I watvhed this video and the tears started rolling down my cheeks. Man that back so many memories from my years on the road. Thank you for making this film. I'm 80 yrs. Old and miss the driving so much. Thanks again. Dave Suntken. Woodland , Mi.
This video got to me. I mean it really hit me hard. I spent close to 30 years of my life in cabovers running coast to coast, border to border and then some. Watching these old trucks and the music you chose to accompany them it brought back a flood memories from years I can't relive. I have a huge amount of respect for the guys and gals that carried a camera and took lots of photos and also for these men that rescue old iron and give it another chance at life. My hats off to you.
I can’t believe a lot of the truck drivers are finding these old Cab over’s and how many there really was back in the day and I’m seeing them all over down here in Tennessee where I live and I always loved them all
I became an O/O back in '76 in southern California. Back then cabovers were pretty much all you could have with the length laws at that time. My first truck was a '68 Freightliner double cab with a 290 Cummins and a 5x4 trans. Wish I still had that truck today.
This Video warms and at the same time Brings a Tear to my Eye .. these old Rigs are a Big Part of my Early Trucking History .. and the many companys that are no longer Here today .. I can Gaurentee one thing .. If them Drivers were out here on the Road today .. the innconcideration . And Rudeness we have to Day on this road would not be here .. today them Boys Didnt Play .. I miss them Days .
Wow great video that was a true stroll down memory lane seeing all those old cabovers and companies that were around when I started and now gone .and how we stuck together back then
When I was growing up my dad had 3 cabovers in the course of his career . F model cruzliner. Mh ultraliner. I miss driving with my dad in those cabovers. Priceless.miss those days.
Thanks for sharing these fine trucks! I started driving at 7 and grew up around old trucks. Love cabovers! 🥰 Ford c 800, Marmon cabover, GMC Astro & Crackerbox , IH 4060 & 9670 and REO were some that I’ve driven and owned. 🥰 God bless our truckers and the USA!
Man I don't know what's cooler. The old cabover trucks, or the men who ran them without a complaint. Thanks to my dad i got to grow up in these kind of trucks. A few more years and I could of ended up a new breed super trucker who don't have a clue and wouldn't make it 2 weeks in a without changing carrer
Praise Jesus, 44 to the finish line. He got me home safe for the rocking chair and the final sunset. Now I lay me down to rest, all beat to a pulp, I passed the Lord's test, no regrets, more coffee in a gulp. Tired at times, lots of pain all the time, run out of money at times, no food at times, left foot frozen at times, right foot roasting at times. One last cigarette 3am at times, paper towel above the visor at times, defrost chokes all the time, frozen brakes at times, a whole new meaning to hammer down at times, the Dayton and the Bud, let me down at times. No more chrome, home sweet home now, ALL THE TIME. Me n Jesus gulping coffee ALL THE TIME! Rusty J Rust 1970-2014 (retired) West-central Wisconsin.
Love the cabovers... I remember when they use to dominate the roadways. They were something to see coming up the road at night with the marker lights high on the horizon!🤩 Talking about style!😃
I really enjoyed your video. It brings back a bunch of memories, I started in a single axle, spring ride, plain jane Freightliner sleeper running for a contractor for Roadway Package System years ago. I drove that pogo stick of a truck from NJ to Fla to Pa and back to NJ weekly. I was young, dumb, and my back and knees didn't hurt. The guy I worked for who leased with RPS also had four other trucks three ran for RPS, the other two ran intermodal and one was a Mack F model. He also had a Mack MH signed on with RPS and he was the primary driver of it. It had the E9 V8 500hp (underrated to get past Uncle Sam's EPA back then) and used to blow my doors off with it.
Looking at these old cab overs brings back a lot of memories! Memories of when I started my trucking career! Back then you could tell a truck driver just by looking at their forearms. Look like Popeye! Beautiful old trucks!
This makes my back hurt just looking at the pictures!... Haha!.... I used to climb down out of those Bastards feeling like someone worked me over with a damned Ball Bat!.... My first was a Mack F, then I had a TranStar, then later on a Freightshaker.... I have a conventional now a days.... It's nice not having to worry about length laws anymore....
Back in the late 60's early 70's next door neighbor drove cab over, International? i remember him out for days, then home. We were watching over his wife and daughter. Poor family like us, but very friendly. Nice tractor. Appreciated all the pictures. Romans 8:32 Thanks and Lord bless
Im in massachusets and most men under 25 years old never seen a acb over going down the road i only see one driving around and its a tow recker used hear and their for simi truck tows in a small hick town only one i have seen on the road in 20 years when i was a kid my causin drove cab over for jb hunt made great money
I drove a COE KW in the late '70s, and they weren't made that way for style. Many of the Eastern states had a 55' overall length requirement, and even the western states had a 65 foot limit unless you wanted to run oversize. When the length requirements were made uniform all over and extended, the COE died.
Cabovers?: I drove a bunch of em between 1969--90; Brockways, Internationals, GMCs, Peterbilts, Kenworth, & Macks, but my favorite of all was a 1980 White Road Commander with a 400 Cummins big cam 3 engine affectionately known as my "Gold colored Road-Commode." I'd trade every truck I ever drove, cabover or conventional, to hear that beast come to life underneath me again in anticipation of an upcoming trip out to parts unknown...
Most "MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE" remembers "B.J AND THE BEAR". He's a great one don't get me wrong, but how many out there watching these "TRIPS DOWN MEMORY LANE" can remember a MOVIE called "WHITE LINE FEVER" and his ICONIC "BLUE MULE" "FORD C.O.E"?
Man I love them cab overs all them classic truck brang a little tear to my eyes that's when real truck drivers run the road not like these still wet behind the ears most of theses new drivers today can't even drive a stick man drive you one with 18 in traffic for 5 miles hauling a 80,000 pound excavator then you know if you're a truck driver
Back in the day everybody who had trucks that ran out West and up North seemed to have cab overs.... JB Hunt, SWIFT, Schneider, etc. all ran cab overs.... Can you imagine those Mega Carrier Fools trying to drive one of them today?.... My God!... It would be catastrophic!..... Hahaha!!!....
Niiiiice👍. I don't see many cabover semi trucks🚛🚛🚛🚛 out on the roads anymore like I used to back in the day. I heard those set back axle cabovers have tighter turning radiuses than the other kind of cabovers.
Kevin Richards and they were easier riding! Those cabovers would beat you to death! If you were driving the roads in the ice and snow when you stopped you had better be careful. Those steps would ice up and you would fall about 5 feet out on the ground!
@@garypollard9770 also I heard it would get very hot in the cab during the summertime since the engine was right underneath the floorboard & all of that engine heat coming up below you making the a/c work harder. They probably rode rough too since the drivers were right directly above the front axles.
I worked there for about a year right after the 1st gulf war. Joe Carretta had just bought a furniture company in NC. But that was mostly all I did; drop & hook on US 17 in Paramus and again on Cherry Ave in Ontario. Got paid twice a week. If you had the guy at the TA just before you got to PA on 80 turn the fuel pump up so the truck would run, it was a good job.
Christian Trucker I run an 85 Pete 362 everyday local here in Nashville. Gets lots of attention. It’s a bit tricky to get parts for but a real cool old ride.
@@bctw9004 that sounds like a kool ride. I started in a 95 freightliner condo lol ugly as it could be but i still loved that truck. Im gonna have me one, one of these days. Maybe when my business is really doing well ill go get one and travel to the shows
Christian Trucker I’ve probably got 30k in my 362 and it’s still far from done. I’ve owned several k100s and 9670s and 362s. I prefer the petes. They aren’t without challenges but easier to work on than kws. However that’s just my opinion.
30 plus years have passed- and somehow you never get rid of the asphalt running thru your veins. Cabovers mostly the only thing I drove and learned on. Was hoping to see a Sam Tanksley- truck or Fast Motor Service or a Mobile Air- out of Tucson
I LOVE cabovers. The one at 4.36 is a local company! but i never seen that truck. It was probably scrapped :'( also the one at 6.35 looks EXACTLY like Curt Laundrys cabover (the one in my channel picture!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Glad you liked em i spent alot of time gathering up all of em to mske this. I love them ole trucks so much. Im hoping i can get one this coming year. Thanks for watching and commenting
I agree on , I would not want to drive another one , but I will say that peterbilt cabover came in very handy when your driving in the Bronx NY City . if you know what I mean..
1BEAVIS13 Love cabovers🥰! I even enjoyed driving them! I know some could be rough, etc, but I guess that I had some of the better ones to drive right off. Cabovers rule! 🥰🥰
I drove some that were bone shakers & back breakers for sure; older Macks & Brockways, a couple of older Petes. All of them outfitted with those damn low-back ratchet style Bostrum seats. But the day the boss gave me his new cabover White Road Commode with a high-back air-seat, with a Cummins big cam 3 engine my luck changed. With the right adjustment that seat became an air ride rocking chair! I loved that truck!
A man with out dreams is a man without hope. I hope you can live and drive over here one day it is a wonderful career. I plan on buying one of these classic beauties and pulling a camper around the country for my retirement
What is the name of the first song in this video ? I started driving in 1977 when cabovers were still a large presence on the road. A lot of memories here. Also companies that have long since went out of business, largely due to deregulation. Brought some tears reminded me of a more simpler life back then.
I’m letting you know something upcoming...we’re working on a special episode of old trucks...a good buddy of mine has finally retired and is selling his stash of trucks and trailers...cabovers, conventionals galore. I can help you acquire something...stay tuned to our channel.😳
I miss seeing these cabovers on the road the roads are not the same with out them the guy's that drove them are a rare bread and Awesome trucks now are not good looking like these they are cheap now and plastic like the cheap cars
They kinda did. One day you could be 65' long and the next day as long as your trailer wasn't over 48' (might've been less than that) you could pull it with a tractor as big as you could get around corners. COEs were finished after that. Because as cool as they are to look at, that's where the coolness stops. You're beating your kidneys to death riding on the steer axle, they were mostly hot as hell until it got cold outside. In cold weather the wind seemed to come through the front of the cab unrestricted, your whole lower end would be numb in an hour. If you had to get in and out multiple times a day you'd be wishing for an elevator. I'm just sayin, it's much better to look at them on my phone than to ever get in one again.
I spent untold thousands of hours sleeping on the doghouse. The only appropriate song I can think of in regards to a COE is "Monster Mash". They sucked, they always will suck.
I'm with ya bubba. I think of em like snowstorms. They're cool to look at, out the window or maybe on tv, but I want nothing more than that as far as personal contact goes.
@Pete James some people who use to drive cabovers back in the day told me they ride like you have a jackhammer up your ass & only get 2 or 3 miles per gallon when pulling a loaded trailer which is less than conventional cabs & very noisy inside the cab.
I watvhed this video and the tears started rolling down my cheeks. Man that back so many memories from my years on the road. Thank you for making this film. I'm 80 yrs. Old and miss the driving so much. Thanks again. Dave Suntken. Woodland , Mi.

I used to drive an 85 internationals eagle 9600. I miss that old goat it always got me where I needed to go with no issues.
The dependability of some of these old rides were second to none. These new trucks are way to needy
Wow great video that was a true stroll down memory lane seeing all those old cabovers and companies that were around when I started and now gone .and how we stuck together back then
Things sure have changed
When I was growing up my dad had 3 cabovers in the course of his career . F model cruzliner. Mh ultraliner. I miss driving with my dad in those cabovers. Priceless.miss those days.
Yeah those trucks are priceless
Spent the 80 and90 driving cabovers for a west coast outfit.....was a good time with great memories
I bet you should email me some pictures and a couple stories I'll share em. 1christiantrucker@gmail.com
Took my road test in 1974 in a Freightliner coe. First truck I bought as an owner operator was a 1988 362 coe Peterbilt.

At 4:56 NOOOOO !😮😨😭
I know right those Ford cabovers are super rare nowadays.
An real truck
4:56 Damn what a waste, for scrap metal! They are going to Rip this classic truck apart with that big machine, I don’t know what it’s called!
I heard that. Wish I could save them all
Can someone tell me why the cabover went away in America? My late father drove a Kenworth K 100 for North American Van Lines in the 1970’s.
Fuel prices and they road like shit
I’m letting you know something upcoming...we’re working on a special episode of old trucks...a good buddy of mine has finally retired and is selling his stash of trucks and trailers...cabovers, conventionals galore. I can help you acquire something...stay tuned to our channel.😳
I just subscribed i am swamped at the moment but in 3-4 months i may be able to grab something. Ill definitely be needing a 53 dry van
No Powerliners!?!? Darn shame
The cab over 7:40 min it does not exist anymore ... it burned completely😥
No offence intended Christian Trucker but this is a real truckers porn. Took my test in one in 90. I love them cabovers
Mine was a 95 freightliner great ole trucks

Ignorant bastard!
Racist ass clown!
seems like they disappeared overnight.
Yes sir won't be long and they will only be in museums sad stuff
They kinda did. One day you could be 65' long and the next day as long as your trailer wasn't over 48' (might've been less than that) you could pull it with a tractor as big as you could get around corners. COEs were finished after that. Because as cool as they are to look at, that's where the coolness stops. You're beating your kidneys to death riding on the steer axle, they were mostly hot as hell until it got cold outside. In cold weather the wind seemed to come through the front of the cab unrestricted, your whole lower end would be numb in an hour. If you had to get in and out multiple times a day you'd be wishing for an elevator. I'm just sayin, it's much better to look at them on my phone than to ever get in one again.
sorry the trucks are beautiful, but you change the immagex way to fast. no time look at them.
'Pause'
I'm interested in a cabover dump truck
Can anyone help me please respond area code 314-322-1606
Beautiful video, other than that there was no Marmons in it.
Ill have to find some on the next one
@@ChristianTrucker Thanks, I built them in the 70's. I do have some stills of some of them, if your interested.
@@pops87fxr yeah buddy 1christiantrucker@gmail.com would love some pictures of em
👍 Russia truck driver
All you new TRUCKER WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE TRUCKER. NEW WAVE SO CALLED Truckers.
Not for me it is going to quick, i see nothing good ... (good luck in the future)
I spent untold thousands of hours sleeping on the doghouse. The only appropriate song I can think of in regards to a COE is "Monster Mash". They sucked, they always will suck.
I'm with ya bubba. I think of em like snowstorms. They're cool to look at, out the window or maybe on tv, but I want nothing more than that as far as personal contact goes.
What is this Microsoft PowerPoint..👎
They look good but drove like crap and in an accident you were first on seen
Or you leave the accident scene through the windshield.
@Pete James some people who use to drive cabovers back in the day told me they ride like you have a jackhammer up your ass & only get 2 or 3 miles per gallon when pulling a loaded trailer which is less than conventional cabs & very noisy inside the cab.
