Always loved those KW k100 back in those days,hope to see it on video restored one day you got yourself some history right there thanks for sharing the video 👍🙂
I grew up riding in these old trucks in the 70's. When dad was a independent O/O. And eventually trained on them. I love them still, they bring back good memories.
I drove one of those all up and down the East Coast from 1980-83, loved it! Drove for Lott Motor Lines out of New York, from their Ladysmith Virginia terminal, hauled a lot of paper, and, Rock salt bags.
да, в рашке бы размородерили нахер за неделю. с мелаллоискателями тайгу шерстят и выкарывают рельсы и прочее железзе если унитазы и трусы награбленные в Украине домой тянут то такую повозку точно без внимания не оставят
First big truck i ever drove was a 76 k100 and it was with my father so thanks for the trip down memory lane. Man I'd love to get one one day. They are a lot smaller than i remember. I went on to drive many trucks but ill always be fond of that particular one.
Very nice Ole truck I hope you can get it going and road ready. It looks like someone put that air bag frame on it most kws that year had torsion bar suspension
Thanks for the laughs! You guys look like something my brothers and I would do when we were kids like playing with a huge Tonka toy except your toy is a Kenworth truck. You guys are having too much fun! Great and entertaining video!
Ok, very nice truck, on the lower price specked out cab. The cab I’m thinking is perhaps newer than a 76. Your cab has a one piece fibreglass roof. Here in Canada they used a combination roof the had the front portion and the rear portion of the cab made of moulded fibreglass, but the middle section was a wide strip of aluminum that was riveted to the front and back sections. That way if it was a slab cab, or a 73”, or 86 inch cab front to back, or all the way up to the “ V.I.T.” that stood for ( very important trucker ) which was 108 inches front to back, had the widest aluminum centre section. The cab size you have is the 86”. That truck would have come new with a 24 volt starter but a 12 volt charging system. It would have had a series parallel switch, and obviously 4 batteries. The switch would allow it to function on 12 volts, but to start would take the two pairs of batteries, and put the two pairs of batteries from being wired in parallel, into series, hence 24 volts. The series parallel switch would be mounted in the battery box. The frame has had a “ clip “ from an older Kenworth welded on. That is a older original KW air suspension system. I think it may have been called a “ Glide Well “. The 8 bag system was called an “ Air Glide 100 “, it’s been supper ceded many years ago, but was a good suspension. That’s a fairly straight looking OEM gull wing bumper. The serial # is located in 3 places. Some had it in 4. It’s in behind the drivers side door frame near there the striker pin is located, on the top of the front of the frame rail, stamped. Also on the beam that crosses the back of the cab where is latches to the rear cab support bracket. The V.I.N. started with a letter followed by 6 numbers. This is before the government required all manufacturers to adopt a 19 character/ number system that is standard today. These trucks where hand built back in these days. My 76 was M895211, my 82 was M810301. The letter M meant it was built in Montreal. ( Saint Terese Quebec, Canada. ) if it starts with a C, it was assembled in Chillicothe Ohio, and K was Kansas City. The Green River Killer worked out of Portland ! I don’t think the built C.O.E.’s ( cabover engine ) there, only conventionals ? ( the ones with the engine located under the hood. That’s truck cannot be replaced today. Don’t hurt it. Back in the day, you where the “ King of the Highway “ if you drove a Kenworth. Drivers respected those trucks. I had my 76 from 78 till 82. I had my 82 from new till I sold it in 2021. The truck is currently being restored by a new owner. I drove it all over North America for 26 years. I enjoyed driving that truck till I quit hauling cars. Drove it back from the weekly trip Toronto/ Winnipeg return, got the truck and trailer washed at the Blue Beacon and drove it into its parking spot, and turned off the key. Never drove it on the highway again. Everything worked, and was safetied, and licensed. Enjoyed seeing your truck. Don’t hurt it. Please.
Me and that truck were produced in the same year..and we both were built to last, only i dont fire up as easy after sitting on my duff for a decade or two....
Drove those for years. 2 had a Cummins shiny 290/ 9 speed. 1 was 350 Cummins/9 speed the last was 350Cat/ 9 speed. The last I drove was the rectangular headlight '85 model with 350 Cat/ 13 speed and 3,70 rears. It would pull stumps.👍👍
This classic K100 needs to be restored guys. That’d bring some really good money 💰 to you guys once you’d get the right buyer like David Schnautz, for instance.
Sorry, back to the roof, here in Canada, the one piece fibreglass roof wasn’t available till 77. Not to say they didn’t change sometime between 76 and 77. To bad about that dent above the drivers side headlight panel. That’s right where the aluminum corner panel meets the fibreglass headlight panel, where they both meet the drivers side floor. The dent also goes all the way over toward the direction of the grill, so the Center panel that goes all the way around the grill. I’d just rivet a strip of aluminum over the damaged area. The beauty of these trucks is they where hand assembled. Everything is bolted, or riveted. You’d have to make all the parts yourself. Kenworth pulled all the tooling, and dyes back from the parts manufacturers back about 2000. That’s about the time they stopped building them here in North America. They still are available in Australia and New Zealand, from what I’ve seen. No doubt in other countries also. That looks to be a factory paint scheme from back in the day. I put over 3 million miles on my 82. Three odometers, three steering wheels, and three drivers seats. Not much left of the original engine though the crankshaft, camshaft, after cooler, rocker boxes, and rocker covers. Also three clutches. Each one the release bearing eventually pulled out of the pressure plate. Every component has a service life. When you drive a truck long trips for 26 years things wear out, and needs replacing at some point. It gets harder to find parts on the road to make quick repairs. Ps, these cabs where cold in the Canadian Winters. I’ve woken up with my hair frozen the padded interior of the bunk walls, due to thermal transfer. Your feet and knees paid the price. Snow wouldn’t melt on the floor. You had to scrape the inside of the drivers door window.
That's a nice truck, lots of potential. My son's and I have been looking for one of those to do a complete restoration on also in Ohio. If you ever look to sell it let me know.
My dad was a cab over guy I remember big sleeper 1973 peterbilt with a big ole V8 catapiler motor heading west on I40 and me sitting on the dog house and he said bud we're gonna put her in the big hole and put it in the fast lane lol we were in shaky town before I knew it I miss that cab over Pete
On my come on guys give her some respect there's no way I could be that hard on her and not care much respect guys but give her some love she's a runner and a good looking truck sale her if you don't want it
To think that the Green River Serial killer, Gary Ridgway, was a truck painter @ Kenworth, imagine working along side that psycho not knowing what he was doing, gives you the willies!! She’s a beauty EH!!
I think going by the comments, most of us, if not all would like to see more on this, maybe do a detail video on it, or fix'er up a bit with some new-used parts.
It's always amazing that vehicles that have been sitting for decades will take a good battery and fire right up. But, if there was no issue when parked, I guess there is no reason it shouldn't start.
😂 only air lines, bushings, fuel lines, electrical work, filters, bearings, tires, brakes, air bags and on and on... yeah not much. You must not be familiar with the cost involved with getting a truck DOT road ready. Big difference between field driveable and roadworthy
Every time I see a family run company on a door I wish they could see their old rig return to life! Makes you wonder what they did after selling the rig.
She needs to be brought back to life. Restore her she’s a beauty
I second this
Old beauty don't deserve to die like that even if she makes a return as a show truck
Red Neck Heaven! Awesome Video! Would be a beautiful restoration!
Always loved those KW k100 back in those days,hope to see it on video restored one day you got yourself some history right there thanks for sharing the video 👍🙂
I plan on it when I have the money thanks a lot I’m glad you enjoyed my video
This beauty deserves to get back on the road! Defiantly a great project to have!
I cant wait to see it running please fix it that's a beautiful truck 😍

Довольно неплохо выглядит для грузовика 1976 года, хранящегося под открытым небом.
А че ему будет
Алюминиевая + стекловолокно кабина
Рама без поливания солями
Чисто лес и дождик максимум
да, в рашке бы размородерили нахер за неделю. с мелаллоискателями тайгу шерстят и выкарывают рельсы и прочее железзе
если унитазы и трусы награбленные в Украине домой тянут то такую повозку точно без внимания не оставят
nice piece of equipment and you treat it like trash
Gotta love a Cummins. That thing fired right off like nothing. Thanks for sharing 👍

Did my Apprenticeship on these old Cummins in the early 80's
incredible piece of machinery
Cool it works. Take it on the road😄
I'll give you $1k cash, right now. Awesome old iron, love it.

Me encantaria saber que fecha tiene el almanaque que esta arriba creo que al minuto aparece.
Nice job guys!!!
Thanks a lot
She’s a beautiful rig wouldn’t take much to get her back on the road

It's just a lawn ornament
Like the k100 . Also got a peak at the red international in the background

Hopefully it will be back on the road soon as my dad bought it

Heavy duty Cummins engines start the best out of all the other brands!

I might fix the kenworth someday no the freighter does not it has no engine
This truck was put out the same year I was born I'd love to have it

Would make a nice project. Keep the paint and patina as is. Fix the technical things
Gee, sounds pretty good for setting so long.
Mantap luar biasa 👍👍
It’s like tht movie the trucks
can you review traktor ?
I could do that maybe power wash it to
Is it for sale ?
Make a offer
Those old big cams are like a Chrysler slant 6 it takes a lot to kill one
Do you plan to get it on the road again?
I might I’m not sure yet
If it runs that easily then it's a loyal truck. Don't scrap it. Keep it and work on it
I feel like peterbuilt mike would love to have this, but he has enough project on his hands lol
I bet Tim gentry would love this cab over ..
Yo you need to try starting old vintage trains
That would be awesome I just don’t no where any old trains are
Theirs many, you just don’t notice them very often. perhaps use goggle maps or look up train in your area and see if theirs abandoned ones in it
Wish I had the money I would buy it
Amazing
Looks like a Optimus Prime pulling truck
