Trucks that people may never have heard of, and then proceeds to list W900 (Smokey and the Bandit) and the Mack R series (Mad Max 2). As for the GMC Astro, they were sold in the U.K. and Europe, and GMC even had a dealership in Holland. There weren’t a lot of them in comparison to British and European brands, but I do remember seeing them on the roads when I was a child and they could be seen as far as the Middle East, due to there usage on Long Haul work.

I drove an Astro through the southwestern US many times. The "green house" windshield made it almost unbearable even with AC. Didn't miss waving it goodbye.

@@miscellaneous5697 I wish I could post a picture on here. In 1986, my first assigned truck was a 1977 Kenworth K100, back when cabovers ruled the asphalt. I liked them. Far easier to maneuver than trucks with noses. It's pretty telling that the United States in the only country where cabovers fell out of favor. My picture would have been me washing "my" Kenworth in a snowstorm because I wanted a clean truck!

The GMC Astro was a Decent riding truck for a cabover. Dad owned many different trucks along the way. Brockway, Autocar AT64, GMC General, Dodge Bighorns, Bicentennial Edition Aerodynes Cabover and W900, Liberty Edition W900, Peterbilt 359 Patriots, Western Star. I still own a few of them as I bought the Trucking company from my Dad in 1990.

I’m sorry this video is junk. You discuss the manufacturing of a Peterbilt 359 and show an International S-series cab assembly line. Then you interchange images of the Fleetstar and S-series when discussing the Loadstar. Then mention the Freightliner FLD but show an FLC, the predecessor to the FLD, which didn’t debut until 1989. I stopped watching after that.

This video just showed normal Class 8 trucks from the top brands. Also, in the first comment someone compliments your video then asks you about how to start out in cryptocurrency with $10,000 to start. 33 comments only about finances follow that comment which, did I mention, is the first comment that pops up. Every comment also seems to have a Chinese tone to them in the way that they flow.

Modern trucker here, Paccar is garbage. Cummins drives so much better and they stay together. Small displacement semi motors are not suited for 90k+ . I flat out won't drive for people that buy under powered junk or automatics. I got a pretty darn new Freightliner auto while my T800 18 speed was in the shop. I'm not kidding when I say I'd rather drive a 300 hp twin stick at 105,00. That thing was an absolute pile of shit. Absolutely terrible burn it to the ground. I'll stick to my KW and Pete's with 550 hp+ and 18's. I'll row a tired old twin stick before I get in another fucking automatic.
