Nothing better than a KW 900A and Detroit 2 banger. That sound is is like none other. That sure beats anything made today. My first truck was a 9500 Jimmy with a 3 18. Sure like to go back. Thanks for the great video.
I love those old 2 strokes. I just bought a 73 freightliner with an 8v71 turbo and drove it 800 miles back home. I loved every second of it, that old iron just wants to run... and piss oil lol. All the seals are dry rotted and will need to be replaced before I get her working as a revenue truck.
I think phone my dripped a little oil on my pants watching this video! I had to put a bucket under it the second time…. Drive like you’re angry! Love the truck. It brought back memories. The first truck engine I built was a 77 Pete, 8V92. I was 16.
Thank you bought back so many memories of travelling with dad in his 1974 KW cab over 8v71t! That there truck of yours is sweeter than. All the best from Australia 👍🏽
Very. Very nice time , to drive equipment in that time . I had a 270 wheelbase 80 Pete with a 525. Cummins and a 5 ×4. Manual. 370. Eatons. Love these trucks. E. Stolarz. Jr.
G'day from Western Australia ,,I grew up in the outback in the 60s and 70s and these Kenworths were legends some ran V8 two stroke Detroit's 350s and Cummins 444 big cam they did road trains with 3 trailers of cattle,,,, those were the days absolutely love old KENWORTHS ,,,,cheers mate 🇦🇺🇺🇸👍
Awesome W900 Long Hood Sir. It's even better that you and your son can make great memories together, doing something that you both love. I started driving at 19 and that was 48 years ago, and I'm still trucking, it will always be my thing! Great video thank you.
Cool truck , i have a 1973 with 36 " sleeper previous owner added twin turbos , motor is blown , putting a industrial twin turbo by pass blower after cooled 750 hp @ 1800 rpm .
My first truck was a 75 w900B, 318 Detroit, 13 rtoo, and walking beam rears. 36 inch coffin box with an all black Seattle package interior. Same Seminole paint scheme, except blue and that off white color. Full gages with jakes. One of the best riding and steering truck i ever drove, but really loud. It would bury the speedo, and keep on going. With no turbo, had to make a run at the western mountain passes. Climbing cabbage, down shifting untl 4 direct and 15 m.p.h.
Great video. Just subscribed. Absolutely love the father son Chanel’s and to see some old iron is even better. Nice to see you driving it like a normal person instead of ripping through the gears. Been driving longer than I care to remember but drove a bunch of detroits back when they were plentiful, ( the old detroits) but never a 12. You guys stay well and looking foward to more content. Ol 2 stroker will enjoy this Chanel I’m sure.
@@robertburke3316 well thank you sir, glad you enjoyed it. We hope to be making more videos on some of our other old classic trucks too. I hope ol2stroker see’s and enjoys it lol, that would be awesome
I had one that could have almost been a twin to this one. W924, 12v71 with straight pipes and 525 hp on the ground (due to custom injectors), 15 speed and no power steering! Rebuilt the engine 3 times before I finally sold it. I can't hear very well but I can still hear that dozen buzzin in my head! lol
That paint job with that style of air cleaner absolutely perfect that long hood and that V12 awesome... and I'm a Peterbilt man but that one right there is a keeper
Back in it's day there wasn't too many trucks that could keep up with a Detroit V12. Maybe a Cummins KTA 600 could though. My cousin bought a brand new Brockway conventional with a Detroit V12 in 1973. He said that nothing could touch him in the Rockies.
@@VintageTruckJunkiesKWs are my fave..and the buzzin dozen sound so sweet! Yours sounds as good as it looks, brother! Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down
Be happy the paint is faded on that long nose hood. I've driven on a southbound highway in the daytime and had the sun in my eyes the entire time. Now you can put down the sun visor but that won't block the second sun shining off your nice clean hood. If it was my hood I'd paint it flat black on top there. Nice truck!
Absolutely beautiful truck and engine. My dream in life is to have a Peterbilt 359 powered by one of these that I can do local work with such as rock hauling or cattle.
@@PeterbiltBoy359-Kyle thank you, we are going to try and make more videos of various trucks we have, and more of that truck. Thank you for subscribing

I grew logging with old Jimmy's, there were two guys with 12V's, a KW and a Pete, hauling logs we were driving 8V's. It was nothing to be 120,000 gross screaming along some of these trucks worked though the 1990's and into the 2000's.
That truck would look awesome without the sleeper and with a 3 axle log jinker behind it, loaded with 40' logs. It gets up and goes like that 3412-powered Peterbilt

Hi there. I've got exactly this truck though its been re-engined (sadly!) with a 3408 cat. Same year,same extended châssis etc etc. In short,its twin. However it lives in deepest rural France 😂 !!
