on the trucks and making us more videos. As always, Jeffrey !!!

Great video! I was digging that Mack Superliner there at end. One of my all time favs. Keep it up Mark!

Really liked this "hunt" !! A lot of stuff lol. Thanks for taking us along! All the best for a Happy, and healthy New Year to all.

Friend of mine has a 58 kw non sleeper long frame . Sadly he passed away and his kids have it . Still sitting there. There is a cab over there too

Always a treat to hit an old junk yard especially one you have never been too lots of parts and trucks great outing 👍

Awesome on the Hunt,, hope there's pt 2 🤔KEEP ON TRUCKINGGOOD 👍☠️☠️👍

Love the time capsule that you have uncovered. Hope you plan on doing a part 2 to this on the hunt. LOVE your videos bro. And i hope you show that early 379 was hoping that you look on it.

Not sure if you read your comments but if you do I got to tell ya I’m watching all your back episodes. I sure look forward to meeting you. I missed the truck show this year as I’m out in BC looking after family issues. Your brilliant Twin Stick and your love for trucks rivals mine. I am absolutely amazed at your patience and especially your painting capabilities. It just comes so naturally to you. Man oh man buddy your so talented. I have a little place out in Spruce and an acreage in Kamloops. It would be a privilege to meet you one day. If I’m having a bad day , which are far and few between, but if I’m bummed out I watch one of your shows and I instantly feel better. You are medicine for the soul my friend. Seriously you make people feel better and give people something to think about. Believe it or not you have inspired me to “Little by Little” my old 2014 Ram 3500 diesel. I get compliments on that pickup now. I love it more than my new truck. But more than that you give hope that by true GRIT you can actually accomplish something. By the way I named my cat Little by Little. I just call her little. So when I meet you at a show you will know who I am. I’m the guy that named his cat after your 1979 Pete. Keep up the great content man. You help me stay sane. Stay warm. Regards, Jim

Enjoyed the walk-about, cool place. Glad you were able to score some parts. Happy New Year

I could spend days walking through a place like that.

My Uncle had a White tandem rear long wheel base with a boom and a winch I seen that rig pull a D-9 dozer out of a pond being dug with a thrown trac with the winch only we called it Mad Max .

awsome video mark lots of goodys there i see thumbs up and shared

My favorite videos on this channel. Like visiting a car show w/ that one old timer who knows everything.

21 minutes that’s a western star bunk! You gotta bring home or of those old stars to put that bunk to use. Freightliner stand up was a perfect flat top usually with two plates from where the guys took off the upper fairing lol

Wow there are a lot of gems in that lot! I could some of the regular 1 ton trucks as you were panning around and dang! Wish I was closer to that place.

Watching these videos makes me feel old because I can remember seeing the shadow lines 352, the super liner next to it and the cascade carriers cab over on the road back in the day!

So little time on the superliner! Lol I love those big hood & grilled rigs like that and gmc generals.

This was done a few months ago lol. Mark how glad are you to have the shop this last two weeks? Stay warm buddy!!

Wow saw the CCX trailer in the beginning and brought back memories of my dad, he drove for them the final years of his career.

So many memories. I drove one of those general’s and an Astro

Peterbilt Mike could use that K100 radiator cover. Cool old iron.

Extremely cool junkyard thank you

Wow even if it was only for a brief moment the diamond reo mixer truck brought back memories from my early twenties when I first got hooked on iron,the company I worked for had one of there first mixer truck(Diamond Reo)that they turned into a flat bed only drove it a couple times thank god it was not fun to drive a little wore out,but they had taken off the mixer part and put in the bone yard where I looked over it many times wondering what it must of been like to operate,always wondering what ever happen to it over the years,thank you for the flash back👍

Man that ford cl9000 cabover is a beauty

You should get ahold of gentry's and sons, hes looking for all kinds of different stuff, i bet he could possibly help you too. Love your you tub channel

I actually saw the Instagram post for this video so I kind of knew this one was coming soon as he got posted I jumped on the video so keep those videos coming twin stick garage

16:40 Someone's probably already said but those are Diamond T's buddy, would love them over here in the UK.

Peterbuilt Mike will be wishing he was there

Now that mercury cabover has got to be a gem....I don't think I have ever heard of such a thing...wow !

Cool old trucks love the white freightliners

Very cool old iron there Mark. Looks like you found some goodies for your trucks that you needed. Be cool to see what all you picked up. Another great video. Happy New Year to you you and your family.

Lots of memories walking through the yard. Oh to have an unlimited budget...

Always loved those two stack macks with a shack on the back. (Super liner)

I love these on the hunt shows, good stuff Marc, Aloha from the Big Island 🤙🏼 🏝

Great video love the old iron.

I love me a Mack superliner!!

Another on the hunt vid. Woot! Picked up Smokey and the Bandit on Bluray the other day ( yeah it was way past time for an upgrade) and dang the upgrade had me checking out details on the rig.

That mack mack cabovet was cool thank you for the on the hunt episode

Awesome video thanks just the old iron thanks I could spend hours in there fir sure thanks again

Those ole D model city buses...that's memories for me. They also make AMAZING RV conversions. I would have loved to see them a little more.

My dad had one of those old Chevy Step vans. It was an air force van that he converted into a motor home. We drove all over Alaska, Yukon and BC with it when I was growing up. Seeing that van sure triggered some memories

Great Hunt the ken worth flaps were nice

Wow, I wish I had places like that to explore...😮

Another great video brother. Happy holidays to you and yours🍻

I love those old Heritage sem

congratulations on the new shop love the vids keep it up i like to see the school trucks people need to save more of them

My 74 Pete had those same doors. They switched from the unilite style in 72. Love the on the hunt video's. Graveyards like that don't exist by me anymore. Those yellow one's looked like diamond t's from the late 30's
