- In this episode I pull of the fifth wheel plate to see if the frame is going to be okay after sever rust jacking. K2 is a 1988 K100E Kenworth cabover that had a 444 Cummins and 18spd transmission. The truck has been sitting since the engie blew up and was removed over 20 years ago...

I’m 51 years old! Maybe, just maybe, if I live long enough, i will see Mike finish just one of these trucks 🤞🏼
I almost forgot, I had an old ironworker turn me on to a needle scaler when I was doing my frame and cross members on my old diamond t. It was amazingly how fast it did the job. Only need to use ear protection and good compressor.
Good job on starting k2 resto I'm sitting in my chair watching you removing turntable and frame ( that's what we call them in Australia) . Mike stick with the Cummins, might save heartburn changing wiring , airlines and pipes . Please be careful working on your own cheers to you Andrea and family Aussie Pete
You, James Pretty, Ol2 stroke, Chad Keegan, Twinstick, Gentry and Sons and others I'm sure I'm missing are doing a great service saving these old trucks. Awesome job you all and thanks again Mike for another great video.
Great video Mike K2 coming along nicely. Glad the frame is in better shape than what you thought. Looking forward to the next video stay safe Mike.
Peterbilt Mike has the best sigh on the internet, EHHHHHHHHHH 🤣
Hi Mike thanks for another great video keep up the good work really enjoy your work thanks Mike in UK
Thanks Mike for another great video I love k2 Mike thanks again
Hei Mike, That was a lot of work. Good work on starting resto on K2. Its going to be a big relief when that rust is a goon. Wish a lived closer a would volunteer to help. Keep it coming. Greetings from Trondheim, Norway
I have to commend Andrea for her support of you and you addiction. It's nice to see supportive partners. I'm also blessed as my misses after being converted to Landrovers, is very supportive of my addiction, to the point of feeding my habit 😅 🇬🇧
Mike for K2 I would stick with a big cam Cummins. It would be cheaper in the the long run. No need to make alterations to the frame etc., for a Cat., and that's what K2 came with. And as with Kenny, you are more familiar with working on that vintage Cummins. As for the rust jacking, well I'm affraid all your rigs are suffering from it to some extent. I'm sure when you take the deck off Stubby, it's not going to be pretty, with it sitting on the ground all those years. Same goes for Low&Slow when you replace the wood on the deck. You just need to be prepared for it. With all the salt used up there in the winter. The age of your rigs and the mixing of different metals. It's no wonder you're encountering all the rust. Take your time, with sand blasting the frames and I'm sure your rigs will come out fine. Keep up the great videos, we're all rooting for you. Later
Happy BIRTHDAY Cooper 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
Awesome video I believe Mike will have this truck up and running
My favourite truck or unit as we call them here in the uk in your collection, as a veteran trucker, (Class 1 UK lingo), of 30+ years i think you are all doing the right thing , saving cab overs of the past, thank you for your content.
Mike, hats off to you, the way you just got stuck into the chassis was incredible. Great to see K2 being given attention too. It's not everyday you go out thinking "I'll just dismantle my chassis today". I second the suggestion of the needle gun for descaling, noisy enough to scare the bears away but very effective. I'd stay with Cummins too, easier to fit considering what came out, no worries about crossmembers, mounts, pipework etc... Can't wait to see it come together. So good to see these beautiful old trucks being saved.
Wait... mystery truck??? I missed something apparently...lol. 3406B Power. Love these projects. Tks.
Mr you have your work cut out for but what great build it will be good luck will be watching 👍🇨🇦👋
Mike you are going to need a needler from princess auto to help you remove all the rust, also buy some sort of rust inhibitor by the gallon.😁 Slow and steady one part at a time.
Mike. Nice work pulling the fifth wheel off. Just did the same to my 76' K125, luckily only finding surface rust. Converting it to a straight tray truck, not as short as Kenny or Stubby though.
Hi Mike! It's great to see some progress on K2! I love this KW cab the most! I am glad that the frame can be saved, but it will take time and just do it slowly. As far as repowering the KW, I would stick with Cummins! Maybe a Cummins Big Cam 350 as those are really good engines. My father's 1974 KW has a Cummins Big Cam 350 and it's still on the road making money to this day. Been overhauled many times. Still has the original block, fuel pump, oil pump and crankshaft. Everything else has been replaced at least once and the engine has over 10 million miles on it! And yeah, my father drove hard....
