On this episode I was lucky enough to find an entire field of old trucks by talking to a few old timers and using Google Earth to find them. After making a special trip, I met the owner’s, two brothers who took over the business from their dad who started it back in the mid-70’s. What an incredible collection of old iron - I was like a kid in a candy store walking around. So many potential projects including a mint GMC General with an 8V71 Detroit that would be a great candidate for a Smokey & The Bandit Part 2 replica. Unfortunately, without additional room in the new shop for another truck, I was forced to just look for parts I needed for the #IronDuke, my 1979 Kenworrth K100 cabover truck that I recently started building. After walking the yard, not only did I find some junkyard gold including rare, impossible to find parts for my cabover, I also found some 22” aliuminum 10-hole split rings rims that I have been searching for to use on #ProjectSnowman, my Smokey and the Bandit Tribute truck. What a great day and special thanks to Trevor and Ryan for allowing me to walk their yard. Boy if some of these old trucks could talk, the stories they would tell…
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support!

@stevemcnally7655 2 года назад

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.

Just was thinking that when he was mentioning other projects 🤣

@N1RKW 2 года назад

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!

@steveray7770 2 года назад

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

@kingmanstudent 2 года назад

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.

@TERoss-jk9ny 2 года назад

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.

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

@captainmorgan1107 2 года назад

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!

@carlcarlamos9055 2 года назад

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.

@beardeddad74 2 года назад

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!

@oldamericaniron5767 2 года назад

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”.

I’m thinking they built patience as well, what with those small engines. Take care and enjoy a Happy New Year.

@joshkuhnert1492 2 года назад

Awesome stuff. Those Diamond T’s were sweet rigs. Really can’t go wrong with a Hercules Engine! In 67 White merged Diamond T and REO to create Diamond REO.

@VSigma725 2 года назад

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".

@jimtaylor4189 7 месяцев назад

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

@samuelgoddard5248 2 года назад

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.

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 .

@tbrusky61 2 года назад

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.

@nzsaltflatsracer8054 2 года назад

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.

@TwinStix 2 года назад

Hope you bought it 😉

@MidwestSteven1 2 года назад

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.

@nzsaltflatsracer8054 2 года назад

@@TwinStix Couldn't afford it, my piggy bank was already emptied into in my 51 Bubble Nose Freightliner (same year as me) & a V-903 Cummins.

@nzsaltflatsracer8054 2 года назад

@@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!

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 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👍

I'm sure she's long gone by now...anyhow when I watch and look n see these ole trucks I see that these were the original trucks of the open road ..and they were drove by the true truckers...I mean we have truckers today ..but honestly they/we don't compare to these guys ..get out of your nice air ride cabs with power steering ac and heat that works and electric wipers power mirrors...lol ..and climb into one of these ole beast and drive from Missouri to California and back to Boston one time....see how much you like them then... basically saying our trucker jobs of today doesn't even begin to compare to the truckers of yesterday....thanks Brother Mark and Twinsticks family ✝️🇨🇦...btw I loved them ole Ford,Mack and Pete 352 cabovers.... preciate y'all ✌️

Oh, talk about an all steel ride. There was no such thing as creature comforts. That Armstrong steering sure helped to get bigger pipes. Hand bombed a lot of the loads on and off. That air conditioner worked real good at sixty miles and hour, it just took you a couple of days to get there. Now a computer chip will leave ya stranded by the road.
