    It definitely sounded better after the little rev session. Taking that wood box out made it look alot better. I'd take the brackets off and see whats behind door 2 and 3 (For research purposes) you could always put them back on. I appreciate the jokes people take stuff to seriously and I enjoy a good laugh! Keep up the great work on Kenny! Watching from Durham Connecticut USA.

    A little trick you can do to clean your circuit boards is to carefully remove them and wash them in regular dish soap, let them drip dry overnight, then softly blow them with compressed air. When you have made sure that all the water is gone and dry reinstall the freshly cleaned cards and enjoy!

    Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 I never get tired of watching a cabover video, unless you chop the top or purposely wreck it just for fun! 😳 I would definitely take those mufflers off and even do straight pipes. I’m not sure, but when the Centennial cabs came out, there was a portable potty on the passenger side. I guess you could slide the seat or take the seat cushion off and use the potty. There sure seems to be extra room on that side. Just put a seat there and be done with it. Air ride on both sides. Your wife will appreciate it! 🤩 All the hard work cleaning will pay off…at least you will be able to breathe when you’re inside the truck. So, “Kenny” is the truck name? Cool! Good job! 🤩

  • @psavel274
    @psavel274 3 года назад +1

    You did a nice job on the interior for sure, but let me recommend you get yourself a drill brush. The key is rpm's just like anything you're trying to clean that you need some 'elbow grease' for. All the professional detailers use them because they cut down on effort and really get the textured or pleated surfaces clean and break up that tough gunk and crap. I use simple green diluted down to the appropriate strength. Cleans well, but doesn't damage anything, smells good, and doesn't leave the surface greasy like armor all does having all kinds of stuff stick to it after. Murphys oil soap also works wonders on interior panels. The drill brush is suitable for everything including the carpet and they come in different stiffness' depending on how soiled the surface is.

    G'day Mike ,,
    Looks like a pretty cool truck you have there.
    However ,my concern is the mechanical issue of the misfire ,,all the cleaning in the world wont help if you have a serious issue with the engine .
    Chances are ,it's an injector dumping fuel ,but it could be lots of things causing the misfire ,some of which are only solved by major engine works .
    Personally ,,I would be addressing the misfire issue ,so I know 100% what I'm dealing with , and what's needed to undertake the repair .
    Engine & mechanical repair comes first ,,,
    Then bodywork & paint
    I'd simply feel for the cold cylinder exhaust while motor is running to find misfiring cylinder ,,,,
    remove that injector & valve cover , (ROTATE MOTOR) check valves & inside cylinder for good cylinder liner & piston ,
    If only injector has issue,,,
    Consider my options from here ....
    Good luck with it Mike ,
    Respect
    from

    The more I view the actual short dimensions of the wheelbase I realize it needs a new rear clip at some time to look right. A little stretch would look cool if you are so inclined.
    Nice shop to work in. You have no excuse for not working on it due to rain etc. !
    Patching the fiberglass holes in the too should not be hard to do. There a million how to’s online. KW might have a preferred glass and resin but it’s probably generic.
    Best of luck with the work

    There’s 3 other signal lights on the dash so I wonder if the missing one in the middle is the fourth for either the tractor or trailer. Our European trucks have separate indicator lights/bulbs on the dash to tell the difference between the tractor and trailer if there’s a problem. Looking forward to future episodes. 👍🏼

Used to be owned by Junior Johnson when he raced in the Winston Cup Series. Beautiful Truck. It was Budweiser Red. 200 inch wheelbase. With a air ride cab. Had all the options available in the Day. Was a triple digit Truck that was great to Drive. 🏆🇺🇸🏁😎

    The drivers door will need TLC. They open and close a million times more than the passenger side. So take the panel off and clean and lube the mechanisms. Vaseline is your buddy for much of this. Even the vinyl can use a rub of vaseline to help soften the vinyl. No real surface tackiness after.
    Now that we've seen the interior (good enough and period correct), you have to do some sort of gray & blue & white paint scheme on the outside :D

I don’t want to sound like a know it all or some dink but Dad and I restored a General and a Superliner, both were sitting and low mileage , but both had old, green coolant and when I tested it, it’s PH level was pretty bad. Both 400 big cams , 3 and a 4. I would change the coolant filter (WF2071) so it has some fresh DCA. Or drain and put in fresh stuff along with a coolant filter. . Super important on those !

    I had a neighbor who always had a white, "leather", interior to all his cars. He used "Comet" powdered cleaner on it to keep it clean. He said the cleaner a brush and clean water is all it took to keep it clean. He always used cloth baby diapers to wipe it down and rinse it very well. He told me to he most important thing is to change the water frequently to keep it clean when rinsing. He let the car air dry then put everything back in place and park it. He also used this same cleaning method on the roof and the white stripe on his tires. Now to let you know the surprise. He only owned burgundy of red "Cadillac's".
