Over the last couple of days I've actually had the pleasure of driving one of only 12 of these trucks imported into Australia... It is a 1969 W900A Seattle Extended hood with a factory fitted 400 cummins with no jakes... It still works most days and is the pride and joy of its owner... I was very privileged that he allowed me to drive it... Its great to see these photo's !!

I paused ithe vid1:38-1:41 was definatly my old truck it was a 73 ext w/ 1674/5x4 we bought it from a friend of ours. She had it it was a transfer. My dad & I stretched it and put the big sleeper on it ( was from a freightliner) we put a 450 cummins in it . I hauled cattle and lumber all over Calif until I sold it in 91

1968spawn...Thanks SO Much for the post & Memories. I owned two of these, a
74 & an 81..both with DD 12V71 power and 6x4 DBL od's...the ONLY way to FLY !! hehe. I recognize the 1st trk, the last one and the one at 2:25 as Tri-States out of Greely,CO. The yellow one at 0:44 with the homebuilt extended hood & Dbl 60" flat tops joined together,is out of Calgary,
AB. Canada,and has a twin turbo'd 3408 under the hood with "sticks". GREAT Post !! THANK YOU !!

1968spawn.....OOPS ! Was just looking at it again.....is the 1st "A" model one of Monforts trucks ? I well remember the "Monfort Lane" on I-80......ahhh Yes !
1693TA Cat power and Boogadee, Boogadee...BOOGADEE !!! The 1693 was...THEE Finest truck engine Cat ever put into a Semi......probably because it wasn't designed originally for hwy truck use.....which is why Cat "scrambled" to design a "new" truck engine....the 3406...one that would last as long as the 1693 Sadly !!

I shot the yellow one at a rest area west of Des Moines IA. on I-80 Sept. 1997 I recall the awesome sound of that machine. I also recall a extdhood orange Peterbilt 359 leased to the same carrier. It had a custom hood and a flat top 63 inch bunk.
