Hey Mark. Nice job finding the exact truck model from BIG Trouble in Little China. You DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY buy her and transform her into The PORKCHOP EXPRESS. Please and Thank you.
there was a TH-cam channel out of BC "Back Yard Tank Show"(been quiet a couple years) They had a RS700L with the correct sleeper sitting in their tree line ... video 3 years ago " New Project Revealed " no the Mack isnt the project , just in the way
Mornin Mark, I think Mrs. Twin stix should get her own channel so we can hear what she says every time you buy another truck, that would be some good listening. I agree with you guys that truck is pretty close to the Pork chop express and it is not to far gone to fix, and the running C block is a super bonus, and It's gonna look damn good sittin with the other three. Have a great week my friend say hello to Mrs. Twin stix for us.
In 1979, I was lucky enough to buy a 1978 freightliner similar to that one. It had a 36" sit in bunk. 400 Cummins, 13 spd with 370 rears on freightliner air rude. It was brown with buckskin interior. Twin chrome cans and exhaust the fuel tank were set back and battery and tool boxes under the door. WOW. Talk about a flash back looking at the truck sure brought a flood of memories
Hello Mark, I’m excited to see next weeks video to see if you come home with the “Pork Chop Express” that is a great movie and that truck would be a great addition to your collection!! Thursdays are always great, can’t wait for your videos!!
Hi Mark this is Ken Holloway the retired Trimac driver boy that’s a cool old freight shaker that’s all we had as company trucks all of them were mostly day cabs.l drove those for 25 years of my 30 years of work then we started to get Kenworth those 120 models where the warmest and the best to drive in winter, everybody else would have frosted up windows. When we got those kenworths I really missed those freightliners. I don’t have to many pictures back then we never thought of taking a lot them but I do have a few l will see if I can find the ones I have and I’ll try to send you some pics and email you well I guess that’s all for now.
Morning Twinsticks garage family....and friends....y'all had one heck of a time there at the auction yard ....it's nice to see happiness amongst people...that's a rarity these days....I have a feeling that ole twinsticks garage will be around for a long...long. Time ❤️✝️🇨🇦🇺🇸✝️❤️😎
@@TwinStix thought I replied earlier, maybe it got removed (reference to a forum I'm on for Peg 🤷, I'll leave it out) or I never hit send. I have an '89 Colony Park (the project car, it's rough), '91 Grand Marquis (retired daily, it's rough), and a '98 Grand Marquis (new daily for the past 4.5 years, it's in pretty good shape.) Anyway, neat that you finally found a Pork Chop Express candidate with the right bunk even.
@@TwinStix the way you guys geek out over the truck is kind of how I'm with those box panthers. I can tell you tons about them. Did you at least get to ride in the car? Looking forward to finding out if you bought the truck or not.
Hey Mark. Great score on finding the exact kind of FREIGHTLINER like the Porkchop Express from Big Trouble in Little CHINA. You DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY buy this lovely truck and turn it into the truck from the movie. Please and Thank you.
You are a cool guy. I love your videos and I love all your trucks. I’m from Winston-Salem North Carolina. Keep those videos coming and I’ll keep watching it.
Looks like the Trimmacs we used to get in that hauled flour for the bakeries in Ontario. Grab it Mark, And maybe a Mack for the Rubber Duck, A cab over Pete and a Jimmy, you know, for haulin' hogs..............
Hey Mark you have to buy that! Don’t worry about shed space you can always build a bigger shop…. And tell the missus if you don’t buy it I’ll unsubscribe 😉😂
Mark i really love all the replicas but at the same time mrs twinstix is gonna kill ya she said "no more trucks you get three bays for them" 😂😂😂 but it would be nice to see three beautiful replica trucks sitting side by side.
LOL, I learned some new phrases today like brand used, pre-enjoyed & pisseyes of oil pressure! You are the last chance for this old Fright-Liner to live on into the future!😎
He's not wrong about the dash & everything . My gramps had a classic xl as I was growing up and it all looks pretty much the same besides the windshield obviously. I'm excited for this one if you actually got it. I think it would be kinda cool for someone to make a replica of the pork chop express and actually go haul pigs with it. P.S a fun fact I just learned recently is that the pork chop express also appeared in the 2018 movie "ready player one" as a obstacle in one of the races.
I bet they were glad to see you come along. They probably thought they would never sell it... Well at least you got a really nice Cat engine and an Alpine headunit out of the deal LOL. I actually drove one of those back in the day, but it didn't have one of those big goofy lookin sleepers on it. It was only a couple years old at the time. It was alright but it was like most Freightliners, and when it got about 500 miles on it LOL it started rattling, had air coming in around the door, and the dash a/c vents started falling apart.
Pure enjoyment watching this while drawing up dash panels on Fusion 360 for my ‘83! I’m going to warn you though, they’re not like a Peterbilt or Kenworth. Off the shelf parts are scarce. Luckily they share parts with an FLD and Classic.
I built that trruck from the bottum up when i was a kid in Scandinavia. it was dark brown with all the right stickers and some yellow pinstripe maybe. The only thin that made me remember this 40 yrs later is the VERY VERY square blinkers. nice truck. i paid like 40$ for that box of parts to glue it together.
I learned how to haul cattle in a truck identical to this except it was solid maroon color . The back of the sleeper had painted " THE PLUSH PALACE!" The guy never paid me a dime for the 2 months I worked for him although he kept me high as the eagles fly .
7:28 Dude! A Realistic CB? I have one of those in my 88 FLC! A Realistic TRC-419. Love that thing. The cupholder is for a ceramic coffee cup like you use in a house, not for when driving, heh. The b model did have available factory cruise control, but only if it was a PEEC engine. Contrary to popular belief, the electronic PEEC engines started with prefix 8tc b model. My first truck had one factory and it still works. Kinda nice having an 89 with factory cruise control, heh. Freightliner did indeed cover the FLC with rivets. He is correct, the FLC and FLD were largely unchanged in many ways in regards to cab and interior. There were some differences over the years, but not many.
First again! That Freightshaker needs a bit of work, but it does have a big, walk-in sleeper and that might be really important. Considering Duke is stripped down, Little-By-Little is disassembled, and Snowman has a 36 inch crawl through the window sleeper, you will need that big walk in, smells like rat pi$$ sleeper when Mrs. Twinsticks makes you sleep outside because you bought another project.
The engine sounds good. Should be an aluminum cab, I think. I prefer the older version of the Freightliner conventional with the double headlights bracket like the Peterbilts have. Actually ran one once in 1981/2 for a while.

@@TwinStix How much did it end up selling it for? Did Dallas have any problem towing it home for you or did peg just go for it and drive it?
@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj He definitely purchased it, that is why the video abruptly ends.
PLEASE BUY THIS!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BUILD!!!!
@@buckeyenation7322 I Agree with you. Mark must buy this truck and turn it into The Porkchop Express.
Mark you have to restore a old mack as the rubber duck one day
Amen to that!
Shit I’ve been saying that for a year that’s the most underrated movie I liked it better than Smokey and the bandit gotta love ol dirty lyle
That'll be amazing 👏🏾

9:20 Peg pulled off that “Black Dog” Eaton Fuller Pro Shift reference so well😂
The three amigos on the goof on what looks like a nice summer day, nice.

Dear dieseldownunder
👍👌👏😁😁😁 With such a threat she simply must give up her resistance!
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
This video is much different than any other on the hunt video and Dallas went with him so I am will to bet he bought it.
When Peg squeezed your hand onto the shifter knob, I knew it was special, like a seen from Ghost 😅
😂
Now you're giving new ideas!
Love the FLC’s. My dad had a couple when I was a kid. An 85 and 87
Pork Chop express is one of the NICEST movie trucks around , this is gonna be epic
Can't wait for this one. I love the movie, and lived in Visalia for years.
You need it mark, definitely snatch it up

The big 3 Canadian TH-camrs coming together for a TwinSticks vidya at the auction yerd - Mint 👌
That truck is a beast
Yep it all matches up with my 94 cabover!! Except the smell!
Mark i really love all the replicas but at the same time mrs twinstix is gonna kill ya she said "no more trucks you get three bays for them" 😂😂😂 but it would be nice to see three beautiful replica trucks sitting side by side.

Lol two of my favorite Canadians 👌 pegs a legend
Excellent we're going to have the pork chop express
Way to go Mark Twinsticks great episode
I would pay money to watch Peg Dallas and Twinsticks drive team cross country!
Good 🌞 Morning Mark!! You got to buy the Pork Chops Express. Dallas can repair the metal work. Lol 👍👍
some cleanup, little dash reorganizing, a paintjob and shell be mint
I bet they were glad to see you come along. They probably thought they would never sell it...
Well at least you got a really nice Cat engine and an Alpine headunit out of the deal LOL.

Putting peg in the back with the rat piss… minty!😂
old tri mac truck! nice!
Duel!!!
Bom dia marcos esse caminhão é bonito e fica bonito em sua garagem.
Cool old truck
Get it
As soon as I heard Peg and saw that other guy I knew it was now an adventure.
my dream truck is a 1979 Freightliner FLC120, 8V92 Detroit Diesel, and an 18 speed transmission.
Ol peg leg himself!
You have to buy it 😊
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!
Here we go again.😁
Haha, PORKCHOP EXPRESS! 👍
I learned how to haul cattle in a truck identical to this except it was solid maroon color . The back of the sleeper had painted " THE PLUSH PALACE!" The guy never paid me a dime for the 2 months I worked for him although he kept me high as the eagles fly .
Man now I want a cabover 😂real nice collection
Oh Buddy! Porkchop Express! Freightshakers for the win!
The old cat runs really good
7:28 Dude! A Realistic CB? I have one of those in my 88 FLC! A Realistic TRC-419. Love that thing.

@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj LOL!!!!!
Mark I noticed that you are driving the old crown victoria I really do like the older rides
Haha no not mine that’s Peg’s new whip
The engine sounds good. Should be an aluminum cab, I think. I prefer the older version of the Freightliner conventional with the double headlights bracket like the Peterbilts have. Actually ran one once in 1981/2 for a while.
Good luck finding some old chrome breathers they’re hard to come by for a good deal
Come on Mark , you really want that truck from Dual and the tanker. 1955 Peterbilt 281.
The Duel truck would be extremely difficult to replicate. Brad Wilke has it currently.
you should take Dallas with you on all your on the hunt episodes...
