That twin sleeper combination the extra fuel tanks the stretched out frame and that absolutely stunning paint job got me all excited

[@DarkVoidIII]

it also has none of that modern fiberglass crap in it, it's all steel plating. Built very solidly, they don't do that anymore, sadly.

[@tuvoca825]

Mueseum quality.

[@stevehood7603]

In "82 I was in 5th grade . We went to visit my grandparents in Blackwell, OK. My grandpa took us to visit Clifford (when his shop was in Blackwell). I remember that hull of a cab, sitting on the concrete floor. Probably one of the many influences I could accredit (or blame lol) for my love of trucks/trucking. Two years ago, had a load into okc and stopped by to chat. I asked him about the bull nose I had seen as a kid. You could hear the disappointment in his voice when he said, "No..its gone". Glad to see it's back home where it belongs. A big wave of the hand to the Wilkins family from the Hoods.

[@Sdukes001]

Awesome Mr Asian Mai show. I could listen to this fine gentlemen for hours back when trucking was full of commradary and drivers actually stopped and talked to one another in the truck stop aet together and helped each other on the side of the road. Would talk on the CB and actually give good feed back now a days everyone's on their own worst part is there's no respect and most guys have NO clue what they are doing.

[@jasonschaeffer72]

I give props 👏 to the previous owner who kept it in excellent condition for over 35 years. Simply amazing 👏 👍💯💯🇺🇸

[@waynesalkeld8419]

🤣😂🤣

[@holmes1956O]

That is laughable. Most of you guys out there are driving cabovers and dont even know it. Look at your cab is it as wide as a cabover? Do you have a set back axle? Well you are driving a cabover with a hood. The hood is to make you think it is a conventional. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@powderriver2424]

That’s the old school I was around. Trucking back I the late 70’s and 80’s right on!

Wow, that's an awesome story! As a trucker these are the stories i love the most!!! Thanks for the content!!! Incredible family, so cool!!!

The more old trucks and cars I see the more I miss them. It sure is a gem💎

[@77funtomas]

The Man (Grandpa) is a living legend! My sincere respect to him. I am myself at the process of doing papers for trucks back here in Ireland. Was always mad about trucks as my father used to drive them. Great piece of american motorization history from Teamster's time😉! Lads! Is there a chance to show all inside of this beauty😁?

[@roadspectre7655]

I love this tyoe of business where everyone is family. Doing what you are passionate about and coming in will be like not coming to work but to play and enjoy. The layout of the shop and office just marvellous. Love it love it all and i am very envious.

What an amazing story that he is reunited with his truck. Thanks for sharing.

When we were boys, we really admired the big KWs; such fabulous machines.

[@modacare4546]

I used to spend a lot of time in the early 80's at the King 8 hauling Ca. to Vegas. Damn those were the good old days. It was a truck stop, motel and casino back then. They used to have a band play live in the tiny casino and I met Ray Charles there at the bar one night and he ended up doing a few songs with the band.

[@nojunkwork5735]

@Moda Care I stayed at the Kings 8 whenever I was in Vegas in the late 70s early 80s. They had a guy in the parking lot that would polish your aluminum wheels and tanks for a very reasonable price. I actually won a lot of money at their crap table over the years. Trucking was still good back then.

[@nogodsnomasters357]

I used to stop in that place almost weekly and walked around the bone yard for parts. Really cool place and really cool trucks!

I met Cliff back in July. That day I got to see this truck. This truck and all the others were phenomenal. I love going to Wilkins for 389 and 359.

[@MrMopar413]

Wow that was great. As a kid living in Oregon and still seeing mainly freightliners bullnose with the funky exhaust stacks with round camber at the top that wound glow cherry red and at night going down the highway would look neat.

[@braunreinhold6020]

I drove one back in the 80's hauling machinery and steel. 250 cumapart and a 4x4. Cool old girl, but hot in the summer and cold in the winter LOL.

Good story. Interesting truck. Beautiful restoration. I have never seen a Kenworth with that cab style although it reminds me of the International trucks used by the Australian Army (and as tippers only) by the NZ Army. I was codriver in a brand new U1700L Unimog as we returned borrowed kit to another engineer unit after my first annual camp in 1985. The slow vehicle in the convoy was one of those old tippers. They had diesel engines that would keep going even with diesel leaking from the injectors. Aussies had petrol.
