    That SLEEPER makes the truck look sweet. Can't wait till you get the HOOD. That truck will be an eye turner. Looks awesome with the hood on it. One Question, how come the truck doesn't have chrome stacks on it? I drive a Freightliner Coranado with a 550 Detroit 18 speed. I have always wanted an older Cabover. You have some beautiful trucks. I was a DIESEL Mechanic in the military for 31 years. I was a 64 Charlie, that was my mos! Watching you and 012 STROKER I have Learn'd a lot. Which I truly appreciate. Thanks for taking us along!!

    Hey this is turning into beautiful Build off. Man this thing is better than a W900 KW. You are going to sure have a head turner from side to side once that you continue to keep adding to this truck. It is becoming a master piece of a truck. I've always considered you as a person that thinks out of the box. I'm ole school ( Ret ) Trucker that never understood the long wheelbase on a truck. But this is a plan well thought up. That Marmon is one gorgeous creation. James you have great channel and it's truly among one of the best. You never half azz worked on trucks ........ You make extra sure that things are to perfection. Stay safe '''' Bossman '' Two Thumbs Up.

    Black betty is lookin good James. I'm new to your channel. I guess a lil over a week now If I remember right and dam just seeing all the trucks you and the Nova that's up on the lift you have is very impressive. Gotta love the older trucks and vehicles. I grew up around tractor trailers and drove over the road for almost 3 years after I got out of the Navy. My 1st over the road tractor was an 81 K100 with a big cam Cummins and 13 speed. Love the old cab overs and any old school trucks. Black Betty reminds me of a guy that lived about 30 minutes from my house growing up who had one just like her and had another Marmon with a dump body on it as well and he worked both of them. Talking with him taught me a bunch about them and they are what he called the cadillac of the semi trucks. Because of being hand made. If I remember right the one like Betty had a KTA Cummins( I think I got that right) in it and that thing would run to. Can't wait to see Black Betty to the point of running down the road.

    Hi James just think you get to do that boot one more time! Wonder if maybe one of those custom sleeper outfits would have a wider boot? That looks to be stretched too tight. Would suck if that got too much of a twist in it going down the road. I’m sure you’ll figure out a way to prevent that. Looking great! Stay safe
