A Kenworth! Haven't seen too many up here as garbage trucks and you got yourself a Maxon as well... top job on the catch. Got an interesting higher pitched sound to this engine; sounds sweet in gear. Funny hearing her screaming and watching the packer and arms crawling! lol Old under-container pockets, that must be something harder to find now... CalMet'd be the only hauler I could think of where I've seen them with this set-up recently. Nice footage of an oldie.
@MitchellM15 yep! I love these trucks. Yea, I was a bit bummed that the sound wasnt quite as deep as others lol Being from SoCal, about half the haulers in LosAngeles and many in Orange County where I'm from, still use under dumpster pockets. Thats pretty much only a West Coast thing. The only thing I'd like to see different in this truck is to have the driver be more agressive when applying throttle during cycles. He eases into it so little at a time you miss out on the deep initial roar!
I tip my hat to you Mike! I've seen that truck before in San Fernando, I'm super glad you were able to get it. I like this thing alot, one of my favorite engines, and cabs. I love the Kenworth Rustler! As for the Legal One Scott, yes there have been ones with followers, in fact I have video of one with a follower.
@shadofax96 So Rustler is the model name? My favorite chassi prior to this had been the 310 since I grew up to it, and had no experience with Kenworths. But Im pretty sure this is my favorite chassi now! Do you happen to know if there are any other Kenworths anywhere in LA County? If so I'm highly interested in finding one. This truck really sparked my interest in filming FLs again. All I get by my house are boring as hell new trucks.
@3amrepmike3 I don't know of any particularly. I'm always on the look out for them too just in case. I know that there are some Kenworths out in the desert sitting in used truck yards that picked them up from MG Disposal who had a whole fleet of Kenworth/Maxon Legal One trucks. Keep your eyes peeled, you never know what kinds of gems you'll find on the freeways.
now that is a bitchin truck. i dont care its old and slow, thats was when trash trucks where trash trucks. and the best part, they didnt try to shine her up, dents, scratches and paint missing. good catch, peice of history that is long forgotten
@AAWNM couldnt agree more! I always have had a personal liking for older equipment over the new stuff, and was thrilled to find this still running, especially in Cali! The emmissions laws here are rediculous. I havnt got a clue how this truck is allowed to be operated here with all the fumes it puts out. damn near choked myself following it between stops! LOL
Freakin Bill status..NOT a Peterbilt, a KENWORTH 310 that is incredible. Just incredible--very impressed with you guys for being able to catch this piece of history.
Looked like it had some kind of follower on the packer (can that be?)..never knew the Legal One model to be offered with that, but I guess so (unless my eyes are mistaken). Some pretty hard revving there, but I love it. FAV
btw I didn't notice any shaking, only the great HD quality ha!
@Trashman242 I was wondering when Id get a huge comment from you on this LOL thanks! Jared just about flipped a bitch when he saw it on the side street where a couple of the pics were taken. A good hours wait until the machanics fixed her up and we followed, soo worth it. I guess this did have a follower, but it was a pretty short one, maybe 2 feet? to catch some little debris I suppose. The shaking was mainly when I zoomed into the packer a bit since zoom amplifies shaking too lol
@3amrepmike3 haha well it's good seeing a *handful* of other users who at least care about old equipment / are old enough to somewhat know how better it is than today's stuff. Most people will only freak out about brand new trucks and when they see this they say "eghh, old piece of crap..nice vid"
Also you could tell this was a much much older Maxon because the spacing between vertical body braces is so much larger, plus that neat round little vent thing on the cab shield which I've never seen.
@Trashman242 yep, the first thing I noticed about this truck was the spacing between the ribs on the body. Almost put something about that in the description but didnt
@JaccobDalton Kenworths are probably a tie for my favorite chassi along with the Peterbilt 310/320 then followed by CCC. Kenworths are a rare sight now a days, but Im glad to have found this one
This is sure a truck that makes you enjoy watching FL footage! Doesn't get better than old trucks like these! This is amazing! Cab looks like a pete too!
Still goin when others have long gone...great catch Mike, love old FLs.
