Excellent video! The red Euclid shown at 5:53 can still be seen at Lakeside Sand & Gravel in Mantua OH. It is usually featured in their annual Antique Equipment Open House and participates in the Truck Pulls at the local church Ox-Roast festival. It is a sight to behold.
With the Kenworth 963 you will find the cab is related to the W900 series as the T800 wasn’t even on the drawing board when there were first manufactured
The previous- generation 953 as shown in the video had the W900-derived cab. The 963 has been modernised with later Kenworth cabs - plus a bewildering range of options makes each 963 unique, as you’d expect at the price point 🙂
It's sad how the only engine mentioned was Cummins guess the narrator forgot that some trucks came with either Detroit or caterpillar engines and I'm sure that .ack had a mack engine in it not a pos Cummins
@@blackoxygen69 Alot of these trucks built in the earlier years was the time when Cummins was the top name in diesel engines. In 1950, Mack Trucks was Cummins' largest customer.
I worked in refineries back in the day I used to see that Hake truck quite a bit, I worked for McHugh Brothers, another big player back then, They had a prime mover just as big that they built out of a Cline haul truck. Ifr I remember right it had a 16v71 Detroit in it.
As impressive as these old beasts are, they're dinosaurs, especially the twin engine ones. With a modern diesel-electric power train you could get both more effective power and far better fuel economy with an engine half the size or less hooked to a generator and small battery bank. Granted most of these could probably be relatively easily retrofitted/upgraded to such a setup, just look at what Edison Motors is doing with an old logging truck for example.
The fact that these trucks are still being used effectively decades after they were built says everything about the guy's who created and built these trucks, which have lasted probably longer than the guy's who created it. It's a shame that this way of thinking about creating trucks that will last for decades is lost on the manufacturers now, who seem to produce trucks with a pathetic 5 to 7 year life span now, because in Europe that's the typical life span for modern trucks in a company.
I worked for Hendrickson back in the 80's in Stratford, Ontario Canada. Had a great time.

Can you imagine the barn size for Mack collectors!
They need a whole ass dockyard on their property to store them all!
😆😆😆😁
I used to live 10 minutes from the PACCAR Renton, WA plant and seen numerous KW 963 in the facility and heading east on I-90.

I don't believe $500k would touch a 963 from KW, esp with a winch bed

Well…..Never seen an older W900 with a curved windshield or an early T800

Great video - thanks. Didn't realise that Cummins engines are everywhere now. So they should be!
Cummins engines are in everything from small ag to large mining haul trucks, Marine, rail and power generation.
At our railway museum we have a CP Rail 250 ton railway crane with a yellow diesel Cummins built in Great Britain!
Thanks a lot.
Very nice
I would Love to have a fully restored Euclid 8x4!!! 🤠👍

Tosser.
These trucks are what developed into the trucks we have today.
Orville Wright didn't build a 747.
Awesome machines!
Nice video , thanks !!!!
I seem to recall, maybe I am wrong, but White took over Autocar? Great video, very informative, I really enjoyed it, thank you.
معدات ضخمة جدا ومزهلة جدا
VERY INFORMATIVE
MACK`s, Are Made for Moving Mountains!!!
What is this 4 axle assistant tractor thing seen at 01:02 to to 02:01? Anybody knows?
That's Lampson's "Horrible Harv" prime mover
Informative video but the background music is very annoying
I got a ' chubby '😂
2 engines is fine but getting them to both equally pull together is the problem ! I know, I keep 2 LARC XV (15) going with 2 cummins 903s in each.
I was around the 5's and 15's but mostly the 1200's. I was in the 573rd at Ft. Story and ran a D-7.They hauled me around a little.
what about the Rhodes-Ridley which has twin side by side gm 2 stroke diesels engines?

Because it's more profitable to manufacture and sell a truck that lasts 5 to 7 years than to manufacture and sell a truck that lasts decades.
If I become rich I will own a Hendrickson 360 or Mack M series for pleasure one day 😂
Where is the truck in thumbnail?
minute 5:03 genius 😶
To the corner store and back..........in six hours.....
What was that tower vehicle in the beginning of the video
8 wheels? Looks like a Big Bud type agricultural tractor.
Exactly! I wanna know what that high rise apt tractor truck thingamabob was?🤣
That's a Melroe wheeled bulldozer minus the blade, it looks like they have at least 2 of them from the later pics.
Check your info, not 100 percent accurate
Also called a V -12 engine a 5- 12 engine 😂
The Autocar AP19 must be Lincoln Hawks truck on steroids
The script was meant for a six year old.
1:04 that’s a melroe wheel dozer
Music ruined it.
Amazing what “used” to be made around here.👍🫤
