- After blowing the transmission in my hotshot rig for the third time this summer, I made the jump to running the cabover. Now that I have run it for a week, this is how things went-

Hello Kyle, nice looking COE, look forward to the next one. I have a 84' International 9670 with a BC III Bought it in 2017 and been working on it ever sense. HOOAH!!!
Hi Kyle. Just came across your videos.
Man, it's great. Running an 85 cabover is awesome.
I like the way you think of fixing your truck.
Shout out from France.
Take care.
Keep on trucking.👍🚛
Heavy hitter! Good job 👍
Good video looking forward to seeing more of the ole gal
You’re doing great keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next Cabover videos!
You know what they say about cab over semis. "the driver is always the first one at the scene of the accident"
Hopefully this will be more durable than the previous ride.
That cabover in the junk yard next to the white medium-duty international at 1.50 is a Peterbilt 372. Extremely rare! I would have bought and fixed it.
Loved the vid! Raw footage is interesting in the moment knee deep situations. I'm not much on the background music. I like to hear the scenes for what they are. That's why I watch. Long pauses of silence represent thought in situations that might require some good ole USA ingenuity. I see now why and how your front bumper corners got tweeked. Alot of defensive positioning involved in trucking. Even at a rest area when your not even driving. If you'd been sleeping he would've been gone by the time you figured out what happen to your truck. Glad he stopped! Looking forward to the next one. Thx!
Good content
Sometimes you gotta make the traffic work with you. Happy to see it was just your mirror that got clipped. Sure is hard seeing in the dark. Tight spots like that I used to get out and make sure, the guy thought he had it. Nice to see you didn't whip the phone out and get in his face like some tik tok road warriors. Everyone makes mistakes if you drive long enough. And anyone that says they haven't is lying or new.
beautiful machine
Cool truck
Cool deal got it done.
Great video thanks.
Thanks for sharing the junkyard got a 94 frieghtskaker coe been looking around junk yards for parts

More!
Call truck bumpers inc in Atlanta Ga. They have new chrome bumpers for around $300.
Called em, it’s about $600 for mine
@@kyle-kelliher I’m sorry Brother, I got one from them few years ago for $300. Didn’t know they went up. They were the aftermarket place to go at one time.
Wow
You can take a piece of tin or even a wood 2x6, grease it and slide those duals off easily. I've done it many times. Lots easier.
Nice! You should do the kenly 95 show next year
Do they have a class for ratty ol cabover’s like mine? 😅
@@kyle-kelliher yes sir, I bought a 1985 white cabover for the show a week or so ago
What is the name of the class?
@@kyle-kelliher I belive WHL. It’s builders transport
I'm thinking of doing the same thing, upgrading from hotshot to a cab over, how's working for you?
Congratulations ! What engine is in that cab over?
350hp Big Cam Cummins
Get the axle gaskets they are cheap
Forgive me for asking man, but I have wanted to do this as well, have you made your money back from buying the ole girl yet? Been worried about fuel prices and live able profits I guess
Well I have about $17,500 invested as of now. I’ve made about $2,000 of that back so far after all my fuel and insurance costs, of course I’ve only been running with it for a total of 8 days because i come home pretty often.
@@kyle-kelliher I appreciate your honesty man, I enjoy watching your channel and I’m glad I found it. I had some unfortunate events happen and I had to sell my 9670 Cab Over and never got to start my own thing unfortunately. So I’m hoping I can find me something soon and start chasing that dream of mine. It can be done and you are showing me that so thanks man!
