Personally, I think you should use the first cab-over as a work truck and COMPLETELY go through this one. Do a nice paint job, well rebuilt engine, and strip everything down. The new truck is already stretched, which is what you were thinking about doing to the white truck.

@stevemcloughlin3577 4 жыл бұрын

Absolutley the more practical and logical way forward. Make a already good truck better.

@THEButterKING25 4 жыл бұрын

But the stretched frame is better for work so in actuality he’s making the best decision to slowly build the short frame into a dream show truck that he will most likely paint and use this one in the mean time since stretching a frame and building a truck from the ground up takes time and he needs a truck for lots of his stuff like flat nasty

I'm still rooting for that International 9670! Hundreds of those International cabovers spent their retirement in Southern Africa carrying everything from cattle to mining equipment over vast distances. Their sight is still common today, and you will find many of your African and South American viewers have a soft spot for it.

Ex trucker here and im jelly. I love old freightliners and its a cab over at that, plus stretched with a detroit and a super 10.... man what a combo. Ive only drove super 10s a few times and itll take a little getting used to but once you get it down, youll love it. A lot less shifting than a standard 10. When you go up a gear with the button just flip the switch while youre still on the throttle, give it a little extra throttle, then let of the fuel and itll bump right in every time. I like the fairings as well.

You have a stretched chassis be different do what we do here in Australia throw a third diffunder it and make it a tri drive would look great can put on heaps more weight for cartage..

Jeff 1969 would definitely look great but the United States carries a bridge law so regardless the amount of axels, legally depending on the state the most the truck could gross is 80-85k so other than the fuller look on the frame a Tri drive axel would be pointless but I’m not apposed to the idea a bit 🤙🏻

The purpose of a super 10 is to cut down on the need for clutching. Basically, you double clutch every time you move the stick. When you flip the lever, all you do is back off the throttle to let the RPM's drop, then ease back on the throttle and the shift happens internally with no clutch action needed. They're great for city / delivery driving. The big problem with them is that a super 10 can be more mechanically fragile than a straight 9 or 10, so driver abuse can grenade them much faster.

Wow I grew up in one of those... My dad drove the piss out of his..... He would do burn outs, and pull the mountains 55 mph no worries.... He always joked it was slow up the mountain but it was the fastest down hill truck you've ever seen..... He affectionately called his truck the "kidney buster" and he was right.... edit: After watching this his one was older maybe late 70's to early 80's model... His had the the long metallic flaked switches and steering wheel.... The inside was way to new compared to his..... Also thanks for the memories that came flooding back. It was nice to remember things I had almost forgot about....
