Surprised that the exhaust stack is shorter than the intake snorkel. In the “ good old days “ before SCR the air filter would get prematurely plugged with exhaust soot if the truck was left idling for prolonged periods of time in a cross wind. That’s why traditionally exhaust stacks are higher than the intake scoop. Nice purpose built trucks.
Welcome to the channel... and yes, that is exactly what this channel is all about, transport history by a couple of truck enthusiasts that travelled the world over documenting what they saw... we hope you enjoy the footage and stories they captured... ps - have a look at the intro video, that will give you the full back story.
ya, that tractor is way longer than it needs to be- Cole's Express did that 15 years earlier, but with two steer axles, one drive and a 40' van- they hauled 4500 gallons of heating oil north, van load of potatoes south

What no moose bumper
I don't understand why all this empty space on the Alaskan between the drom and the trailer. So the tractor could be shorter
How old is this video?. Sounds like them history channel shows.
