- 1977 Kenworth W900A Find and Rescue
400 big cam
13 speed
500k original miles
Little backstory on the truck it’s been sitting in the warehouse behind it for the past 14+- years, the previous owner Robert used to haul heavy machinery. about 15+- years ago the truck was completely rebuilt and parked until it was pulled outside a few months ago where it looks to have taken some minor knicks and dings from forklift traffic as well as a punctured tire. Our friends at Fire towing made it easy and helped us out with the tow back to headquarters were we will change all the fluids,filters And clean the tanks before we start it up for the 1st time in 14+-years. the truck is complete and I will be personally running it under my company. Will have updates in the future so make sure you subscribe and hit that like button for more videos like this.
Everytime I see another Pre 1980 KW900. Makes me glad I still own the Two 1976 W900 Bi-centennial Edition Aerodynes
Beautiful truck this kenworth W900 MY dream this truck ok greetings FROM HERE brazil South american
I drove one of those! About the same year model. They added a tag axle and converted it to a dump truck. Had a Silver 92 Detroit and 15-Speed "Deep Reduction" transmission.
Prior to that, it was supposedly used up in Alaska running the "Dalton" but long before my time!
Mighty nice stratertruck😊
Man when you open the door to that cab showed inside and the sleeper talk about flashing back in time some clear some hazy butt all good LOL man that old truck still looks real good can't wait to see it done
Jim Huskey thank you will be getting too it real soon
Good looking 900A ... good luck with the project ... I’ll be watching 😉
359 TwinSticks I’ve watched all your videos feel like I already know ya I’ll be watching too old son good luck I’ll get this one goin soon
Hey Twinsticks, can't wait to see you find your W900, ready for the Smokey and the Bandit build
Looking forward to see how it comes out. It's a beauty of a find.
just needed some well deserved LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ii love it when the old iron gets rescued, good job guys.
Like a FINE WINE,,,SWEET W9😎🙂
Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
Very nice! Good Video!👍 I own the new skool of that truck, 14' W9 62in flattop 280wb. Almost the same color as yours. Can't wait to see her Rollin on the Super Slab!👍
It's like finding your high school sweetheart. Hopefully you will put the factory bumper back on. That unit looked better than any Pete in its day.
I love the W9
Expensive tow I bet hope all goes well Adam
That tow truck is hauling ass on the freeway.
Lucky dog
Good luck with it still a money maker
very nice truck! I hope you keep it original looking. I would put a stock bumper on it and that's it and maybe mufflers with the heat shields. Also that interior is perfect all that's missing is the big old steering wheel. I know its just a matter of opinion, but I just hate to see when people turn these old school trucks into new school like stretching the frame, lowering it, big drop visor and bumper, 8 inch stacks, and millions of lights ect. Cant wait to see it running!
That was a low life company but they had some damn fine equipment
dallas Pa ? whats not to love bringing old boys back from the grave , thx so much my very best, check out peterbiult restore in Pa
What would be great is if you put a factory bumper back on it. The factory bumpers look great. But man is that truck cool.
Are you still working on this old girl
P bar B TRANSPORT getting to it this fall
Sweet Ride hell yeah! my compliments, but the dumbass tow truck driver was taking off with the Jake brake on 🤣🤣🤣🤣 shame u can't fix stupid,
Hey, Is that Red Tri Axle Step Deck trailer over by the fence for Sale?
Contemporary Glass & Mirror scrapped
@@power-atlantictransport Wow, I was looking for one. Thanks for the reply.
I don’t think that’s the original front bumper, or is it?
JeepCherokeeful that bumper has been on it the past 20 years I don’t think its stock and it’s damaged so I’m going to get another one like it anyway if anyone knows where to find a bumper like this please let me know
crashed exotics please put an original style one, with the round fog lights if possible. So distinctive;)
Send a link one that your talking about if you can
I agree, keep it original, nothing looks worse than adding bumpers or quarter fenders that don't belong on there

I’ve been tinkering on my ‘80 A model. I’d not give up a single minute of it. “Bluefin” bids you all the best from central Oregon.🏴☠️

No I'm not crying, it's my allergies 😤. You gotta save her doc! She ain't done yet💪.
Kicking it old school.👍👍👍👍
Lord i wish i had got her shes drop dead beauty
Great job on saving a awsome KW that's hard to find something that nice
Doesn't look bad at all for the year; some new tires, bumper and nice high back seats.
Good looking truck with a lot of potential with little work
1982 W900A Restoration thank you it sure is

Seems like a free ad for the towing company.
yeah i hope you got a break on the tow bill ??? kinda like to see that wreaker body on the W9
new tires n bumper that's all I would do to it and it how it is
Did not know Cummins ran away like GMS like to learn . Adam
I like the filigree
Looks like she's been abused a little but it looks like she found a happy home.
I am extremely jealous
So they towed it away. I know where the truck is parked now. Sure is pretty.
Dawid Marcisz good for you don’t touch it
“Dont touch it” instead yappin on youtube and asking other people for money you should get to work. I wont touch it, its not mine.
Peterbilt Air Ride out back.
