- Follow Old Iron Truckin while we get this old 81’ Kenworth W900A rebuilt and back to work! This is an overview of its current condition. We are looking forward to what it could be again.
I sure am glad that W900A trucks are getting restored. Peterbilts have been taken over the truck shows . I still love my Kenworths . Keep up the good work 👏
The B-model Cat will DEFINITELY be AWESOME once its completed
Love old school trucks are the best compared to today ones
A W900A with VIT Diamond Tuck interior was my favourite truck back in the day... still is in fact! Good luck on the build! IMO you should keep it as original as possible and not stretch it, no one did back when this truck was new.
This going to be a killer build!!! Grew up watching Movin On and never lost the excitement of seeing these old rigs still rolling coal.
Take abunch of old license plats if you can find enough for your floor .8 ball shifter handle and a little box of toothpicks somewhere and an old dirty magazine under the mattress to remember when trucking was fun
Sir! License plate floor!!! Cool idea!
This thing is gonna be sweet, that paint is amazing. The ideas are spot on, better suspension, lil stretch, drop the front end down, I’d personally do a 15 against the dash for period correctness, tapered bumper with the flaps on the corners and swing plate in the middle, all and all no matter what it’ll look better than most of the trucks that were at MATS
Thanks for the support!
I use to chat with the previous owner of that AWESOME A-MODEL LARGECAR!!!!! He is a well knwn TRUCKER in El Paso,Tx
Very cool!
Any chance that was one of Sonny Campbell’s cow trucks? My best friend drove a new brown 81 with a KT for Campbell
Just come across your channel I love old school things 👍‼️💯🇺🇸🇨🇦😁😎
Welcome aboard!
Yes KT. Yes 5in stove pipes. Yes brown paint ❤ lol add some chocolate brown shag carpet
Thanks for the support!
Can’t wait to see, done!!
Aww I wanted a screaming Detroit under the hood.
😊
Nice starting point!
What a sweetheart! I love what you have planned for her. Please keep us posted.
Hell yeah! We love old iron. Excited to follow along
Following from Instagram!!! Love those A models!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice truck
Replaced sleeper with a coffin sleeper
I’ll see ya. At the show.
Luv that yellow & white Pete
😎💪🏽
Im pleased you popped up on my Tiktok I do love how over there you can run old stuff too, over here in the UK it seems to be if the truck is over 5 years old we have to update. My 1999 ERF is more than capable of working but the laws we have just make it hard.
She will be a labor of love , got to watch
Sweet old girl! Love where you're going with the build!
Big hole the sleeper would DEFINITELY be AWESOME
Dirks makes a great electric wiper conversion kit
Keep that color
Perfect candidate for a 3408 and a 5 n 4 trans. Cool long hood A model
You got all the right ideas for this old truck . Might want to check out frame rails around the motor mounts . ESPECIALLY on left side as the old KT's and V-8's were known to crack out bolt holes cus of the torque .
Gotta do 1 thing, keep the 6's & add raincaps. Dont see them around much anymore...
KT are Sweet Soundings 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊😎📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢
I see where you’re going and I like it
that's a nice rig i think your idea on it is great
Hi I just subscribed and I love the truck I'm Ramon nice to meet you
Thanks and welcome
U can get an decent price for that old 8 bag suspension & that other swap of the newer suspension is an PACCAR suspension which BOTH KW & PETE offer jst different part numbers. U can also sell the 6" Stacks also
A model kenworths are in my opinion the classiest older trucks on the road when u see them out on the supper slab. An they need to still work to get seen an respected. Just my opinion.
nice old rig!, she could do with a nice oak floor instead of that red carpet.
Opening speech sold me play with them drive them and enjoy them why have a truck so nice nobody can touch hell with that
Theres at Kt 4sale in Chicago ready to go. 29k
I like your taste. Keep the bud wheels, clean up but keep the paint job. I wouldn’t go past 280 on the wheel base. Anything longer will kill the old school look.
a 3408 would look good in it
Idk I think that carpet might pop cleaned up with that interior. But also would some cherry wood.
3"body drop. Need to wear an old 70's cowboy hat and have some lamb chop sideburns when driving it .
7 bars in the grille please. 5 bars aren’t enough. If you have to just put the center one in. Langs old 82 looked pretty good with one. Frame definitely needs a stretch. An the nose needs to stop bleeding. Square bumper with tanker lights on the lower corner and tanker porch lights. Replace missing buttons. Make the kitty purr again. 15 double over would be proper. But I understand. It’s gonna be a Bitchin ride!!
Thanks man. I do love an old 15 double over.
Oh god. 15 double over. 🙄
An old chicken slinger on top would kinda cool . Pair of the old fat fuel tanks . Couldn't tell if those were the original ones on there or not
Food stuff.. looks like new channel
I think it’d look killer with some minor pin striping from flannel Philip if anything.
that 81 needs to have two sticks
Frame needs spraying or polishing need 5 wheel polished rims
Cool truck , new to the channel , just subscribed and in the process of watching. You may have already said it in the video I’m watching it currently, but with old iron like this do you all still put them to “work” ? Just curious If you worked them or just played around with them? Just curious I’m new here but looking forward to Watching.
This one will work and play.
Where are you guys out of in Arizona?
We are in Duncan, AZ
Where are you gonna mount the DEF tank??
Very cool ole ex hood A !
😂
i would keep that paint and clear coat it of corse put ur company name on it and dot on it and truck number
What are you calling a Colorado visor ?. Leave the K.W. 8 bag air !!
