[@baby9811]

beautiful truck man! absolute dream! bj and the bear...my fav tv series

[@vettebecker1]

I love it, I grew up watching BJ and the Bear. Great job!!!

[@justpassinby6383]

Most of us did and were inspired to wanna drive a truck, or was I the only one, I started in 1985 driving an old 1980 cab over powersteering was by air when a/c was two little fans on the dash some trucks had them mounted on the ceiling now talk about luxury ,drivers will complain if there blinker don't work or don't know how to change the flasher , or change a taillight I used to look how the hell do I get the bulb out lol

[@topcat4759]

Also loved BJ and the Bear but would also say that the movie Convoy would have been my main inspiration to want to be a trucker. Sadly only made it to be a biker, not enough wheels though!

[@bluestarlighting29]

Thank you so much share this. Video BJ and Bear truck and trailer. Always enjoy show. Back 1980s. Is trailer 54 inch or more. See my dad use drive truck. He retired now. Always enjoy trucks show.

[@espeescotty]

Yes, this is a 53-foot long trailer...not like the 40-footers that were in the TV show.

[@espeescotty]

Yeah, you know when an owner takes care of his rig like this, he's very proud of it.

[@SILVERCAMARO999]

I like that RED and White Rig!! If I was a Truck Driver I'd have one just like this!! I like the old smashed ins. You can Ride High and Tall in em!!! I'd wear a Red vented cap and have that White Line Fever!!!!

[@skyeram]

Loved the show.

[@jimvet5975]

I worked for empire white trucks back in early 70-s Ervin Steel owned the Business in Syracuse, He had a new building constructed, as part of the new open house show, he ordered new Cab over sleeper with the paint scheme shown here.It sold right away.It was the sharpest looking Freight Liner White had ever produced.

[@claudiopederiva5308]

che spettacolo!!! potrei lavorare gratis su uno così...

[@flyguy68]

Nice copy! The original and the 2nd one are still in great shape.

[@teddybear3868]

It was built in the KW plant right here in kansas my dad was one of the welders

[@espeescotty]

Lucky! I wish I could ride in it too. That's a nice truck...and the chrome looks damn nice too! :D

[@thekwkid8656]

👍 If you every come across the country to Pa we'll have to make that happen!

[@espeescotty]

@@thekwkid8656 Oh man! That would be a hoot! Yet another reason for me to get to PA. Tons of cool train watching stops and amazing historical spots and an invitation to ride in one of the sweetest K-Dubs on the road! 👍

[@thekwkid8656]

@@espeescotty YEA! Specifcally around where we live theres tons of antique train memorablially and every yeaar we have a train fest around here

[@espeescotty]

@@thekwkid8656 That sounds neat! One day I'll definitely have to get FAR out east. PA and West Virginia are on my list of must do. sorry it took so long to holler back...I'm way behind on my emails. Thanks bud.

[@born2flyau]

Nice KW truck very well maintained. The K100 was the best truck ever made, the aerodyne cab. cannot be beat. If i was to put it on Australian roads you would have to narrow the gap between the back of the cab and the front of the trailer to less than a meter due to length limits & the spread bogie trailer would have to be closed up as they are illegal in Oz as they cause too much road damage. I am surprised they are not banned in the USA. Here they both had the same weight limit 16.5 tonnes.

[@espeescotty]

Oh, ok. That one I can't answer. What is clear though is that the axles wheelbase is locked at that distance, but I don't know if the whole bogey can be slid forward and back.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I've got a buddy somewhere that had a BJ rig and swapped/sold/traded for a conventional and Chrome Shop Mafia tricked it. It was the Grave Digger because his last name was Graves. Last count he was a maintenance man in a big hotel in a city. I think he kept the truck but who knows. Haven't heard of him in years. Hope all is well and Thanks, Scotty. A nice ride 4 sure!

[@espeescotty]

I hope he's still doing well too, and still has the truck as a cool toy. Thanks for watching so many of my videos Lewie!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Good place to be and a LOT of stuff to watch. LOTTS!

[@espeescotty]

Yes, it certainly is! It's the highlight of my year.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I was talking about YOUR stuff! You do all the work and I get to sit and watch. Seems one-sided but it sure works GOOD!

[@espeescotty]

Hahahaha..well thanks Lewie! I thought you meant the truck show itself. I've still got a little more material from the show last year to upload and post. It's really taking me a long time to get the truck videos done this year. Hopefully they'll all be posted within the next month. Thanks for watching so many of them!

[@IsaíasGuzman-r3i]

Esta bien perron este tráiler y el rojo c be muy bien no le pide nada a los nuevos muy bien de lujo atte i g g saludos

[@espeescotty]

It sure was a good old truck that many today can't hold up to. 🤠👍

[@soymarkvlogs]

Wooow!, so beautiful!.

[@markali-gilkes9024]

Bueatiful, looks awesome! 😀

[@24preacherboy]

I think Paul Saghorne would disagree. He has the original truck and trailer used in the series. Look his truck up. He also has the only Movin On' truck too.

[@brettkramer]

wow, incredible rig !!

[@espeescotty]

Thank you for watching.

[@enriquegranadosarce6804]

Precioso camion sin lujos exajerados👌👍

[@valentinvalencia5602]

yes thanks ...i know but why is it slid forward like a tandem setup

[@espeescotty]

That's what most would call a spread axle configuration.

[@espeescotty]

@born2flyau I'm surprised that in the land of the road train the gap between the cab and the trailer would be much of an issue.

[@jasperjones6962]

My Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne has a great heater.

[@bluestarlighting29]

Well keep up date nice. My dad says KW trucks are no1 drive better. Sure love drive one someday. Good color. I watch show start 1981 on TV wish put on TV or order DVD. Thank you for video this once life time see Bj and the bear truck in person. Dream come true.

[@peterbruce1969]

that is not the same truck . if you google BJ and the Bear and look at the truck you will see it's not the same . sorry

[@valentinvalencia5602]

can any one tell me what kind of axle configuration isbon the trailer...thanks in advance

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Hey there where ya goin

[@espeescotty]

Unfortunately, it wasn't coming to my driveway.

[@norbertoposada3450]

Why chasis is very long, i remember this truck was short 🤔

[@espeescotty]

It is a modern take on an old classic. Many modern trucks have stretched frames now for a variety of reasons. Some owners like the looks of longer trucks, some stretch them for hauling long overhanging loads. Longer trucks generally ride smoother than short trucks.

[@norbertoposada3450]

[@espeescotty]

Sorry, but I don't know.

[@bj99ful]

What does this classic rig have for an engine?

[@thekwkid8656]

CAT 3406 B

[@journeyintotheunknown5450]

What's the interior look like?

[@espeescotty]

I don't know. You're seeing all of the footage I have of this truck.

[@rubicon1983]

No USDOT number. Obviously not an interstate hauler.

[@johnmilner3030]

please allow me a general question: why do american trucks have so much room between the cabin and trailer? here in europe the load sits right behind the cabin ...

[@sackett68]

In general we dont have that much space either ..this is a show truck and specialzed in its set up

[@dtraywick27]

Its what i guess they still call a California frame. Back in the day the roads was so bad out west, they ran the longer frame to smooth out the ride

[@mikerichards1385]

Maybe but it's very similar

[@oneuclafan]

i got to clean the chrome on that rig i know the driver and he took me and my dad for a ride

[@demetriusbennett4402]

Nice

[@DANIEL-cp5kg]

Es una copia del camión o será el verdadero camión de BJ?

[@ironlung7176]

Nice tractor trailer. But the Original is still unbeatable.

I use to see that truck parked by my work Coca Cola Ventura no longer there

[@marceloschutz1764]

No es el original de la serie pero esta muy hermoso camion me parece que el dueño de este camión. Tiene el original de. La serie

[@espeescotty]

No, not the original truck, but this one has a modern 2000's flavor and carries the look well. I like it.

[@gdub454]

sure would look a whole lot better if the douche would've not messed with the wheelbase...cabovers shouldn't be stretched EVER!...I know they were feeling left out n all cause its somewhat cool to stretch the frames..(I could do w/out it tbh)...besides that 10 -12 ft space back there creates serious drag...it doesn't look cool enough to be worth spending more $$$ on gas..

[@justpassinby6383]

Well back then there were more cabovers on the road and 45' flat bed trailers and many were used hauling construction materials so the need for long wheel base came in handy , to many its the looks, the ride, show n tell @ the truck show

[@jeffouellette9946]

gdub454 lol....

[@mikewasko4852]

I would like to think it has a cat 3408 with a 6 and 4 trans ..woild have like to hear it run and a little less jewelry and not have an extended frame

[@jimi08jam]

That must have cost a lot of money

[@charlesalvarez3405]

Le faltó el escudo del River Plate....

[@Nososvossoyyo]

Jajajaaj pero esos son los colores de Argentina Junior. Los de River son los al revés.

[@flashy5150]

The trailer is wrong. BJ’s had the red and the white stripe going around the barn doors. The doors on this truck are too modern.

[@espeescotty]

True, but this is a modern working truck, not a strict tribute truck. The tractor's wheelbase is longer in addition to the trailer being 53' vs. 40'. No one can make money hauling with a 40' reefer in today's setting. This is like what BJ's truck would be in the 21st century.

[@julianobernache1778]

Q beleza

[@germanlosi8150]
