On the Hunt for next Project Truck Ep. 1 Searching for the next project

#onthehunt #twinsticks #twinstickgarage
Daughter and I went truck hunting today and found some neat old iron. All are in my price range and I'm kind of partial to the 81 Kenworth with the Big Cam 400 and 6+4 spicers. Not crazy about the wagon wheels, but a newer clip with bags and buds would be a nice addition. Welcome your thoughts and comments about which one would be best to restore next once I'm done with my 359 Pete

    Third stick is for the winch. It’s a manual pto drive. Forward neutral and reverse runs of the a box so you have four speeds. You put your main in neutral select the gear you want in your aux then shift the winch into forward or reverse. Note if you use 1st in your a box and have the truck idling you can barely se the winch turn. If not in neutral can do lots of damage. On another note if you get that old girl I have a chrome oilfield bumper I could give you a decent deal on. And you could check out my old 92 W900L that I use for specialized haul.

    That green KW would be a great project. Probably wouldn't be too hard to get running again. You don't see too many of them with Dayton spoke wheels, so that kinda makes it unique along with having twin sticks. You might end up liking the Daytons later on.

The company was out of Denver Colorado. We were a meat hauling company. My great grandfather and his family up and moved over night to Phoenix Arizona and start from scratch with only 2 cabover freight liners out of the 45 trucks we had. The only difference is it’s a fiberglass hood and the yellow strip hooks down. Everything else is identical. The company name was Hudgins brothers and son co.
