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!!
Damn that wheelbase looks Bad Ass with the hood & sleeper back on Betty !! She's coming together & gonna be a Sharp When you're done putting the Pretty touch on her!!
looking good James lots of big improvements to make it look closer to being ready to show sucks about the boot being too narrow but like you always say it ain't easy being Pretty
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. Bonecrusher.
Hello driver, mechanic, pilot or should i say jack of all trades! Truck looking really good 👍 gotta hand it to ya. Never drove a truck with single tires, dont know how it rides ...maybe 1 day. Really love your channel, watch as i am waiting to load and unload. Really appreciate your hard work pal...10-4 im gone
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.
Man, that's one beautiful piece of machinery...Betty sure is coming together nicely. You're doing an amazing job, James and Jessica love that Look!!!! Thanks for sharing see you on the next video. Can't wait!!!!!
@JamesPretty i really like that big whole conversation it looks much better. I know it wasn't easy, but since when is it easy being pretty, it ain't... have good one man catch ya on the next one stay safe an take care brother.
@JamesPretty “Black Betty” is looking 👀 pretty amazing, James. 👍 Can just imagine how many man hours you’ve got in that ole girl? From engine to frame to cab/sleeoer/hood (body). Looking 👀 very sharp & the big hole conversion is the nicest part. I know Jessica is smiling & very proud of you! Keep up the great work, my friend. See ya on the next video.
Love this truck! Please bring it to MATS. That might be a stretch though but a guy can hope! Also I noticed you got 197k views on the will it start for the Pete cabover, that’s awesome man! Congratulations!
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
James, u are doing it good the way u had put the sleeper on the truck frame.. a long time to get there, butt u are doing a great job getting Black Betty road ready.
Great video James glad to see Betty's going back together nicely. Looking great with the sleeper and the hood back on. Looking forward to your next video stay safe James and Jessica.
All I can say is wow ! Man what a job , sleeper and hood ! She is amazing! What is the purpose of super singles , there wear two fatal accidents up here and apparently the loss on control was due to hydroplaning of rear tires ?
Man that truck looks so sharp with the sleeper on it you are doing a real good job brother. Keep up the hard work I would hated to be that dude on top of the sleeper safe travel on the airplane, captain
Good work brother Betty looks like a proper truck again can't wait to see the hood back on and everything done and going down the road again keep making videos and I'll keep watching keep on trucking and flying my friend
Hey James the truck (Black Betty) is coming out really good. The super singles make the wheelbase look longer. imo I do like the Nova I have 86 Caprice 2 dr same color it's been sitting 12 yrs needs work. I want to order some stickers but Iam waiting on the tow truck stickers when you get them in. Iam the same age as you and don't know how you do it. lol Truck looks great!
Lookin good driver/ Mechanic/Painter/Tire guy/Parts man/Pilot/??? / ? . I'm sure you will put on a Big Buffalo Bumper on the Marmon I don't believe replacement Hoods + Parts are available ? Lookin Pretty LOL , Best Wishes ☮🍁
@@JamesPretty that 86 i have sent you pictures of its getting the unimount treatment where the cab and sleeper are bolted to each other with a bracket of some kind, have yet to see it. owner is up the body shop, i have the chassis about ready.
I’m not sure half the time I think it’s perfect other times it sags to the passenger side after it’s back to roadworthy it’s going to an alignment shop and having a 6 wheel done

Thx Larry
It's nice to have friends with a crane that can pick stuff up... One more piece of the puzzle. Hope you get that boot to work.
Yes it is nice I’m not sure what we Will do with the boot. Likely move the sleeper forward. Won’t be easy
looking good James lots of big improvements to make it look closer to being ready to show sucks about the boot being too narrow but like you always say it ain't easy being Pretty

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
Ya I’m going to look into it. I might move the sleeper mounts forward an inch
James, u are doing it good the way u had put the sleeper on the truck frame.. a long time to get there, butt u are doing a great job getting Black Betty road ready.
Thx Billy

Good afternoon James Betty is looking good putting the hood and sleeper back on really really transformed it
Yes I agree now to make the step boxes and front frame nice
All I can say is wow ! Man what a job , sleeper and hood ! She is amazing! What is the purpose of super singles , there wear two fatal accidents up here and apparently the loss on control was due to hydroplaning of rear tires ?
Wide base singles have been controversial but they look good and I’m a big tire guy. We’ll see how I like them
Man that truck looks so sharp with the sleeper on it you are doing a real good job brother. Keep up the hard work I would hated to be that dude on top of the sleeper safe travel on the airplane, captain

'Kin A What! Proper crackin on now.
Hi James when get hood back will it be painted Working on blk Betty always great and enjoyable video happy new year to you and Jessica. Tim
Thx brother did you wait till the very end? The hood is on in the pictures at the end. It’s only in sealer not paint yet
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Super 👌 👍 travail ⚒️ 🚛. Respect 😉 👌 🇺🇸 🇫🇷
Thx brother
@@JamesPretty 😉 👍 🚛 🚛
Looking awesome. I have to ask. What's up with the nova ?
That’s Jessica’s hot rod.
That maroon interior in the sleeper looks better than the grey in the old sleeper to me, Are you going maroon?
We aren’t 100% sure it may be something completely different
move the sleeper mount brackets closer to the cab
Might have to. It’s gonna be a ton of work
@@JamesPretty that 86 i have sent you pictures of its getting the unimount treatment where the cab and sleeper are bolted to each other with a bracket of some kind, have yet to see it. owner is up the body shop, i have the chassis about ready.
@ nice
Was it the camera angle or some wear on the drivers rear tire? Looks angled down. Betty is looking great tho James.
I’m not sure half the time I think it’s perfect other times it sags to the passenger side after it’s back to roadworthy it’s going to an alignment shop and having a 6 wheel done
That's when u have ur kids read the fine print for u
Get up be for the birds
Some times you gotta
I know she's still a work in progress but damn betty sounding like christine after Artie brought her home.
Hahaha ya half the exhaust being open and retarded pump timing
Are you going to put the other stack back on
Getting new stacks soon
