The 1973 Kenworth W Model Finally Has Power Steering! 

Thanks mate should be good once it’s all done and a few good videos to go along with it Thanks for watching mate!

Hey mate thanks for watching! I still prefer the super singles on the front but I’ll take it out for a test with the standard wheels on and see how it goes. Yeah the fuel tank is probably a little too far foreward but the steering arm could also be moved forward a spline or two aswell. Thanks for watching mate hopefully I’ll have a few good videos up soon Cheers

Hey Matty, they were super helpful and had a good chat with them on the phone I’ve got it all sorted in my head I think. Yep hydrosteer are great lucky I’ve got about 4 other trucks that need power steering😂😉

Hey mate thanks for that, I gather that would be the day cab company? When I get up to it I might send them an email and see if they are interested in helping worst parts is the Aussie dollar and shipping cost! Cheers mate

A little close mate I reckon I can get it away from it abit and it won’t rub Cheers

Thanks mate! It sure is a lot of company’s arnt helpful or don’t give advice over the phone ect but hydrosteer were great the whole time!

Sure does I’m happy with the engine she slobbers abit but I need to adjust the injectors and rack and give it a good run and it may clear up abit hopefully

Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks mate!

It sure will be, and it will be well worth the time and effort! Yep I’m gonna do some videos of in the yards and abit of the clean up process as I won’t have much time for any other content for a month or two!

Thanks mate it sure will be I still havnt had a chance to take it for a test drive but I’m super keen to see how much of an improvement it is!

Thanks mate I hope so I can’t wait to use it and move some gear with it!

Yep always in the back of your mind it could be somthing else but I’m glad it fixed it, although I’m disappointed I havnt been able to drive it since I fixed it! It should be a good job and plenty of content I think a lot of people will enjoy it! I agree I hate scrapping anything I just have to recover some of my costs so I can buy fuel😂

I’m looking forward to the big hole conversion too, be interesting to see how you get on because it’s something I’ve never had to do. We use a similar riveter to that Huck gun, but we just call it a lockbolt gun, huck must be the brand. Expensive tool though, especially the Milwaukee ones! I take it diesel is as ridiculous for you as it is us? We call it liquid gold 😂🙈 amazing how it’s changed over the last 25 years, was cheap as chips, now you have to squeeze every last drop out of the tank mad max style😂🤙🏻

Great tips mate! I will make sure that I set them up like that to avoid any issues

@@dieseldownunder. your welcome dude, if more people helped give good advice the world would be a better place

Hey mate I will, I’m up here at the moment there’s so much stuff!

@@dieseldownunder. anything good for us down our farm way?

Hey mate thankyou I’ve been keeping a close eye on him so I can learn how to go about it! Cheers

Hey John I do apologise I’ve been very busy on this cleanup job, so sadly I havnt made any progress on the kenworth, and due to a few issues I can’t post any videos of the yard cleanup until it’s done, I’ve got a couple of weeks to go and I’ll be back in full swing! Cheers

@@dieseldownunder. you gotta make the cash 😀👍🏻

If it still had the factory crawl through there’s no way I’d cut it out but the back wall of the cab and front wall of the bunk have already been cut out in the walkthrough shape so there really any down side to doing a big hole conversion

Oh was it a factory crawl through? That’s a shame they cut it

@@SootyDiesel81 it was a day cab from factory, they added the low line bunk and the “factory” way to do it would have been to remove the window and install a ring and boot but they cut down between the seats to make a walk through and it does the job but it’s not perfect. So that’s why I’ve gone this way I can put a new back wall in and huck the rings in, the front wall is half way cut out of the sleeper already from when they made it into a walk through so this is the cleanest way to go about it, the next video I will explain it from inside the bunk and it will make more sense why I’m doing it
