That air chisel, sounds the same as when the trailer was manufactured. If you cover the fridge door in wood to match, fake the two doors onto the existing door shell.
Wouldn't it be great if Universal found it in their interest to donate to this preservation process/project. Amazing work as usual by you, Joe and Eric.
That would definitely be awesome. Even if they did all the different shows. Heck, first hand knowledge and information would be better than a "cash" donation. If anyone had information to share, it'd be the studio and the staff. That would limit the fishing process of information.
Have built a couple of semi models in the last couple years as well as follow Twin Stick Garage so I spotted that exhaust stack component as soon as it was held up
I believe the hole in the floor would have been for a table. You can see the screw holes around the hole for fixing the base of the table. The table would have a single post that slots into the base. You find these tables often used in campers as they can fold away.
@@egriff11 actually they do. It's quite common. I would agree that some do not. However, you can get flush mounted options that need a hole for the post.

You guys are absolutely incredible! From your original props, cars, semi trailer, episode commentaries and all of the behind the scene stuff, you guys have given me and everyone else more reasons to fall in love with this show over and over again.

Keep up that amazing work as always. Always amazing satisfied and never disappointed. Amazing work. Top tier Patreon supporter, Jason Miller.
I will say his reaction was genuine lol. What an incredible unexpected discovery finding 2 of the studio labels still intact, even after all the trailer modifications made from other owners over the years. They say lightning never strikes twice in the same spot twice, but it could not be truer in your case lol.
Look under the trailer. Maybe the winch was mounted under it with the cable coming up through the hole. It would take less bracing to do it that way. It was nice for Eric to bring you the lower portion of the exhaust.
Impossible idea. Under the upper deck is the kingpin area. The whole tractor tandem section using that area when the tractor and trailer pivoting. no room underneath for any structure what so ever.
If nothing else authenticated this trailer... this discovery clinches it. The marquis that says "Original Screen Used Knight Rider Trailer" can now be lit up. Great discovery! Great job!
That hole in the deck may very well have been the winch mount and the wall was for pulleys to the overhead as the winch welded to a steel plate and mounted through the deck with another steel plate below the deck would be the strongest winch mount location and the FX guys would have over engineered any components vital to keeping production on schedule
Awesome episode 😃👍 Nice angle grinding Eric :) Cool to see the Flag semi interior stuff you've found. I think the mystery item at the end might be a new exhaust pipe for the GMC? I was happy to finally find the new SPM KITT model by Hotwheels the other day. Took surprisingly long time to find one, which is a sign how popular Knight Rider still is, everyone wants KR stuff :)
Have you considered contacting other TH-camrs who do restoration videos to help with the props you have acquired? It would bring attention to your venture as well as promote their channel in return. Also the mini kitchen door could be dressed to look as if it had the split doors since you are covering the steel door anyway, the base may support the slit design as most rv appliances are universal in nature. The joy of mass manufacturing.
His reaction is priceless. Yet it's logical that the studio would mark the trailer in the ceiling. As you've pointed out about KITT in the past, for example the scanner bar would be marked so you would know which car it came from.
✌Hey guys. Another Semi video 🤜Bites the Dust! We gotta get this floor gutted fast, like two weeks ago fast! Let's kick it. Thanks! And PS, still waiting for that Visual FX video.♥🚛
So great to see that you already have so many pieces for the interior!! And nice find on the studio ident-labels! Oh... and good job Eric!! 😄👍 (Sorry to hear about your demotion... )
For the Kitchenette front door, when you wrap the door with the wood grain also have the 2 door look built into the wrap, either vinyl decal or actual wood paneling.
Nice to see all the progress and the stuff you have collected to go towards this. At shows maybe you can have the Patreon names scrolling on the computer. Eric, nice work with the angle grinder, maybe next visit Joe will let you use the saw. Great finds.
@@billysmidway7032 I don't think the computer display idea should override Joe's thing if physical names on the trailer that will always be with it. I was thinking it would be a great addition, to show off the names of all his patrons. Maybe instead of or in addition to the removable panel have a framed picture of the names to travel with the semi.
I believe the stove/fridge unit was the correct prop. The faux wood panel(s) were added to make it 'appear' as if there were two doors. Great work to everyone for finding all the props for the trailer. Love these videos!
I really want to thank Eric, AJ, and Joe for such an awesome job that y'all are doing! It's super exciting to see how far and how fast it's all happening! I esp. enjoyed the Star Trek: TNG reference "There... Are... FOUR... LIGHTS!" lol. 😁
Also, the part that Eric shows at the end of the video looks like it could be part of the Tractor's exhaust system or possibly the intercooler piping for the turbo charger. Just a guess though. 🙂
You guys must be so amazed, now you have a stack of parts to create a replica of the trailer internals. It looks like there are still fans of the show, incredible. You guys are doing a fantastic job
Fantastic episode. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I was so in awe of the classic 80's items for the office/lounge of the semi. I love the phone! TO get a new unused stock one was super nice. So exciting. Thanks to all the people out there who helped source this stuff and also to Eric as well. Some piece of exhaust piping for the tractor?? 🤔
Gald to see the work on the FLAG trailer progressing, and I am glad that you were able to find some of the set dressing props you were looking for. As a fellow Knight Rider fan, I wish you continued success in all your efforts.
This is really great. Every time you come with something exciting. And Eric´s reaction to the labels is really very nice! Anyway. You, like genuine historians, manage to perform the research to the roots. Yes!!!
Great Work Joe so far, the amount of stuff you have got done so far is phenomenal compared to how the trailer was when it arrived. watching this from the United Kingdom leaves you gripped waiting for your next upload progress, Keep up the excellent work.
I bet the hole in the floor was for a table. It's long been a common thing for RVs to have a chromed, die cast socket that sets into a hole in the floor, with a round, square, or rectangular flange that screws down. The table is supported on a thin wall, steel tube that's slightly tapered on the ends. The socket on the underside of the table is also a die casting that screws to the surface.
Really enjoy the trailer updates! Have you been able to fix the trans pan gasket leak on the car yet? The tube at the end of the video. It's part of the exhaust elbow and pipe for the truck.
The original lights was incandescent type that are prone to burning out. In order so you, or others, don't have to replace the lights after the restore is competed. I strongly recommend a buck/boost DC-DC converter set to 12v. This will prevent over-driving the lights with 13.6v to 14v, the common cause of them burning out within a year of normal use. The converter can easily be hidden in the walls or other hidey hole.
Might be a vent hole for deep cycle batteries. Depending on the voltage could have 2 6 Volts batteries = 12 V. Or they might have had a charger or plug to charge up the batteries before usage, dropping a plug down the hole too. Measure a charging plug see if it fits in the 3 inch hole Joe.
When they make alterations to Props and Set pieces, it's called 'Scenic-ing' for example, you might have a bag with a shiny buckle - and you can imagine that is going to light up like the sun under the bright Studio lights. So they would have the Buckle dulled to look tarnished somehow and thus 'Scenic-ed' , or, what I would called 'Relic'ed' as it concerns to Vintage Guitars.
I compared the base of the cordless phone you showed in the trailer with the picture from the show you showed us, and guess what? The base in the table painted red like the phone IS the base you have. Just paint it red like the phone and voila! Congratulations on your awesome collection of items for the semi!! By the way, do you know what that panel is in the table next to the phone? Also Shout out to Eric for his hard work and star trek reference "there are 4 lights!" Lol!! And lastly it would be really really cool to see you, AJ, and Eric together in a Knight Rider Historians video! Heck I wouldn't be surprised if the three of you appear together at conventions in Q & A panels in the future. If and When y'all come to Houston, Texas I'm there!! 😁😎👍
I remember sitting in "KITT" at Universal Studios. I must have been about 12. I remember trying to figure out something I could ask KITT to see if it was "real". Whoever they had doing the voice there was very quick witted and gave me an answer that I felt was satisfactory.
About the crease in the trailer, i saw that the KR footage featured in the semi clips in the intro of the first video when you all found the trailer, the crease is in the same exact position there, and it can be visible on the scene where KITT is going up and down the trailer.
Given that you're going to be making this visually as accurate as possible to the show, as far as the interior goes/with the lounge, how wedded to the idea of mechanical accuracy are you to the winch and its functionality? Would you consider a different winch setup if it gave you the same functionality (i.e. back ramp up/down etc.), but was more efficient to install/modify/maintain?
Referring to the cordless phone.. you could actually make the phone function as normal assuming you would want too with a XLink BTTN gateway. It connects right to the phone via phone cable and then the xlink receives and send calls over bluetooth from any cellular phone connected via Bluetooth. Just something i wanted share. Can’t wait to see it all come together.
You might consider installing the cupboard doors on the sink in such a way as to give the illusion of having two doors. Also, the backsplash can be easily rectified. I know that’s not the exact correct piece, but it would be very easy to fake. Good luck on this journey, it’s fun watching.
I think you need re-engineer the winch setup with industrial side mount garage door opener for the Car Ramp which Tech didn't exist during show. Love Vlogs man . You should hit up 8 BIT GUY on utube to help restore the Computers. I have feeling he's a fan of Night Rider.👍🤘
I think they did use the cordless phone base on the show,. It was slightly modified/painted and counter sunk into the table top. Certain details of the original base can be seen. In the image from the show you can see the large button with grooves in it has been painted black and matches the large button on the base you have. The smaller button that is beside the larger one and other details are simply blocked in the image by the phone sitting in the base.
Are we getting a video commentary from the episode "HOT KNIGHT" from season 5?😂😂😂😂😂 All seriousness love that this semi is being restored❤ Can't wait for future videos on this!!! ❤👍
Im gonna say that without any irony: it’s so much fun and entertaining watching you guys spending so much time and effort in such a absolutely useless nonsense. 😂 But boy, what an amount of passion and dedication! Keep on going! Greetings from Austria!
I remember watching a video earlier this year or last year of the kit car at Universal Studios and there was a guy that would come in every single day waxing washing detailing the car before the park was open it was really cool it's on TH-cam Somewhere, maybe it is on your TH-cam channel, I do not fully remember.
RE: Phone base. You can tell from your screen grab (29:51), that base is indeed used to mount the phone - Unsure if it's the entire top of the unit, or part of it, but the 3" flange is definitely visible.
Awesome video, thank you so much. And just on the quick topic of the KITT from Expo 88 in Brizzy I sat in that car back then also. So glad to hear it was a real studio used car and still around. Would love to see it again at sometime, guess I’m in need of a trip to USA again in my lifetime to see it again… lol Also there was a season 1-2 replica touring around between 86 ish and 88 that was in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast Australia, possibly the one in NZ today. Thanks again Joe on the updates… they are awesome 👍🙏
Potentially a pulley reduction going on behind that false wall, there would be a LOT of weight in that door plus the kinetic weight when it was dropping
Apart from the mark on the floor I'm not sure why you seem to think the winch would have been at floor level. I can see that they may have felt it necessary to place the reinforcing wall at the front like you say, but if I was building it, I would have put the winch at the top as you are proposing anyway, it would be much simpler, and there would have been more room in the trailer if they wanted to transport stuff. The whole system might not have been as heavy as you think, you already have a fold down door that winches up, this should give a bit of an idea of what size things need to engineered to. Keep up the good work. You fellows are truly impressive locating the truck and trailer as you have.
The panel damage is at close enough a level to the left side goal post damage that resulted in the cosmetic cappings being added during the show that I’d wager it’s related. I think those cappings were added rather than the trailer repaired properly so that they could continue filming from other angles and then just quickly slap the cappings over the damage in a matter of minutes (a proper repair would have taken days).

I was guessing Nicki Minaj's thigh master,. But exhaust makes sense too.
Turbo piping for the semi? XD

Awesome video, thank you so much. And just on the quick topic of the KITT from Expo 88 in Brizzy I sat in that car back then also. So glad to hear it was a real studio used car and still around.
Would love to see it again at sometime, guess I’m in need of a trip to USA again in my lifetime to see it again… lol
Also there was a season 1-2 replica touring around between 86 ish and 88 that was in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast Australia, possibly the one in NZ today.
Thanks again Joe on the updates… they are awesome
👍🙏
I believe the Shrink wrapped Parcel you brought is the new Exhaust
Potentially a pulley reduction going on behind that false wall, there would be a LOT of weight in that door plus the kinetic weight when it was dropping
Looks like an exhaust stack part to me. =)
The question is: why would they put linoleum in a trailer?
If you cant find the correct kitchenet, you could get a second handle and create faux double doors with the wood paneling.
Apart from the mark on the floor I'm not sure why you seem to think the winch would have been at floor level. I can see that they may have felt it necessary to place the reinforcing wall at the front like you say, but if I was building it, I would have put the winch at the top as you are proposing anyway, it would be much simpler, and there would have been more room in the trailer if they wanted to transport stuff. The whole system might not have been as heavy as you think, you already have a fold down door that winches up, this should give a bit of an idea of what size things need to engineered to. Keep up the good work. You fellows are truly impressive locating the truck and trailer as you have.
The panel damage is at close enough a level to the left side goal post damage that resulted in the cosmetic cappings being added during the show that I’d wager it’s related. I think those cappings were added rather than the trailer repaired properly so that they could continue filming from other angles and then just quickly slap the cappings over the damage in a matter of minutes (a proper repair would have taken days).
