Wow! It's so nostalgic! I can hardly see it in Japan now! The shift knobs of this era were so long that we called them "dry pole" shifts! 😁 Driving in the city is very tiring! 😓 They are tired from shift changes rather than driving! 😫😨😱 thanks Cheers!!

[@Robin_Works]

I especially love seeing them made a Dekotora. The Ichiban Boshi is also an HE right?

[@patodwyer721]

Excellent video Stavros. First truck I drove was a 336 and I loved it. Trailer brake was some job but you wouldn't want to be using it with an empty trailer on a wet road because the trailer might pass you out, no ABS back then. I remember in Waterford city a local haulier had the 336 in for a service, the driver took it out, the cab had not been locked down at the back, the driver was coming from Ferrybank towards the bridge, when he hit the brakes, the cab tilted and he ended up crossing to the other side of the road but luckily there was no other vehicle involved, that was in the days before walk around checks. Glen transport in Bansha Co., Tipperary had a nice fleet of them working out of Bell Lines in Waterford back in the days. It's a pity they are so rare now. It's great to see one good example.👍

[@johnjennings9693]

That driver that crashed in Waterford did his walk around checks after crashing

[@unknownaccount9263]

Not even a scratch on the fifth wheel of the Hino. Amazing painting.

[@Fireman9ify]

Hino used to be everywhere, there was some amount of tippers and concrete wagons in the 90,s

[@KevinBower-gy5be]

My dream video would be to see you getting behind the wheel of an early 1970's Fiat 690N3 8x2 with its matching 4-axle trailer. I have vivid memories of these things pulling 44 tons up huge mountain passes with only 180 horsepower in searing summer heat, usually in first gear with the engine screaming - and then with the brakes smoking as they came down the other side. Not much chance unless you do a 'Stavros969 Italian special' though. And then - go to Germany and drive some Bussing (underfloor engines !!), Magirus-Deutz (air-cooled engines !!) and Krupp from the same era. Fantastic. And then to France !! Unic, Berliet, Saviem - the list just goes on.

Remember the afternoon sitting in the classroom beside the dual carriage way and seeing these rare birds in northern Ireland, see mostly the volvo f86, f88, hino up here lots of cement mixers. And dumper trucks,, love seeing them still kept running,, BP used to run scammel twin steer tractor units,, loved the video thanks for sharing it with us from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated

[@bheyjay7003]

Japanese truck.. also Isuzu And Mitsubishi fuso I'm enjoy because we're Japanese trucks user here in Philippines. Happy to see old hino for now we're using hino 700 my buddy

Its quit a good truck the 700 But in Kenya we use 500 in place of FRR

[@truckerdude4813]

Brought back great memories back in the B +I days loved the Hinos great work horses they were feckers for the rust probably why theres not many around

[@killickfarms]

I had a 1985 hino sh. There was no limiter on it and I used to be able to hit 70mph. Rust and moss flying off it and leaving all the big cool expensive trucks for dead. Break your back though

[@rustamtrucking218]

In Tajikistan some people still drive old Kamazes with 210 hp 6x4 rigid. Before the used to carry 20 tons through mountain passes. In summer it was very hard with engine heating up and someone spraying water on radiator. Going downhill was even more challenging as engine break was weak. But now most of them drive used trucks from Europe mostly Mercedes Actros or DaF XF.

[@BritishBoy1971]

That was quite exciting to watch. Thank you Stavros! 🙂👍

[@drd6416]

This guy cracks me up... His enthusiasm is infectious... I can't help smile... Keep em coming Stav!

[@tgdontheline3252]

Great video as ever Stavros. Takes me back to my childhood. Never got near the heights of a HE, but a ZM was enough to sow the seed for my future. Thanks again Stavros.

[@demonnick666]

A bit of double de-clutching would have helped you going back down through the gears. I know because I’m an old lorry driver and it’s what we had to do.

[@lex1945]

I was thinking the same. My father taught me how to do it, in an old Hanomag.

[@johnjennings9693]

You are right I started out driving a Hino336 it was standard practice to double clutch

[@buickboy92]

This was a true treat Stavros! Amazing truck for sure. I just love all the little design details, not to mention all those wonderful colors and patterns. 👍

[@JoeHupp]

Great work, Stavros! You did well driving the big Hino....

[@southjerseysound7340]

That is an amazing restoration and I appreciate Mr Jennings sharing them with us. I'm also surprised at how old Hino is. They're realitively new to the US market, so it was a great surprise. As far as shifters go on some of the older cabover trucks go. They can really take some getting used to. I had a older UD wrecker and I never had to worry about it getting stolen because nobody could ever get past 2nd gear lol.

[@Spee78]

Very good job on restoring this beautiful machine. Suitable colors that match with its lines and rims too. It also has nice shape too.

[@antari0]

Now that's a real retro truck. Looking great. As always, thanks for the video, Stavros!

[@paulcash9813]

Thank you for this video, my late father drove a Hino back In the day.

[@paghieman807]

Japanese truck make simple but it done the job..and the priced a little cheaper than the european@american trucks..thats a nice Old style HINO..and IVECO...That gearbox of Hino a little bit special for those who had driven it...you had to stir it and double clutching to make it smooth..its common for old HINO...😄😄😄😄from Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@nigelmchugh5541]

I remember Hino's everywhere back in the early 1980's here in Ireland. The local dairy Co-Op had a steep pull up out of their yard, and I think the Hino's 1st gear was a bit high, cause they sometimes didn't load the last two pallets of meal until up out of the yard.

[@hamishkay3010]

Ahhhhh Double clutching i just love it lol amazing Hino truck

[@franburke]

Class video, these were everywhere in Ireland when we were growing up and I always thought they looked superb. Never got a spin in a HE but did in a ZM which was also great looking. Brilliant to see and hear one again, amazing restoration. You need to compare a Scania 141 to your new steed next!

[@paddyd8936]

I could never understand how Pip Dunn was so negative about hino’s in Classic Truck , I remember in the 80’s and 90’s how they were everywhere particularly in construction. Great video , thanks very much

[@boswood]

Excellent video, always loved the Hino HE since I was a little fella. As a kid, it was one of the first trucks on Irish roads with a sleeper cab, very impressive. Any chance you could do a some videos on older UK trucks like Fodens, Erfs, Scammells etc?

[@leighhogben1423]

Brilliant truck! A big thanks for showing it to us. Id love to see one here ! Super condition its in. 👍👍👍

Great vid Stavros, I have to admit I was pronouncing it wrong, I thought it was high-no not he-no as you said it. It looked amazing, very old - 1 year younger than I am, wow! It must have felt amazing to be able to drive it - I know you said it wasn't the oldest but still. Absolutely fab!

[@desktopdiddies5530]

The classics are still cool to see

[@imautuber]

Fantastic video, would love to see a review on a scammel crusader, I remember as a little kid being passenger in my uncles crusader while he was pulling a float in a carnival procession. I felt so important so high up hanging out of the window waving to people cheering and hearing the matching bands playing in front and behind us, as a kid it was a magical experience.

Ill always remember that nasal warning sound the hinos had before the air was built for brakes... And they had a stopper cable ... Key only started them.. Class trucks though... Manys the driver on Irish roads today... grew up as a co pilot in hinos ... mostly zm's as they were the larger of the rigids from hino..

As we here in Australia used to say back in the 1970's - 1980's He knows nothing that buys a Hino. Great resto great video that was the way it used to be. Lucky if you got a bed in a truck 350 hp was a big banger

[@cliffordpedley3216]

Hi there I used to drive one of these hinos I was working for a own driver running out of formica Newcastle he had a lovely daf 330 .Then he got this hino I remember when I saw it for the first time I was not sure wat to make of it it was black and silver I looked nice but unusual when I went on my first drive we were running out of formica we use to go with about 9/10 drops all down south it used to take 3/4 days I had cb in and they use to say wat is that you are driving I have been driving over 40 yars and I have never saw meny in the UK but I did like the daf better but the hino was a eye catcher I think it was about 1986 Andy Rodgers he was the first to have a try axle trailer at the time they were unusual

[@Baz79H]

I remember years ago when my family and I would travel down to anngrove carrigtwohill co. cork to see my Aunt and uncle On our way down to to cork I used to spot loads of Hino trucks they where everywhere ( mid 1980’s ) 😎👍

[@nickgriffin4934]

Looks fairly modern compared to the British trucks of the same era

[@matty6848]

Yep same here. I was impressed how modern it is for 1977. Looks more like the interior from the late 80s early 90s.

[@nickgriffin4934]

Definitely I agree 👍

[@tdx2444]

hi! i'm japanese. nice truck!!!

[@fnh8340]

As far as I know all Hinos sold in Ireland and the uk were assembled in Dublin. Pino Harris, founder of Harris Commercials had exclusive rights to import and sell all Hinos. He assembled them from parts from japan. Before the Celtic tiger economy took of in Ireland Hino dominated Irish trucking with well over 50% of the market. Cab rust was a big problem on the early models.

[@stephenredfern7536]

I ended up changing the nearside front tyre on my Fiat when the rim slipped braking on the M27 at Portsmouth. A pad weld either side of the lug cured any chance of a reaccurance

[@ferguson20diesel49]

I remember my dad had an old rigid hino. Cant remember what model. But it had an absolute weapon of a Viper fold up crane on it. Could nearly lift anything. Spent most it’s time time in Roscommon

The TRILEX wheels been very popular back in the days. I did use to drive a Iveco Turbostar back in the days( early 80s). Astonishing sounding V8 with a healthy 420 ps. Started in 1976....with a ol' Volvo F88.....trucking wasn't so luxurious as now🤣

In America we have Hino as well but only recently they have designed a class 8 truck, however it is only a daycab made for short hauls but for years they have been class 7 and under and they are pretty common to see around as short haul box trucks.

I love those old Hinos brings me back to my childhood, but I don't think that is 1977 truck as it would be a 335 not a 336 I could be wrong but that one with the big front bumper was for the UK I think it was to get around some English law could be wrong but what a great truck they built Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

[@michaelheimbrand5424]

Sounded a lot like the experience when driving my 1975 Setra S150H. About the same power but probably heavier than your empty truck. And I thing it´s the same gearbox ZF S6-90 (or something). Yeah, they need a bit of a warmup to be friendly. My bus has a Hanomag engine, also without turbo. Accelleration is not it´s best game. But with good planning you be surprised how much average speed you can get. For something REALLY slow. I once drove a mid 50´s Volvo bus with 115 hp. Surprised that it was even driveable. Ok, not funny at all to change gear. But it could actually cruise at around 70km/h with "no" problem (on even ground, on a hill, not so much). Funny memory: It had no power steering, but felt rather good anyway. When starting at a T-junction i heard the owner screaming when I started to change gear when steering. Ok, I stayed in first. That was a good idea. It really needed all muscles I had to make the turn.

[@thomasburke7995]

You need to travel to the states and drive some really old Mack's or peterbuilt..we are talking like 1930's to 50's and trucks with the Detroit diesels two strokes from the 60's
