Great find! You get those two sicks down, and you'll never get excited about an air shift transmission again! Thanks for sharing! oh ya.........what a great way to drive through the Yakima Canyon!

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

Congratulations on the new truck!!!! That is a sharp rig!!!

[@ammojeep]

Nice to see the old iron still rolling! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this one get cleaned up!

[@2020jd]

This is gonna be an awesome project! Can’t wait to see the transformation

[@stevejake4316]

I bet you the trailer for the ol girl is hauling log today. Very cool old units. Very clean.

[@reeseholler92]

I wish I knew Steve. The gent I bought it off of said he left the pup. It's probably still sitting in the weeds where it was left 20+ years ago

Awesome truck

[@garrettvillwok3693]

Awsome purchase man, can't wait to see it come together! She needs a straight stack so she can talk to ya.

That's cool, I looked at the add for that truck a few times, cool you ended up with it

[@michaellangdonful]

Cool truck! Too bad that you didn’t buy it to haul logs with. Or turn it into a dump truck. But either I would be putting this truck back to work daily!

[@MichaelTJD60]

Congrats on the new ride! Those needle nose KW's are staples of the logging industry in the Northwest...that's where the KW company started as a matter of fact. Looks like a pretty solid survivor of a truck too. Should make a great toy hauler once you get a 5th wheel on it. How difficult was it to learn the 4x4 shift pattern?

[@reeseholler92]

Wasnt too hard once I figured out where the splits were (once I got the tach working that helped exponentially). The main box split is a tough one as the gap is 700 rpm. Very easy to rush that shift. After about 3 hours, i was doing pretty good.

im jealous

[@reeseholler92]

It needs a little love yet, but it's a fun machine for sure

[@Daveforney-h2r]

What atruck😊

[@rudycarlson8245]

Do you think it’s gonna be hard to put a fifth plate on it?

[@reeseholler92]

No, its got the air lines already for the pup trailer so it'll be a matter of pulling the bunks and putting a plate on the frame

[@newjerseybill3521]

Is the auxiliary overdrive in 4th?

[@reeseholler92]

As far as I know

[@newjerseybill3521]

@@reeseholler92 The backwards shift pattern gave it away. :)

[@jarrodbinthenc6810]

Would it have come with those wheels?

[@reeseholler92]

I believe so. They're steel split ring, so from that era at least.
