Dave Wester's collection of Kenworth trucks

This was suppose to be my entry to the ATHS video contest but the webpage kept giving me upload error so might as well put it on my page. Some shots of Dave Wester's trucks back in 2014

Damn son nice collection you got. How many trucks in all do you have

[@oxmachines]

Oh I wish this was mine. Theese are Dave's trucks. I'm just lucky he trusts me with every one to drive. He knows I don't chooch hard on em and I baby everything. I don't wanna break his old show trucks. He's really up there in age and he can't drive them all so he's kind enough to share his toys with me. He's good friend. Ox

Mr. Dave Wester
I love trucks, I love Kenworth ...
My dream is to be in contact with the trucks, whether to drive, to clean, or to maintain.
So I ask ...
What do I have to do, to have the opportunity to work for or with you?
Please promise me that you will think about it while I dream of this opportunity ...
Health for you and the Kenworths
thank you so much

i love the sound of those old cummins

[@oxmachines]

These pictured here are using the Cummins 220 a naturally aspirated engine plus a drop-back exhaust manifold for that extra “pop” and growl. Definitely a sound that catches old timer ear, or what’s left of their hearing. I was at a show and a 77 y/o gentleman was standing at my drivers door of the 56’wrecker. We waited patiently until I was done wandering everyone’s questions. I walked over to him he was standing with a cane. He told me he spent over 50 years running a very similar setup and then onto training drivers when it got too much for him. No kids to pass his business onto so he sold it all a number of years ago. The show was about to shut down, I asked the older guy if he’d enjoy a ride? If we can get him up into the cab. 4 of us got him up in safely. I was describing some of the equipment as we putted out of the fairgrounds he said to me , “son, don’t talk just let me listen””. Ok, so out the gate I probably went thru more gears than needed but I wanted him to hear it all. I looked over the man was in tears with a smile I’ll never forget. That’s why I do this hobby.⭕️❌

So you said it has no front brakes on that 1950? When did they start putting front brakes on them?

[@johnmoraco2653]

rlgdestroyu front brakes became mandatory in 1972. and 1952 it was mandatory to have front turn signals.

[@tonyborello3826]

John Moraco I think your wrong about the front brakes, I had a 76 k 100 and it didn't have any front brakes

[@jamiehurd9526]

it was 1980 when steer axle had to have brakes, any truck built after was mandatory.

[@wallyfronzaglio372]

1977

[@metaagyel620]

Jamie Hurd is right.
