Great find! You get those two sicks down, and you'll never get excited about an air shift transmission again! Thanks for sharing! oh ya.........what a great way to drive through the Yakima Canyon!
Cool truck! Too bad that you didn’t buy it to haul logs with. Or turn it into a dump truck. But either I would be putting this truck back to work daily!
Congrats on the new ride! Those needle nose KW's are staples of the logging industry in the Northwest...that's where the KW company started as a matter of fact. Looks like a pretty solid survivor of a truck too. Should make a great toy hauler once you get a 5th wheel on it. How difficult was it to learn the 4x4 shift pattern?
Wasnt too hard once I figured out where the splits were (once I got the tach working that helped exponentially). The main box split is a tough one as the gap is 700 rpm. Very easy to rush that shift. After about 3 hours, i was doing pretty good.

Nice to see the old iron still rolling! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this one get cleaned up!
Congratulations on the new truck!!!! That is a sharp rig!!!
This is gonna be an awesome project! Can’t wait to see the transformation
I bet you the trailer for the ol girl is hauling log today. Very cool old units. Very clean.
I wish I knew Steve. The gent I bought it off of said he left the pup. It's probably still sitting in the weeds where it was left 20+ years ago
Awesome truck
Awsome purchase man, can't wait to see it come together! She needs a straight stack so she can talk to ya.
That's cool, I looked at the add for that truck a few times, cool you ended up with it

im jealous
It needs a little love yet, but it's a fun machine for sure
What atruck😊
Do you think it’s gonna be hard to put a fifth plate on it?
No, its got the air lines already for the pup trailer so it'll be a matter of pulling the bunks and putting a plate on the frame
Would it have come with those wheels?
I believe so. They're steel split ring, so from that era at least.
Is the auxiliary overdrive in 4th?
As far as I know
@@reeseholler92 The backwards shift pattern gave it away. :)
