Hi everyone. The last episode in this series for the Kenworth. Not completely finished but is gor a while. Very much useable now. I apologise again for the glitches in the video. I can’t work out the problem
No worries mate, I suspect the problems are YT related.
Awesome morning brother from another country down under no worries brother glitches are happening here as well so just keep those videos rolling !!! She looks incredible waiting to her rolling coal shifting gears and making a big impression sparkling going down the road
Say hi to everyone for me she is a beast

Once you put the beaver tail on the K145 she will be a great unit to take your tractors and trucks to the shows so all can see her
It certainly will be mate. Thank you🙏

Hi mate thank you🙏
interesting as usual. K145

You must have so much fun with all your trucks and tractors. I have two tractors a Ford 5000 and a International 434 and it was great fun fixing them up and repainting them.
Hi mate yes I do. You have some good ones there too. Good models those tractors

Gday Steve, firstly a credit to all involved, certainly been a shit load of work but it’s worth every minute, the rego list has grown again and it’s awesome there’s another K145 saved and back on the road, hopefully the next one you do I can get up your way and lend a hand, great series mate, throughly enjoyed watching, cheers
Hi Matty sorry for late reply. Yes it’s certainly growing mate and you are welcome here anytime you like
It's looking really good Steve. Code Word: K145
Thank you 🙏
K145 🚜🍻👌🏻
Steve, the K145 looks wonderful!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
The Kenworth has really come up well. CODE WORD: K145
Thank you🙏
Thanks Steve. Yes you almost need classes on how to use photographic equipment these days. All the work you put in only to left with glitches. Hang in there you'll get it. Sure love the twin steer. 👊😎👍
It’s a bigger mate. I’m getting better equipment for my 40th next month. Hopefully make it better
@@stevesplacedownunder 🤭👍
@@stevesplacedownunderI was thinking about the glitches. My wife has an I phone I have Samsung android everthing. Phone & TVs. If she sends me a vid it takes forever to send & looks terrible. Same if I send her one. Apple puts software in that causes it. We have a class action lawsuit going against Apple over it here in the states. Maybe that's it. Have friend with an android play one of your vids next to your I phone and see if the playbacks differ. Later Buddy 😎
It’s all iPhone we use here mate and it’s only in some videos and not others. I can press record up to 50 times in a video and it’s only random segments that do it. Mostly is ok. I may have to go back too the Sony camera. iPhone is just easy
@stevesplacedownunder Well it's just a thought Steve. They don't sell androids in Australia ? I didn't know that. The wife is giving up on her Apple. Everytime there's a problem it's with her phone and I just laugh. My Samsungs Rock ! 🤭👍
Like the orange realy makes it pop ..... VERY SMICK
Thanks Ron
Mate you say she’s rough but that K145 looks a treat. And yes if I ever get to see it in person I’ll be climbing under it to see the bald spots ha ha
Yeah mate I’m happy with it. I need a pit at my place where I can wash the properly underneath
@ yeah a pits a handy thing
Love that orange on the old k145👌
Thank you 🙏
Looking good K145
She looks great. You did well.
Thank you mate
Truck looks Super - K145
Thank you mate
Steve, the twin steer on the K145 is very cool, I have never seen such here in the states, thanks for the great videos, Cheers.
Hi mate thank you. Yes I’m not sure if there were many over there? I have been told by a few that there aren’t any
Kennys looking good Steve,trying to win hubby a new welder,K145
Thank you Donna. I wish I had a few to giveaway because there’s been a few comments like yours that have stood out that I would like to see it go too. You have as much chance as anyone else so hopefully 🙏
Its a bit nostalgic for me. Back in the UK I used to work on a fleet where we used to paint the chassis a Tekaloid colour called orange chrome, the cab used to be deep blue with an orange strip around them. Looks good now 😀. Code word K145
Hi Steve that would be a nice colour for a truck mate. Well done. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful mate! what a winner!
Thank you mate
You backed it up dropped the tray and drove off, top job. Looks good 👍 👍
Thank you Marc
That k145 would look good as a beaver tail
It will mate
Awesome work guys can't wait to see the finished K145 on the road picking up some more treasures in the future cheers guys
Thank you mate stay tuned for it

Fantastic mate thank you 🙏
The K145 looks mint in the colour combo
Thank you David
It will be nice to see that 4070A Transtar restored.
Mate the only reason it hasn’t been worked on yet is because I can’t find a windscreen for it. I can’t wait to restore it but until I can seal up the cab I can’t
Beaver tail with some kool ramp set up that b killa toy hauler k145 kwhoppa now thats kool!!
Certainly will be mate
Even before installing the tray, she's looking right tidy, mate. You're doing great work here. Thanks for sharing it with us! K145
And done, she looks spectacular. Doesn't have to look new, just well cared for. Reliable and well loved. Those look _perfect_ on a truck of her vintage.
Hi mate thank you. Yes I think it’s good just having them cleaned up and useable
Nice to see looking good Steve
Thank you mate

CODE WORD K145. Good job Steve, great to see some one that cares about old gear and can mount a spider wheel, keep up the good work mate.
Hi mate thanks for the nice comment. I’m glad you liked it🙏🙏
TNT Orange we built and painted a lot of bodies and trays and trucks for them. Looking good Steve.
Thank you Peter🙏
looking good Steve well done
Thank you George
K145 Looking very good! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you🙏
Beautiful truck.K145
That K145 is looking pretty snazzy! The orange accent on the wheels is a really nice touch. I bet that’s a nightmare to do a front wheel alignment on, tho it likely has a much better ride with those dual axles.
Thank you mate. Yes it drives and rides very nicely
Looking decent mate k145 🤙🏻
Thank you 🙏
The k145 is looking good mate 👌
Thank you mate
So good to see the old girl strutting her stuff in some new clothes Steve, really enjoyed this series watching her come along. Fantastic seeing these 'old skool' workhorses back in action, so well done to you and your mates ! All the best from the UK !
Thank you Denis. I’m happy with it mate. All the best from Sydney Australia
Effin ripper steve

Nice twin steer kenworth truck..looking forward to see this truck been put to work or taken to truck shows . Code word k145. Good luck
Thank you mate you may see it around hopefully
The beautiful old K145 has received much TLC. Congratulations to everyone involved giving it a spruce up. Nice 👍
Thank you John
Great looking truck mate. You and the guys and girls have done fantastic. Real asset to your fleet
Thank you mate it certainly is
That orange colour really suits that K145 looks like a brand new truck 👌🏼
Thank you mate🙏
Great job Steve and everyone who helped,the old K145 looks fantastic. 👍🏻🇦🇺

Thank you mate🙏
Nice k145 mate
Thank you mate
She is so awesome brother thanks to everyone who put hands on it to help you finish the Ole gal up
Looks awesomene Steve. Got to love the K145! Looks like you have a great team for support as well!
Thank you mate. Yes there were certainly some good helpers here
Got to hand it to ya Steve the ol girl cleaned up Nicely! Now for just a bit of bling for sure put on a set of train horns to keep the nondrivers inline! And hopefully youll polish the fuel tanks and to really dress up as a finishing touch have a bloke or honey give her a full on pinstripes from the bull bars to the tail lights maybe even add some stripes to give that all white cab some sprucing up! Oh yeah get some chrome lug caps and finish off the top job on the wheels! Look forward to see that old transtar sitting there be built up and on the road sometime soon ? Keep up the wonderful work!
Hi John thanks for watching mate. We may do more too it. I got a quote for a sign writer and it was way too much for me at this stage mate. Transtar needs windscreens then I will start that one. I can’t find any anywhere
@stevesplacedownunder have you searched for the glass here in the USA because there's countless transtars that are refurbished and running in lots of states and they may be a bit of searching but still available I know your gonna hit it up about the high cost of shipping to send it halfway around the world but surely you could contact a RUclips that could find some glass for a decent price and maybe like Lord Muck over in England he comes a few times a year to see various RUclips rs here and then goes back maybe could work with various others and pass the glass saving that high shipping. For sure take a bit longer to get it in hand but be worth the wait to have in hand and not out for outrageous costs. Just an idea bud. He'll if I was ever lucky enough to come down under I'd have em brought as baggage. I would do it by cruise ship not a plane . I'm sure that there's a way to workout the logistics for it. But it's just a thought. Whether it helps or not I tried bud! Be safe and carry on. See your next one soon I'm sure.
K145 cheers Mal.
Thanks Mal
She's a lovely truck right there,tidy and done on a budget,the orange chassis is a flash back for TNT colours wise,very cool
Thank you mate I’m happy with it
K145 Sensational!!
K145 and Boy is she starting to look terrific. Thanks Steve for a very entertaining video once again. I've been watching you for awhile now and will continue to do so. As a retired trucker, from journeys All over Aussie, driving both singles, B dubs in the eastern states, to Triples out of Perth to the NW,, I get a kick out of your informative vids. Keep it up mate. If I'm lucky enough to win the welder, it will be donated to a Scout Camp that I'm doing volunteer work for atm in Mt Macedon, Vic.
Hi mate I’m glad you enjoy what we do here. You’ve certainly done a lot more than I have. Fingers crossed you will win it mate. If I could I would send it straight to you for that cause. All the best mate
another great video K145
Thank you mate🙏
K145 not a big fan of orange, however its turned out really good mate, good lookin old girl
It’s a colour of the old days mate. It’s a family colour from years ago
Gr8 work on the chassis looks really good in Orange with the white cab. CODE WORD : K145 looking forward to seeing her running down the road
Thank you Peter. Keep an eye out for it mate
