Snowmans Truck Tractor KW Kenworth W900 and Hobbs trailer

This 1973 Kenworth and 1970's Hobbs Trailer is an exact replica of the truck tractor and trailer from Smokey and the Bandit. All work was hand painted on the trailer with a half inch paint brush by professional sign painter Gene Maynor. The truck is an all original 50th Anniversary Kenworth and is a one owner truck since new with 170,000 actual miles. 13 speed Transmission,4.44 Rears, two peice aluminum wheels and all. The engine is a 350 Cummins. We finished this truck in June 2009 and was about a two year project. www.bradsclassictrucks.com

VERY NICE replica!!!! Wonder where you found the Hobbs trailer mudflaps? One thing I noticed is yours has fiberglass cb antennas & Bandit had Hustler brand cb antennas; minor detail. Really enjoyed the video, brought back MANY memories!!
