keeping the classics current is such a valuable thing to those of us who love truck Thank You Great Job
I see alot of very nice looking old school trucks in this video. Yall did a great job at restorations.
When Danny owned it, you would see it over at the truckstop off of the 201 in SLC, It was black and grey then, i still have some pictures i took of it way back when.
Thank you for sharing this video as I am a old school trucker always been a ways will be at 46 years and want to make 50, what an honor you are to the real truckers that have drove and driven real trucks, thank you.

What a beautiful old truck. I love it that he’s got such a passion to restore them! Beats all this new garbage they’re building nowadays.
Old Bill Brown did a good job with them Cummins motors, So did Dave in Artesia, ca.
@@oldmanfromoc7684 Do you know how to contact them and ask a question? to me too old cummins
Beautiful truck that's so awesome that you're keeping the old Iron going great job
I recall 1960 when stepped to my first Cummins powered tractor. It was a 1950's 2 axle Kw doubles tractor with a 220 updated from a 200 single discpumper. what a surprise todays trucks are compared to the older equipment
There’s ONLY 1 thing that I don’t like about this rig! It’s not in my driveway! I have a 51 REO that would love to park next to it! I can understand the need to get out on the road...when it gets into your blood, there’s only one way to take care of it, get in it and GO! Great interview! I’ve loved trucks since about 5 years old, and I’m much older than that now. My 1st taste was a 1965 K100 cabover and then my 1st love was the 51 REO wrecker at age of 7. It’s been in my blood since then! 🥰
You can't beat the old school trucks
Amen brother it's in our blood I'd give anything to have my dad back to work on his trucks again you have an old school vision that's showing everyone what class is you are a dying breed.
jasons awesome i love all the trucks he has and builds he really needs his own channel i would love to see him build all the trucks that he works on
Where'd you get the Mercury sleeper for the old purple truck
She is a Beautiful 'Ol girl. Treat her right and she won't leave you stranded
I know the GENTLEMAN that used to drive/own that 1950 KW.. He's from Arizona
Do you know how to contact them and ask a question? to me too old motor
No funky is a very good friend of mine that popcorn hauled for in Phoenix funky goes way back in my family 🤣
The screen went blank but I listened to that motor right till the end. Beautiful!
I love that truck, she looks good and she sounds good. I love the way them K model motors lope. I like seein videos of the trucks Keeler builds.
Had to post this cause I sent this video to funky he sent this back to me🤣🤣🤣.
Funky is Gary Prewett owner of Blue Ribbon Dist Phoenix Arizona all time racing partner of Frank Frazier Jr Texas to Nogales AZ to Vancouver B C Brothers Forever tell em that Buckskin
Awsome what what u do. I'm 2nd generation been in trucking all my life.
Man that is one aesthetically pleasing to look at KW. Damn nice
Popcorn was a bad dude!
This makes me miss my 1950 Mack A30H
Great looking rides !!! Hope you are still in the game with your pop
I'd LOVE to drive something with a K
Big power demands larger pipes. It isn’t that much about looks, it’s about efficiency for the engine.
The old paint letting the history show through is a nice touch.
Nice!
The K Series Cummins ~ KT450 - KTA525 - KTA600 = Brute Force in it's day !!!
And still is to this day. No electronic wizardry BS, simple, durable and reliable.
@@stephenroberts4895 ~ Yes Absolutely Stephen ~ Simple, Durable, Reliable 👍😎👍 We relied on Kenworth and KT450 Cummins to get fresh produce an extremely long way (1980's) in Australia !!! $$$$$$ !!!
We still do it today but unfortunately with electronic wizardry, that some times lets us down !!! ⬇$$$$$$⬇
Hey Big guy.. I'm Michael .. I started when I was 15 going to work with my dad on weekends and power washing and greasing in general caring for the equipment sure I built my share of 70 Cudas with 440 6 pack big block chevelles even a few Big block Chevy GTOs but my favorite truck was dads Mack super liner with the 8v92 we pulled from some American Lafrance fire truck it was the 8V92 TS motor weve had a Brockway with A 12V71 ..we used the Brockway to pull heavy equipment .. I learned how to drive a U model mack with NO power steering ..Once its in your blood your pretty much screwed..
Most likely that truck was originally a Garrett freight lines. Green body and yellow frame.
killer
Sounds healthy
Funky is another driver from the old days
A real truckers truck
Leon (popcorn) passed away last month
I don’t believe they’re letting trucks older than 07 into Cali anymore unfortunately 😕
These are real trucks, not the plastic synthetic unreliable trash we have on the road now a days
She needed uncle Jim prewett to work on that K she sounded bad when y’all fired her up
Put some AC in it ....
Badass 💪👍🇺🇸
