Not everyday do you run into a brotha who digs old trucks.. Thumbs up!
I totally agree.My dad had one.R.I.P...
who cares what they 'dig' ...just stay out of my yard...... sheesh.
Not everyday that you hear a Detroit, and someone that knows how to shift it
Yeah. I bet his father was a old house mover when he was driving old cabovers like my former neighbor.
All truckers should be like this guy.
Kenworth ,peterbilt, whatever.old school freightliner cabover baby
Chris C all 4 wheelers should! Truckers ain’t doing too bad yet. A car cuts me off several times an hour! The system is broken.
Yessir!
I have a soft spot in my heart for cab overs. And Detroit Deisel is buttercream icing on the cake.
10/4. My first truck was cabover KW with a 8V71 Detroit and a 13 speed
Checkout my cabover project im starting on my channel
that Freightliner sounds gorgeous!
Whenever I hear that sound it reminds me of the Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive. That truck had a unique sound for sure!
same engine ;D Good ol' 8 cylinder detroit diesel :D (92 or 71)
He must have this Detroit tuned just right. Not once, did I see any smoke from the pipes. Beautiful old school working truck!
That means it ain't running good driver! You wanna see smoke flying as you take that triple digit truck down the hammer lane!
16:29
Rasta Goobers 10 four good buddy this is Rusty Nail, haven a little trouble with these teenagers out here at mile marker 110, nothing I can’t handle, I got one of the strapped to my stacks right now good buddy!
Aaron Cone he’s not pulling a trailer 😀 or he forgot it !
I appreciate seeing those old cabovers going up and down the highway cuz it reminds me of my dad he was a truck driver for 37 years and he love to love those old cabovers so much I remember his old a 1972 Freightliner
Thanks for another great video. We old timers do like seeing the trucks our fathers and uncles rode us around in. Love it. 100 thumbs up, if they would let me.
Thanks man! I appreciate you commenting here!
and some of the young ones too....thanks to BJ McKay
bigbluepete yes sir...BJ McKay and his best friend bear lol....just listen to that DetroitDiesel !!! ..YesSir keep the videos coming

I began on Cab Overs back in 1975. We were pulling 40ft trlrs and 96" wide. I loved it. I'm retired now.
cabovers aren't really my cup of tea but the love has for his truck plus cabover being unique makes it that much special. i love this truck
This guy inspires me to build a cabover and hit the road....love hesrong those Detroit's scream.
that Detroit sounds real purdy
As a kid growing up in the seventies, who went on long road trips in my parents 75 Chevy Caprice station wagon, I loved watching all the big rigs, and stopping at cafes for meals, and listening to the truckers sitting around the bar area telling their tales of the road.
My favorite trucks were the Freightliner COEs, along with Kenworth conventionals, and the Kenworth COE Aerodyne. You can thank the movie Smokey and the Bandit, along with the TV shows Movin On, and B.J. & The Bear for the Kenworth fetish. Of these classic rigs, I noticed more Freightliners than the other makes. It was like for every Kenworth, Peterbilt, and International I saw, there were two or three Freightliner COEs. I could be wrong, since I was just a little kid at the time, and those memories are unfortunately fading with age.
Wish the human brain came with a CD drive, and we had CDs back then, so I could pop a CD in my head, download all those fond memories and images, and see them now in full detail.
I just saw this truck yesterday 10/6/16 in Redding CA !!!! So awesome!!!!
Kevin was with his partner in crime who was running that new (freshly redone?) sweet cabover Pete. I passed them and was waving like a little kid !!!! it's getting so rare to see a coe in California let alone something this priceless. thank you Chris for all that you do and Kevin and Todd for making my day on I-5 !!!!
Very nice truck. Really love the sound of that Detroit. I cut my teeth in a cab over but have been in a hood for the last 15-18 years. Kinda miss the old coe days but really like the room and convenience the hood offers.
Glad to see you are keeping a tradition alive and doing your father proud.
that 8v92 gave me the chills. love an old 2 cycle Detroit
8V92 - 500 YES, YES, YES! Never heard the Jake cut in unfortunately, and that's a sound that you don't need straight pipes for! Great job on getting it back on the road. Liked the way he ran up the gears, real smooth.
Love the old school! Nothing sounds like a 2 stroke Detroit!
Awesome!! I appreciate how he's kept it period correct instead of adding all the gaudy add ons today, that take away the looks of trucks.
Oh man that Detroit sounds like music to my ears!!! Someone needs to make a modern day two stroke
that wouldn't be a bad idea! ;) I hope it gets considered!
Maybe along with bio-fuel/diesel development (so to meet anti-pollution standards)
Y’all go check out mtu Detroit diesel. They design and manufacture modern two strokes only thing that sucks is they are mostly large v type mining truck and generator set engines v-12 v-16 v-24. also mtu Detroit diesel is the same Detroit diesel that made these sweet sounding engines it’s a partnership between the two companies.
Emissions did them in
They do. It's called a locomotive. 710 cubic inches per cylinder. Overhead cam , ecm controlled injection. Meets tier 4 emissions All these 2 strokes were produced by GM. Now Cat owns EMD.
Cummins is working on one
MAN OH MAN THAT ENGINE SOUNDS SO GOOD 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💀☠️😎
Awesome video! Love Kevin's cabovers. He also has an '84 Freightliner, Brown, with an 8v92. I was hoping he would mention that truck as well. Haven't seen it for a while. Hope he still has it. Both of these rigs are sweet!! Thanks for the video!
Awesome truck and story. I got into trucking also cause of my dad. Love it.
Nice old Cab over Freightliner, that V-8 Detroit sound awesome! Nice to see the classic trucks, thanks again Chris.
I love this truck, I'm a cabover freak especially with freightliners and 362 petes
I want a Ford CLT9000
Checkout my international cabover im starting on
i love the old cab overs i cant wait to get my cdl
This is one of those trucks that takes me back to my childhood. I remember seeing them on the road and wanting to become a truck driver. Ended up going into aviation instead, but once I retire from flying, I would love to own an old truck some day. Awesome truck and great video.
Great truck and an even better trucker.....
That is a beautiful truck. Love the sound of the Detroit too!
not just the older guys enjoy those ol' trucks, there are a few young fellers who love'em too! thanks for the great video!
Great video.... I appreciate the depth of the questions. The hard work Kevin put into this truck is evident, and it was fun to learn about the working cabover. Too bad more drivers aren't trained to truck in the same way he is doing for his cousin. I have been hoping for a cabover Rolling CB interview by you, and was very impressed by the knowledge shared in this brilliant video. Thanks for all you do!
What a beautiful fancy office this man has ! real LUCKY ! LOVE IT ! 👍
I've watched this video more than a couple of times...I've never had the pleasure of driving a Coe. I drove a 79 Chevy bison with an 8v silver 92 15 speed. It was a pleasure. I'm a big fan of this guy.
beautiful piece of history
Such a beautiful truck and engine and transmission combination. And a real professional. This video makes me proud of that young man.
It really is a wonderful thing to see these old rigs on the road...
Beautiful truck. Drove a COE freight shaker back in the 70s. 318 Detroit. Best sounding truck that I have ever drove. Have always loved COE trucks. Been driving a truck for 41 years. Plan on driving one for a few more years.
I just seen him yesterday morning going westbound I-40 toward Knoxville, TN. That rig look GREAT!
This is one of your best Chris!! thanks
Nice truck . Great guy.. I love the 8v silver 92. So fun to drive. I really miss driving my old 79 bison
Nice truck Kevin, your truck looks great with all the original gear and nothing sounds better than a Detroit.

@ 7:00 min I love V8's! Nice to hear it powering up to speed through the gears, so thanks for the interview break to do so, but not to say the interview wasn't great, as it was! We'll done brother with telling your story, your advice, work ethic & interest in keeping some classic history on the road!
Also as the young cousin said at 16:00 min not to cut corners, absolutely true, as I've learnt a good saying, "A short cut, is always the longest distance between two points!
Cheers.🍻 brothers👍 Rich.😎
Love those COEs and look at the first aid kit! Great vid as always
Beautiful truck ! I'm driving a 74 while my good truck is in the shop. I don't know why his big gulp didn't jump out of the holder several times ! Mine would have. Hope to see you out here Kevin.
Love the G. Young Trucking & Son trucks. He has some great "shifting gear vids" with the COE #337. And good vid at the drags running against mckee's 48 GMC

Love that Freightliner! Im getting my AZ soon and will be getting a cab over for sure!
One very nice clean freightliner good to see it still haulin
Awesome video and truck. I have an 87 freightliner cabover I bought 4 years ago. Truck sat in the weeds for about 7 years. 350 big cam. 9 spd. 355 rears. Been rebuilding her a little at a time. Just a few more small things to do and hopefully she'll be road ready in about a month. Pretty much same situation. Only paid $1500 for the truck. Man was getting ready to scrap it. Have done all the work myself. No better feeling having a truck you owe noone for. Just put time and money into it when I could. Now the progress has paid off.
Absolutely a beautiful truck......thanks for posting........be safe..........✌
Nice lookin Rig sounds real smooth
Thanks for another great video
What a beautiful truck...and to keep it in the original apperance makes it even better.
Man this young brotha has that truck spec'd with one of my all time favorite motors a 8v92T Detroit 2-stroke that he turned up to 500 HP Sound s awesome with that 15-speed

he doing a frame-up resto for a '79 Pete
good series.
That is the most beautiful truck in the world 🌎 !
Nice !!! Love the Cab overs.
I am old school driver and I love the COE. love the Cummings and a 13 sp roadranger.
Love the sound of that 8v92 silver. No other sound like it.
That is one sweet looking and sounding Freightliner COE.
Sweet truck, I logged a lot of miles in a (car hauler) Freightliner cabover when I was young. I remember how cold that cab could get when it got below zero. All the best to you driver, be safe...
Great Series...great trucks ..... thx.
I have ALWAYS LOVED cab over's, especially the "Freight Shaker" known as a Freightliner. In March of '93 I hired on with Inco Express Inc, OWNED by ONE Man, the late Victor Dipetro... Good Man. After I completed my OTR training by Paul Bray, ( he trained me how to be A PROFESSIONAL truck driver, THANKS Paul), I was assigned truck#5285, it was 1985 a 9 speed Freightliner cab over with NO power steering, NO A/C. That truck has some BALLS !!....I LOVED that truck more than my ol' lady. I believe I've seen that truck and the driver at a truck stop in Chehalis Wa??....
drove one of those years back. 1988.same cab,425 cat,13 over.had to be careful when you lifted the cab. when you put it back down,you had to give the jack a few extra pumps when the cab landed on mounts to keep the gear stick in place.the one thing the trucker never said; damn i had too many straps on that load!
COE's r my faves real nostalgic look west coast Freightliner love it bro.
beautiful..neat..clean....this truck has appeal...
Old 2 Stories are cool, luv the sound of the GM Diesel...
I used to haul tracks for bulldozers for the mines in Northwest New Mexico from the shop when they were repaired. I started out using two chains per track. As time progressed. I used three straps per track. They held and it was easier to adjust and install.
that old 8v92 with twin stacks and rain caps must sound nice cold started while she's hunting.
Nothing better than an old cabover weither your running a Detroit or a cat , I'm not a trucker but I want to be a diesel gypsy in an old school truck but I have a few hiccups on my license so it will be harder to get my cdl, but I'm willing to wash trucks for a year if I have to to get my cdl, trucking race cars and michanic work is in my blood, I'm adopted but I have truckers in my biological family and in my adopted family , it's been my life long dream and I will 34 in September
