Steve seems like a cool dude..and Tim he could be your brother with that beard..lol I'm glad that you hired your buddy...I love thoes jakes
Nirus go post that garbage somewhere else!
Steve is a cool dude I love his truck I’d subscribe to his channel I’d love to see what he doing and does to his cab over
So you buy a piece of equipment from a FRIEND.. you use it to clear your property then sell it for a profit and make money off it.. basically you said your friend gives you a sweet deal on it and you make money off your fri ed nd..
Good work outta you Tim. Now this is the type of YT channel we need more of. Just down home country boys getting at it !
Watching that video brought back lots of memories of us back in the 90s hauling coal out of West Virginia in w900 Kenworth with a 38 ft frameless dump trailer air ride we went up mountains that you wouldn't hardly take a four-wheel drive truck up curves that you had to back up in but we loved it and done it every day chain up at the bottom in the snow and ice and go up it and have a dozer tied to you to come back off
I love them Cabovers!! I would love to have one sitting in my drive way. I'd subscribed to his channel
I would definitely subscribe to Steve's channel once he sets it up.
Like you've said before Tim; it's just a big old learning experience for everyone who hasn't done wide and oversized loads ever before when your just starting in the trucking world.
Steve seams like a good dude! Great purchase on the new investment keep up the good work, also if Steve did a channel would follow as love off grid stuff as well
SURE WOULD!!!!! I HEAR HE HAD A GOOD TEACHER!!!!!!!!
I miss doing this kind of trucking! Always something interesting to haul, and customers always came running up to you with a smile on their faces. Fast forward to now, hauling reefer loads......well, I'm just another damn truck on someone's property. 😟
Went from pulling rgn and traveling axles to a conestoga and I feel the same
That's amazing that you help your driver's become owner/operators. First class guy.
I GUESS TIM WILL PASS, HUH????????👍👍👍👍👍. JUST NEED A FEW MORE!!!!
Looks like a beautiful area. God's country. Love what you're doing Tim.
Hwy 411 is a beautiful drive.
This is why I believe someone should make cabovers again…for mountains caves down town city driving. It would be a huge help cause some dispatchers think a semi with a 53ft trailer can go where box trucks barely fit lol
In Europe, the trucks are pretty much exclusively cab overs.
@@philgrimsey3637 yeah and up here in northern europe 114.8ft long without any special permits needed. Wouldn't have taken long b-train on that road willingly though haha
Volvo offered the European style FH XXL to the US market and they refused it due to not believing it would sell haha. Have a look online, the cab space is huge for a cab over and here in the UK we have 750/770hp trucks from factory everywhere offered by Scania and Volvo that will return 11mpg all day.
I am very proud of Steve. He took 2 PCs of junk trucks and built this in honor of his dad. He was a trucker most of his life. I am his mom.
Heaps of k200’s here in aus. Wish we had the big cab conventional here but our stupid length laws don’t work.
It amazes me how people can manage to smash panels and counterweights on a zero tail swing excavator.
It's easy when they're backing up and not paying attention where they're going.😆
Once there is a thumb on it all panels are open for damage. its no longer a machine for just moving dirt.
@@guyod1 I kinda agree we own are own excavating company its just 2 of us now but when we had several employees they would smash panels with no grapple just not paying attention or trying to grab trees with out using a chain. You could almost bet once a summer the windshield was being replaced lol. Our 312 has a thumb and it's the cats ass but she's a older machine I believe a 1996 so we aren't to worried about scratches but the new 313f id murder someone lol
@@rayhendricks7379 they would smash panels because they didn't have to pay for it
All I can say is that, there ain’t no steerin wheel holder could ever pull off that kinda drivin…. Period
Love your attitude and disposition it makes me feel that there is a chance for this crazy world to right itself. I hope Brxton sticks with you he has a great dad.
DITTO TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys great team work and Tim awesome driving there especially in those tight turns and I loved the go pro in the back and great sounds
My dad always told me, son those aren’t mountains, Colorado has mountains!😆
Has the pleasure of driving a cab over like that, scariest 140 mile round trip ever! It was a local farmer's truck, ran and shifted like a dream, steering not so much. The farmer came and took it away saying it was not safe(a wee bit late!) Definitely an experience that put some hair on my chest. Good times!
What are you suggesting Tim?? That the guy swaps out his RTO transmission for an RTLO?? Thats what you mostly got with the older cummins, typically a series RTO. It wont split through neutral because its not a low inertia, the synchros can only handle the split in a gear. The RTLO, the L means low inertia, it will split/synchro through neutral.
I think it's funny how big of a thrill you guys get out of driving a cabover truck i would be willing to bet if you had to drive one all the time like i did when i started driving you wouldn't be so happy about it and one front tire blow out if you made it through it and you wouldn't want to drive one ever again.
It is amazing how they claim to love driving a cabover. I'd bet 60 percent never been in one. The hoods are better any day of the week.
I get entertained by how enthusiastic Tim is behind the wheel having fun doing what he does
The driving down and up the mountain on go pro was poetry in motion.
I love that you're teaching your son to operate all kinds of equipment. My grandfather taught me at his age. He will be very well rounded with talent.
Hello .. just wanted to say thankyou. I found your channel by mistake while laying in this damn hospital bed. You actually helped sidetrack my thoughts from this crazy situation I find myself in to something more enjoyable..Thanks bud , you made this banged up Canadian happy for a few hours.Takecare and I will be looking forward to watching your activities from day to day on trucking ,building whatever you do on this channel.
hope your doin better, god bless this 2023
Awesome Trucking Tim. Love this video and love seeing these old trucks on the road working. Reminds me of the old GMC conventional single axle we had for hauling machinery. We called it “The Horse”. Loved that truck.
That’s what we all used to do, make work fun. What a fantastic place to live. Fingers crossed you didn’t meet another truck in the opposite direction. Loved the video Tim.
Great video! You definitely need to make more videos like this one! Driving across dangerous roads and getting out of them! You rule!
$2.90 a gallon for fuel, I'm from Cornwall UK and its costing us £6.40‐£7.20 a gallon
17 mins onwards, the road you thought was sketchy , that's the size of our nail roads in Cornwall uk
Some excellent downhill truck driving; slow & safe.
The only thing I can add is, after loading the excavator on the trailer, I would have checked the adjustment of each of the 10 brakes, and done a brake check.
Wow the gmc 1977 Cabover came down the mountain with the exvator with nice jake brakes sounding loud great Cumming motor great to have a old school Cabover tractor still around the farm in bussiness 🚛👈👈
That’s an awesome video, love the cab over and they still earn there keep to get in tight spots and it’s sounds awesome too, I liked the trailer view and jakes down the hills and he should definitely start a Chanel and see more of the GMC 💪 definitely keep the JD excavator there will times to make money with it and move stuff with it 😊
Great trip driver. Your help is first class too. Thanks for the ride. Very impressive.
That Astro with a Cummins in is a rare bird I would say 99% of those had Detroits in them because GM owns Detroit.
Yep usually a 6-71 6v71 or 8v71
There's an 1981 gmc astro near me for 4500 with a 9spd and 8v71, i really need to call the guy up and look at it... supposeably a bad rear axle. What app do you use for the speedo?
Probably get a hold of dirt perfect when you get finished with it. He may buy it.
I follow two too many people on the Tube so why not one more & the trucking is interesting to me, Camper that DirtyMax, between Cleatus & FSC Trucking, put your money where you mouth is / is what I always heard growing up
Used to haul hay off of farms to road jobs such as I 79 WV and coal mines with my dad in the 60’s clear up to 1980’s. I wish i could do it all again! Thank you! Thank you for sharing! Makes me very happy to see COE’s and those boys driving and learning as I did!
Hay just a Lil bit of info look at the drive cogs if there come up to a point like sharp then the drive cogs or wore out . And check the play in the boom where the bucket hooks up move the control side to side if the pin and bushing are wore out the bucket will move alot the other is just looks and not hard to fix. It sounds like the pin and bushings are wore out in the bucket and they will probably need to be replaced and just look at the drive cogs and under carage if the pins that hold the track to gather are wore you can feel or look up inside the tracks. If you see and shiny places on the pins in the tracks then undercarriage is probably wore out and that's probably 10,000 to 15,000 fix not a cheap or easy fix. Hate to sound like a mister negative just don't won't to see nobody get took advantage of
This is an awesome video. That go pro footage👌 Tim had the ol girl talking to us, nice driving!! I'd definitely subscribe to Steve's channel to see more of this truck build.
Traders should avoid attempting to predict trend reversals, or even worse, I believe there is more to this market than we currently understand. When people are losing, they don't endeavor to increase their average. Using expert Clinton Ray's assistance, I've made almost 9.5 btc on a 2 btc Trade capital over the last 8 months. Things could get worse, so make the wise decision. Markets fluctuate in cycles that might span anywhere from a few days to several years. In the case of B -TC, it's difficult to make a bullish case merely by glancing at the chart. It's a lot more complicated than some people want you to believe.

Steve’s good people you can tell by how he carried himself and how Tim n him conversate…. They seem like they been friends from day one… u know those type of people that u meet… both tim and Steve seem like that to me. I am that way. There’s not a face I won’t make smile and a tear I won’t catch, that is why I like gentry n sons..
Hell ya man can’t wait to see the adventure best of wishes for you and your family hope y’all have a great year brother!
You had lots of room on the cornors , going up and coming back, its the same road so its up to the driver, we don't know , why all the drama.The road didn't get any nearoer and the load didn't get any wider, wow, you gut to do some more driving.with loads on. that was to funny.
That was like watching a driving simulator looking through windshield!
Man as usual I love your videos the road was kind of small that I see you made it through with the truck it's always good to have friends like the ones you have especially when you can count on them I'm from down here in Alabama we love your videos and and give Braxton a high-five for me as usual keep giving out them good videos Man
I don't live far from where he picked up the army truck iv been all over that place with a 46 foot flat deck pulling paving equipment for my job
Another rusted out piece of junk truck that doesn't belong on the roads.
Ummmmmm no rust except bottom of doors … aluminum cab and most of the frame is off a freight liner Cascadia
@@stephengasper3027 Look again a bit closer Still a rusted out piece of junk
The larger machines go for less money here. The machines in the 10-to-12-thousand-pound class are more expensive.
Only two pieces of advice. First of all when I did heavy haul I always turned around while I was empty. It’s easier on the truck trailer in if need be you can see across the trailer to the other side. Second piece of advice I would give you is learn to side load and unload. Jackson and Jimmy almost did it with the ripsaw but you need to be perfectly Street coming off And on the trailer. Then he’s been around what you’re up on top of the deck.
Sideloading might be convenient and save time but it’s not the way you should especially when you got ramps you can go up on, and over time you’re replacing your deck wood more often, and most importantly it puts unwanted strain on the trailer. Might work 99 times but that 100th time you could be up a creek without a paddle
Sideloading on these trailers is not the greatest idea as you tear up the trailer crack welds tear up the deck mess up suspension components etc but highly agree on getting whipped around empty.
that old cab over seems like a pretty decent tight truck and looks like it rides good and the engine and transmission sound great Plus it seems like it shifts really smooth
Now that was a fun drive to watch.
From just looking at the drive cogs as you was loading it they look like knives so there probably wore out and unless he said something to you ab that stuff then he sold you a pig in a poke
Proud of you Tim keep it up.🏁🤘🏻
To quote EZRider359 “I’m about to some sketchy sh!t do daw do daw!!”
I used to haul coal with a tractor trailer on roads just like that Tim. Used to pack 150-170000 gross. It was pretty sketchy at first but you get used to after awhile.
My Family did that for over 50 years... some of the roads those trucks ran loaded down are crazy.
@@andrewmcpheron675 Some of these type roads really shouldn't have been used for these coal and log hauls, but you do what you gotta do.
@@andrewmcpheron675roads? I you wanna call them roads.😂
I'm inlove with the sound of the jakes. And the roads........hot 🔥 dam
Let's see what he can do sounds like some good content
I would subscribe to steve. I am ready to take this place in training.
Let’s see what Steve’s got!
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
A Detroit singing would have been better but it is what it is
I don't think I've ever felt so exhausted after watching a video. Love watching you push the limits.
You are one crazy son of a gun but I love the channel and you have a wonderful family
Awesome video Tim and you are not crazy just hard-core old school trucking that many drivers now just don't have the balls for even if they have the skills. You keep doing you and this world will be a better place for it brother. God bless and keep you and yours safe 🙏 ❤.
I think Steve does need to start a TH-cam channel. I'd subcribe.
My dad used to drive one of those cabovers. 318 Detroit. Pulled gasoline tanker. Love the older trucks. That old truck still doing a great job!
My dad dot also he actually was a driver instructor when I was a child in those old GMC astros that’s why I’m restoring it it’s a tribute truck
@@stephengasper3027 Nice!
Please never cave to reality TV. You’ve got the personality and attitude to do your own thing. Love the videos the way you do them!!
Beatiful GMC ASTRO original 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Fire up a new channel I will support him👍👍👍
I haven't drove a G.M.C cabover since 1985.....
That truck has plenty of power, love hearing it roar on the go pro!
32:09 Why not have the whole rig facing the other way before you load it?
Sure wish I could speak with you Tim
I have my CDL license and would love to work for you
Shorten up your videos. They’ll get more views
I would subscribe to Steve and follow him.
That truck sounds amazing could listen to it all way. No idea what a “cab over” till I was reading the comments it just a normal truck for us in the UK. Can somebody answer why your trucks are so long with a huge distance between the front of the trailer and the back of cab. In Europe the trailer comes within a few feet of the cab. Much more manoverable on small roads.
I won't be had the cabovers back in California
Tim! With you saying you got a deal on it, I would think that if u paid around 30,000 or less you pretty much stole that machine lol it’s in very good condition for what it is lol that’s so awesome 😎 good for you man! Can wait to see this awesome shop come together man keep up the awesome path that your on brother!
Tell Steve to make a channel I’ll subscribe that cab over is sweet. Steve said it’s a Kimber…. Yep I’ll subscribe 😂😂
That was One perfect video my friend that GMC pull Real good you are one fantastic truck driver real good job getting out of the mountains that looks like a good good excavator be safe my friend
There's a tree in that culvert I'd grab for the bon fire
The best father, son and buddy road trip vid.
If you think you can do it .don't look back do it .
U come through Holladay with that new toy stop on by
Tell Steve to Do it. To Make a TH-cam Channel
I will be glad to subscribe to Steve's channel when y'all get one up and running. Keep doing all that you and your wonderful family does Tim
Tim, if the price is right, hold on to it. Guarantee you will sell it and then 2 weeks later, you’ll be kicking your own ass because you’ll need it. You can lift with it, move stuff around and excavate if needed!
i just bought a lowboy. been working on an old autocar to haul some antique equipment around
Both trucks sound good starting up but the gmc sounds juuust a bit better...like that little puff of smoke too
what go's up a mountain must come down.
I would definitely watch Steve. Love to see some more videos on your Astro
i’d follow steve 👍 i like his OCD 😁
Good evening great job boys, I
If that trailer does not have an overlift, you may wanna strongly consider adding it to that trailer and tractor you'll mainly pull that trailer with. Drove stinger style car carrier for 15 years, having the overlift saved my butt many a time in those occasional tricky situations. Height wise off the ground, was only a few inches different vs the rgn, but close enough where having the overlift still was worth every penny...good luck Tim.
That truck Deserves some love. Seems like it drives good
Counter weight is a little dinged up 🤣 😂. Love the GMC cab over. I’ve got a GMC long wheel base with an 8.1. Call her the Georgia milk cow 😂. Good lookin excavator though, not to big and not to small. Nice fresh coat of paint on that cab over, look like a brand new truck.
I like the new camera shots!
This is an awesome video!! Thanks for sharing.
135's both Deere and Hitachi still come with blades on them
Man, you had me trying to steer, and brake, from my computer. lol Fine bit of driving.
That GoPro view was sick!! Would love to see that Astro 95 completely restored.
Tim, I don't even drive a truck and my pooper was puckerin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You drove that thing like a ROCKSTAR buddy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
