THROTTLE POWER + Tim I agree cabover tractor's are great did you get your international transtar 4070A kit done yet still working on my tanker trailer at the moment will work on my international transtar kit once that's done great video keep em coming
@@dennisbisconti4583 Actually I was just talking about that kit this morning Dennis. I want to get it back out after Christmas and start working on it again. One I need to get finished up.
Nice collection of cabovers. A lot of reference and inspiration for some big rig model builds. My Uncle Lester had a single screw KW cabover in the 70's. He contracted to Bekins Moving and when home, for a couple weeks sometimes in the summer, he would hire me to ride with him locally and help load and unload the truck, since he had to do that himself. I was like 12 years old at the time and learned a lot about moving furniture and boxes, as well as enjoyed getting to ride in the truck and make a few summer dollars. Thank you Tim for the showing.
I learned to drive in a 79 Astro with a 6V92 and a 9spd. They were all windshield. Lol. Got an Astro model kit built up that looks just like it. Loved them old cabovers.
Very very cool Thomas!! That Mack Cruiseliner is a great kit and the Freightliner is cool too! You can do so much with them and never even build 2 a like.
The first ones nice like my old 1978 pete I had except the stupid wheelbase...the freightliner 2 axle other then paint was exactly like my first truck I hauled cattle with in the 70s.
Lots of cool looking trucks. For every taste, slightly modified or highly customised. Thanks for sharing Tim, take care and keep up the good work my friend.
It's sad to watch this video knowing I can't drive anymore. I owned 6 cabovers for most of my driving career but switched to conventional when I went to work for a local company. I really do miss those days. 😭
Awesome video Tim. The cabovers are my favorite truck. Both of my uncles had cabovers back in the early 70's. This video gives some good ideas for paint schemes for models. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you and your family a blessed Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🙏 Terry
My mouth is watering here Have to try and find some of those kits and really cool colors and combos that black reffer is awesome only ever seen one of those cabovers here in Ireland and that's about 20 years ago thanks for showing buddy 👍
Give me the factory stock, old school iron any day of the week. These drop visor, huge bumper, straight piped, stretched out, rear fender trucks that are popular today look too comical. Really messes up the look when the old school trucks are pimped out as such. Kind of like OCC choppers back in the day.
just my suggestion,try to make your engine more fuel friendly and sell your truck in asia...sepecially south east asia..im indonesian,and im so bored driving japanese brand like hino,ud truck,mitsubishi and some european like volvo and scania..the main reason is japanese and european truck are fuel friendly...i wish some day i can drive peterbilt,freightliner and other american brand
The 1 thing I never got about the genius idiots that design vehicle was why would you need a set back steer axle on a freakin cabover? I kind of get them on hoods but not really. It just ruins the look. KW was less so than Internationals and Freightliners but when I see those ugly climb bars on KWs I just think a cheap company truck. Funny all the "orientations" and even as a DDC Instructor one time "swing" past the axles was never considered. From an old pad wrapper that always had tandems slid all the way forward on 53s backward and forward that tailoring will screw you if you are too lazy to get out and make micro moves. I will not say G.O.A.L. because that is an idiot thing and takes away from the FOVon your mirrors. But it is second nature to real Drivers without stupid stickers.
@@THROTTLEPOWER As much as I love cabovers, I forgot to mention how purely miserable they were to drive in the winter I 70 and north. And 1 truck that is better off slamming into a 4 wheeler or elk or moose and even a cow straight head on. Aim for it because you don't want a glancing blow. Another big truck head on? You are dead either way. And now in a shop always tilt and lower your own cab. I owned a Freightliner Cabover in '93 and a Frieghtliner shop bent both struts dropping the cab too fast. And they still had a lot on the road. I had to sue them. For the parts and labor. So I can imagine "technicians" now that has never worked on one. Now I own a big bunk K100. I love that truck. At 55 I can still undress laying down. It's sweet but harder and harder to find aesthetician parts like the 13 speed road Ranger shiny round shift knob and that hard beige plastic steering wheel when it starts to Crack. Even windshield especially those little corners. Hit an owl that took out my fiberglass visor and had to hunt one down in a junkyard and repaint it. Could have got a stainless so much cheaper. He'll I have probably three or four brand new trucks worth in that one old truck but I love it. And it's still a working truck and probably in better shape than any new truck. The freakin promoter still works even. From original to now... a 500 kitty cat instead of the 425 and 8 bag air ride instead of springs. And on the dash two dump valves were added for the truck suspension and a 10 foot spread axle trailer. Even got the three brake valves still.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Not really. More like. FUCK! On a K100 it is harder and harder to find the visors. Everything is so hard to find now because the truck is so old. I can find a stainless visor for a quarter of the price. I like air in my seat. To be totally honest K100 visors are special order parts now. But I want original. But I found a junkyard with a daycare CO and brought a ladder and wasp spray and then had the paint matched 500 dollars later with a 150 dollar part still original. I mean the old biggest hard plastic steering wheels and the big round chrome road Ranger shifts get a little pricy at times. But it is harder and harder tokeep the truck original outside and in. Saturn Transportation actually used to pay me to sit at Iowa 80 for a few days and talk about them. After I had to jump through hoops and provide records to be hired on with them. It was a really good company to lease with though. They are no more. One time I had five million dollars snapped to the side and "wrapped". I had 8 million in the trailer wrapped and spent 4 days in Ogden waiting for a totally open road across Wyoming in the winter going to a Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Minneapolis. You are never ever late on one of a kind loads. Seriously some loads are big money on percentage. Yeah 80 percent with detention and holdover due to weather. A week late and shutting down paid is better than 6 months and totally remained. Loading off "the line" is a pain in the ass and takes a while but that is or used to be pad wrap. Now after 4 hours drivers think is too long. Try three days. My last gig with Saturn was doing slot machines from the gulf coast to Reno and back. Haul ass with slots up and two or three days waiting and then back. Te bar at the Petro had bottled beer wit ice in it. He'll yeah. Not to mention the brokers in Reno. I worked more with them than my company in Moundsview MN. God I miss that. Saturn went out of business.

Very very cool Thomas!! That Mack Cruiseliner is a great kit and the Freightliner is cool too! You can do so much with them and never even build 2 a like.

A modern american cabover, with flat floor, high roof, air-ride etc like the european trucks would be sweeeeeeet....

Thanks, you too Neamon! 🎁🎄🎅⛄🎁
Bug catchers!!!
So true!!
Love the COE's but I hate the extended chassis
I can sure understand that Rick, they have a look all to their own.

It's hard to beat the old school factory look Jeff!

I agree 👍😍
If this is your best collection, you haven't been around many.
👍👍
Great vid, Tim. Of all the funny things, one of my mates owns a White freightliner, not many here in jolly old England 🤣👍😎Pete 🤓
Very cool Pete! 👍😉
@@THROTTLEPOWER I'll take some photo's of it in the summer. 👍😎
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Cool 👍
Looks like serial killer
So true!
Driver being the 1st one to arrive @ the scene of the accident.
Yep
what ever ended up happening to the 1990 orange cabover Kenworth k100 obscene gesture
I don't know
just my suggestion,try to make your engine more fuel friendly and sell your truck in asia...sepecially south east asia..im indonesian,and im so bored driving japanese brand like hino,ud truck,mitsubishi and some european like volvo and scania..the main reason is japanese and european truck are fuel friendly...i wish some day i can drive peterbilt,freightliner and other american brand
👍 👍 👍 👍
Hmm...so your body is basically in the crumple zone??? Might not be good....

Not fun of stretching at all
I understand, several people are not fans either.
