Thanks to everyone who has watched, enjoyed and commented on this video. Alex is my "Outlaw-in Training" we spend not nearly enough time playing with the old iron. I didn't know he was going to post this on youtube, but it has really made me proud of him and his dedication to trucks. I made my debut in the left seat at 14 years old, then my dad was sleeping behind me at the age of 15, in a L-190 International pulling a flatbed on a narrow 2-lane highway. I'm only 71 years old now, I had to sell the KW due to a stroke and a brain tumor. Now we are building a 1950 International LD-405 like the yellow one seen in the video. (that one went to Florida). The 50 has a Big-Cam I Cummins, 7&4. Hopefully it will be going soon, we will make a video!Keep on loving old trucks!David McNeill

My dad was a trucker, we never got along, the dude scared the hell out of me, and he was not too fond of me, but one summer during my summer break and part of the fall, he needed some extra help, so he put me to work and taking me with him on his wood/log hauling trips.4:30 am - 6 or so every evening, 5 days a week, we never bonded, and that fall I moved out ...but my dad drove truck all through my youth and some into my adulthood, spring summer fall and the hell of those freezing cold Canadian winters. I realized how hard he worked and how lonely it got for him out on the road, before he took me along with him, he had a huge stuffed animal , and put it in the passenger seat and that was his company. The man worked long hard hours to put a roof over our heads, food on the table and clothes on the back. The older I get the more I reflect and think back to that time with dad in the truck, and the love and respect I now have for him and all he did.

no power sterring. I drove a 1987 freighliner coe it had ac but no power steering I hit a bump my head hit the roof. It was harsh. My first ride over I-40 heading towards Kingman AZ I smoked the brakes with 44000 lb of Levis I can believe I didn't wreck. Jake brake nah no such thing ., There was no air ride. In 1989 my company gave me a single bunk COE witha set back axle it was a lot better and it had ps. In 1990 I got a new double wide bunk freightliner bus with a cat engine I thought I was in heaven. I got pulled over at brownstown TN DOT and the nasty prick made me lift up the bunk and there was the owners manual and he said what is that and I said I don't know looks like a owners manual he made me take it out. Big deal then he shut my truck down for some lose bolt on the trailer I want to add that I worked for this horseshit company called KLLM for 3 months it was with qualcom early computer. This company was the worst, well I worked for worse. KLLM in 1990 did not have fuel guage in the truck you had to check the fuel with a yard stick and KLLM didn't have a heater in the tank if you ran into frigid weather your fuel would jelly if you didn't buy something, KLLM made me sleep in a bunk house at the terminal in Jackson MS it was the worst company ... I made it 4 months. This is not the company I am talking about above hauling Levis from Waco to Henderson that was triplce crown.

I loved this- I will always remember traveling down old Hwy 99 before the interstates in my dad's KW Bullnose with the Cummins pulling a Brown trailer. My mom & I would ride with him once or twice during the summer for his weekly run from Seattle to Los Angeles hauling shingles & shakes. Like Mr. David said, no power steering, no air conditioning, and a great loud sounding engine. I sure was a lucky little girl. I used to sit on the cover between the seats and check out the road. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I think one stick contains the main gears, and the other one is called auxiliary transmission. Basically you have four different gear ratios for each main gear, a 16-speed.

Before my Dad passed, all he wanted was for me to try my best be the first in our family to go to college. Dad, I found a good home for your Kenworth and it helped get me through college. Did one better for you, got my masters degree as well. I held on to a couple grand from the sale of your Kenworth over the years, invested it, and now that extra cash is going towards your Grandson's college fund. He's a good boy Dad, but you know that already. The sound of this ol' Kenworth brings back great memories. 👍

I love watching videos like this. They take me back to the 80's when I learned to drive our farm truck. We had an old Mack with twin sticks. Dad told me if I could drive that then I could drive anything. It took me a few tries to figure it out but I got it. I wouldn't wants to run it every day but it was a great learning experience. I'll take my Freightliner with just 1 stick for every day but I still see the old Mack every now n then hauling grain. I'd love to jump in and find out if he remembers me!

Thank you for sharing that...it is forgotten too often of how far we have progressed in 100 years. my dad drove truck, like his dad, and being a driver myself...well damn. there are somethings you cant say with words...thank you for reminding everyone that heard the message... what message? That old way of doing things come to go, as did the way before. memories are made and connections are strengthened, and that togetherness is becoming endangered by our own fear of the inevitable. 2 years of caution has given what results today? the facts are available to all, but its easier to have it spoon fed to us by some stranger on tv. be with those you call family, and as this world breaks into the dawn of war again...memories are bulletproof and cant be taken. thank you for rattling my memories a little...and the chance to live to make more...

You can tell just by the way he handled that truck, he put a lot of miles behind the wheel of a big rig...almost like he's one with the truck. Driving it I'd kinda like a bicycle I guess; ya just never forget.

What a driver. I miss the old days. .. . . . It's been 3 years since I've run an old Sam Tanksley 352 Pete doing OTR . . . manual steering & windows, single bunk. Drove it off & on for an outfit in Cincinnati from 1987 until 1997. . . then bought it in March 2007. Still have it . ... .

A really nice truck- nice aluminium dash with the necessary instrumentation. No flashy chrome. And an expert behind the wheel.

I drove truck for nearly 20 years. I gave it up to turn a wrench and be home with the family every night. I got to tell you it takes a real man to drive a twin stick. My hat goes off to you.

My dad just died last February and he was not just a worker at the wheel, he was a real truck enthusiast. I remember seeing him drive that type of truck with two speed levers. Greetings to that great great driver of the video, who reminded me of my dad. Greetings from Mexico City
