I got to see America through the windshield as a kid in one of these. My uncle traded in his IH for a K100 and that was the first year I was allowed to ride with him on summer vacation, my first cross country was at 9 years old and I cherish those memories. Out of all the parties, cars, girls, music, those are the times I wish I could relive. I have stacks of cracked Polaroids and 110 pics from NY to CA. and I treasure them, they let me remember a care free time and my uncle that I loved dearly. RIP Lemonhead, just like me, my uncle Pat had blonde hair, so that was his handle. The fuel was cheap, the food was great, the people were civil, the BS was minimal, nobody washing their feet in the sink at the truck stop and I wish I had a time machine, lol.

[@MEGACAB59]

One of the best looking K100 I've seen, whether in person or online. Glad he didn't stretch it out like so many out there. Keeping close to the way it came from the factory.

[@thomaswilson8634]

Paul the highway Hilton that is in the museum that hank good donated is the sharpest k100 working truck.

[@mintyman1968]

@@thomaswilson8634 hank put too much accessories for my tastes

[@thomaswilson8634]

@@mintyman1968 Thats what made it unique. That truck is known from coast to coast. The days of real truckers and hard trucking. Not many left. But with that said I DO NOT MISS them rough riding cabovers not one bit. Lol lol.

[@terryfairway1097]

I agree hands down.

[@claytonbrown7100]

Couldn’t said it better myself.

[@CRQ5508]

Simply gorgeous. That particular stripe pattern was called “Cherokee” in KW brochures.

[@stephensabatos898]

I love those trucks , fast Eddie has definitely taken some pride in keeping such a beautiful piece of equipment alive and looking beautiful!...

[@Teggy96]

Probably the nicest k100 that isn't a show truck like lots of them have become. Nice to see one restored to factory.

[@nednobody3253]

Short wheelbase, Got to climb a ladder to get in. Everything inside needs to be tied down to tilt the cab to work on the engine. Getting dressed laying down, No hood out in front to give some protection in collisions. Keeping warm in freezing conditions is a chore in these. I drove several cabovers in the mid 80s when I first started trucking., But my altime biggest problem was always lack of leg room for my 6ft 2in body. Good looking truck but Having a hood was so much better. Ask anybody who remembers driving cabovers in Nebraska,Illinois, or PA on Interstate 80. before they did the big repaves in the late 80s These things would beat you to death on the frost heaves of the old days. Short wheelbase for city is wonderful but on the open road with crappy roads your body paid a big cost.

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

@@HuskyGamersUNITE my Uncle did. Still have pictures. Also an old Ford cab over with the little coffin sleeper

[@daviddickey4331]

This one Beautiful K100 aerodyne tractor. This has all the bells & whistles. This is the true American Dream. I fell in love with a 1981 K100E right out of middle School when the TV show B.J. and the Bear ended.

[@stevenwallace5990]

Unbelievable beautiful truck looks brand new whoever restored this truck was on point!!!!!!! ..... simply jawdropping!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimmycline4778]

It’s so nice, but I don’t think the interior matches good!

[@gwstonemason]

Total credit to Fast Eddie, love your proper working truck. Perfect non stretched out wheelbase. Thanks from a fellow K100 owner in Oz.

[@larryk4146]

Thanks Andy I have driving for 49 years. You just brought back memories of the K100 I drove in the 80's with a turned up 400 cummins with a 15 over.

[@htdriver2012]

I started driving in 1987 and these are what I started driving. That truck is absolutely beautiful. Even though most of the cabover trucks road rough, they were massive good looking trucks. I wish they would make a comeback.

[@joeyjaquez82]

My uncle had one of these back in the day… by sure were a beautiful piece of work… loved to help clean and polish the chrome son that beauty… same blue color… man the memories of all the kids getting together and just thinking we were all that for helping my uncle out…

[@Donald_Shaw]

That was one good looking Kenworth truck. Thanks Andy for showing us around this beauty.

[@edwarddavis507]

That is a 1/2 million dollar truck! Happy Thanksgiving from the U.S. What a nice treat for the holiday. Thank You Eddie for sharing!

[@gr8deadfan75]

Wow! This is by far the best-preserved K100 Aerdoyne I've ever seen. Simply flawless.

[@jamiemcdole4518]

I drove a 1980 K 100 that truck rode like a large car Hoodia it has 8 bag suspension, 400 big cam Cummings with 13 sp 1250 tourge. It was one of the best trucks ever.

[@kenohara3917]

Drove one of these in Australia back in the early 80’s, had a 92T on torsion bar suspension with 18 speed RR. After driver R model Mack’s with this company prior to getting this for about 4 months I thought I was in heaven. Fantastic rig.

[@kiwidiesel]

I used to drive an 88 K100E with a 3406b caterpillar that was turned up to about 500hp, loved that truck.

[@randywhelan8944]

Man , that's a great looking K 100 Awesome of the owner to share it with everyone.

[@larryw5429]

Best looking cabovers ever built! IMO best looking trucks ever built!

[@anthonydowns45]

This bring back some great memories. I was blessed to have a job driving the exact same type of truck. With all bells and whistles like this truck. It was a great joy.That is a beautiful truck!!

[@BoeingJetTech]

My dad had a buddy of his that was a diesel mechanic babysit me after school in 2nd grade. Super nice guy, he'd leave his shop (just down the road) to pick me up and take me back to the shop until my dad picked me up. As soon as you said "that smell" wow, I know exactly the smell you're talking about. Great memories. PS: the cabovers with the two stripes on the side that wrapped in the front look much better than a single stripe.

[@007outtacontrol]

I miss that smell too😢❤

[@jeffspicoli6088]

Grew up loving the KW Aerodynes, both COE and Conventional. Gorgeous and brings back many memories.

[@robertsimpsons3315]

My dad had a Kenworth like that when I was 8 years old trucks have come along ways

[@sherriewatson4155]

What a beautiful K100. I don't actually drive trucks, but I do love them and I do drive them in ATS (American Truck Simulator). I have a deep appreciation for these trucks and their drivers. Thank you for bringing this amazing truck to us. I love your videos.

[@viarnay]

Here another chair driver :- 1

[@Cherokeelion]

I drove an 87 k100e for years. It actually was a smoother ride than youed expect, probably one of my favorite trucks in the years Ive been behind the wheel.

[@TAURON85]

As a European, I've never seen any K100 real life, but as far as I can tell it has always been my favourite truck since I was lil' kid.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

It’s a good choice

[@donrilett8982]

Oh my Andy......you brought me back to my childhood. What an amazing looking truck. Fast Eddie is one lucky man.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Hi, here is Andy, from germany. This is a very nice Truck! 👍👍

[@hardheadjames3624]

I only owned 1 truck in my life. 88 K100. I'm retired now, diabetes, and I never should have sold my truck. Fast Eddie's ride is beautiful.

[@johnmcclean7390]

WOW. I worked with a fellow back in the late 70's. He had a 1974 K100 with a 350 cummings in it. We moved furniture for North American Van lines. Jerry had a great paint job on it (Blue and white) with the OX Blood interior. The truck was originally red and silver with the standard 2 28" bunks.

Currently driving a K104 in Australia, thanks for the video.

[@ronhelman3985]

What a beautiful truck!!! I sure miss the old trucks. The first truck I drove was a 1973 k 100

[@randyhale4181]

They should bring this one back into production it would sell big time.

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

Australia has the K200 but I think the K100 is the Sharpest looking

[@Retired88M]

They just might have to since Walmart convinced Canada to go to 60 foot trailers the states probably aren’t far behind. Just make them ride as good as their Euro counterparts

[@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures]

@@Retired88M oh wow really? Didn't know that. Florida had some 60 footers back in the day

Better than anything new sitting on your lot. That's a fact

[@lauriea2971]

I love this truck. It’s my favourite rig of all times. I built a plastic model of this rig with a trailer and painted in company colours of North American Van lines where my step dad was the area manager in Grand Prairie, Alberta and I went with him every summer in that rig back in 1984/85. I give him the model for Xmas. Tysvm on reminding me about that memory. It was fun

[@mikebas7325]

Insanely beautiful truck. Awesome paint color, love the old school styling from the gauges and the whole interior. Always loved these since I was a kid, hopefully one day I will get to drive one. Fast Eddie has a real gem right there.

[@louiskats5116]

Goodday Andy, Absolutely stunning K 100E always a classic look plenty of them here working hard in Australia. Love the double stacks & intake pipes but here in Australia there would be the intake filter canisters 2 of them on the back cradle between the stacks. With a 15 double overdrive & 3.55 : 1 arse end & 425 Hp Caterpillar that is a 100 mph banger. Cheers Louis Kats from Melbourne, Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

[@christianlacasse2937]

Nice truck that guy had it for so many years we did everything beautiful thank brand new

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

So jice

[@lawsonfan5797]

Oh Man, takes me back to when I started my trucking career and Werner was running these (not nearly as nice) but, that Werner paint scheme and coupled with their blue trailers, made them some of the nicest looking company rigs out there. In fact, it was this truck, along with the Pete's, that almost made me wanna work for old Clarence. Just a personal observation, remember when all trucks had those fans hanging down from the overhead? Those were great, whose idea was it to do away with them? Not a driver I can assure you. Mr. Fast Eddie has done an amazing job with this.

[@johnmcclain7072]

Absolutely dig it! Ahhh the flashbacks 😎 Thanks Andy 🍺

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it

My favorite truck the k100E well the flat top with the queen sleeper. I wish we could get them in the U.S. They build them in Europe & down under. Don't know why we can't order one built to U.S spec & pick it up at the local dealer 😒 🙄 Kenworth will always be Kenworth.

I put a couple 100 k's on a 1978 model in 1980 and with a 48 ft trailer could park in some pretty tight spots. Somebody needs to climb up there and clean the blades on that ceiling fan.

Great looking old rig. I was driving a 2004 K104B with 2.2 million km's on it up until last September when my boss threw me the keys to a brand new K200 big cab. With the work I do, it has a quarter of a million km's on it now.

beautiful! I am a big fan of 15 speeds. don't see them often enough

[@chrisweber5399]

What a beauty. I like the look of the gull wing bumper on a cabover versus a Texas bumper. The angles on either end of the bumper add to the appearance, while the Texas bumper looks like a large slab of metal whose size is emphasized more because of a cabover's flat face.
