I kept checking to see how long the video would run, not nearly long enough.
Beautiful thank you for sharing.
Dats a real truck not like the plastic junk they make today ✌️
If you think this is a truck check out the Renault T
@@DC-yb7qd Renaults are ugly as all hell. This truck is true American engineering and pride.
Gabe-fartpoop Peepants lol nobody likes Renaults. Scania is king.
My Renault will walk all over any truck on the road
This idiot, 9 car Cottrell i'm referring to, wouldn't know the difference between a Renault Range T, Volvo FH16-750, Scania S730 and a Kenworth W900. On Concorde videos he's an ex Concorde pilot/captain, on truck vids a truck driver, train vids he's a train driver, on PA Mining vids he drives a dozer and a mine truck. I see a pattern developing with good ol' 9 car Cottrell. It's called talking bullshit. The best one, though, is on Lockheed C5 Galaxy uploads. He's Captain and Shift Commander LaBonte USAF Patriot Wing. That's an insult and disrespectful to those that serve, or have served in their countries Armed Forces.
Would you be willing to go down to Texarkana and pick up 400 cases of Coors for me? I'm having a little get-together with my friends
Smokey n the bandit
They say it can’t be done
East bound and down, on the road and truckin, we're going to do what they say can't be done!
Wrong truck. Those were about 1972 and 1974 W900A Kenworths.
@@natemartin5175 West bound and down, 18 wheels a rollin'....
Thing of beauty!
Old Pets and KW's, Internationals, Fords, Dodge bighorns and Macks are works of art, drove 44 years retired 2014 and seriously think of buying a old one off of Craigslist check near everyday ti see if anything show up.
Can't leave out the old Freight shakers the Auto cars Diamond tees
...my first driving job in 1976 was with a company that had almost all Kenworth Conventionals...my first assigned tractor was a mid 1960s KW glider kit that was still titled as a 1936...tilt fiberglass hood...262 Cummins with Jakes...13 speed...there was still one butterfly hood in the fleet...I like those spoke wheels in the back of yours...ran with a company that had R model Macks on spokes...
Nice old K whopper! Love that old Cummins sound!! We have a ‘50 with a 250 in it. Great sounding ole girls!
Non turboed single piped?
Yep. She’s a work in progress if we ever get time to work on something other than what puts the food on the table. But someday it’ll get done!
What a beauty.sounds amazing to. Bet you are a very proud owner.😎😎
Damn right!
Der Sound von dem alten Cummings ist der Hammer,ich liebe diesen alten Kenworth!😎👊🤟👍👍👍🇩🇪🇩🇪
Danke schön!
@@Darstrom 😊
Owning one of these is like having the ultimate SUV.
Pehaps if its a 6x6 with a box on the back!
That is one kick ass Tractor .. kinda sounds like a 1693 cat . I know im wrong ..
She's sings a sweet song for sure
She sure does Matt what a beautiful classic
I like that Flag on the front bumper there. That is 1 nice ole rig. Familiar ole sound when you fired her up. Spoke wheels on the rear, makes me wonder if there is a driver (except you of course) or a tire man that knows how to line them up right so they don't wobble when rolling down the road. Oh hell I forgot, drivers don't change flat tires any these days, lol. Great old rig you got there, a real piece of history.
Cheers, the flag'll stay I'm glad you like it!
A little wobbeling though I think is impossible to be without unless you're hauling a load?
right in the ole kenworth spot!
Finally! This thing is just sweet to listen too.
Very nice truck I liked it keep it up and have a nice day
Man that's sweet olde skool, keep on keepin' on bro!
Will do!
Looks EVERY bit as good as she sounds
He bought the truck, he rebuilt it, he fimed it. He can do whatever he wants with the fucking clutch.
Hi Darstrom that's a nice sound from the old Cummins it looks in great condition looking forward to seeing it thumping down the road thanks for posting it........ Mick
Mick W Thank you, it's in working condition and we just made a 800 miles trip in it, today we go back the 800 again !
Sweet KW! I was just through Sommerset, PA too. It really is a small world.
This is in Sweden tho
Not as small as that sleeper, lol
Cool! But as said, this is in Sweden, but I'm still on the lookout for if the PA markings are actually from the company who owned it or not
I’m diggin those vertical garage doors 👍
Thanks to them we can fit the truck. It was planned to put a smaller door at first!
i'm surprised she starts so easy. I have been around a lot of older car and none of them start that easy from cold after a winter. Of course my experience is with British 1956 coupe that stalls at lights until its engine has been running for 30 minutes (only has 8k miles and a engine rebuild roughly 800 miles ago) and a 1970 Cuda that has 50k miles so. Definitely a nice truck
It's been in warm winter garage. This year it's in cold storage I will try to get it on film
I noticed you got the truck from Somerset PA I live about two hours from there you have alot of American iron in the yard
Supposedly the company name is now something like C Ludy Junior Trucking. Have you ever seen them?
@@Darstrom no that area of the state has a lot of trucking companies Pennsylvania is full of small companies have you been to the Mcungie antique truck show when visiting here in the spring there are usually a 1000 trucks in display and the Mack truck plant has tours during the two day show
@@andrewward1887 I have not. But I'd love to visit a show in the States one day!
Clearfield, PA here
Johnstown PA here
Think we can slip the clutch a little more
Steven Diemer, was wondering what that was all about myself. (I assume you meant to put a question mark at the end of your comment.)
Had to stop on a steep grade with a 60 ton load due to a railroad crossing, didn't slip the clutch that much taking off.
That's a VERY nice truck!👍👏
Thank you!
Кеша красавец! Почет и уважение хозяину за сохранность!
Sweet Music to the ears
Credit to you fella,nice bit of American beauty
I would love to have that old girl!! Get her a retirement run just to keep her working a bit so se keeps living.!!
One day I surely will!
She retired in the 80s. Owner after that worked her by moving antique machinery he had bought, back to his home. So she sure has kept living alright!
💪✌*keine Atempause*,Geschichte,die erwacht...es geht vorran.
Good Job!
Dankeschön !
What a beautiful truck this is not the piece a crap whit Chinese parts they make today
Beautiful sound, I love your videos man
Ooooh she sounds nice👌
Despite all the expert super truckers this is one bitchin rig
It’s like a mad dog coming out of his dog house
She's a beast👍👍👍

Did that 55 kw sell? Where was it located?
Mega beautiful truck
Kenworth looks good
What a beauty
That is one nice ride.
Cheers
You love your Kenworth so much, so I suppose you are fully acquainted with its mechanics. My question is does it have any kind of diff-lock on any of the rear axles or an interaxle one?
The "diff lock" seems to only connect the mid axle making it a tandem. It only drives on the rear normally
Listen to that beauty.
Just bought a 78 w900 and she fires right up just like this.. bad to the bone
Darstrom, if that logo on the side of the sleeper is accurate, that trucking company is about a 2 hour drive from where i live. I wonder if they would have any history on the truck for you, unless of course you already know its history
LRCVWDude I have tried searching for the company, says it went out of business in the late 80s?
Not sure if it's put there just for fun or if it's accurate though. If they are still in business they would probably be happy to see this truck wether it's "fake" or not! Only history I know is that it was hauling steel in the northen states up until the mid 80s
Huh, interesting: when i google the name of that company, records show them still being in business just outside of Berlin, PA, which is in Somerset County. The name is different, Charles T Ludy Jr Trucking, but its the same area: maybe a relative of the C. Ludy on your truck, possibly a son or grandson
However, if you know for a fact the truck was hauling steel up till about the mid 80's, then its possible it WAS based here in Pennsylvania: we used to be a HUGE steel making state, so it wouldn't surprise me if that truck hauled out of the mills back when they were running non stop.
LRCVWDude Wow okay that's really cool so maybe there lies some truth in it then!
Somerset is 25 minutes away from my home, and Berlin is even closer.
Chas T Ludy Trucking Friedens PA
That is one beautiful truck
Dammit! It was just starting to get good
He's a beauty
Wait- you’re in Somerset? How did I not see that before? Do you come to Carlisle for the truck nationals?
Beautiful K.W.
Cheers
Damn that looks and sound great!
Классный Кеша и гараж зачётный супер Класс.
This is a marvel.
Love that truck..
Perfection YAAH!!

Wow Beutiful Bud
Now that is a nice sound! Beautiful! Nice whopper
Nice truck sounds just like my 90 Pete 379 with big cam Cummins stc

WOW JUST AWESOME!!!!, NOW THATS A TRUCK!!!!!!
NOTE: TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK YOU MUST HAVE FOREARMS STRONGER THEN YOUR THIGH MUSCLES
Cool story bro
@White Wrath I hear that all the way. I had just started my Career in Trucking, as the old steel was dying off. My first owned Truck was a Marmon, I am very familiar on how you described the bunk. Plus I prayed it didn't rain as the bunk seal was not true to the cab.
When I had to take it down, I used a plank of wood as a bed between the driver and passenger seats. IT SUCKED..
@White Wrath I have visited the Down Under 2 times in my life & loved it. My Aunt was living right outside of Sydney. Wow dualplex B Models? I love it. You never see them on the road in the States anymore or Marmons.
Currently I'm restoring a 1952 L Model Mack for a local fire co. Oh by the was my real name is Cliff Cini. If you Google my name there are 2 of us in the World. The other lives in Melbourne. No relation that I know of. But probably DNA link somewhere between us. LOL
Smoky u got ur ears on
Yes!
When we see new video with some sweet rumble sound of that machine?)
VladGoro25 might be a short video comin up soon =)
Nice !!
CyberPassenger Tackar!
Класс а турбинка как шепчет,рычит немного а так классная машина.
Very nice
Gawd ! Another kw the best of the best easy on the cluch tho 😒
Thanks! Yea I've been told about the clutch
Wow!! Is the same truck as the other video Darstron? Such an incredible sound😍😍 do you have IG??
Freddy Campo Same truck! No idea what you mean with IG?
Darstrom with "IG" I mean instagram
Freddy Campo I very rarely use it
Freddy Campo Hey I was looking trying to find this comment like crazy before I made the IG acc for the truck. Now it exists tho search for kenworth_1950 👌🏻
Someday maybe 🤞
Hell yeah man
I bet she still can do a haul with ease at a moment's notice if needed
freightliner old bumpers purchase india pleas website
Nice Lady
Sounds like 5 miles a gallon to me.. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Would you ever use it for work or just to look good and have a ride in the 50s
In this day and age I would stay away from using it for work
Nice kw
Obviously he has never drove the truck bringing the revs up on the clutch like that it sounds so wrong...
I live in Somerset pa! What country is the truck in now?
Cool! It's in Sweden now
@@Darstrom that's crazy, how does one import something like that
@@joshc63111 I didn't do it myself but he who did it drove it from PA to the harbour not sure which one (with a trailer) showed it into a container then it ended up here as the first US truck on the roads in 1991
Need a driver for that fine ride?
Que lindo 😍😍😍
wider door on garage !!!
In Sweden 🙂
I'm curious as to whats this old girls story is.
Ser den är svenskreggad, kul o se amerikansk lastbil i Sverige. Tycker våra lastbilar e grymt fula . Amerikanska lastbilar är grymt snygga.
Jo men gamla sextio talare och äldre är det då inget fel på!
Snygga är dom men otrolig dåliga att jobba med
@@MRX773 På den tiden så fanns det ju inget bättre! Och några trotjänare rullar fortfarande även om inte dagligen. Möter 60 tals grusbilar ibland =)
Hello kenvord 👍✔️😎
Hi gas stig your time 🕒 for your next Friday thanks
do you have any idea on the fuel economy of your beast?
Around 21 liter per 100km. Never did test it loaded.
@@Darstrom not as bad as I thought it would be for a 14l sixer
@@pettttson No it's quite alright for hobby-driving
Dude your killing the clutch stop revving it up before you engage. It's not a car....
Good to know!
@@Darstrom These things have so much torque, you pretty much just need to find the friction point and let it out. Sometimes, you need to ride the clutch if you have a full load or something, but in first or Low/Low, it will pretty much move itself.
@@SgtStickyTits Especially with a Cummins. That was the first thing my dad taught me. Their torque curve had gobs at idle.
Jimmys, not so much.
How long has it been sitting a month? I call bullshit on the tow strap and the title... you pulled it out then magically starts right up and you just drive off no issues? Usually the battery’s are junk the fuel is old and bags and tires are dry rotted
It's not a barnfind. It was pulled into the garage ~5 months earlier meaning it's the first start of the season. Fuel and batteries are looked after and taken care of being pre filled and charged.
The tow strap is because we don't want the garage filled with diesel smoke..
Sweeeeeetttttttt
What does the number on the sleeper mean?
USDOT number lookalike.
@@Darstrom My KW has it on the wet kit tank. I don't think it's a look-alike; however, the company has been out of business for some time.
@@shreddder999 This one was put on the truck after repaint. When it came here there was nothing but a logo on the door. I didn't put it there peronally but my conclusion is that it is just a random number. The company name on the sleeper have nothing to do with this DOT number
LOL...he's got a Texas Lis.Plate and a Stars and Bars rebel flag and American flag but he is in Sweden.
Actually that looks a whole lot like a Wyoming license with the bucking horse on it.
@@EnGammalAmazon and it says Wyoming on it lol
