- Here is John, I think that's his first name Berrington's classic old White/Freightliner cabover arriving at Truckin' For Kids 2018 with 852 cubic inches of 12V71 abuzzin' under the cab. Looks like the original owner decided to splurge on buying the 12-cylinder Detroit Diesel, but forgot to check the box for the power steering too! This was what trucking was back in the day. Shot at the Truckin' For Kids Truck Show in Irwindale, California on Saturday October 6th., 2018.

Cabovers are becoming more rare everyday.
Not in Europe
@Chuck Gladfelter yeah EuroBoxes are built to fit tight spaces. Closest US came to a Euro is the Argosy 90" mid roof, or maybe the K100 short cab.
Many people complained about them being rough to ride, less fuel efficient, uncomfortable, less aerodynamic, and harder to access the engine. They went out of style. They were popular 30-35 years ago tho.
@@yusufelsayed7898 Length restrictions played a big part too, but since they largely don't exist in the states anymore COEs have become less popular.
@@NavyGuy2OO7 yes indeed.
I remember seeing these all the time in the 80s on the roads.
Rob J,
Me too
Old standbys.
oh man. childhood memories. born in 78 and have always loved this stuff
Had more than my share of cabovers back in the day, including running sleeper team in a Mack Cruiseliner-leaf spring suspension, manual steering. It’s probably easier to get to sleep rolling down the side of a mountain than it was in the bunk of that thing. One regret is that I never had the opportunity to drive a “Screamin’” Detroit.
Nice looking ol' Freight Shaker. Great to hear the ol' Detroit buzzin'. I miss hearing trucks with the different sounding engines. Now days, they all sound the same & no real style to them. Stay safe.
I’d love to do my work with it everyday
Last 2 stroke Detroit I drove was in a GMC Astro with a 335 hp 6V92 with a RTO 9513. Wind it right up to the governor shift it fast and wind it up again
And leave it there! The 'sweet' spot!
That sure sounds nice.:) I love Detroit's so much I put a 4-53T in my 2009 Ford F350.:)
Excellent exhaust growl from what's quickly become a sought after cab style.
Yes, people are getting nostalgic for old American cabovers. They definitely have a cool factor about them.
Cat lover here but I cannot deny the awesome rumble of a Detroit. My dad drove for Frito-Lay in tube late 80s-early 90s and all if their cabovers (Ford cl9000s had Detroits)
That's cool that he got to drive Detroit powered cabovers. I wish I knew about and appreciated the old 2-strokes sooner.
Freightliner made the best looking cabovers by far
well let's not forget about the pete 362 tho
K100 flat top vit!!!
Yes they did.! The only other ones i like r the kw s Love the one in Terminator 2 judgement day beautiful truck ashame they destroyed it . Wrecker or not. Lol
@@hunterriley9904 holy shit I live that truck also now that you mention it
Quite a shock going from GMC Asteroid to Freightliner cabin over. All windshield to small windshield. LOL
She sounds and looks amazing
I remember when the DOT did away with the length laws you could go in a dealership and buy one Cabover and get 2 free. Couldn’t give them away. Everyone wanted big hoods. Now they are rare.
See at least one pretty much every day around here.
One cabover is pretty rare I'd say👍
My two favorites are a Peterbilt 281 needle-nose or a 352 cabover.
Can’t imagine the old boys drivin that 22 hours a day back in the outlaw days,,,,deaf and no discs left in spine lol real men back then
Be real u know what u can drive
About all I drove were cab overs back in the early 70s, the later in the late 70s. I always liked them. Back in 2015(?) I purchased an '83 dbl sleeper w/3406 13 spd. Nice old truck. Plans to put it to work didn't pan out, so kept it for a few years (took it to a truck show or two)... sold it. Still miss it, but certainly wasn't practical for me to keep it as a play toy.
@@laming2006 I like a 3406 if it's right. Pull like a bull!
Back when Detroit Diesels were allowed to make fun noises in the pre-emissions diesel era.
Theyre not illegal to drive
@Creeguy Vernon shit
Man I had arms back in the day.....sure taught me to how to back up right the first time too
I remember those days, no power steering, very few had power windows, defrosters that barely worked if at all heaters that were ok, but when the truck stopped the heat dropped like a rock. Many times had to keep them rev'ed to at least 1000 RPM to stay warm .
Power steering is just something else to break on a truck a 2 am 1000 miles from nowhere.
Beautiful
Not if you maintain the equipment check for potential problems before it happens. That's why with these engines you never lug them or leave them idling because they glaze up
This driver backed that rig like a "BOSS" great vlog!!
Awesome to see a real driver get it in like that. Also very nice to see old and new(ish) next to each other too. I’d drive that black one in a heartbeat. Sweet ride.
I think the owners name is John Berrington. If you'd like to see the other rigs of his that I was able to get videos of, just type in "Berrington" in the search bar on my channel. He's got some beauties that are fully restored, but keep their original 1970's style. Really beautiful trucks. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Ive talked to some old timers and they were dead set against power steering...they said they couldn't judge icy roads going down the highway with that damn power steering! lol When I started driving I drove FLD120 Shakers and they had a thin unpadded steering wheel and I very much preferred that over the thick and smaller padded ones of today. I was able to feel black ice better with the shaker steering wheels much better.
Used to called them flat noses as a kid but I'll never forget that throaty sound.
What a beautiful sounding Detroit under that cab.
That truck reminds of the the 1984 frightliner cabover towtruck from the t2 with out the towcable. arm.But still great looking frightliner overover
This one and Kenworth K100
That cab over isn't as rare as that sound of a 12 cyl 2 stroke . You dont get to hear them much in California anymore . To hear the old 6 or 8 71s pulling logs up outta the mountains is the greatest thing you'll ever hear.
I bet that was nice on a quiet morning to hear some hard working 2-stroke Detroits echoing through the mountain valleys.
We used to get hay from guys who only ran cabovers out in San Luis Obispo.
@@espeescotty Where we lived in the 70s, there was a quarry about a mile North and an Oliver Dealer 1/4 mile west. The Euclids 6-53s screamed every morning and the occasional 4-53 in a 1900 Oliver on the dyno. Once in a while, a Cracker Box turned off one highway to the other and you could count 17 or so wails from that one. Wasn't Surround Sound, but it was Detroits echoing their answers across the hills. Such days of glory!!!
Geeze, by that description, it sure sounded like it was surround sound, and how cool you could count all of the gear changes of the trucks on the highway. What a treat for all of those that enjoyed the sounds of the old Detroits.
@BigFish I moved out of commifornia to the middle of the mohave desert about 10 years ago because government there had gone full stupid. I see small clips on the news sometimes but still hard to imagine what it's like now. No matter how much rain and flooding they had government always claimed they were in a drought. Farmers were getting cut off,prices were sky high. The more water the central valley could save the more they could sell to so cal at even higher prices. And taxes! They got a tax and a law for everything.
Love to see cabovers still on the road 🤜🤛
Indeed my good sir!
Very nice Freightliner cabover,
Sound's great,good driver,
with flatbed trailer. Parking
between trucks takes good
driving skills. I love those
Peterbilt, Kenworth,and
Freightliner,cabover truck's!
Always makes me think of the original "terminator" movie
An orchestra of 12 pistons singing us a sexy song, love it
Detroit 12v71 and 8v71 are sexy as shit all these fiberglass shitboxes out today just don't compare
So that's a 12cyl, diesel, jeezus how much torque can that thing muster up!!! Badass
Man that old Detroit sounds sweet
Most efficient way to turn fuel into noise without the side effects of horsepower
You’re getting a lot of mileage out of that joke without the side effect of laughter. The comment is more applicable on some Harley site, why don’t you go over there for awhile... they need some clever quips like yours.
All business without the damn computer.
Please don't forget how nice business was w/o the damn noisy trucks.
@Taylor McDonald because you need all this diagnostic stuff before you even start working on it??
Man what a nice truck. I would love to listen to that Detroit here and there.
Yeah, definitely high on the cool scale. I was super happy to be able to get it on video.
Yes they are but in Mexico you can see a cab over every day awesome very nice freightliner.
Truck so epic, even the trailer had to bow on it's knees lol
Driver's are like "Damn, he can out pull two of our trucks" lol
I'm impressed! No leaking jokes!
I know guys trying to help out with parking are good guys with the best of intentions.. but believe me, we do this every day.. and your directing is only a distraction.. we can see the line👍
“Watch’em, he’s backing up!”
oh mercy YES! The red and black one is nice but I'd run the black one in a nano-second! Goodness what a rig and with DIRT on the trailer. How uncouth. HA! MY kind of rig! Something to ,make MONEY with. Boy Howdy yall did EXTRA good on this! You were right, SCotty!
THanks U 2!
Hahahaha!!! I knew I had a winner with this ole girl and you when I heard her coming before I even saw her! The guy that's on the ground in the video told me that this rig was coming and I got excited because I knew it would get your attention for sure. Thanks Lewie from the both of us.
eSPeeScotty You can bet your sweet little bippy you did! THAT is a Freightliner cab in my book and look at the heads turning, especially MINE! I just guess it was my EARS, not my head! There are some good pulls around here, especially coming from the foothills of SC up and it'd be the perfect place to let that thing loose! I can remember the guy with the truck shop with the 9500 GMC with the double turbo V-12. A little over 730 horses to the ground and it was SWEET! That old long hood was FULL! But that White is a real truck in my book, a WORK truck! Thanks, U 2! I'll be grinning over that and giving it a rewatch for a WHILE!
Thanks for the multiple views acommin' for this video! I remember that 9500 Jimmy...you told my about it before. 730hp on the ground must've smeared some asphalt at a few stoplights. Hopefully with this rig, you'll get some good dreams of some 2-stroke truckin'.
eSPeeScotty NO bad dreams with a 2-cycle anything! I always wondered what a Road Commode (Commander) would be like with a double-turbo 92 and an 18 speed. OR a Crackerbox. That'll be a dream and a half!
THanks again U 2!
That's a nice white freight liner cabover shaker
2:39 Perfect distancing I can’t even pull that off with my dually and a horse trailer lol
Wish they'd sell new cabover trucks here in North America again
Need to bring back them old Detroit sound back
It sure is a cool unique sound.
To me that's the terminator truck
What a fantastic sound 👍
I want a cabover there so pretty and represents American trucking in the day
A lot of motor muscle right there! Heavy Hauler!
I love the oil reservoir right behind the sleeper on the frame 🥴
That sound is perfect with video game or rctruck sound sound just like the kids rc truck it awesome what a nice machean look well loved its life
Had a 1997 coe freightliner.ordered it new.great truck.
I wish some of the current COE's for sale in Australia would be offered here in the states with left-hand drive.
beauty truck ...... sound from the history .... i love the old trucks ...
40 years ago, a cabover and a conventional setting side by side., they would take the conventional every time . If you had to live in a cabover for weeks at a time you would look at it different. My first truck was a cabover freightliner because it was cheaper. But not to away from the video, it is a nice truck
LOVE THAT TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Some greyhound buses came with the 12v71 engine and one of my uncle's who used to drive them said those buses had so much torque you could maintain 50-65 mph thru mountain passes.
Boy, I bet that was a kick to drive that back in those days. To know you had something special buzzin' away back there that had some cojones.
Detroit 2 strokes , Best sounding diesel in the world.
Who is that cool ass older dude with the fedora hat driving this badass truck
If those cab overs didn't have air ride they were one ruff ride
god I miss this event
god i love truck mirrors they are 90 percent of your driving in a rig! even a straight truck!
How about those truckers back in the 30's, 40's, & 50's that only had mirrors the size of the bottom of beer cans stuck out on a rod 2-feet off the side of the cabs... crazy to think of today. True backing up skills with those dinky things. And it explains why there was "" on the back of trailers.
@@espeescotty that makes a driver only more skilled especialy at nite with ice on them
Yes, absolutely.
Used to drive one ride ruff as crap but I love them
THAT THING'S A F-N BEAST !!!
that is one bad ass freight shaker!!!!
Optimus and nemesis prime are friends now.
What a beast
I wish Detroit would bring the 2 stroke back, I love the sound of the series 60 but nothing will ever replace the soothing sound of the majestic 71 and 92s
Tommy Stearns I travel to NYC often for business. You can still hear them late at night. Most of the time, they are older generators, municipal vehicles or construction vehicles.
derrek rodriguez pure two stroke music
Tommy Stearns I grew up around Detroit diesels. My grandfather owned a small trucking company and a Diesel repair business. He owned a 1972 Brockway with a 12v71. My brother now owns the truck. Once in a while we take my 101 year old grandfather for a ride. He still loves the sound of the old lady singing. It brings a huge smile to his face.
Perfect the perfect parking job!!!
That reminds me of a night back in the 1980's I think 83, when I heard what I thought was a low flying plane, turned out to be a cab over GMC with a V12 and no mufflers, it was very loud, and fast. He past me in my cab over International like I was backing up. I asked him what engine was, other than obviously being a 2 stroke Detroit, he said it was a V12-71 I said that's kind of loud. He said. Yes it is. I took the mufflers off last week, when I get back home thier going back on! I could understand that.
Man, I was a little 9-year-old kid in San Diego in '83 and loved trucks but didn't really comprehend that there were actual real differences between them. I wonder how many 12V's rolled by me and I didn't ever think once about their engines or their sounds. I wish my light was turned on many years earlier.
@@espeescotty
By the time I was 11, I knew I was going to be a truck driver, I wound up starting to drive trucks when I was 21 and drove until I retired in January 2022. 44 years in the trucking industry. The oldest truck I ever drove was a GMC crackerbox cab over 1966, and the newest was an international LT 2018 . I enjoyed most all of them, except the older trucks were pretty cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The newer trucks were warm in the winter snow cool in the summer, so that made them more comfortable. Plus newer trucks had air ride cab, and suspension, that a smoothed out the ride a bunch too.
@@espeescotty
Trump NEVER encouraged anyone to break the law, he very specifically said, protest PEACEFULLY. He never told anyone to to kill anyone, unlike maxzine Walter's who told people to hound Republicans anywhere, and everywhere you see them. Or biden saying he wanted to take Trump behind a gym , like he thought he could beat Trump up. That I would have paid money to see that fight. Like I said just keep on supporting biden, and be proud of what he is doing to our country. Then when we turn into Venezuela, or Cuba, you can wonder what happened.
3:31 3:31
Normally I’m a kenworth / mopar guy but she’s a clean truck
And I've known some old timers to cut power steering belts so they could get more 'road feel'. I drove an old DM that had a coal box on it that had Ross steering with a double booster. The steering was like spinning a cue ball on a pool table but I got used to it...........eventually.
Boy this vidja has everything sounds like Futurama,an old guy backing up, an old guy almost running over a very expensive paint job,and the biggest shiniest oil tanks ever,does he travel with extree Velo diapers too?
Cabover semi trucks are uncommon nowa days.
Kevin Richards not in UK that’s all we get 😂
@@bennycovelly960 But those are scania's, another type and world of trucks
They look nice and cool but aerodynamics was a major issue. Also, they had bad fuel economy compared to conventional trucks.
Beautiful truck😃
I hope one day the cab overs will make a return I hear fords been messing around with some donno if they are for the US market though
I’d kill to own a decent shape cabover... my grandpa drive one for 40 years
Love them flat nose cabovers !¡!¡!¡
Please bring back cabovers...
Jaime
If you had drive one of those every day I can assure you, it gets old fast I put over
5 million miles on cabovers they beat you every mile.
@@bertgrau9246 It's only because they are so rare that drivers get excited. When I bought my truck, I thought "back in the day, which would I have preferred, a cabover or a long hood W9?" W900L it was!
@@struedel25
Yes Sir! I can understand your choice
Why? Yes they look cool but when aerodynamics is a major factor in fuel economy and fuel economy is a major factor in making a profit very few businesses are going to run a truck that costs several thousand dollars more a year just to look cool. Same with a conventional classic truck that gets 1 mpg less than a modern design. w900's and 379's will be as rare as cabovers in the years to come sadly to say.
@@tylerbonser7686
Not only that who is going to drive it? Those are the worst riding things since the wooden wheel wagons
Man she sounds good
DAMN NICE OL SHAKER
that's me having coffee at3 am!
Cabover truck drivers are always first on the scene of the accident...
Beautiful.
Music sweet melody music!!!😎👍😍🇺🇸
Sounds like a single 6-71( inline) non turbo.
Nice cabover 👍
Before I get hate, I love these engines, they’re awesome. BUT... why so many cylinders? When you multiply 12 X 71 it’s less displacement than a Cummins ISX (6 cyl) why make a 12 cylinder engine? Just about all industrial diesels today are 6 cyl...even back then, the other companies made 6 cyl, DD was the only one making 8, 12 for highway tractors
Yeahh baby!!!
Man if that thing just had white letter tires
Sweet
Yeah buddy.
NICE!!
San Bernardino California
Redlands California
Terminator 2 anyone?
The wrecker right?
Yup
I need it
Manual steering I bet
Ese camión es el de paco channel el kenworth
Cool
Thats what trucks are supposed to look like "FUNCTIONAL" Not with bumbers on the freaking ground and fiberglass all over the rear.. Real trucks is what real men drive!!
Too bad they don't make cabovers anymore.
Is it for sale??
About transformer color black truck
Robot
manual steering too.
