In service -- the 1976 Kenworth cabover of owner-operator Germann Soeth

Owner-operator Germann Soeth out of Frederick, Maryland, lately hauling dump trailers for direct customers and principally in a 1998 Kenworth W900, showed this vintage Kenworth cabover at That's a Big 10-4 on D.C. on the National Mall in Washington in October 2020. He'd then recently experienced a breakdown in his W9, and was very close to finishing the job of putting the 1976 unit into service hauling loads after its long retirement. Find out how he took the rig from scrap yard to working order over the course of a few years here.

I absolutely love seeing someone restore the old iron! Instead of letting it rot in a junkyard!

Remember to use both handrails.
Climb it like a ladder then swing.
The still photo in this video prompted me to speak up.

Getting part's to fix these truck is a challenge,because
they don't make part's for
cabover's,scrape yard's might
be able too help!

Plan to sell it when you finish restoration?

[@kenverrill4205]

I commend you... these crates will make you a lonely lonely man. but only you see what you see and nobody else is gifted enough to see. there is indeed a reason why these 18 wheel bimbos are labeled "the OTHER woman". Godspeed my trucking brother and prayers your itches will be scratched...
