Just cleaned & sold an AE-1. Good cameras that held up well & fairly easy to CLA.

I'd wager the W900 also held up well through the years.... though it may have taken a bit longer to clean one.

Just a guess that he is hauling a pair of generators headed for oil fields,forestry operations,mining operations,etc.Although those stainless tanks on the units make me thing they are for some kind of chemicals,not just plain old fuel oil.I rode in a Brockway with one of those V 12's back around that time,as a young fellow used to riding in trucks powered by 220 Cummins,or 140 HP Macks,that thing was quite a thrill.I never got to drive it though.

The Cannon AE-1 was a great camera. I bought one new in 1979 and used it until my first digital Nikon in 2004. So I had pictures of me in college and pictures of all my kids in High School. Still have mine.

Definitely a tried and true workhorse of the industry.

12V71? That's not possible! I can only see one stack!

I hadn't noticed that.Those things did need duals as they gobbled a tremendous amount of air.Then I realized that unless there is a second air filter on the other side that one on the drivers side wouldn't come close to feeding that buzzin dozen.

That had to be a beast. The DD V12 and 16s were some workhorses. When I was in high school working tug boats in the summer, we had a V16 in a 105'. tug (Lone Star) and that sucker could move some barges.

They hauled fuel to the mine in Cassiar and hauled asbestos back to Stewart. That was a tough run on those trucks
