From a UK trucker.....first Yank truck I ever Saw was one of these....over here in the UK....at the UK truck builders plant in Leyland Lancashire.....I think they brought it over to pinch ideas off it....would have been mid 70s. I was blown away by it.....our UK trucks are so boring in comparison. Then the US TV Prog Movin on hit our screens shortly after and I saw my first KW......WOW! Nick from the UK.

The 86 in the model number is an 86" bunk.1980 was the first year that Freightliner parted ways with White Motor Corp. When the heads start leaking there is usually a liner jumping, those old 855's were notorious for it. Sometimes you can pull the one head of three and shim the liner but it probably needs rebuilt.

Bringing back memories Wiley. Drove the old cabovers many miles they were warm in the summer and cold in the winter. That license plate bracket was used for tractor plates and back then we had to register them each individual state some had there own plates where some had their own sticker you had to put on the drivers door. Later on they came up with the IFTA program which got rid of the extra plates and stickers. It simplified the registration process. Just a little history in our past Keep the videos coming! I'm sitting here retired from the trucking industry after 50 years and love watching you try to revive the old trucks from the past 👍👍❤

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing that. We logged back in the day and bought any old used truck but never hauled out of state. I think after you sharing that i can picture seeing the tags on the bracket

[@muffs55mercury61]

Yep that was long before IFTA stickers and reciprocal agreements between states.

My first Freightliner was a FLT 9664 with a 3408 cat with a retarder and 13 spd. The cab was a slant back design to provide extra reefer clearance I would imagine but my truck had sufficient wheelbase Loved that old cabover except the Armstrong steering in tight quarters. Nice old cab o. That one. Should you ever come across a Freightliner Powerliner I’m all in.

[@MrShobar]

White wasn't "kicked out" of the business. They only had a dealership and distribution contract with Freightliner Corp. They never had any part of the business. For many years, Freightliner was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the common carrier Consolidated Freightways. Those rodents were into some heavy duty beer consumption.

You know, I watch a ton of these "will it start videos", and I look at these old trucks as living, breathing entities. They have been thrown aside, discarded and just when they think there is no hope, and when their loneliness gets to the breaking point, yall come along and show some attention to her, breathe new life back into her, and ill just bet these ol girls are so happy about it. I can imagine shes thinking, "they DO love me, they are healing me!" Anyways, theres my thoughts about that!!

[@oxmachines]

Comon Wylie, how many times have I told you and Hanky, that when you see that Detroit color, to pop off a valve cover and put a set of vise grips on the fuel rail. It’ll probably take another time or two for you to remember to do that. You’re lucky she didn’t run away badly. Well at least you can prove that most any motor in a truck cab y’all can get a running and back to work for the owner.

Rats will go just anywhere and don't really care. That's basically where the differences end, squirrels are basically just cute rats.
