    Don't swap the engines. The white collar runs and drives great plus is all original.

    That old Kenworth seems pretty solid! It deserves to see the road again!

  • @darrenboone4147
    @darrenboone4147 2 года назад +134

    You should totally fix that 84 kw up and sell it or just sell it to someone who will fix it up and use it cuz dam that’s a solid ol girl

    The cabover is one of a few of the best-looking trucks on RUclips. I say if it's not broke don't fix it. Leave it as is all low milage and original. Cabover would be nice with dual stacks though :-)

    • @peterjames2004
      @peterjames2004 2 года назад +4

      tend to agree with you on that

    • @ricochetey
      @ricochetey 2 года назад +4

      Put a 13speed in it and a stacks other than that leave it alone

    • @kennolte5801
      @kennolte5801 2 года назад +20

      As a long time driver who drove trucks like that and older back in the day, quit screwing around with it. Every truck doesn't have to have dragging front bumper, 18 speed transmission and aluminumwheels. Appreciate the White for the truck it is and use it the way it is. It'll give you a better appreciation for the drivers that came before you.

      @mikestobbe4274 2 года назад +2

      There is nothing cool about that cabover they sucked when they were new and they still suck just because it’s old doesn’t make it cool!

  • @richieh6840
    @richieh6840 2 года назад +118

    I do think the white should be left alone, it’s a great truck the way it is, and it’s not as if it’ll be doing any long hauls with that day cab, the w900 with a wash and clean out, some tires that hold air and maybe some new air lines and a bag or 2 could make a nice bit of pocket change

  • @parkerbethke
    @parkerbethke 2 года назад +54

    Leave the cabover for another time! Keep that w9 with its 3406 and make a crazy cool build!

  • @donaldwilliams6821
    @donaldwilliams6821 2 года назад +50

    Like a lot of others here I hope you keep the white cabover stock. Maybe add A/C and 13 speed. The W900 would be a good project truck. Definitely get that trialer. White cabover and that trailer would be great for more lock deliveries and pickups.

  • @plumbingstuffinoregon2471
    @plumbingstuffinoregon2471 2 года назад +42

    Why would white collar need a different engine? Thing's pretty perfect!

  • @redneckdad0405
    @redneckdad0405 2 года назад +24

    I would love to see the cabover stay just original and get the old kw going. Keep it and use it for the work truck. Keep the Pete for show.

  • @a456987
    @a456987 2 года назад +68

    I'd vote for keeping the original engine in White Collar and putting the 13 speed transmission behind it

  • @robertsimpson772
    @robertsimpson772 2 года назад +22

    I think you should leave white collar the way it is. There's not many all original low mileage day cab cabovers around.

  • @jefferymcintosh114
    @jefferymcintosh114 2 года назад +22

    Keep the WHITE how it's Bruce,and get that blue cat up and running and just store it,in 5 yrs,it may be worth 25 grand in parts

  • @GTFF
    @GTFF 2 года назад +31

    If you buy the trailer put a high idle switch for tr cabover to help te hydraulics run faster and even use it for local deliveries

    White collar is a fine rig like it is. Fix up the 84 K-dubb. Those make the best videos. That’s your roots. Nice find Bruce!👍

  • @kennethallsworth1351
    @kennethallsworth1351 2 года назад +6

    That blue kenworth is a nice classic truck, I’d love to have something like that. The old red one where you bought the blue one was nice also.I’d leave white collar like it is and put a little money into the blue kenworth and sell it, it should sell pretty good and easy.

  • @joemode101
    @joemode101 2 года назад +1

    The little white cab over does a great job can’t wait to see the blue W 900 start moving a nice job on starting it👍🏼

  • @Jerrylee84
    @Jerrylee84 2 года назад +7

    I would leave white color alone as it is maybe some tune on it take the cat put it in blue color and the wet pump off the w900 and put it on blue also and keep that trailer

  • @gavintierney8821
    @gavintierney8821 2 года назад +4

    I think the Kenworth up and going would be a great addition to the channel. I would leave the white alone though because that is a great running and driving truck as it is, especially being all original. that Kenworth would be really sweet to have up and going though for sure. clean it up and get it running and some new wheels and tires she will be golden! love the channel bruce

  • @BigBoss-ex5ey
    @BigBoss-ex5ey 2 года назад +7

  • @Jesse_Jessie_James
    @Jesse_Jessie_James 2 года назад +1

    That's a good KW to rebuild. Mines a 78 with a studio sleeper. It belonged to!y dad. We have the exact same trailer and it works excellent hauling heavy machinery. Thats good u got it started up. Allot of our drivers own old KW'S and one driver has one like the one in the video and he has owned it for a very very long time. He had a big heavy duty wrench on the back of it and he does heavy duty equipment loads all the time and he loves it.

    Edit: Finished the video, most definitely need to buy that trailer! 🤣

  • @MaxtronusPrime_
    @MaxtronusPrime_ 2 года назад +4

    The white collar definitely needs a 13 speed transmission and dual stacks. Other then that, the truck is completely outstanding in its own right as it is.

  • @braydenlawrence306

    That trailer is a brilliant match to white collar , you need to buy it

  • @1BlackSheep
    @1BlackSheep 2 года назад +1

    White Collar needs the big motor w/ a few mods (just a few)and little stretch then run it in a stock style pulling class and use it on the street for work. It would be a SICK pulling truck.

    Here everyone calls em landolls or hydra tail trailers depending on whether or not the tail lifts and drops or the axles slide forward and backwards to lift the bed. Love the cab over! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

  • @wheeln24-79

  • @schwingmann
    @schwingmann 2 года назад +7

    need to see that engine in White Collar fs, that KW body looks decent plus really good cab for being so old, i'm sure somebody out there would prefer to just get the roller to fix it up and not have to worry about a mechanical overhaul

  • @averyperkins6052

    You should fix that ol KW up and keep it! Thing is sweet!

  • @561inurface
    @561inurface 2 года назад +2

    Bruce when applying new grease to the 5th wheel you really should raise the trailer and back under it then lower it on to the greased 5th wheel. Otherwise it scrapes all the grease onto the tip on the trailer. 2:35 all that grease gone to waste on the tip instead of on the rotating area under of the trailer.
    that being said i think you should keep white collar stock and upgrade the trans/AC/brakes. its a good work horse.

  • @markgoddard3115
    @markgoddard3115 2 года назад +4

    Couldn't you just put a 425 pump and injectors in white collar and do the same thing?? And flip the W9? Check into it great will it start love it.

  • @bargeman100
    @bargeman100 2 года назад

    3406 was always my favorite truck engine. Back in the day we ran big cam 350 & 400's. The 3406 had so much more low end torque. Those Cummins were good engines but they're no match for the Cat.

  • @acadia603
    @acadia603 2 года назад +3

    Definitely KEEP the W900 as is get it road worthy…already has the wet kit so if you buy the landall you’ll have a sleeper as well. Interior looks good. #SaveTheW900

  • @daltonbrown3661

    Put some $$$ into the KW and sell it, that baby needs to be back on the road.

  • @jamespimental6919

    @GoodOlBoy1976 2 года назад +1

    I love KW but out of the two trucks I would keep white collar with that trailer. I no longer have a CDL but I would work the crap out of white collar around our area. I would just put not for hire on the door and get to work.

  • @brynsmith414
    @brynsmith414 2 года назад +1

    I’d leave the white truck alone, it’s stock and works.
    As for the KW, I’d be getting it running again, clean it up a little and move it on, makes good content and you will get good money for it.

  • @doug-fisher
    @doug-fisher 2 года назад +1

    I’d personally leave them both like they are. Last thing you need to do is start another project before getting Blue Collar done. I’m also not sure someone would pony up 10k for the truck like it sits or even 5k for a roller. Seems a bit high priced.

  • @johntilghman8607
    @johntilghman8607 2 года назад

    You could lot more out of the B model then that 3306 just depends how bad shape the KW is in you could make that 3406 really get down with a fuel pump and timing mods and bigger nozzles

  • @bobbarenthin7437

  • @kennethallsworth1351
