Sit back and enjoy a fine example of a survivor 1947 logging KW from the west coast. Located near Erie, Pa.....This one is FOR SALE as well!!!
That old K whopper will make someone a great restored truck. I am in no shape to own and work on one any longer, but it is a piece of history, just after WWII. Thanks for showing us, Wayne, and Dane.
That is a classic. I hope it finds a good home. It definitely has restoration potential
I was usually kind of indifferent to KW's, but now I have to say: what a cool old truck! I hope someone buys it and restores it. Very cool!
I surely remember some of these when I was a kid in Arizona. By then they were used mostly as cattle, grain, cotton or hay haulers. Lots of memories. Loved the bubblenoses and other makes/bodystyles that were still out there at the time.
I would restore/refurbish totally stock, no chrome stuff, just an old school truck.
WOW it was great to see that engine fire up and come back to life!!!
And safeway trucks
@@ronmeidlinger249 Yeah we had a Safeway distribution center in Tempe, AZ. Lots of their trucks everywhere. Haven't lived there in 32 years but i'm assuming it's still there.
I had a old friend, he's gone on know ,but he shoehorned a3408pct in that frame ,it was all for show as that little radiator would never keep that motor happy at work
O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 Brrrrrrr…this is a cold & windy day, but a great day to watch a clip on an old KW 525.🥰 I immediately thought it was early 50s & an old log truck. I hadn’t even noticed the header…47 KW. Hey, that light under the hood was for when the driver would raise the butterfly hoods at night & go down the road showing off his engine. That was his mood lighting. Hehehe!😃 That was the 1st thing I thought of even before he pointed the light out. Those almost look like 10.00x20 tires.🧐 Hey, I have a good set of rears that could go under that thing. He did say it was double-framed, right? Wow! That would be one SWEET ROLLIN KW.🥰 Could it be driven onto a trailer without the brownie transmission? I just really have no idea. This was a treat! This is a little older than my 51 REO. Talking about having a good piece of history!🥰🤩✌️
Awesome project if I only had my Health!!! Hope someone makes her beautiful again!!!
what a beautiful classic truck Dane your videos never disappoint me and my husband Dan I hope it finds a good home and gets totally restored keep these awesome videos coming 😀
You bet Shelly...blessings thanks for watching as always! :)
I learned on a ‘47 KW. It didn’t steer or stop very well, and was tough to make respectable shifts. Not many creature comforts. But every other truck I drove after it seemed easy. Gimme about 5 minutes and I’ll bet you a beer I can still mix a 5 and 4 😁
I'm sure ya can sir,I bet its like riding a bike you never forget how.
Hah I'd be honored to ride shotgun and watch 😬
Had a 5 and 4 in a 77 international. Just used the 4 for range and pretty much just shifted the 5. Not much for hills where I was at so it worked well.
a qualidade desses trucks é incrível! kenworth de 1947 ou seja 75 anos de fabricação e ainda funcionando perfeitamente Fantastico!!
Si..
That would make one hell of a RV ,there can't be too many straight framed Kenworth out there
First tractor i drove (learned in) 48 KW W 900 262 (same 220 with turbo added) and a 5 and 4 probably the same bungee cord holding the doors shut as well
Lol, wow! What a heritage… hat tipped Driva.😬👍
UAU! Liked so much watching this video about this old truck Kenworth! Cummins engine! I though it would not work! But it works very well! I liked it! Very good
It RUNS ! That IS an oldie. The fall colors are great this year. Lets go for a ride !
Nice piece of iron from a simpler time. I would restore it to original stock . Thanks for another great video. Keep the shiny side up
Definitely old school cool, that will make someone a nice project for this winter. Thanks for sharing Dane, see you on next one. 👋
Thank you for sharing the 47 Kenworth
And ThankYOU for watching. :)
With that Butane gauge on the dash I'd almost bet that KW was orignaly Hall-Scott powered ! Very common on the west coast in that era.
Awesome truck Dane !!! Hope it finds a good home !!!!
Love these old classics!!!
Beautiful truck 🤠👍
I hope someone scoops this one up and give it the love it deserves. Them old Cummins just dont quit as you clearly seen in the vid.
Man wish we had these in new zealand, great video as always Dane
Thanks Andy
Wayne has a beautiful collection of classic Iron.. I spoke with him ..wish you were living closer...
I know Ed, then we could rub shoulders with that awesome General!!!:)
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE yes the truck shows down south are awesome
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE And always love to horse trade for parts...lol
Great Episode
Thanks Buddy, though I’m sorry I couldn’t locate a Monte locally to include. 😂
Very cool! If you ever get a chance to check out an old Oshkosh, those are beasts with beauty.
Man what a cool old rig. I ran a crane for a number of years that had a 220, they sure would bark. Thanks bud! Maybe you could explain the difference between a needle nose and a wide hood at some point, it's a bit confusing as A model Kennys came both ways I think. Cheers bud!
self explanatory, bigger motors need more cooling as in bigger radiators.
If you want to see more Kenny's like that, check out the Seattle Fire department archives, they had a whole fleet of those
Yep that's a log hauler for sure I knew it as soon as i saw that doubled up long frame .to bad the bunks are gone and the pup trailer that went with it .Still she's a beauty .I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it .i have the space and the will to bring her back to shape just not the money It's too bad to because i live in Washington state where she most likely did some work . I love that Tachograph .
Wow She is a keeper. Wish I had the talent to restore her.
What a wonderful old truck.
That's a "H" model Cummins, the intake and exhaust manifolds on same side, when they went to 4-valve head the intake was moved to the other side (fuel pump side) of the engine. Probably has a single or double disc fuel pump, the PT pump was not yet designed in '47. It sounded good though!
It definitely was a sweet old truck. 😬👍
From a time when trucks were TRUCKS and men were as tough and gritty as a strip of 50 grit.
love that KW, looks like you're having fun with Joyride, bet it rides pretty smooth vs a COE, still love Crackerjack and BlueJay.
Yes I agree I still love the “Jimmy” Bros. Lol. Joyride is definitely a whole different experience to drive and enjoy.
Hello Dane,
Another interesting video sir. If I had the money I would love to have something like that. I would bet it's got some really slow gears in the rear axles. Still that would be very fun to restore.
The exaust pipe remeber me something, but i did not was so glad 😂, inside the exaust case there was a wasp nest and wasps was very very ungry after the pressure shot out the nest 🤣. 2 hours closed inside the cabin...
Lol …. Thank goodness there wasn’t 😮
Hope someone saves her.. she's in really solid and restorable shape!!
don't think that was confetti flying out of the pipe..but she sure did blow it out..great looking truck for sure..
I know right? 😬👍
Hard to believe that is a 1947. Unbelievable condition. It doesn't look much different in side than a 1979 Pete 359 inside. Nice one on the Balls as well Dane I got a good laugh. Loggers are no different than the Mexicans when it comes to partying, Lol. I enjoy your channel and love the area you are in. I used to live over in Sherman NY. Northern Ohio, Erie PA, and Western and Northern New York, are some of my Favorite Rust Belt Areas.
Thanks Owen, a little humor is always good medicine lol. 😬👍
Kenworth sounds great , I must say Dane you've got the 359 Looking Sharp , Mild Resto Job WELL DONE SIR , ,, Hope the ole KW finds a home , Safe Travels Dane and thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍.
Thanks David, I've only just begun lol. :)
No smoke wow!
Dane that old timer sounds pretty good.
Cool score man. I fancy myself knowing a thing or two about em and sure seems like it may have been set on different frame? almost positioned like an SBFA and not sure KW did that and PLEASE GET THAT SQUARE TANJK OFF!! LOL! I find your taste in different eras and models of semis Dane. Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca
Only place you'll hear those old Cummins engines are at truck shows!
And she's a runner to boot!!
I know it's an H series engine, he said 220 hp but be nice to see if engine plate still readable
hope it finds a good home
I don't have a shop anymore or I'd make an offer. I'd restore it and make a motor home out of it. With that long frame it'd be perfect.
Sweet it runs even! Make a nice restoration truck for some one with the time and knowledge to work on it.
Nice video Dane, hard to beat a GMC and i love that new intro song. Btw are you aren't this isn't a K521?
Thanks Kyle. I’m not sure the exact model designation. He did sell it right after the video.
Same model truck used in the movie duel with denis Weaver
The rig used in the film, was a 1954 peterbilt 281 model. I loved the film, and since .my dad was a trucker, figured I would find out about the truck.
Well, it certainly is close but that one was a Peterbilt. I had the same thought though....make it "Son of Dual" lol.
Duel 2 coming soon 😂
I love the sound of the old supercharged Cummins with a backdrop manifold and open exhaust, almost as much as the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit. Imagine how awesome it would sound with that muffler removed!
I know right? AND under load. 😬👍
Is that the 275 HP one and 743 cubes. Dane's a legend.
I'd love to have this, but I wonder what the shipping to my house would be? Maybe 1,200 miles? The paint is perfect for a detail and paint correction
Yes it is. Put a cool stack on it and it’ll be killer
Thanx for this awesome vid. Rebuild that Kdub, put a wet kit on it and hook a belly dump to it. It'll still make money. BTW, how many times u been told u look like David Byrne? ;-) keep up the great work!
And thanks for watching. That’s the first time lol. 😬
Hey buddy I still have those patches an stuff for you I do not know how to send them to you buddy good to see you again see you soon
Tommy my email is:
sdgraphics@gwcmail.net
I'm sorry to say but that's not a W900 that's a 521
Another very interesting video. But I have to ask a question about the truck. Is there anyone in the US who can tell me how wide this Kenworth range is, at the rear of the cab and over the fenders? I'm a model builder and would like to build a truck like this, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about it on the internet. Maybe here?
The truck sold about a week after the video was recorded. 😩
Awesome, did trucks from that time only have 4 roof lights or perhaps one was removed. Also noticed no horns, though they might have been removed as well.
None were required in the '40s. They must have added them later.
Is that an old “iron lunger”? Blower mounted on the side of engine?
Man such cool old kenworth truck what he asking for it
It sold right after the video.
The aux transylvania would be a hard find but not impossible
That was brand new when my father started driving for his uncle. And when this was new phrases like “needle-nose Pete” that refer to narrow radiator Peterbilts wouldn’t be developed for decades.
351 was introduced in 1954.
@@struedel25 My father returned from French Indo-China in late 1954 or early 1955. His ship was transporting refugees from Haiphong to Saigon in Operation Passage to Freedom.
@@kennethjackson7574 Very nice. My dad was drafted to Korea. He didn't want to go so he took an MOS that would get him out as quickly as possible. He choose EOD.
@@struedel25 While in Korea my father had been clearing mines in harbors. EOD plus SCUBA.
@@kennethjackson7574 A very dangerous job. I'm glad they lived to tell stories about it.
Now that's a truck you should buy or 406 diesel
Any chance you could find me a 1943 kenworth?
I’ll try and remember to mention it on the channel. I’m sure there’s one out there still.
Looks a lot like an Autocar
How much for the old truck
It’s been sold Danny.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE k
Similar al Peterbilt 281?

Long gone my friend

I tried to capture it in the video.
