    Back in my early days, cabovers were 90% of what trucks that were on the road. I drove so many different brands of cabover, I've lost count. I still like 'em to this day.......

    The ATHS(American Historical Truck Society)would appreciate the fact that you are rescuing these old cabovers,and putting them to work;using them to haul loads with,which is what they were designed for.
    Plus they don't build cabovers here in North America anymore,so they have become a rarity out on the roads;and they sure do catch people's attention especially now that these old trucks have attained vintage status.

    • @Calebmcguckin
      @Calebmcguckin 3 года назад

      I’m not a huge fan of guys using box tubing for running duel exhaust. It breaks up the flow for the exhaust and sound is not as good as 5in pipe. But that’s just my opinion. But it’s definitely a cool rig

Overall I drove for 35 years but now retired ( back injury ) but you don’t see to many cabovers on the road anymore and the new tractors I guess are automatic ! DANG ! Today’s drivers ( not all ) are steering wheel holders ! I watched a guy take 15 minutes to back up into a dock ! My grandpa told me anyone can drive down the road but it takes a trucker to back it up ! Shiny side up , rubber side down !

With the length of the bed, it could have been one of the Missile guidance section tractors. The generator behind the cab ran all the electronics and hoists in the trailer if site power had problems and ran the environmental systems enroute to the silos. Thanks. If I had my choice, I would drive a cab over everyday instead of a car. Better views! Let me know when it's done, I would like to see it. MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.
