During the video, I was imagining the liquidation auction: how things change. Years to collect it all, yet in a day's time, it would all be sold, then a few more days or couple of weeks to haul it all away.
You hit the nail on the head my friend ! Hoarders - plain and simple ! These parasites care nothing but filling a void in their lives that leads to decay and downright nonsense ….

Interesting seeing all the stuff he's collected. Like the other commenters have said completing any one of those projects is going to take a lot of time and money. He would be better to prioritize a few projects. I'm not going to be too critical of the guy though, I think a lot of people have big dreams in life about what they can accomplish, but most people don't achieve them.
That bicentennial is very rare. KW only made 50. One for each state. Universal studios had 2 trucks for BJ and the Bear. A 1978 and 1980. The 1980 is in Wisconsin. The 1978 is rumored to be in Pennsylvania.
@@noteimportax6477not even technically a copy as that paint scheme is factory, only if you put the sign writing on the doors do you have a copy really 😊
I love people that have complete pieces of junk with no chance they will ever see the road again but still think they are "rare" and "valuable." And they never will ever do anything with the stuff just let them rot while still telling people they are valuable...
Actually there's a steel company here in Quebec that special ordered (Freightliner or Argosy - special order anyways) cab-overs so they can legally haul extra long steel beams that hang over the front of the flatbed. A cab-over cab is shorter than your average truck but has the same chassis.
Thanks for sharing...I would love to walk around there...love truck junkyards! I have a buddy that owns many trucks of different eras...love walking his property and walking through time as it were. He’s retiring and hoping to sell his trucks and trailers. We’ll see what I get now. 🤩
Porter Productions thanks for watching this was just a spur of the moment video was definitely neat walking around after I left I got the feeling nothing will ever get done
Tuma Time I know what you mean. I’ve learned that it’s good to travel with IPads, cameras, tripods, etc to capture those unexpected blessings!🥰 Good stuff!
When bj an the bear was still on TV my uncle worked for Indian river transport the truck was there being transported to Miami for filming I was aloud to sit behind the wheel an take pictures I was ten it was great.
Agree 100% - everything he showed you was in the condition he bought it in or torn apart (it appeared to sell some of the pieces). No indication I could see on any of those projects he talked about getting past the "concept" phase
I'm sure he would do something with them. If anybody knew who BJ & The Bear were. Let's face it... If BJ & The Bear fit any of the narratives that Hollywood is pushing. They'd still be on television.
To start with I see NO SHOP can't rebuild trucks in dirt/ weeds .ESPECIALLY in the frozen north short season. 2 nd this guys no " spring chicken" all those projects he'd need to be in his 20's to finish . 3rd and MOST imporant that amount of trucks / cars would break good old EXXON MOBIL . Just the same Hope him all the best with them ..
He sure likes his Kenworth trucks, I liked the design of those Kenworth trucks when I was a kid. I have small scale of a toy truck with the high top like in video.
I love the organization of these junk yards. It’s a reflection of the way the human mind works. A collage of things going on with no formal organization. Folks it takes tons of cash to restore all of these projects so it’s not going to happen. Great camera work ! Attaching the camera to your belt was foolish.
I know of a guy that buys these old places and restores some for himself then holds the rest like hold like that. Was gonna get a donor truck from him he had listed on truck paper went to the yard couldnt find the truck.
That guy has some really nice KW's there. He was slightly off on his numbers of the bicentennial editions though, as Kenworth made 100 each of the cabovers and conventionals to celebrate the 200 year anniversary. Still an extremely rare truck!
Awesome bits of KW history! Sad they will sit back there and never see the road again. Was anything for sale?? Or like everyone else is saying...he just gonna talk about it and not be about it?? 🤔
Somewhere, I have a picture of myself, and two of my cousins. Sitting in BJ's truck. They took it on a tour. And it made a stop here in Grand Rapids. Unfortunately... The bear didn't go with it. It's the three of us sitting in the truck, with a big stuffed monkey. I think we were ... under 10 years old at the time. And that was the coolest truck in the world to us. I think my uncle, still has his 1/24 scale model that he built. With the trailer. when a man returns to the home of his childhood. He's not looking for his home... He's looking for his childhood.
The actual B.J. & the Bear Kenworth has been restored & lives up in Wisconsin, which is appropriate since the fictional B. J. McKay lived in Milwaukee.....
chooch1995 There were two trucks a 1978 KW and a 1980 KW used on the show. The 1980 is the one in Wisconsin. It’s easy to verify if this is by the history of the vin. A record would exist with California DMV.
@@deniseinsocaldeniseinsocal9510 The BJ truck seen in this video has a placard on the dashboard of the truck, before Kraig Cummins owned it a guy by the name of Lee Dixon owned it and he got it as a giveaway from the studio and they fixed the brass placard right to the dash. Shot of it can be found in an archived version of the old BJ and the Bear Fan Club
I know that's what I was thinking. It's obvious by the looks of it he's dreaming about restoring them but they're just sitting rotting away like hoarders do.
I was only 3 when that show came out, but when I was 5, I remember the red semi truck toy at Wollsworth, aling with the silver semi truck from Smokey and the Bandit II. I did not know the tv show or movies. LOL
Thank You for share this video clip. Love BJ and The Bear Truck. And many others trucks. Back then my dad drive trucks back younger age and dad brother and one my uncle. Truck driving songs on Late Road hours. Back 1970s. 1980s. Love hear story on road: back then. Love see more Trucks video. Thank You.
I hear that... I love sitting at an old roadside diner, listening to the ol' truckers talking shop... Listening to the ol' CB in the distance... I miss my ol' CB... Sometimes I'll spend a good couple hours on CZcams here listening to either old trucker songs, or CB talk... Brings back the good ol' memories of being on the road...
So sad to see so much potential in the hands of someone who is a porch rocking chair dreamer. Sell those supposedly "rare" cabovers to the guy in Wisconsin who found the original BJ cabovers. Let him work his magic into those and bring them back to life. Incidentally, anyone know where I can obtain real good quality DVD copies of all the BJ and the bear episodes? I bought a set 20 years ago, but the video and audio quality is terrible. Thanks in advance!
The original truck also didn't have the extra lights on the sides. That show made that a very popular paint scheme. There interior was also brown or rust red, not grey. In S1E1 most of the shots in the first part of the show was also a regular K100...flattop
@@rhettcorbett3346 That there is one of meny question I really have no answer. But if you rewatch this video you'll have more questions then answers. Just like me.✌️
@@billhouse8199 I have. The credits at start have the Aerodyne K100 in it. But it has the regular K100 Cab Over in episode. I live in Australia & still see a few old K100s on the road. They are classics.
There's a lot of folks putting pre-computer, pre-ELD trucks Back on the road. A new motor, trans maybe, and no DEF, some guys are happy to save the fuel cost.
There were only two original bj and the bear trucks from the show one is in Missouri at Boone the other original truck that has bj and the bear under the fifth wheel is in Wisconsin with the original bj and the bear reefer trailer so that truck showed here is a fake a copycat
Actually that truck is owned by Kraig Cummins of Australia and it IS genuine, he has the papers to prove it PLUS there is a brass plaque on the dashboard, it is a season 1 truck, there is a second truck in Wisconsin that is more complete because it has BJ's trailer, ALSO the original, connected to it, Paul Sagehorn owns it and ironically lives in SPARTA Wisconsin
1:37 That red & white Chevrolet pickup & that other Chevrolet pickup there in the background to the far right, I rarely see any of those out on the roads nowadays.
wow arodyneogasm, I like arodyne kw cabovers but not so much flat tops. they are very special trucks, a cut above in the late 70s and 80s. I got to see the bj truck at Columbus kw when I was young!
Your man fed you some BS about BJ and the Bear though. The first episode of BJ and the Bear or the pilot movie named The Foundlings, featured BJ (Greg Evigan) driving a '78 Kenworth K100 "flat top cab over.It was not an aerodyne with the double sleeper. BJ did not drive the aerodyne KW until the first regular "hour long" episode which was titled "The odyssey of the Shady Truth"
@@suzannewillis817 the bj truck in this vid is the truck that ran throught the sighn at the beging credits its been verifed and one of the trucks built by kenworth for the show has been found and restored plus one of the original trailer go to facebook and look up a guy name paul sagehorne plus you can go to www.tvtrucking.com same guy out of sparta wi
If that was one of the original BJ and the Bear tractors, then it should of had a plate on the dash saying that the truck was built for NBC Studios like the real BJ and the Bear trucks did. The owner would have made a point to show you the plate on the dash if that truck had one. I think that was just a red/white “Salem” paint scheme Aerodyne. It’s cool, but not a BJ and the Bear screen used truck.
Is it one of the OG K-123 COE from BJ & the Bear ? Couldn't see any reminance of sign writing on the door. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the original K100 (non aerodyne) from BJ & the Bear disappeared to ? You can't watch the American Trucker BJ episode. It says it's a private video. That sux.
I saw a program a few years ago, they had the real original BJ And The Bear truck. They restored it, and took it back to the factory where it was built. When they restored it, they found a steal plate under the cab. The steal plate, had the original guy, that built it,he welded his name and date, and BJ & The Bear truck,on the steal plate. When they finish restoring the truck, when they took it back to the factory, they found the guy that built the truck, and gave him the plate with his name and everything on it. So unless you were with the TV show, and already restored it 5 years ago, that probably isn't the original BJ And The Bear truck. Sorry!!
Sad to see all those vehicles rotting ..... most people like this guy will never get around to restoring them ... typically they won't sell them either ... so they die
Appreciate the video, the guy has amassed a large collection.....but isn't doing it a bit of good letting it rot. Guarantee if he sells anything, he'll have a BAD case of "Barrett-Jackson Syndrome" and think he's sitting on a goldmine. "I know what I got".....the Bicentennial Aerodyne IS rare, but needs a TON of work to make it worth anything. The '85 "Liberty Edition" is nothing more than a parts truck, unless he strips others on the property for parts(which would make sense ONLY if the guy has any intention of doing anything with it). The "Lookalike" BJ And The Bear K100 Aerodyne....yeah, not buying it's a legit series-used tractor unless that dash plaque is present. Otherwise, it's just what was ONCE a very nice cabover KW with a famous paintjob. That faux Lambo doesn't look as if it's EVER turned a wheel under it's own power....9 times out of 10, that whole collection will be crushed either when he croaks, or county zoning condemns it. Bit of a shame...
Can’t see having so many cars and trucks and less you’re willing to either fix them or use for parts. I have four vehicles at home and only three drivers and feel like I’m hoarding cars.
@@elcabezon5487 that's what Im thinking I Kno the man in Sparta Wisconsin That owns one of the bj and the bear truck and a move'n on truck Those r the real McCoy He does have one replica of the bj and the bear truck
Gerald your exactly right the truck from Sparta is one of them the other is at Boone Missouri under a grain trailer and the one at Sparta does have the weld bead under the fifth wheel it's the real McCoy
@@ronaldhill9561 I didn't Kno were the second truck was at I just Kno cause I heard it on a interview on CZcams when they took the bj and the bear truck back to were they were built One of the men that built it said there would be a bj and the bear weld beed on the bottom of the the fith wheel
I’m afraid that can’t be the actual truck I think it’s just a truck that looks like it because I seen a video not too long ago about the BJ and the bear truck and trailer being restored and when it was done because the guy was driving it because the same guy owned the original Smokey and the bandit truck and trailer The original BJ and the bear truck and trailer is in Sparta Wisconsin.
Cool, gave it a like. But wife and I were getting dizzy watching the ground. Glad I don't have s big property because that's what it would look like . Only I would add boats and motorcycles. Lol
Mike T thanks for the like and watching it was just a impulse video he started talking and didn’t stop i was just walking around with the phone in my hand feel free check out some of my other videos much less ground:)
@@mintyman1968 ... I am close friend’s with the owner of these trucks... he wasn’t aware he was being recorded because of the way the guy held his phone. No permission was asked, that’s why you mostly see the ground. He was trying to hide the fact that he was recording!
20yrs from now they will all still be sitting there nothing done to them with him telling the same story's
Thanks for watching you are right
That S what I was thinking too.still rusting away.
Big dreams with a bunch of junk. I think he's got a collection problem.
Yep. You hit the nail on the head.
And standing in the way of someone that could actually do something with them. Typical mentality of junk collectors; “it’s this, it’s that, it’s worth this and that..”. Maybe someone will see this and make a move.
I think every boy in the 1970s watched and loved that show ! We were all going to grow up and drive 18 wheelers
and Bang girls like Judy Landers in the end we settled on Pamela HanderSon 🤣🤣🤣
One of the guys that is going to do all kinds of stuff and will never do shit.
ven vnco thanks for watching
I was thinking the exact same thing. He's proud of that '76 model KW yet he's just letting it sit there and rot.
20 years from now it will all be sitting in the same spot, just in a lot worse shape.
People like this will die and will never do anything with all that stuff.
So..maybe its a sign of the times where young guys dont wanna do that hard work..
During the video, I was imagining the liquidation auction: how things change. Years to collect it all, yet in a day's time, it would all be sold, then a few more days or couple of weeks to haul it all away.

Loved BJ & The Bear. I got lost in the woods of KY. When I was kid. Found a bunch of wrecked 18 wheelers . I bet they still up there, somewhere .
Would of been nice to actually see the trucks instead of the ground. But hey still cool what we did get to see.....

I would have hay day in here. I'm only 15 but I've been crawling in and out of kenworths since I was 2. Always loved the cabovers the most.
What a shame all going to rust never to see the road again . Sell them onto someone who will love and cherish them . Rest in peace cabovers

...And all these "Rare Trucks" will still be sitting right where they are, five years from now, "rarely" doing anything at all!
Thanks for watching
Your man fed you some BS about BJ and the Bear though. The first episode of BJ and the Bear or the pilot movie named The Foundlings, featured BJ (Greg Evigan) driving a '78 Kenworth K100 "flat top cab over.It was not an aerodyne with the double sleeper. BJ did not drive the aerodyne KW until the first regular "hour long" episode which was titled "The odyssey of the Shady Truth"
Michael Marburger thanks for watching
Yes I was little but I remember the two different rigs from the show.if this one was found the other should be found as well.
@@suzannewillis817 the bj truck in this vid is the truck that ran throught the sighn at the beging credits its been verifed and one of the trucks built by kenworth for the show has been found and restored plus one of the original trailer go to facebook and look up a guy name paul sagehorne plus you can go to www.tvtrucking.com same guy out of sparta wi
If that was one of the original BJ and the Bear tractors, then it should of had a plate on the dash saying that the truck was built for NBC Studios like the real BJ and the Bear trucks did. The owner would have made a point to show you the plate on the dash if that truck had one. I think that was just a red/white “Salem” paint scheme Aerodyne. It’s cool, but not a BJ and the Bear screen used truck.
Is that right ? Do you know where those can be found ? Are they on CZcams ?
Thinks,great video. GOD BLESS
Thanks for watching and the kind words
Is it one of the OG K-123 COE from BJ & the Bear ? Couldn't see any reminance of sign writing on the door. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the original K100 (non aerodyne) from BJ & the Bear disappeared to ? You can't watch the American Trucker BJ episode. It says it's a private video. That sux.
Are we holding onto it cause it was a 1yr truck, Big deal build it so that it can see road instead ot pasture land😢
I saw a program a few years ago, they had the real original BJ And The Bear truck.
They restored it, and took it back to the factory where it was built.
When they restored it, they found a steal plate under the cab.
The steal plate, had the original guy, that built it,he welded his name and date, and BJ & The Bear truck,on the steal plate.
When they finish restoring the truck, when they took it back to the factory, they found the guy that built the truck, and gave him the plate with his name and everything on it.
So unless you were with the TV show, and already restored it 5 years ago, that probably isn't the original BJ And The Bear truck.
Sorry!!
saw the bj and the bear rig on another channel published around 4 years ago..had graphics on the doors..don't see it here
Sad to see all those vehicles rotting ..... most people like this guy will never get around to restoring them ... typically they won't sell them either ... so they die
What the bottom dollar for the. Bj and the bear rig
Appreciate the video, the guy has amassed a large collection.....but isn't doing it a bit of good letting it rot. Guarantee if he sells anything, he'll have a BAD case of "Barrett-Jackson Syndrome" and think he's sitting on a goldmine. "I know what I got".....the Bicentennial Aerodyne IS rare, but needs a TON of work to make it worth anything. The '85 "Liberty
Edition" is nothing more than a parts truck, unless he strips others on the property for parts(which would make sense ONLY if the guy has any intention of doing anything with it). The "Lookalike" BJ And The Bear K100 Aerodyne....yeah, not buying it's a legit series-used tractor unless that dash plaque is present. Otherwise, it's just what was ONCE a very nice cabover KW with a famous paintjob. That faux Lambo doesn't look as if it's EVER turned a wheel under it's own power....9 times out of 10, that whole collection will be crushed either when he croaks, or county zoning condemns it. Bit of a shame...
bowslap your so right thanks for watching
Some replicas around the world But the original still in the hands of Greg Evigan The original
Thanks for watching
i remember watching that show!!!
JOE KING me too, thanks for watching
Can’t see having so many cars and trucks and less you’re willing to either fix them or use for parts. I have four vehicles at home and only three drivers and feel like I’m hoarding cars.
LOOK UNDER THE FITH WHEEL SEE IF THERE IS A WELD BEED THERE THAT READS BJ AND THE BEAR
that might be a replica
@@elcabezon5487 that's what Im thinking
I Kno the man in Sparta Wisconsin
That owns one of the bj and the bear truck and a move'n on truck
Those r the real McCoy
He does have one replica of the bj and the bear truck
Gerald your exactly right the truck from Sparta is one of them the other is at Boone Missouri under a grain trailer and the one at Sparta does have the weld bead under the fifth wheel it's the real McCoy
@@ronaldhill9561 I didn't Kno were the second truck was at
I just Kno cause I heard it on a interview on CZcams when they took the bj and the bear truck back to were they were built
One of the men that built it said there would be a bj and the bear weld beed on the bottom of the the fith wheel
@@ronaldhill9561 they both should have the weld bead under the fith wheel
Cool video ! the guy has cool toys
Thanks for wqtchin
Love to have one of those k100
I’m afraid that can’t be the actual truck I think it’s just a truck that looks like it because I seen a video not too long ago about the BJ and the bear truck and trailer being restored and when it was done because the guy was driving it because the same guy owned the original Smokey and the bandit truck and trailer The original BJ and the bear truck and trailer is in Sparta Wisconsin.
SuperAgentman007 thanks for watching
8V92TA Detroit in the KW? RIP Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed.
I bet he doesn't do anything with most of these trucks
Cool, gave it a like. But wife and I were getting dizzy watching the ground. Glad I don't have s big property because that's what it would look like . Only I would add boats and motorcycles. Lol
Mike T thanks for the like and watching it was just a impulse video he started talking and didn’t stop i was just walking around with the phone in my hand feel free check out some of my other videos much less ground:)
Lol, ya us truckers can get like that.

OHH my god..a zr1 coupe..my dream car
Recycling Rider thanks for watching
wish hand hold thst camera up more so we can see things
fred Alexander sorry he didn’t want to be on camera I pieced together what I could thanks for watching
Mike Johnson .... I was told the same thing... this video was ILLEGALLY recorded!!! NO verbal or written permission!
Mike Johnson ... John just told me about this tonight. He is pissed!!!
@@subman719 lol what?
@@mintyman1968 ... I am close friend’s with the owner of these trucks... he wasn’t aware he was being recorded because of the way the guy held his phone. No permission was asked, that’s why you mostly see the ground. He was trying to hide the fact that he was recording!
I would love to have a walk around that place
Thanks for watching
Your welcome buddy
