Are you talkin about the swedish Peterbilt. LOL

The good news is that Kenworth has no plans to discontinue the W900 Kenworth stated that "as long as the B-cab models (T800, W900B, W900L, C500B, 964) can keep up with emissions, they will continue to offer them."

People all over the world still have a love for old semi trucks!

50K for the '58 is INCREDIBLE! If you look above the Kenworth logos on the hood sides there is 2 holes. Those are for the missing extremely rare "Canadian" emblems!!

I grew up in kenworths like that ‘58! Greatest memories a child can ever have.

These new Era trucks have no character. I love old trucks. They don't make them like they use to

Due the increased exhaust temps from burning the def they need those fish gills to pull in fresh air and lower the exhaust temp so it can't start grass fires.

Bigger issue is the DPF’s when it comes to exhaust temps. Takes a lot of heat to burn up all the soot inside. Combine a truck pulling a load down the highway and a rolling regen.. you can smell the heat coming off that sucker.

My favorite place! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

Mornin Mark, Great on the hunt video, You are sure right about trucks changing, we have a new star sitting in our shop and ya things have changed alot since the first truck I drove back in 1975. That 58 KW is a class act who ever redone that old girl put a huge amount of time and sweat into that piece of history and I could not believe the price it sold for, WOW!. Well I guess you should buy that old 66 up here in my area, haha and a new shop extension. Have a great week my friend say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.

Thank you for the video, really nice that old trucks.

That old KW was really nice!

My dad bought a new KW just like that one in red in 1962 for just over $12000. Had a 220 Cummins and a 4X4 trans. I spent my youth in that uncomfortable seat you talked about. Best days of my life.

Nice old lady on the end of this video , 1958 Kenworth needle nose.

Love that ‘58 at the end. Sweet. Enjoy these auction series videos Glad you have a nice shop to work in away from the freezing weather up there. Well earned and deserved. Appreciate your work and videos

That 378 gravel truck had a hydraulic tank paired with the fuel not def

Thank you Mark for the video. We have no E-logs where I work. We still use paper logbooks. I occasionally have to fill out a logbook sheet even w/ driving people around Orange County California.

The Duke is just fine😊

Always exited for on the hunt!

I can not agree with you more about these trucks. I love the old ones. You are always spot on. If I were able to order a brand new one today. It would come with a 13-18 speed with all the chrome and air canisters and real stacks. I just love the old trucks just as you do. I appreciate you and we have the same thoughts on pretty much everything. I have so much respect for you. I agree completely.

Thanks for the tour! I love looking for the old stuff too...makes the trip more fun searching for the next oldie!

Dude! I was literally just at the ritchie bros to pick up that red and black T800!!! Well, the sister truck beside it, you might not have seen it there if i already took it. It was the exact same truck in every way, except theres an extra button in mine under the dash thats how i know. My company flew me to Edmonton from Yellowknife to get it, that old Earl Paddock T800 is running the Ice roads north of yellowknife now!!! I can send you some pictures of me and my truck up here if you're interested, but i definitely got some pictures of that ol kw when i was there too haha, the star of the show for sure

The black Pete with the shiny fenders. It was a pride and class option. The grill was different too.

Thanks for the video Mark...insane truck prices, oh well it's only money.

It’s a pride and class model.

There are still so many guys that love the old look infact I would go as far as to say it is the majority. I guess most new trucks now a days are bought by large trucking company’s and maybe they aren’t selling how they used to. Great video as always.

These are always so much fun!

The fins like you call them are actually bunk extensions to help reduce wind drag between tractor and trailer initially put on to increase fuel mileage.

Thank you for adding the prices! All these big trucks are great!

The auction videos are gold!

Wow! I thought for sure that bids would fly in from all over. Guess money is too tight for toys now. I would has liked that purple truck too. Thanks for taking us to these with you!

I own a composite fabrication company and I have been talking with my business partner about developing a restyle kits for trucks. I was thinking about making a conversion nose to make the newer trucks look like the older hood trucks and I also want to develop aerodynamic hoods for older trucks to increase fuel economy. I want to offer complete kits with grills, headlights and accent panels. Imagine a 389 style hood on a 579

That was a nice little truck big enough to work small enough to play. Beautiful truck imagine a small Sleeper and a 4’ stretch aww man that wold be a sweet little-rig !!

31:31 This truck kinda reminds me of the Duel truck... the single horn, and the general shape of the truck, aside from the colour, the chrome, twin stacks and rear fenders. Pretty neat truck!

What a treat!!!👌🏽

Gentry and son is where I saw that video .Love your stuff keep it up pal .

That drive selector in the first freightliner is the same as the Mercedes trucks in Europe. Great video btw, always enjoy these ones.

I would love to see Mr twin sticks restored Old Mack gravel truck.

Don't you just love it when they put the stickers on the headlights and front windshield

Love your videos awesome❤❤❤❤❤ con tent

Awesome

Great catch Mark! The chrome hood trim on that black 389 indicates it's a "Pride and Class" package. Another fine production, keep up the good work!

Where have you been?!?😂. Love on the hunts. What first got me devoted to this channel. Great work!

I remember when they debuted the 379X. They only made a limited amount of those too.

All the trucks in NZ run full fenders on the rear like that 30:00 to save rocks and stones flying out so easy some trucks run brushes as well .

those narrow hood little window KW's have such an old school wicked look! and the '589' is supposed to be displayed sometime in may, heard that from a peterbilt expert

The brake pedals in the European Dafs were still upright like the old Kenworth up until a few years ago. A carry over from the Foden's

Yessss! On the hunt!

Great video, love the old KW! The 389 is being replaced by the 589 starting next year

@@TwinStix that 58 KW is the star of yard But I'm glad he did the updates .....Just imagine stock!!!!! IF YOU DID ...MAY I SUGGEST...A ROBOT SPINE?

Interesting.... at 7 mins, the Freightliner you got into. The steering wheel, some of the trim panels and that shifter control. All the same as a Mercedes Benz Actros like we have here in the UK.

So true that wear the good onee are

You have my vote keep the Iron Duke long custom wheelbase I love everything stretched however when pulling a trailer it get hairy

Someone definitely took pride in that 58 hope she went to a good home.

Mark those Pete’s that have the shinny fenders and the fancy stuff on the hood around the red dot are called “Pride in Class” they are very nice trucks. My last truck was a Pride in Class but it was a Black cherry color and cost me a third more

drove many miles across Canada and the states to get to see North America and got paid to see it too still Canada in the fall with the leafs turning colours still beats everything i try to keep south for the winter too

Like many people have said, the cutouts in the exhaust tip are meant to diffuse the tremendous heat generated by the self cleaning process of the Diesel Particulate Filter. It literally burns the soot it collects, turning it into ash. If you drive a truck that breathes through external cans you can hear the roar of those flamethrowers behind the turbos firing up to get the DPF hot enough to burn the soot off! Earlier engines had an extra injector and spark plug behind the turbo to make it happen lol.

The best Weed Burner I’ve ever seen was on a car hauler in the 80’s. It was pointed out the driver side of the truck…just at Miata height! 😂

No stack, no cans, no shifter-no class! Never a truer statement said!

The cutouts in the exhaust was probably the let some cool air in the mix with extremely hot air during dpf regen. If you look at the exhaust tips on your diesel super duty’s you’ll see similar holes.

I bet Ontario is pissed! He held out for SO LONG!

I like the w9 at 27:31 because as you could hear and see it already had some weight reduction

The black Pete 389 was a 389X the one with the chrome hood badge

Surprised that old truck went as low as it did . Sure is a beauty

Yeah…,,trucks have come a long way…..I couldn’t do 200,000 kms a year in an old school truck if they paid me double….and after shifting for 30 years I love my automatic

That nice steering wheel in the western star is a Mercedes item.

I am sure that the internal air filters lead to better aerodynamics and better fuel economy, but I agree that external cans look cool. No external air cans, no stacks, and automatic transmission is making heavy duty trucks more like giant pickup trucks. As Bob Dylan sang, "oh the times they are a changin".

Basically as i understood it the 389X is essentially an ultimate final edition truck like the 379x that came out around '04-05

389 pride and class Black Pete 389x has the same options with a chrome fenders and the drop panels like that the only thing that's different Winstead is the grill side emblem

so any chance Mrs. TwinSticks will let you do a Mack *Convoy truck without having to build you a doghouse to sleep in?...LOL keep up the good work and thanks for saving the classics

If I don't have it I can get it no problem I have a brother that owns a Peterbilt dealer

Hey Mark ! I'm sure somebody has already said that the black 16' 389 had the limited production Pride & Class package. Polished fenders, hood crown, louvered grill, hood spine etc. along with interior goodies and Pride & Class emblems on the sleeper. A lot of new 389 Pete's come with grass burner exhaust with fake stacks. I don't know if you follow Bruce Wilsons channel. He bought a new 389 that came with a grass burner exhaust. He also has a nice Freightliner cabover dubbed Blue Collar. The SEMI Casual channel customized his 389 and they do a lot of nice Pete's on their channel.

Hey mark that black 389 with the stainless trim, they are called a pride&class series, only they get the stainless trim and fenders, kinda like the 379 legacy (special edition)

It makes me sick to see those flip flops driving trucks. Don't see it happening. TY for sharing

First from Finland!

I am driving a Mercedes in the uk with the same steering wheel and auto gear selector as the freight liner

And that black flat top w900L with the pipes I seen at ufa in lloyd and pretty sure it was Fort Pitt that bought it!

The sleeper wings are for hiding hoses and headache racks

The A model would be my first choice they are a beauty !!!

Old school is great. Love them. BUT. I have bout 2 three year old Cascadias for my new company for $70 000 combined. Took another 17k to make them fully road fit. They aren't pretty..but I'm in it for less than half the price of a shook down clapped out long hood. I'd love a 379 or a w9 one day. But as long as I can buy a decent aero truck for dirt cheap I'll keep running them. But I love your iron Duke the most I want a coe so bad.

I can't remember whose channel I saw it on but they had took a picture of a square hood Pete , sitting outside the Texas plant .It had a curved windshield and a few other unique things. It was visibly not a 389 .

That old KW atthe end reminded me of spider Mikes semi from the movie Convoy.

50K isn't too bad for an old truck that looks like you could drive with no issues.

Is Mark going to build a 379 long hood some day? That would be very cool.

Truckers are getting older and new truckers are few and far between. IMO both benefit from just keeping two hands on the wheel and not worried about shifting.

I was there a few days before the auction, didnt get to see the old kenny, not sure where it was when i walked the lot. I went there just for it.

I think the holes in the exhaust are to let cool air in so it reduces the chance of burning brush when it goes into regen.

I have exactly the same truck in uk. But mine is 57 with4x3 twinsticks.

On the new 589 peterbilt there was a leaked picture with a square front end like we all like. But nothing official from peterbilt, the press pictures show front end more rounded. I guess time will tell. I thought we were a lot warmer than you till it snowed here on Sunday 😂😂😂😂

Hi Mark I finished 7 years ago uk 🇬🇧. They were bringing in auto box front facing cameras and driver cameras so at the end of shift you were debriefed on your driving . Retired at 55 not for me the future now I see trucks no wing mirrors 😕 what is the world coming too. Getting old I guess .keep up the restoration projects need more like you .
