The ‘89 W900L from the 007 movies was indeed a limited edition. It was actually called the… wait for it… “007 Limited Edition”. Should’ve had a decal above the Kenworth emblem on the sleeper. Think they even had a commemorative dash plaque. Killer find!
@@tate8020 may have been. On research, KW produced the 007 in 89-90. But I’m no expert. I always liked the paint scheme on those. Simple but eye catching 👍👍
Hi Mark, I ran that big 4900 Western Star for the past 6 years. It was a great truck. The plate in the floor is actually where the dip stick and filler are for the Allison auto. Lots of heavy haul video floating around with my old girl. Spent all its life up here in Fort Mac. Great content, keep the videos coming.
A simple exercise is take a calculator or pencil and paper and divide the claimed miles by how many years old the truck is. It’s amazing how often you find yourself wondering “how did they pay for the truck?”. Trucking is part driving, and part business, so you better be able to do both if you don’t want to get skinned. Take care.
I have an 88 Flc with 501,000 one owner original miles I made the mistake of not recording mileage before going to notary the state claims less than what the notary was entering in state system. Had no choice but to claim exempt miles. Now I have no proof bummer 😢lol
@@FREIGHT_SHAKER My friend purchased a really clean 02 7.3 powerjoke a couple of years ago and it had just over 600,000 miles on it and when he registered it he switched the title to tmu which stand's for (true mileage unknown) and he would let buyers decide how many miles they thought were on the vehicle. If I remember correctly he sold the truck for around $15,000 and he purchased it for $4500 and he didn't do anything but switch the title to true mileage unknown.
I kind of figured you'd go from being the Snowman to being the Rubber Duck... From the Snowman Tribute truck to a 1977 Mack RS712LST from the movie Convoy. A lot of cool looking trucks up there, I find it amazing what they go for at auction, some of sound cheap while others sound more expensive than they should be, but I don't know much about them so. Take care.
Typically the prices on special trucks like them are set by the people who want to buy them. You can find some classy 359 petes with almost no wear on em that have been rebuilt for under 100k easily.
I used to go to a Technical school down in Orlando that had that truck from "License to Kill" 16:32 donated to them, they ended up painting it yellow and put a Ford truck bed on it, they use it as a promotional vehicle for their Diesel Tech program. Pretty cool truck
For that old International 20 pounds of oil pressure in adequate for ildling.Many people who service classic cars, trucks('40s,'50s) said that cause of the high machining tolerances for this old vehicles 20-30 pounds is completely normal for oil pressure and they live with it forever.
Just gotta stop hauling to Cali, let them sort themselves out 😂 They’re going down hill fast lol “On The Hunt” is my favorite series man! I love seeing the old rigs! That’s a minty old Intersmashinal!
Fun fact mark on those two 379 with newer dashes you cannot change the Speedo or speedometer separately, I used to have a 389 that came from Canada and was Speedo was in kilometers and not MPH I called Pete to see about getting a new Speedo for it and they informed me the Speedo tachometer and digital display was all one piece, and let me tell you that baby was not cheap to change to MPH!!!!
Mark, the 8 speed in that old Pacific is an 8LL. The blue splitter button on the side puts it into a low, low, deep reduction range. A lot of dump trucks here in the states have those transmissions in them. Makes it easier when hauling a heavy load off road. Helps with traction control so that you don't tear your rears up.
Mornin Mark, another great on the hunt video, there were a couple of nice older trucks in there. I noticed that too when you drive an auction yard anymore there is very little sitting on site, sorta takes the nostalgia out of truck and equipment auctions. See you next week pal Say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.
Oh brother hell yeah I have been waiting for all this nice to see bunch of stuff cool one and you made my day by starting the rig cause liked the sound a healthy one God bless you amen.
I used to do commercial tore work; working on trucks & construction equipment. One of the customers that came to the shop bought road semis and sold off sleepers & the fifth wheel plate & other equipment off the semis & they put dump truck boxes onto them. The company did this to save money & with buying older rigs all the "teething problems" were gone.
12:37 here in cali we call those 8L's, with the truck in low range you flip in the thumb switch, you know have 4 compound low gears, lots of water trucks and trucks that spend time out in the woods in the mud use them, pretty hard to get stuck with full axle lockers engaged creeping along at a snails pace tbh hehe
Most here in the US don't know about the Canadian brands like Pacific or Hayes. I think it would be interesting to watch you bring one of those on as a project
12:13 I haven't seen one of those blue air nobs I was a young one in one of my dad's trucks, and the dry and slippery road one. That Pacific is a pretty manly truck, I love that diamond plate interior over a freightliner diamond interior for sure!
I drove a 13 speed with that round splitter. Your right it bling on the left. But on the right you would grab the stick on top with the splitter between your pinky and next finger and slide your whole hand to split. Maybe someone had arthritis.
That T279 with the Schwabe conversion had the 5th wheel camper setup so it can move with the camper and not crack the frame. Another issue with the electric trucks will be fires. The EV car fires have destroyed two car ferries and a few parking garages one with 1600 cars destroyed from a Range Rover hybrid bursting in flames. It is not covered in the news but even the newest tech batteries will go into thermal run away and they create oxygen as they burn so it is hard to put them out. The fumes that come off them are poisonous,. There needs to be better training for drivers if the car starts on fire and for the fire brigade that need to put out the fire. A semi EV will have a much larger battery than a car so it will be a massive fire when they go up.
Here in Australia the new MP Mack's only come in auto because the box is stronger. With all the weight and torque they were just smashing transmissions.
Hey mark you can still to this day order a w900 with the snowman paint scheme kenworth in Atlanta had 2 of them sit on the lot for a bit last year I was in love when I saw them one had a 36 inch bunk and one looked just like that one they were both beautiful
Hey Mark. The white KW with the gold and black stripes you saw at the auction was base on the 007 movie "License To Kill" back in the 80s with Timothy Dalton. And the name of the paint scheme is called "Comet", made specially for the film.
Hey Mark, just thinking about what you said about the electric trucks and in this old dog's opinion, we are a far ways to go yet before we are ready to go electric. Hybrid maybe, but not fully electric.. I'm from New Zealand and we have several fully electric trucks over here already, but they are mostly for show and mostly only work around towns, nothing really for long haul, especially with our mountainous roads! We had one running for fonterra as a milk tanker, that I had heard about which seems to be the perfect example of what I mean.. It's an 8x4 cabover with a tank on back pulling a 4 axle dog trailer for a total of about 42-44 ton fully loaded with about 24K litres of milk. The battery is about the size of a coffin sleeper behind the cab and gives about 8 hours with no load, about a third to a half of that with one, but takes a little over 3hrs to recharge and about the same to swap out for a new one. Given how our tankers run, For a t2hr shift and three to four runs out and back from the factory, it serves little more than a publicity stunt at this point.
About six years ago they tried out electric buses in Anchorage, Alaska. As far as riding on the electric bus or the internal combustion engine buses, it was six of one, half dozen of the other. As far as logistics and maintenance went, I don’t know. They ended up not adapting them at the time. Anchorage had a seriously good bus service at the time, but I don’t know if that’s still the case because they were always messing with it. Take care over there on the other side of the world.
@@carlcarlamos9055 Yeah we have electric buses all over the place and they seem to wirk pretty well, but again, they generally only stay in the confines of the city they work in, there aren't any that go inter-city. Thanks for the well wishes, appreciate it.
Hey mark that red flat top 379 legacy in the video, I seen it 5 years ago for sale then, it was a logging truck out west I think in whitecourt/ Edson/ Hinton country and it was rough then, and reason he had gauge up on top of dash was cause he put a different motor and I guess to cheap to fix the sensor properly lol and wanted a ridiculous number for it then! Lol
Just remember people he's in the Canadian north country these trucks are crazy heavy duty for the oil fields I'm Canadian and worked in the oil patch these trucks have taken a beating he needs to show you a rig move its amazing how they can do it
First again! Automatic transmissions in heavy trucks, same as what happened with cars and pickup trucks, are becoming far more common. Yesterday I saw a dump truck set up for over-weight hauling, it had an automatic transmission.
Automatics have had a significant presence in prime movers and crane carriers and other very heavy vehicles since the sixties and seventies. This is for control and to free up the drivers attention, because there are many more focal points. Look at Morgan’s post at all the gear choices he had with his rig. You don’t learn to do that in one day. Opportunities to learn are fewer and far between these days, often with an up front cost in dollars and of poorer quality learning. The days of going to school in someone’s place a couple days, and coming away with an education are long gone. Take care.
22:20 The Old gmc general was actually the same one used in knight Rider. The Screen Used Truck is also under reconstruction by the Knight Rider historians here on RUclips. They do a great work like you. Greets from Germany. Note: i am not trying to advertise their channel, i just wanted to let you know that in case you didn‘t know that already.
Those Freightliner classic XL's remind me of my assigned truck back in 2004-2005, a yellow classic tractor with a big Dome top sleeper practically an apartment room for me at 5 foot 6. It had a sweet and powerful series 60 Detroit that made 80 feel like 60 miles an hour. I almost bought the truck before fuel went up back then to $3 a gallon. I can't count how many times I knocked my hip against the corner of the very helpful wrap around dashboard that can be very painful trying to move around in the cab.
i absolutely love E logs , i did my cowboy trucking back in the 90s and early 2000s ... nowadays im just trying to earn a living and the e logs make that easier than ever . there's no thought involved (other than trip planning) it's definitely trucking on easy mode
@@TwinStixYou are failing to take into consideration all the time wasted filling out the paper method. The electronics are a new trick for old dogs, but if you figure it out, it will save you time. And they can be your friend if you need a backup, just like cameras front, rear, and sides. Take care.
If you love E logs your a complete idiot. I don't and will never allow a government to tell me when to sleep and when to work. It's guys like you that have ruined the trucking business.
That 8speed in the pacific is what we call in the states an 8LL, the splitter is just for the deep reduction in Lo, Best dump truck transmission ever made, at least down here in Kentuckistan anyway
Have you talked about or looked at that canadian diesel electric truck start up? edison or something anyways at least th ey are going the hybrid route which i can see as the best route for semi's as like you said the charge time and weight is just not compatible with trucking.
Dear TwinStickGarage Mark P. 👍👌👏 I'm definitely not an expert on North American trucks. But as high as this kinda "Smokey and the Bandit" semi went, your complete truck must be worth 200.000 CAD. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
U don't wait while the batteries recharge.. U stop at a station and unplug ur battery it's removed by forklift or automated machine and a charged battery is inserted and off U go.. the battery that's taken out is put on charge and in X amount of hours is ready for another truck or ur truck on the return trip.. the "refuelling" process could technically be twice as quick as a standard refuel stop of a normal.truck..
I remember getting a bit angry watching "Licence to Kill" on video. I yelled at the tv. "You can't do that in a truck" When 007 does a wheelie in the truck. (You can even see both drive axels staying on the ground and the rest of the truck going up in to air - baaad special effects.
The only good thing about covid is it made the auctions in my area switch to online. All but one have remained that way. Listening to Porky Pig at the end auctioning off that cabover reminded me how much I dislike live in person auctions.
Actually mark Mac always had brake Chambers on the top knot down below I always thought it was a good idea but that's for off-road use that we didn't break one

Love the "urgh no" as you saw the line up of Aero units 😂
I like the aero trucks, sure they don’t look good, but they put up some real nice mpg results and are much better for the environment
@Bluebottlenose I always say I don't care what she looks like if she makes me money and at 9mpg that's hard to pass

I laugh at how people try to roll miles back on vehicles without taking into consideration all of the little subtle signs of the true mileage.
A simple exercise is take a calculator or pencil and paper and divide the claimed miles by how many years old the truck is.

On the hunts are my favorite. It brings me back to going to farm equipment dealerships with my Dad when I was a kid.
Soo happy!! Love the "On the hunt" videos!! Thanks Twin Sticks!
The black Mack used to sit in my residential neighborhood in Leduc. Guy hauled a hard core jeep on the back and pulled a camper.
the smokey and the bandit w900 new school trucks were a factory clone option.

Hellow mark good luck buddy
Enjoyed the walk around sir . Carl uk 🇬🇧
My dad ran his splitter all the way to the right. Used his ring finger to split. Good stuff mark . And hello from West Virginia.!
