To this day I reckon I have viewed this about 40 times now. Believe it or not folks, this video inspired me to follow on with my dreams of upgrading my licence from a Heavy Rigid here in Australia to Heavy Combination licence and now roll in 22 wheelers. I have my moments working in this industry but then I come back to this and it sets me straight on why I do what I do.... Keep safe out there drivers and god bless you all. The Brotherhood and sisterhood never stops.

What a beautiful sound the same as the truck in the movie Duel; superbly restored Kenworth, a great truck indeed.

I've got goosebumps after hearing that truck working hard, and what a wonderful place to do it, stunning truck and scenery.they don't make them anywhere as beautiful as the old wagons and it's great to see a guys so passionate about them .

The sound is awesome. That Deep Throaty sound what an awesome truck.

Just can't stop! I've watched this for the 5th time, now! The best! WillyB

So beautiful and majestic. The older the truck the better in my book. Anyone who agrees let me hear a HELL YEAH.

As soon to retire UK trucker, all I can say is power to the Osborne family. If I was driving rigs like that, they'd never get me to retire.

How could 186 people not like this. It's a beautiful piece of engineering.

Just imagine a young car jackets face when they got in this tractor, priceless. Didn't know shifting was an art form, that is so cool! Thanks.

this is incredible!!! love the vid, the audio, the truck, simply incredible. gorgeous. that Cummins is music!! what a song she sings. you drive that rig like a true gentleman, not a hiccup swapping gears in those twins at all. Roll on!

That has got to be the best sounding truck ever. The delicate sound of thunder.

I grew up in Farmington, New Mexico. My father drove for P.I.E. in the 50s and 60s. Then went over the road for the next 20 years or more. He used to take me all through this country--Durango, Silverton, Ouray. He started teaching me to drive when I was 9 years old. By the time I was 12, I was driving the family station wagon and his '49 Chevy Pickup everywhere. Taught me how to drive his White Freightliner when I was 17. Oh, the memories...

What a beautiful old Kenworth! And beautiful scenery as well.

I love these old trucks! There's something charming about them.

Awesome to see people are preserving history. Sweet ol' rigs like this show what real trucking is all about.

Fantastic truck neighbors!! ty for showing this! peice of awsum history from IDAHO!! Roll on big mama!!

I get teary eyed seeing these old trucks. My dad and his best friend were truckers in the 60s. My dad quit trucking in the 80s to stay home with us. My dad's friend kept driving until he passed a couple of months ago. What a great truck and a testament to the hard working people and equipment that made this country what it is today.

That has to be one of the best old truck videos on net! An old truck that can deliver an a driver that knows her from the tires up and has a real understanding of the touch of driving her with just the touch she needs to be happy.

Love old KWs & Petes. Everything about this vid is a thing of beauty--from the truck to the scenery. Love it.

What a beautiful piece of machinery. I drove in the 90's and early 2000's...I can't imagine what it was like driving cross country in a truck like that back then...nothing but two lanes and little ole roadside diners. Real truckin' right there.

If that ain't the prettiest and best sounding truck, I'll eat my hat.

I Think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and heard!

Wow what a beautiful old kwhopper 😊 warms my heart to see it driving 👍🏻👌🏻

Total piece of work. Top notch resto ride and roar!!

That is some masterful shifting on that twin stick. Absolute gorgeous restoration - thank you!

What a pretty lady goin' up that mountain. Beautiful voice too.

I could listen to that exhaust all day... That's a real truck.

Wow she sounds soo sweet....I must say that I like that vintage bus in the background.

love the sound of those backdrop manifolds!

i can listen to this all day .it is a work of art .and true music to my ears littarary

How could 375 people not like this. It's a beautiful piece of engineering.

That is nothing short of spectacular. I actually wept a little watching this. That restoration is like. ....WOW!! I mean. I'm in the the UK. So get to many American trucks, so yo see this amount of dedication to upholding a true tradition of trucking like this. Well. All I can say men , is God bless ya. And God bless America. Love toyall.👍👍😁

Man dang dang man I could listen to that in my sleep! What a sound truly one of the best I've ever heard on the tube. Gorgeous tractor great job!

My god the sound of this truck is amazing; It makes my ears tingle!

The first truck I ever drove professionally was a 49 KW hood. It couldn't pull hills for beans but it got the job done. That was 1978. My favorite trans combo was the 4x4. It took a bit getting used to, especially on hills when you had to downshift your butt off.

The sound of the days when trucks were trucks!!! I miss these old trucks and the sounds!

That is a seriously nice truck, and it sounds great too!

Listening to this and other twin stick tractor videos, I remember as a kid the multiple times a truck would shift from a start. With my Tonka trucks I would make 5 or more shifting sounds. In my memory of those sounds (which, at 64, I still make when alone!) I now know where they came from. Thanks for giving me a glimpse at my own early years.

That 49 is a real truck and these old trucks need to be preserved for future generations !

Wonderfull! The truck, the sound from the exhaust, the hard work of the driver! Real American culture...

It's great to see this beautifully restored classic out on the road. I learned to drive a truck on a 1955 Mack Fire Truck and have a great appreciation for old metal in good shape. We had a 5 speed in that so it was a lot simpler to drive but still had to double clutch through the gears unless you got really good then you didn't use the clutch. I got there after a lot of practice...

the sound of that truck is something i wont forget. i miss the mighty roar that trucks once had.

One of the finest drivers I've ever seen, he works the hell out of it. Jesus, .. magnificent.

Perfection. Exhaust sounds great too.

Amazing landscape and country! Good to see the old girl still running!

Something about watching these old trucks does a person good! Loved the sound and the look. Thats a beautiful truck!

That is 1 Beautiful Truck... sounds so great... think of all the souls that have drivin that truck.... I bet they are with ya,,,wow

Haven't see Silverton and Molas Pass for decades. Beautiful place.

Beautiful truck in beautiful country. And that SOUND!

What a beautiful truck I could listen to her heart beat all day

Trucking through the mountains of Wyoming listening to that motor and experiencing the feel of driving that baby, Oh how sweet it is !

This is an awesome rig! I can tell the driver is very proud of it. Kenworth has always built their road tractors to last a long time. The fact this rig is having a second life after a lot of TLC (an excellent job!) proves it. These old rigs are worth restoring and preserving. Some are still in active revenue service. I also liked the (too short) glimpses at those cab-over Freightliners and especially that old conventional Mack!

Wonderful Sound!!!

The fellas involved in the making of this video are worth the watch alone.. awesome work guys

wow that would be really nice to see in person.

And to think I was the last guy that could drive a two stick, how dumb could I be.I grew up riding in a 1947 with a 6-71 and a 5 & a 3. Power steering what are you crazy? A great video thanks for the memories.

This is really cool movie. You should see the 1959 Mack Mike has. It is an honor to know the Osborne family and thanks for all the help they given me. Thanks for teaching me how to drive trucks. The little Osbornes growing up are very intertaining. Thanks Al

God I would kill for a ride in that beautiful classic!

I could watch and listen all day 🤗

love the sound crank the volume up brings back memories, my first truck was a split shift .

Beautiful sound!

Why on earth would ANYONE give this video a thumbs down? It's wonderful this family thinks enough of American heritage to spend their hard-earned money restoring, preserving, and SHOWING us this beauty!!! What a classic.

I had a huge smile on my face through the whole video. Great job and what a beautiful beautiful truck.

Dad you were awesome mom Zachary and I really loved it😀The Kenworth is awesome!!!

Also gotta say; the scenery is Gorgeous around there 🤩🥰

That's one sweet looking truck thank you for showing it to us. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN. Happy New year 2023

Has to be one of the most beautiful trucks I've seen in my life...wow.

That Cummins made my chest hair grown an inch, makes me want to fight a bear or something.

Very nice video remind me of how my dad used to drive double clutching and all I just retired about five years ago due to health reasons I got 35 years of driving in and I figured that was plenty The last seven or eight years of my driving career I did over size and supersize stuff

Boy oh boy that brought back memories!

Love old trucks . Started driving at twelve . Getting beets out of the field and to the sugar mill. Have you started the hunt for a old trailer for it ?

Still able to deliver loads as is now. Beautiful rig. Love the sound.

Love this. Just retired after 42 years of trucking (mostly). Imagining driving across the old US 30 before I 80 and I 84 were built. First time seeing a duplex/triplex transmission shifted. Father in law drove them - a bit before my time.

Beautiful and classic looks

What a legend, 1/2 an acre of diamond plate on the back, immaculate! PS: The tankers and log trucks still do 5 or 6 MPH up the hills on the Alaska Hiway in northeast BC so not that much has changed! Going 90 on the other side maybe changed but a 4 wheeler probably couldn't pass then and sure can't today...

Super truck and really nice guy/family. Took quite o bit of time to talk to me about his trucks in Yakima. Some great examples of restored trucks and even cooler stories of the olden days! Thanks for posting!

Awesome looking and sounding truck.

I drove a twin stick back in the '70s- it surely kept me busy. That's a very nice truck and some beautiful countryside.

Beyond superb Mr Clark...near emotional...days of yesteryear

That engine sounds amazing.

You got to love the older trucks from the late seventies on down

What a beautiful piece of history. I want it. You’re so fortunate.

That exhaust manifold sure makes it sound sweet, bet that dude really cackles and has that good bark on a grade when it's loaded.

Great video and location. Thank you Mike, Tom and the rest of the people who participated in the show as it was a great time.

Awesome video and great looking truck

I would love to reinvigorate an old truck such as this. I watch this video often. The sound of that engine is soothing.

wow..thank you for this video..makes me feel even more proud to be a trucker

15:06 balancing the throttle because he's in no rush, he KNOWS the gear is in that rpm range and just needs a bit of fine tuning. Sweet.

Thank you for the video. That truck is beautiful. It reminds me of the trucks I grew up around. I like the two sticks. During it’s time in service drivers were professionals. Not like drivers today that have to have automatic transmissions. They also carried themselves as professionals not like the excuses we have today for drivers.

Jesus! The 2 handed shifting! I could never handle that. Hats off

Mike, that has to be the best truck video I have ever seen, your skill and knowledge of them old trucks is awesome. I wish I could have made it down there, next year for sure. My hat is off to you too Tom Clark, nice job

That's a beautiful KW, Love the cabover pulling it.

This is a very important part of North American trucking history. 2 thumbs up to this family for their hard work and dedication to preserving part of it.

MIKE: THIS IS THE 900th TIME I HAVE WATCHED THIS! KEEP SHOWING HER & I'LL KEEP WATCHING! THE BESTEST LITTLE TRUCK IN THE WEST!

Absolutely Beautiful!! The first truck I drove was a 67 KW , 335 Cummins with a 5 + 4 trans. I was the second driver to ever drive this narrow nose beauty!

Lovely Truck lovely sound. good old days :-)

That design was decades ahead of it's time.

I would love to shift that old beast like a boss....so cool...what a nice machine!

That was a top class video in a stunning truck and what looks to be a fantastic part of the world.

Thank you for preserving this history. Excellent video and especially the audio.
