I'm kind of surprised they didn't mention the Jane Mansfield accident that ultimately led to the implementation of the ICC bar or "Mansfield Bar" on any trailer manufactured after 1967.
Your right, it was not mentioned.
I'm not surprised. These people don't seem to know what they're talking about or how to make good videos.
Im a retired Driver. 34yrs 4million miles. These were the trucks I learned to drive on. I have driven the old CO 40 series International truck. R-Model Macks. I have 1974 GMC Astro 95 COE, 6V Silver 92 Detroit, 10 speed Road Ranger and Eaton rears. Haul a 7-G Dozer and a 6-G loader Allis Chalmers with the Astro 95 and 35ft Beaver dove tail trailer.
Drove my first truck in 1969.....and fell in love with truck driving...
The pre CDL days when Say boy reckon you can drive that truck? was a lot safer than today's tests and physicals.
"In 1966 the DOT was created" and hell followed with it.
well thats one way to put it, lol.
I'm retired after 45yrs and approximately 4.5 million miles, hard to calculate accurately when you two log books.The first truck I drove was a 64 B model Mack with a 1693 cat transplantef and a 5x4 tyranny. The owner put a 60" sleeper on in it and we ran to the west coast from WI hauling cheese out and produce back. That blasted thing could fly, it would beat you to death.. I remember it only getting two miles to gallon. Didn't worry too much about that because fuel was only 20 cents a gallon. I miss those times.
Love the trucks of the 60s...they had style, character and such good body lines.🥰 Good video of the trucks and the active history of that time.🤩
Less war and politics and more trucks!
Yeah, what he said 😒
I totally agree with Matt
Way to go matt
Amen to that Matt
I hear ya. 60% politics and 40% trucks. Awful.
As a little 4yr old boy in 1962 I recall taking an INTEREST in BIG TRUCKS !!...I loved the Cab Overs, Fire Trucks etc... But the one truck that burned it's IMAGE in my young impressionalble mind was a 1960 Mack B61 model Dump Truck...."The Dog!"....Ahhh...Yeah !!
I love these videos brings back many good ol memories I'm 48yrs old now
Looking forward to the 70s The decade I got into trucking.
This was more a 60 history lesson than a trk documentary...
A good enjoyable video, just surprised at their being no Emeryvilles or Crackerboxs, they both were prevalent back in the day.
I drove a Crackerbox w a 318 Detroit in it it would FLY!.,I mean like a hot rod.
I drove truck from 1972 to 2002! When I broke my back in three places! I started out with my Dad! He drove from 1930 to 1980 when his heart made him retire! I've driven Brockways, Diamond Ts, GMC Crackerboxes ,GMC Astros, Peterbilts, Kenworths, Mack's, Internationals, Whites and Freightliners! Cab Overs and Conventional! I've hauled food ( both refrigerated and dry) steel ( in a variety of forms) and other dry freight! I absolutely love your videos! It's hard to describe, but it's sort of like coming home to an old friend! I thank you!
The first of two of my uncles who have been truckers started his truck driving career in the 60's and drove until the early 2000's
I love seeing these old trucks, back when America still existed
When I was a little kid in the late sixties and early seventies I used to love watching the big green and white Safeway trucks drive near my home, they were non stop! The trucks today have no character 😞
Really enjoyed this vid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
VERY NOLTÁGIC. REMEMBER OLD TIMES, IT'S LIKE TRAVEL BACK IN TIME. I LOVET, TANKS TO SHARE. GREETINGS FROM PORTUGAL🌞🌞🌻🌞🌞
👍🤣..very nice Trucks.Like your Show.Thanx from Germany😎
How about since your a chrome shop mentioning how truckers started getting into chrome and polished everything
Sooooooooo many cabovers........ I miss them, but I don't ;)
You'll not want to miss then these days even the most common models upwards to $60,000+ Factory Restored with Modern Upgrades etc.
Those were like climbing a tree getting on and out.
I just realized something about the W900 and K100
In their names the letters in the beginning I guess are supposed represent the Kenworth company itself. If you take K100 above W900 you can obvious see it spells “KW” just like what you see in the Kenworth emblem.
K100
W900
Thought I point that out.
No way
Ken worth
IN MY COLLECTION I HAVE TWO UNITS RELATED TO THE VIETNAM WAR!

Now that's trucking related to the war footage they kept showing. Waisted opertunity on there part.
What I just noticed was the h series ford was a c cab jacked up with a valence below it.
I fully enjoy these episodes. Great job Matty and Dave. See you soon
Thank you for the Channel .
Awesome video ! Drove a CO4070 TransStar II 335 Cummins 13 RR trans.
Very well done.
My dad drove for McLean lol. His dad drove for redball and when he retired after 49 years of otr driving he was driving for celadon but he stayed with stoops for I'd say 18 years.
My dad drove and retired from Red Ball. I remember that they had terminal in Houston and a larger one in Dallas.
The 40s and 50s put out some great trucks and were great episodes but ive been dying for the 60s and upcoming episode for the 70s
I would like to see the history of Marmon, Autocar and Brockway. And Osh Kosh, CCC and maybe an episode of brands no longer made! Thanks and keep on truckin'
@silverbird58 Agreed , I wanna see a White Trucks video .
I can't believe one of the best trucking channel on TH-cam has less than 20.000 followers! Best stories and what a voice right Maddie ? Thanks guys for keeping me entertained 👍🏼
Back in the days when the length limit was shorter & the weight limit was lighter here in the USA🇺🇸, cabover semis were the king of the roads.
Hello handsome
Not to be a jerk, but the picture when she discussed Pete 358 was a 359. The "bird" hood emblem had already been introduced on the 351/381
I used to drive,brand new Ford W models&WTs to get fifth wheels put on them,Drove some GMC Astros as well.Bought a 60 series Chevy Coe tow truck and junked cars about 7 yrs.
Oh you must be kidding man
Awesome video! I love theese, keep em up PLEASE!
Back in the day when cabovers were the king of the roads in the USA🇺🇸
It was a golden era in trucking. When the Civil Rights Act was signed into law in 1964, that barred the trucking industry from discrimination, meaning when you hire a truck driver, you cannot judge that driver on how he or she looks. You search only for the talent and that's all. In the trucking industry, Ford's H model was more of an over-the-road model of the medium duty C model tractor. Two-stick shifting was still going strong back then. Another truck that was a cabover but a medium duty truck was the White 3000. Those were sold by the thousands. Arco Oil which was an oil company bought a fleet of them.
Love your comment. Do you happen to know what the Ford's H cost new? Or the White 3000? Thanks
I wonder you know so much about truck
Trucking decades ago was a path to home ownership and the middle class now it's a dead end street ending with indentured servitude.
And yet they're always complaining they can't get enough drivers.... which is BS! They could get all the drivers they want if they'd treat them right. But instead, they burn through 100 Ukrainians, Mexicans, Pakistanis or whatever because they can treat them like shit and the fucking government lets them!
I was hoping they might speak of the fuel tankers. Continuing my research. (I'm researching fuel tank testing that some OTR truckers had to do, and I don't know if this is for an underground tank or tanker trailer. but in the 1960s without PPE, it could make the driver sick.)
I've become a HUGE fan of this channel
Thank you very interesting
Awsome.keep up the ole time videos
Great thanks
Good video always cool to watch history
Awesome
I enjoy these videos thank you !!! Mattie you do an awesome job !
What happened with the Freightliner? You did mention the Freightliner.
Didnt mention any Dodge class 8 trucks in the 1960s
Cause dodge sucks
Great video! Next y’all should do a piece on MARMON trucks. Love the way they look ever since I first spotted one and had no idea what it was lol
What about the Mack superliner?
Mack RWS 700 (Superliner) didn't come out till late 1979
This is a history lesson has nothing to do with Trucking
I was there🏁😊
Just subscribed to your channel drove a Ford c 9000 in 80s miss trucking meet a lot of good people.
no mention of Freightliner, discrimination again
Too much time on the U.S. history lesson MORE truck history
I agree...1960's Wht/Frghtlnr was king of C.O.Es!!!!
Maddie, good job on coordinating the events in history, with the milestones of the industry, especially seeing as we Americans have some of the worst memories skills of all the humanoids here on the third rock 🪨 from the Sun 🌞.
Hon, you need to work on your pronunciation of some of the words used in your script/ narrative, for instance: the word "mores", referring to the basic moral standards for a society, or as referenced in your script, a sociological change in the cultural, and societal norms, of a population is normally pronounced: like "more-a", or like "moray", like the aquatic eels. Work on this, and it will enhance the level of professionalism that your presentation will have. Keep up the good work with your partner 👏 👍.

How about more TRUCK HISTORY
Hi Steve, thanks for watching! If you'd like more Truck History... please check out our Truck History video series located on our channel as well! In that series, we discuss different makes and models and company's as well as the history behind them. Hope this helps!
Too Much Politics
love the video.
Great video!
Brockway?
What does this have to do with trucks? This documentary was a high school history term paper not trucks.
Peterbilt 351 was before the 359
I think I know the truth now ❤❤❤
May I ask what speed this trucks was able to keep on interstate? 100kmh? Just asking if there was speed limit for trucks.
You know what else might be interesting is to see if trucks were governed back then , the truck I drove ( a 1999 International ) was governed at 110 km's an hour .
@@adamdanko596 in europe it is 90kmh speed limit.
110 km and 90 kms... how do you get anything done at those speeds???? my Pete will do around 177 kms per hour.
@@scottberry5266 sorry I am from Europe... 90kmh is a limit. I saw one crazy LT(lithuania) driver which did more then 160kmh. My old 1975 W115/8 2.4Diesel was doin max in table and that bitch was slighty movin faster...
@@michal.abramowicz : I know... I’m just messing with you 😎
Stick to the trucks, social commentary isn't your forte.
Can you please start mentioning more emissions systems on these trucks going forward on this series..... towards mid 2000's
I've not seen any videos of the ugliest truck ever produced. That would imo be the International boot. Could you guys do one?
Love it
Drove and old. White. Western Star conventional. tandem axle tractor for CP transport ( CP. Railroad ) Edmonton, Alberta pulling Fruehauf 48’ foot vans around. Edmonton and area. there yard and office. was Located. at 109st and Jasper Ave , I believe the truck was a 1973 or 1974 model with a. 15 over ( deep reduction) transmission and equipped with jake brake and I think the mechanic told me it 40, 000 LBs rear ends.

It And it was Late fall, early winter season. 1979 into 1980 / Have. a good. day. / Bill. S. Canada
Does anyone presently market a cab-over truck ?

Trucks not politics
I am surprised is it a historical video or political .
Why is the the thumbnail backwards?
Own a ford c 8000, with a cat engine,
At what point do you stop calling it your brand new series?
Trucking sure has went to crap after the 90's
Don't need a political lesson here.. WWF
Real trucks. Unlike the crap Ola of today
Used to be a great profession, but tattle-tale technology has ruined it.
Too much world history and not enough truck history.
Hello Eric !! I have a way to end the effects of voter fraud. I talked to Ron Robertson's son at the YOUNG AMERICA FOUNDATION, thought it was a great idea.
Too much untruckishness in this video.
hello Matty. may I ask were it was that you heard peterbilt bird ?? I was told it was a long horn steer , being built in Texas and all. check it out and let me know. thank you.
I heard was a delta wing plane. It is pretty ambiguous
Hi there George, thanks for watching! I gathered that information directly from the Peterbilt website actually... www.peterbilt.com/about/heritage
However, it does make a lot of sense for it to be a long horn as well, for those reasons you mentioned. Perhaps it was intended to have multiple meanings! Thanks for your question and thanks again for watching!
@@mattberg916 what are you talking about, Delta wing? were in the world did you get that from? would really like to know? have a nice day
Sorry to disturb everybody with what heard...probably on some you tube video. Call it what you want. Looks like a wing to me
@@jackschromeshop8296 hello again Matty. I looked at the sight you suggested, now I believe we need to go to the archives and get this one figured out. the complete story of the Peterbilt hood ornament. steer bird. or plane what do you think of that idea. watering to hear, thank you again, good-dayy.
the DOT boooo!lol
👍😉

GMC- junk Ford- junk Mack- junk International- junk Marmon- junk Freightliner-junk Western Star-Junk Volvo- piece of shit Brockway- piece of shit Peterbilt 💓💓💓👍👍👍 Kenworth 💓💓💓👍👍👍
You should keep your political views out of these videos.
Stick to trucks, and leave history to historians.
Wtf!!!! More politics than trucks!! Thumb down.
