I'm going to agree with most of the others here in the comments.... keep it the way it is. Service it, fix the little issues use it for local hauls or delivery.
That truck would be perfect delivering to/picking up tractors in residential areas. Easy to get turned around.
@George Jones what 🤣🤣
@George Jones what??? That comment makes no sense to the one you replied to 😂😂
That’s exactly what I was thinking. It probably used to be like a loading dock truck at a plant or military hangar.
@George Jones what the actual fuck are you talking about.
@@GenAfterNextTactics There is no wear on that 5th wheel. Guess again.
This is a perfect example of a cabover work truck. Doesn’t need any of that chrome garbage. Maybe a stock looking visor but otherwise should just leave it. Maybe a taller muffler stack also. Shouldn’t do pulls with it either. Do closer deliveries and pickups with it. Could put a lowboy on it and haul stuff to shows. Probably is fuel efficient too. Don’t ruin a bone stock truck, there aren’t many left from that age. Find another more common sleeper truck for pulling.
@George Jones Find me an example of a day cab WHS painted white that looks good with all that chrome garbage you were talking about.
@George Jones Have you any for sale?Maybe you have private collection like to see some photos and specs
Cabovers like this are better, like hello turning radius.
@@mintyman1968 right there definitely not a dime a dozen bye any means
That particular model WhiteGMC is rare you don't see them around as clean as that one, usually when you see one it's beat to death and not much left of it. If it was mine I would put a little longer stack on it and that's about it. That thing would be perfect for those back roads delivery and pick ups. But it's his truck and he'll do what he wants with it.
Other than new tires, I’d leave her stock! It was an amazing find, so don’t ruin it with accessories or by using it for tractor pulling. This would make a great unit for local tractor pick ups and deliveries. Get her buffed out and take care of the minor dings and this thing will be mint! 👍
What a gem. If it was me I’d put a heavy duty rollback on it and use it for local pickups and deliveries. Would be an absolute killer asset to you.
I'd keep the steel wheels and painted bumper. It looks killer!
Agree 👍
“I love how original this truck is… also I’m going to customize the crap out of it….”
Stop… she is awesome the way she is. She has earned the right to stay original. Make her reliable and leave her be.
He doesn't know what it's like to be original, he's going to deface the truck 😔🇧🇷
Not what they do now a days .. straight pipe, goofy front bumper, aluminum rims ..it'll just be another "me to" truck that'll look like every other truck out there ..hey ..how about a big goofy sun visor ..yeah .. all becoming so over done, I'll definitely not watch those when he trashes it .. I'll have to go watch grass grow instead
@George Jones Hahaha, wonder what your like with a real problem.
Hey Bruce Wilson I would get new tyres on that Cabover and put aircon inside her too keep you cool on a really warm day and don't do anything else too her it looks really awesome the way she is.
Just my two cents but I'd leave her like she is. Take care of it and one day, if you do decide to sell it, you could just about get your money back. Most trucks like that are beyond ragged out.
I really hope he don’t mess with it. If he does, don’t half ass it either. Just do regular maintenance on it for start then look at the jake brake issue. But what do I know? I’m just a guy who works with airplanes and drives a suv!!!
I hate to be one of those guys but man I hate when the rare birds like this end up in the hands of people who just chop them up. Im not opposed to modding but to something like this just should be left alone.
C’mon guys, you know exactly what’s going to happen. He will put a front visor that nearly reaches the bottom of the windscreen, he will cover it in LED lights from top to toe, straight pipe it so you can’t hear yourself think, and then stretch it about 6 feet.
I bet you don’t f*** your wife so her box is nice and tight for the next guy. Lol typical corvette owner vibes.
Boring feed her the onions on the daily get some use out of it it’s a lump of metal
Other than tires, leave it stock for the day truck and definately get an A/C unit.
Put aluminum fuel tanks on that split one of them in half for the hydraulic reservoir keep the wet kit and find yourself either a trail king hydraulic dovetail or a Landoll trailer for it you will have the best of both worlds being in the tractor business.
Touch this one & watch your subscribers walk Bruce. Life isn’t always about loud pipes, all the lights & fake bling
This truck doesn’t need a damn thing in the looks department. It’s as pure as they get. Keep the bumper, tanks & wheels just the way they are. In the long run you’ll get a collector who appreciates the truck as it is & wants to add to their collection.
Loving the amount of uploads. Don't see trucks like this in the UK so it's super cool that you're uploading so much content with them.
They were available in the UK, known as the White Road Commander. Not many sold but check out JA Millar in northern Ireland. I believe they still have one.
mainly sold as the Volvo F89 is the other closest cousin to it.
I believe that is a Florida antique so it will only go up in value
Ones same as this in our yard in Manchester uk as a shunter it’s badged up as a Volvo
@@michaelthomas3646 I drove plenty of F89 in the
70s and they were nothing like this. In the UK they were sold as the White Road Commander. They usually had a Cat 3406 or a Cummins NTE. Both engines were notoriously heavy on fuel compared to all European manufactured engines with the exception of the Fiat NT35 which was an absolute animal on diesel. I've often spoken to drivers of the White and they all agreed it was a horrific thing to drive. All the home comforts of a Guy Warrior one fella said.
Use it for local tractor deliveries and pickups where you don't need to spend the night. Got to be easier in tight places than the Pete.
I don't blame you for not spending $21K on a Peterbilt with that many problems, but I am now slightly jealous of your new cabover. Congratulations!
I would keep the wet kit and buy a Landoll travelling axle trailer for deliveries and pick-ups in tight areas.
That make a great lil local hauler. Or a show truck
First thing I would do is get some safe steers on it and clean it up / maybe tint the windows to help with the heat some. As others mentioned that small Cat isn't going to be a big puller but its a clean truck and should be very reliable.
It's original. You're going to do what you are going to do but I would take it easy on the mods. It's gonna turn heads regardless because of its age and how clean it is
yep
Yup found a super low mileage mint condition truck so let's beat the shit out of it at the truck pulls, the second I saw the thumbnail I knew exactly where this was going. But hey it's his truck and his money so either way I'm enjoying the ride.
3306B is a tough little engine, but at 330 hp maximum it's not going to pull competitively. Stock or stoked, 10 liters is only 2/3 of the 15-L 3406 series. The 7-speed is bulletproof and pretty usable once you get into 3rd. As quick as you take that wet kit off you'll find a use for it!
Personally, with an old truck as low mileage as it is... leave it as stock as possible. Just enjoy it.
sadly it will be all chromed up looking like a pimp truck soon
Don't worry he'll sell it to Tim or someone for 10k more than he paid after driving the piss out of it for a month.
thank you for your agreement.. this guy always has to do stupid things with a perfectly good truck.. now after driving for a couple of years he sounds like he has been trucking for 40 years.. this guy just pisses me off doing things like this.. now first is to straight stack it.. good god.. what a jerk!
Get out of here
Agree original stock trucks are way more valuable and looks good the way it is just new tires on the front and maintenence that's it.
Leave it stock. That thing is sweet.
Congratulations on your new purchase Bruce. Absolute stunning condition for her age. Think you should call her The Vet . Abbreviation for Veteran.
Nice find. The wet kit is a plus. Don’t know why you would take it off.
What`s a wet kit?
@@meekdook4236 It's hydraulics for a dump trailer
You don’t ever need a wet kit until you do
@@juandiaz9661 agree , better to have one you don't need than need one you don't have
@@michaelpetersen2684 he can use a hydraulic detach gooseneck
Leave it the way it is Bruce..Use it local to deliver Tractors. I also see Timmy Gentry trying to get you to sell it to him...lol Awesome find!!
@George Jones I have to click off Tim's videos before I can finish watching. Way too long.
Get a lowboy equip trailer that uses wetline and put on that truck it would be sweet even a detach equip trailer that uses the wetline and then use it for getting some bigger tractors
Nice Bumper, Nice Wheels, polished Pipe, polished Tanks, nice Mudflaps and some 80s Style stripes. Realy nice find. Greetings from Germany
Leave the wet kit incase you want to hook a lowboy to it to bring other trucks to shows and events !!@ there is a million uses for the wet kit
Use it for the short deliveries.
My dad was a Truck driver for GM. Those day cabs have cost my dad 3- neck surgeries and one back surgery. I drive a new W-900 and everytime my dad gets in it he’s all smiles. I’ve got an 18 speed. My dad said he wished he’d had a chance to drive a auto. Any creature comfort to prolong his careeer
she is awesome the way she is. She has earned the right to stay original. Make her reliable and leave her be.
I love the new Cabover and the look I haven’t seen one like that before either
I am so glad to hear that you decided to keep blue collar the way it is and just fix it up Because looking back that truck means so much to you And I think it means a lot to a lot of people I know that was one of the reasons I 1st started watching your channel The new truck looks awesome Can't wait to see what you do with it it would sound pretty cool straight pipe though
Yup, what got me watching the channel was Blue Collar.
Great truck! i'm all for leaving things stock but it deserves wheels, bumper and tanks. Reckon it should be called White Collar!
These were basically just re-badged old White Road COEs where the design was already 20 years old in 1989. I worked for a large air freight company that got a bunch of them dirt cheap when a Michigan rock hauler cancelled its order. Cummins, 10-speed, dump exhaust, but set up to haul HEAVY rock, not aircraft containers. We hated them because you spent most of your time bouncing off the headliner, but they were tough and reliable.
Looks like a great personal car hauler
Dammm that is so clean
Very minor but tasteful mods would do great. A nice single chrome stack and a good chrome bumper / visor
You said it right, it's a one in a million. Keep is as original as possible. Take it to truck shows.
As for sledge pulling, go buy that old truck that was sitting next to the yellow Pete
I have not seen one of those White-GM-Volvo COE's in forever. That one looks like it is in incredible condition. Honestly, I would not pimp this one out. It was built to be a basic work truck, I think you should maintain its originality as much as possible.
Cabover Volvo/White/GMC trucks are hard to find in any condition. Great score!
It's more of a local/regional truck but there is nothing wrong with that.
It’s absolutely beautiful, I love them old cab overs.
Leave factory as much as possible and do truck shows with it. Would be and still awesome as is!
Hey Bruce I looked up the wet kit and what it is used for it is for dump trailers and lowboys if you get a lowboy trailer and it wet kit the wet kit tank that you got is filled with hydraulic fluid is hooked up to the trailer of a low boy if you come across a lowboy trailer you can haul heavy equipment or find somebody that wants a wet kit
Can't believe you had to Google wet kit? 🤣
I think you should call that one sugar cube 😻🤗👍
Brilliant truck with so much potential
Well done Bruce
God bless you and your family from the north west of England 🙏🏻
Sugar Cube … I dig it!
Kilo 😂
🤣
This truck reminds me of that Movie White Line Fever
Perfect name! 👍
Thank you Bruce for just fixing up the cabover. I hope we can see some more of it :)
3306's are good little engines. had one in a little 379 daycab and we ran it hard.
Check to see if you have 12 volts going in and out of the switch on the dash,then move down to the switch on the injector pump,you should have 12 volts on one side with the switch on,with the throttle at idle you should see 12 volts in and out,then move up to the plugs on the side of the rocker box.very simple system,if you have 12 volts all the way to the rocker box than the Jake solenoids are bad or stuck from sitting.they run on oil pressure and it's common for a truck that sits for those to stick.
Dude, with it having a wet kit you could use a lowboy now, actually make some money with it and be able to buy and sell a larger variety of equipment. Think of all the possibilities. 3306 is legendary, was used in dozers and all types of heavy equipment. Such an awesome truck.
Chrome it out, Straight Pipe Duel Stacks, LED LIGHTS EVERYTHING
That's a lovely looking White-GMC/Autocar! Congrats on that purchase man, I hope you'll keep her in good shape
So difficult to say. Yeah, she would look good with some new accessories, but at the same time, that original look is AWESOME. I think you could add a little without being too over the top. Maybe some chrome wheels and definitely new tires but I would leave her largely as is.
That’s a good, solid truck Bruce! You could use it for a backup heavy haul, but appears it doesn’t have a/c so you may want to add one of those rooftop mount units sir. That ole 3306 CAT 🐱 sounded great!
He definitely needs to add an air conditioner
Very good looking truck,in your place I put a slippery cab because it’s a good truck with low mileage. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely pristine. Great find there Bruce!
You found yourself a good one Bruce.
That thing is beautiful....dont beat on it and ruin it like most of the stuff you get your hands on ....too nice to beat up !!!!
That is a sweet truck!! Aluminum wheels and bumper for sure👍👍
It's your truck to do with what you like. That said, the older you get the more likely your tastes will change and original will Rule😁. Leave it as is and love it for what it is, is my suggestion.
13 speed swap it and put her to work. Sweet find man!!
It's governed to only do 60 mph because it was a military truck you can change that easy
My guy I’m super hyped for you just enjoy it it’s your blank slate my guy I’ve watched you since like Wayback in the day when you first started on the Air Force Cabover and then everything happened so you had to take a break just enjoy the truck and do what you want with it👍
Just glad your gonna give the freight shaker some love
Hell the wet kit is probably worth 10,000 .
Use it for your local tractor deliveries. That cat 3306 is a 270 or 300 up. Bullet proof long lasting engines.
He’s got a ramp truck or a goose neck trailer for local delivery’s
I agree with the other comments. Use it for local-short haul deliveries. Maybe aluminium wheels and tanks, but other then a good tune up nothing else is needed.
This is a great cabover to go nuts on. I would leave it blacked out. Get dark tint all around with black visor and big black bumper. I am looking forward to whatever you do Sir. Always great to see what you do. Be safe out there.
Just add it to the fleet and do local deliveries and look really cool
I say new matching tires, and leave it all original. Looks great as is!
I say at these prices leave well enough alone...Right? Right...
Love the white rims! I feel like it brings it all together!
I would keep it the way it is and add an equipment trailer behind it. Put a couple of tractors on it and display it at truck events to promote your business. Park that baby out front so to capture the attention of people passing by. It would be your original show truck.
*New Cabover Name*
White Lightning
Yo bruce, you know as soon as s Tim gentry finds out you got this he's gunna try to buy it from you 😂😂
@George Jones yeah they do lol tim was just talking bout Bruce the other day in a video about a wheel loader...there both TH-cam stars just Tim is a little bigger and has a lot more to film and talk about....Bruce will get there eventually
YESSSS! CABOVER CONTENT!
With the new addition to the family. You have a great tow vehicle for a toy hauler.
I wouldn't ruin that truck for a tractor pull it's too nice to do that with
What a gem bro wowwww this is sweet, looks just like new what a huge find, now i think you should keep it the way it is, as stock as can be just do maintenence, new tires... because you will not loose on value and any original truck is more valuable than a modified One.
The White Motors corp. made these and they were called Road commander. The conventional was the Road boss. We used to call them "Slab cab" or "Cherry picker". Complete different sensation driving one..lol. Nice find bud!
On jakes its usually micro switches on inj pump for throttle and clutch petal to disingage. Cool truck id just run it as it is maybe a wrap with pictures of equipment you sell
Get new tires on it, and get it inspected and plated.
Cracker Box! 👍
Change the wheels and change the fuel tanks out, definitely spray some lithium grease on the driver side door. Go through the fluids and check all belts and hoses etc.... . Definitely use for hauling your toys like Flat Nasty the side by side or even picking tractors.
She look good to be over 30 years old my pops will love it
damn that thing is mint for a old WHITEGMC WHS. Definitely a rare find, and yeah in 81 Volvo took over WHITE too form Volvo WHITE. Which then led in 86 to them acquiring GMs heavy truck rights forming WHITEGMC and then to now with it being strictly Volvo.
Hell yeah, the White Motor Company was a very interesting company in the way it kept forming unions to stay alive.
Stacks, bumper and wheels would look awesome on that bird! Nice find Bruce 👌
No it wouldn’t. He doesn’t need to ruin a low mileage old day cab.
@@mintyman1968 its not "ruined" you can always put the stock parts on it if you want to...
@@realkilju He’d just throw them away like he did with blue collar. Drill new holes and whatever for all the garbage and you have to fill those if you take it off.
@@mintyman1968 How is that ruining it?? You could always put those old wheels back on it and the bumper.
@@mintyman1968 drill new holes for what? Bumper, stacks and wheels all bolt on!
Super clean day cab but I'm thrilled to hear that you decided to fix up blue collar instead of taking the tractor pull route!
Those 3306 cats are unkillable. Easy to maintain too. Plus they sound insane with a straight pipe. This will be an amazing truck
Man I love the sound of this thing. Why would anyone straight pipe it? quiet and smooth I think its perfect the way it is. I guess most people haven't been in an 8820 John Deere combine or 4020 tractor where the engine is right next to you, it gets old pretty fast.
Never gets old! And I've been on Tugs with 16cyl EMDs and twin 8v92 Detroits!
20 years on 12cyl 710 EMD locos your right it NEVER gets old
@@paulobrien7209 we had a tug with twin 12-645
@@Drew_379 we still have a few older locos with 12 645s most reliable engine of them all...
@@paulobrien7209 I always hear that about the 645
Keep the wet kit, it will come in handy.
What is a wet kit, and what does it do?
@@POTUS1126 It a hydraulic option needed on many trailers such as heavy roll back, landol and tilt backs.
Looks like a Volvo front end. Volvo are popular lorries in the UK. Looks sweet. White Collar and Blue Collar
I'd used to drive a 1980 White but I had a sleeper cab over 13 spd with 400, that's a great looking trk!
That truck would be a good candidate for a flatbed or rollback style bed for doing your local pickups and delivery's, or use it to pull your big gooseneck and save the wear and tear on your pickup.
It looks like it was never used 😳
Bruce, AWESOME Find in that COE White, can't wait to see how you pimp it out. Yes it's made by Volvo, Volvo bought GMC Trucks in 88 - 89.
Man that's cool! We have a few garbage trucks like that but they're all beat up. That's an old school working truck, I'd leave it exactly how it is!
Do all the wheels
Full fenders
Take off wet tank and put on deck plate
Just do simple things to spruce it up and it will look great just don’t overdo it
For the reason it’s in such good shape
Why on earth would you take such a nice old truch and tear it up sled pulling with it
Among other things, I’d say definitely go ahead and repaint the motor! Nice find Bruce!! 👍👌
What a diamond. Don’t run across deals like that many times in one’s life. Air intake moved to the middle with twin stacks slashcuts. Paint the tanks white with polished straps. Bumper visor lights another air horn white deck plate
