Had a coworker that use to run his angle grinder without the guard until one day when he was using it similar to how you were and the disk broke apart and a chunk became embedded in the side of his hand to the bone cutting a tendon. He doesn't do that anymore. You do what you want but it's something to consider.
They are young and think they are invincible. We all been there, and those of us who lived through it are now suffering the consequences of our bad decisions.
I hear ya, I do FA and Safety on job sites, run into this all the time. No PPE.
Running a grinder without a gaurd is just stupid.
If it breaks, you're more likely to take out someone working near you, than it hitting yourself.
@@richieb7692 Yep but even with the guard on that is possible, which is why you should always use situational awareness when using a cutting disk on a grinder.
😂😂😂😂😂
The truck looks great guys! I learned how to drive back in 1978 on an old cabover. Thanks for restoring this old girl, us old timers appreciate you young men preserving the past for us to remember in retirement!
Sanding without face mask. Now I understand this channel. I understand why you all are the way you are!
Poor work ethics.
Roger Dickinson this is why he sounds congested all the time. His respiratory system must be a mess.
I guess you are better than everyone else sounds about right got so much going on in your life that you have to look into some one else's to make you feel better about yours and he must be doing something right you are watching his videos
@@curtismcquiston3192 He made a good point, but went about it in shitty way. Get some respirators guys. Protect yourselves, especially if you are doing this stuff regularly.
David Hall Safety Last
The ol cabover reminds me of my childhood, both parents were/are truck drivers, and I grew up in a truck, when I was four I was riding in the jump seat while my dad backed into a dock, he had his door opened leaned out watching the positioning of the trailer, so I thought I would give dad a hand and look out my side to make sure he was in good shape, I grabbed the door handle and pulled, the door flew open and I went head first outta the jump seat, I face planted the divider curb that was there, and broke my nose, knocked me out, had a concussion, and 30 something stitches! Nothing like the good ol days in a cabover!!
It deserves the fixing of dings and dents man! Remember to Always use mask. Mostly the old paints is lead based. All the best for the new year!
Nice to see someone who knows how to cut the threaded rods. Put a nut on it first, cut it, then back the nut off to clear the burrs and clean the threads👍👍👍
Safety equipment doesn't make you soft man. Its relatively inexpensive compared to what I've seen you spend on truck trinkets.
Stay alive bud
You made me think of the part in Dumb And Dumber where Lloyd comes out of the store with the big cowboy hat, paddle balls and stuff. Haha
@@1980bwc haha, yes. Classic
The lack of safety equipment with the grinder made me cringe. I only had to see one disk come apart and I’ve worn PPE ever since.
it makes you a smart man to use saftey equipment
andrewsenn89 Total lack of PPE. We had a 6" disc come apart at the shipyard last year.....no guard. Guy got written up. Guards and handles where possible. Safety glasses, foamies and even half masks and filters are free.
The length of the brake chamber rod does matter BIG!!! You lose braking efficiency if the slack adjuster goes over 90 degrees to the rod. It won’t pass DOT if it does. Also, it can screw up the adjuster pin if it’s over extended.
Hell learn the hard way..
I was looking for a comment about this thinking I can't be the only one to know he's wrong on the rod length.
I was about to leave a similar comment.
The guy is a bit of dickhead at times, would you but a tractor from him.........wow
I was saying the same thing the rod throw is going to alter everything things that happen when you don’t look up what you are doing he’ll notice when he’s trying to stop and the rig doesn’t slow down
Take care of yourself bud, no mask when sanding, no guard on the grinder and not wearing a face shield, it only takes one time to regret your choice.
Keep the videos coming!
*Shaking hands with danger plays*
I had shit to say but reading the comments it's all been said so now I'll bow out gracefully
With brakes applied, the slack and chamber rod should make a 90* angle. So if you look at it and were to put a square on it from the center of the s-cam down to the center of the large clevis pin to the chamber rod should make 90*. Hopefully that makes sense. And this is DOT.
I still think the colours you got it in is perfect!
Poor iceman, spent time cleaning up that paint 😂 eh u got him presents he'll be fine
Glad to hear the Cabby run and move...props. for All the effort and it paying off...No Fails.
Bruce PLEASE you and your brother need to wear masks some of the old paint is toxic and aluminium dust will stay in your lungs forever PLEASE take care God bless you all 🙋♂️🇬🇧
So agree.
No time for festivities with Bruised Wilson!
Not that we dont care about the other stuff. We want to see this one through FIRST!!
Exactly !!!

Louder please, the previous video felt like clickbait!
r'u a old truck lover.

Well, you inspired me to go and buy a 2000 Freightliner with Cummins ISM and Eaton straight 10. It had a transmission issue which I was able to solve. Now its time to start cleaning.
"We gotta get this sanded and primed today"....then quit screwing with the brakes and help your brother !!!
14:30
Dear Mr.Bruce, I like this cabover since u bought . I have been watching your vedio since and always waits for new one.
The "valves" are qr1 valves aka quick release.. they exhaust the air when the brake pedal is released.
Wow! little brother doing some work. it's a "miracle". 😀
Hey Bruce, put a couple pumps of grease in that throw out bearing. The ole girl is coming along!!!
You can never be too careful when it comes to safety. A life is priceless, ask any of your closest friends and relatives. Some few $$$ in parts are well worth it. Happy new year guys & girls!
I've watched the all the vids and Man that truck came a long way
Glad your channel is finally getting the attention it deserves. Truck is looking killer and looking forward to flatly content.
5:12 - I found myself wondering: "How quickly can a cutting wheel get into a truck tire @ .. What? 120 PSI?"
Shutup
It's 180psi
The cringe was so real.. and I would've laughed so damn hard had he cut that tire.
Drive tires are usually inflated to 100 psi. And the rubber is inches thick. A little cut in the rubber means nothing.
Rajni Yadav no its 100 psi and steers are 110
I love diesel engines, park them for 20 years and with the right skills and equipment they run again without being torn down. This project is special for me because I drove this new model when it first came out in 1981 or so. Previously I drove a Transtar II which I think I've mentioned before. I liked the Transtar II better except this models sleeper was bigger.
@James Hickey
I drove the old Transtar cabovers for a few years myself. They turn great, but they are not known for comfort, or living room. I will say it was a step up for me coming out of that old Mack though.
I always drove Pete's but when I was young my dad had a transtar and we loved it when we moved about a year ago and we sold the truck of the yard it had a little over 1.7 million original miles. Those things run forever man.
The tires make a good bench for grinding tho 😂👌
I just finished paint on a freightliner classic on my channel. Glad to see you restoring the old girl
Watching the opening seconds of this video and cannot help love the short wheel base. So nice to manage even the longest trailers. nice rig.
Love this semi project.. Satisfying to watch
Take the cheesy music out!! Love the video but kill the music. Happy New Year!!
this cannot be stressed enough, especially when you are talking, ffs first-time content creators know that.
Goo gone or goof off is good to remove the adhesive from the vinyl lettering that was originally there
Why go through all this work and not bother to fill in the dents. If you are gonna do it, do it right.
All black with dual stacks. God that thing would look sexy man. It's coming along and progress looks great guys. Can't wait to see what it looks like when you're done.
I hope one day on one of my Florida runs I see this truck in person. I find myself looking forward to these videos lol. Keep it up man!
Keep it white, red and black... please!!!! I think this paint scheme is the best for that truck! It's one of the main reason why I follow the rescue...
Just letting you know that you can rev up the engine to about 700-900 rpm and it'll build air pressure a lot quicker that way. At least thats how we did it on newer trucks.
Not good for them
There may be a high idle switch. Maybe not.
@@rogerdickinson920 I know some of the freightliners used the cruise control as a high idle switch which I found odd.
Bruce, you should look into a direct to metal 2k primer. there are some that are ok to use over the bare aluminum and would work a lot better than the self etching that you've got. you may run into issues with the acid in the self etching primer reacting with the paint that's already on the truck. plus the etching primer isn't meant to go over body filler. like the way this project has ended up so far. cant wait to see what the end result will be.
I saw the palm sander on the previous vid and laughed. If it was me i'd 180grit and 320grit the cab down. Etch prime the bare metal parts then filler prime the whole cab. Guide coat the cab then fill any low spots reprime etc then 400grit or 500grit then good to go with your topcoat. I'm not a painter but i've done my own car and i'd love to have a go at the truck its cool. Wear a proper airfed or 2k filter mask and wear painters suits with hoods 2k is not good on the skin lol
Keep doing what you are doing and do it your way...after all its your channel bro. Love what you guys do and credit you for making a channel such as this and entertaining us.
I’m from Russia , I bad speak English (
I watch you video , and i like you video.
You are well done with the guys, good luck in the new year, and I will continue to watch you with pleasure.😉
Hello friend from USA. Happy New Year 🇷🇺🇺🇲 🎉
Thank you, it is very nice to receive messages from you, but unfortunately, everything in politics is bad in Russia, thieves in power and hold on to each other, are afraid to leave their power and be convicted of what they acquired over the years, we (people) we suffer, but everything is already on the verge, they promise and promise us, for the past 20 years. Unfortunately, they say bad things about you, but only on television, because it is controlled by our state, and it’s easier for them to blame everyone for their failures than to admit their guilt, and we perfectly understand this and know that you are good people with great soul, and we are very similar and we have nothing against you, and, of course, we all want to be friends and live without disagreement, but some, unfortunately, are not profitable, sorry for the mistakes if they are in the text, happy new year again and all the best
Acuravigor47 thanks a lot☺️
@@user-cb3bd7ss5p Greetings from America my friend. 🇺🇸
Justin Sanders Hello my american friend ☺️
Keep up the cab over project.
Nothing beats hitting a bump in those things and every thing you have in the cab is floating eye level with you . Should be called anti gravity cab over.
Good luck and keep up the good work.
the front wheels need some love
Thank you Bruce for all the hard work you and everyone puts in to give us good free content to watch!
2 minutes in and I'm like where's your mask.
PPE is for pu$$ies and liberals! 😂🤣
Chief Stones Really!!! I was thinking the same thing. He’s nuts.
Chief Stones- Are you an Air Heritage member? I volunteer there.😄
Tony Abbott you conservatives always have shit to say. 😂🤣
Really?? You may thing different when you have to deal with associated injuries and all the paperwork plus investigations and recriminations and fingerpointing...
Awesome great to see progress on the cabover can't wait to see paint. 👍
shouldve had dustless blasting come out and blast the whole thing
Coming along great. Looking forward to seeing this with fresh paint.
Glad to see that this didn’t become a chop top
The GMC they don't make parts for any more. So got to do something with it.:)
As long as he owns it, its never safe from that possibility.
@@1980bwc he's going to us it to pull is toys around. So he's not going to destroy it. But it would be cool to see a convertible semi though
@@ray-vf6ux Im still trying to figure out where these guys money comes from. None of them ever work anywhere. They just blow cash and do dumb crap all day everyday.
@@1980bwc idk but you are here so you must like watching it :) but i would think it comes from there utube money and there impument dealership
The first TH-camr I had ever follow on consistent basis
Wear a mask when removing paint especially old paint.
Florida man inhales toxic paint.
@@beekman306 He wants to worry about the asbestos in the paint before the toxic part.
Florida is so humid that no dust is produced
Xavier Ancarno no kiddin’ you can nearly swim through the air 😂
Asbestos in paint never heard of that, lead based yes but asbestos?
Great to see it coming along even with all the comments seems everyone is an expert at complaining . Happy new year
Just me or dose it make more sense to do sanding and painting before worrying about polishing chome and wheels🤔
Jeff Heyman Does*
@@jumpinjojo doodoo
G.K. Daadaa.
Dose??
If it's a one man operation, then it doesnt make sense. But if you have the laborers ready for work, it's better than paying them to stand around until you are ready for paint. Also, you can mask everything and do i final buffing when the paint is complete.
Lucky the truck to get to a good owner. Hello from Russia!
You should take the international badges off so you can get a good clean paint job
I thought of that as well. Just a couple of retainers behind.
If you're meaning the ones on the door at 12:50 then you can see that they already have at 13:20 :) Are there others?
@@jasonfrary I didn't get too far into the vid. Lack of PPE and safe work practices turned me off. I have a 2009 Volvo 730, singled which is used for pulling my 40' 5th wheel RV. I would always be concerned with what was going to fail next on this truck or one like it in similar condition. Would I be on a freeway with nowhere to stop or in the middle of Nowherseville in Wyoming?
Roger Dickinson A fair and valid point.
@@jasonfrary Jason, I do First Aid and Safety on Construction sites as well as a gig once or twice a year at a Ship Drydock. Safety is always an issue. People don't get it, eye, hearing protection, dust, grinder and safe ladder use. Fall Arrest and restraint. It never ends. Safety and First Aid seem to be a necessary evil on sites. The workers figure all we do is watch movies or porn in the FA shack. They swipe airhorns, discharge or take 5lb Extinguishers, smoke inside the building.
I figure these UTubers should be leading by example. They embolden others to do the wrong thing....I'm off my soapbox for now. 2:40 am here on the West Coast.
Cheers, we may be of the same mind.
I have never felt such a connection with a vehicle in my entire life.
Totally not weird.
In case someone hasn’t already mentioned this, but you need a mic. Too often it’s very difficult to hear you talk.
Can't hear you over the music..
Paint all black with all the crome and yellow lights on top looks so good
That looked like there was cracks in the metal where that light goes, I would take a drill and drill holes at the end of the crack so they don't get longer.
when this truck is done, I would take it to a classic truck show in the spring and summer. Might get some offer's.
Title. "Prepping the cab for paint and fixing the rear brakes" There i fixed it for ya.
Nice vid. Glad to see yo back with the Cab Over. Didn’t like the jumping around to other projects while I was hooked on this cab over and it’s updates. One thing at a time....to completion, lol.
He does tend to jump from one project to another a lot. Kind of like a fart in a hurricane.
You need to step up your paint prep skills, your killin me here! I can't even watch it.. oh man..don't get me wrong i like what your doing..
Great work, glad your keeping character. Get well soon and don't push yourself with the flu too hard,..,
I really wish the Ice Master was there with you while you were sanding this.... You were really heavy in some spots and light on others.... You will see all that
I was thinking the same thing. Tipping the D/A at an angle using it like a grinder and not holding it flat is going to show through for sure.
@@bcd2107 yep and the truck is one giant flat square surface... Any bump or indent will show up way worse once it's been sprayed
Use the safety equipment. Especially, just getting over the flu. Take it from one that did not and got worse. What is you estimate going to be for the total cost for material.?They were
can't hardly hear a word you're saying, the music is too loud.
Mute along with CC
Nice work Bruce...I get to learn something new in every video...keep it up.....truck sounds really nice too
Mask ....mask ....mask ...eye protection ...gloves....ears ....
Good job, guys! Love this american trucks.
Shouldn’t the title be somewhere along the lines of “prepping the cabover for paint?” . Was looking forward to seeing it get sprayed .
Thats right. Was also expecting to see that cabover paintet. But you are on a good way to goonzquad level.
Yeah the past two vids have been click bait
I enjoy the videos nonetheless 🤷♂️ just feel somewhat betrayed . Lol
It’s called click bait... and we all clicked
Your there and replacing the "pots" or "brake pots" (not brake canisters), I would have phased the single pots out and changed them to maxi-pots instead (maxi-pots are twin "service brake" pots and "parking brake" pots built into one unit. Always nicer to have the tractor held stationary by two axles as apposed to just one axle when you park it, also a very easy upgrade to the existing system. Goes over much better with the Scale Masters and D.O.T. Inspectors when there's four brakes holding a tractor still than just two. "Quick release valve" or "relay valve", but generally known as a "relay valve", it allows lower air pressure to control higher pressure air to the pots during braking. Yeah, those older tractors were painted with lead based paints, I wouldn't piss around sanding it, just hit it with commercial paint stripper and scrape it off as apposed to sanding (seeing masks are not important in Florida when sanding paint and standing in a dust cloud). Then your down to the base metal quicker and easier, this way you can neutralize the stripper and then go to primer and filler without all the hassle. Just observations..
International locked the power divider when you set the brakes so both axles are locked
@@davidcaskey4669 If you have "air", no "air" your shit out of luck. I think they may have even changed the "rules" requiring brake upgrades to Maxi-Pots (don't quote me on that though). It comes down to what is the safest process without human intervention or in the case of loss of air pressure.
@@zukowski2023 if you lose air pressure the spring brake will apply to tractor and also the trailer buzzer should go off at 60 psi to let you know there's a problem. But if you tear on of the maxi off by hitting something in the road the air will empty and uzzer comes on faster than you can think about it and breaks will set
@@davidcaskey4669 Yeah, I am more than aware of how "spring brakes" work. What's your point? I am saying if he's doing the brakes, upgrade to four wheel Maxi-Pots and be done with it, it's smart, it's safer and he's upgrading so why not do them all and be done with it.. As it stands he only has one axle with spring brakes, why not be smart and do the other as well.
@@zukowski2023 my point is the back axle is locked wheels won't move because the power divider locks the rears together when the brakes are set. You don't have to move the divider lever on the dash it automatically locks it when the brakes are set you know when you pull out the red and yellow buttons on the dash or if it's older red,blue and yellow
When u going to chop it like u did the other cab over?I could be wrong but has he ever finished any project?
He was never going to chop this.
Hi Bruce; I've really enjoyed your videos and enjoy seeing folks take time to bring back old machines. However, your TH-cam channel is important to you as well in which case I would suggest something you already know: take time to stay on track, have a plan, and produce each video with as high a quality as possible. You've got a good thing here; take time to present it well! Thanks and I am enjoying the progress.
Wait a Bruce Wilson video and it's not even midnight. Lol
The patina was so cool damn
I try to cut most of my metals over tyres.
I like the learning by doing mentality. Keep up the good work.
Dude wrap it. You can put all kind of designs in a wrap!
3899usm I suggested that a couple of weeks ago.
I don't think wrap would work out with the amount of rivets in the cab.
Greg Brown You may be right but my RV has some lumps and the use of a heatgun got them pretty tight.It's the lack of PPE that bothers me
You could put 30/30 park brake Chambers on all those drives if need. Tap off the emergency release value run air lines to the Chambers. You'd have emergency and a service line to all the drives
Not sure why you’re bothering to paint it, it didn’t need it, just that tool box door.
Now you’re not worrying about fixing dents, it’s half arsed. You shoulda left it as it was, got it to a dependable work horse stage and the put efforts into a full rebuild on something else.
Well it's coming along looking good. thanks for sharing.
Guys you get poor audio when there’s distance between y’all, you should get a Lavalier Mic on Amazon, there’s tons of em
In my nearly 60 years on this rock I have restored several Cab overs. For the love of God get a damn 50 dollar dent puller and fix those dents properly.
Sad choice to not do bodywork, You will regret this later!
Thanks for the great content man. Just wanted to say don’t pay attention to all the hate in the comments. It exhausts me just looking at it so I can’t imagine the stress it could add for you. Ultimately there will always be critics just know that a lot of us out there love your content. Keep doing you!
I wish I had some land like that just to work on projects with my buddies. Here in Seattle, it just rains and everyone complains about everything.
Can’t wait to see the thing finished 👍🏻👍🏻
An out side paint job sounds like its going to sema lol
How come nobody has ever given props to Aaron dude Aaron is the goat everytime he’s workin, good job Bo.
Please put some good leather gloves on when u use your grinder
Bruce you guys are doing a good job. Thanks for the awesome video's buddy
Hey guys thought you ran a tractor shop? Do you let your guys work without safety gear? Sanding without some sort of dust mask? no hearing protection? and no safety glasses? when using an angle grinder. I've seen zip cut discs shatter well in use. In not going to get into the fact you don't have a guard on it which will protect you if that did happen. I'm not Safety Susie but those things dont take anytime. Better to take literally 15-20 seconds then walk around deaf, blind and with COPD. Just a tad of professionalism and safety
Yeah Im ready to see what this baby turns out to be. Im slowly working on a old Pete myself but i plan on running it
Love the Truck,but I am glad this isn’t a educational how to video,it’s more like a how not to🤦♂️
lol he should ride a horse he's a right cowboy
Very good keep going man we like to see more of this cabover and New projects in the future
Doctor: You have a few minutes to live
Me: Frantically directs TH-cam to Bruce Wilson’s channel
When you were driving toward the concrete pad.... THAT"S HOW A BIG TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND! I wish you the best on making this one happen I know you got this
