- Kevin of G. Young Trucking & Son is driving around the truck show in his beautiful '84 Freightliner cab-over. The 8V92 Detroit Diesel under the hood...ah, I mean cab, gave this truck even more character. This was one of my favorite trucks at the show. Shot at the Truckin' For Kids Truck Show at Irwindale, California on October 7th, 2012.
Some folks say those Detroits convert diesel fuel to noise. One mans noise is another mans music, and those Detroits make the sweetest music to my ears! Thanks for showing!
Hahaha...I've heard that too. Right, to each his own.
Classic for sure. When I heard/saw this beauty coming into the show there was no way I was going to miss getting it on video. Thanks for watching.
Best looking truck in my trucking years,
This one especially is a looker to me. 👍
The two-stroke engines are my favorite.
Best sounding engine ever.
Thanks for watching. This was easily my favorite cab-over at the show. Classic Freight Shaker COE, nice old school paint scheme, looong chassis, killer engine, good amount of chrome in all the right places... I loved it!
love Detroit engines with a passion i used to drive rigs like this
+trainman071 no u didnt
Man I love them freight shaker cabovers.....that one is the first year of the shifter mounted on the doghouse..... with an 8v92... that would be a fun truck to drive.... drove many some old ones with a 4x4 two stick.... but man they would pound the ship out of you.... that's one reason they don't make me anymore.....
Within the realm of the big rig, thats the best sound in the world.
Nice driving tractors, had one in real early 80 with a mechanical 400 Cummins- .444 diffs, it sure flattened out the hills in Oregon on I-5.
That's a bad ass C.O.E all it needs is a Large Bumper!!!!
keep on trucking i remember those rigs i use to see them alot up & down the highway when i use to go to work with my dad..my pops drove for p&r trucking hauling steel & containers they was nice chrome out truckss
A classic, I miss seeing the cabovers on the road.
Just beautiful!!! Love me sum cab-overs!
Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I thought I was lucky too. I would've liked this truck no matter what brand of engine it was running, it really is beautiful, but that it had that Detroit made it even more of a head turner. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful 😍
Awesome truck, awesome engie
I'm in Austin, Texas and that freightliner just drove by the jobsite sound pretty good
Oh, that's cool! You're lucky you got to see it. I'd love to see it again.
@@espeescotty yes sir I have watched his other videos before that's why I recognized the truck plus that 2 stroke Detroit.
@@abdonmorales7361 Good looking and listening out!
Thats a beautiful truck! thanks for sharing.
Thank You ! the work shows wow
Nice truck. My dad uses to drive these.
When I saw the colors, thought it was a KOT truck and sure as heck it is. Used to be leased into them and hauled steel between Utah and California. Their terminal in Antioch California is now an empty lot. Was picking up machinery across the street from where they used to be and was a little sad to see it gone. Spent more than one night hiding from the parking Nazi down there. Well, times change and a line haul truck is now a great looking show truck. Used to own a 12V53 up in Alaska, coolest sound in the world to hear that air start kick that thing to an idle in nothing flat.
I never did actually hear this rig start-up, but if it did have air start, man, that would have been the icing on the cake! It's too bad about KOT, but at least a few of their trucks are still around in their old paint scheme looking good .
espeescotty I don't think KOT trucks had air start. The one I had in Alaska did. Coolest sound ever a Detroit with air start.
Robert Palmore man you would've loved my family, Allen Coal in Phillipstown NY, they had all Brockways and GMC Generals from the 70's on (before that they had Federals, and Fords and Brockways) and all of them were Detroit powered, mostly 12V71's but a few 318's (6V53) and the Generals were 8V71's
The Unforgotten 318 is 8v71. Is 318hp not 318 ci
Thanks!
love that sound
Awsome rig😉
Sounds just like the Maximum Overdrive truck!
Love the twin breather stacks w/ the bonnets. IMHO a cabover isn't a cabover unless it has a breather stack behind the cab
Awesome truck
Vittorio Petrina
Of the
Awesome
THAT truck right there is Just the Way I licked them in the 80’s... I mean “Loved” them. 👍😍😜😎
Yes this was Beavers truck. Trailers then we're all 40 or 45 foot long. Long wheelbase to haul 60 foot steel beams. This way you could put 10 foot over the front of the trailer to not be overloaded. There yard in Wilmington had bud Weiser come out of the 7 up machine. They always ran heavy from long beach 206 harbor. Talking 54K 56K so about 3500 over gross.
Magnifique 👍🚛🤩
NICE
Esa chata era de la compania keep on trucking de wilmington ca en aquellos anos luego se fueron a cucamonga ca y asta la fecha
Oh to be a blinker fluid salesman again.
Hahahaha.....Funny!
It is nice...
Tienen una terminal en oakland ca y otra en el puerto de stockton ca yo trabaje como oner operator para ellos por muchos anos y si asi es muy buena compania y si asi es
As a non-trucker, what is the reason I don't seem to see cab-overs much anymore?
Originally what made them popular were the strict "length laws" that were common across many states, where combined tractor and trailer lengths had to be within a given amount. To maximize cargo space and be able to run as much trailer as could be fit into that given length, the cabs of the trucks were pushed as far forward as possible -- over the engines in most cases. Often that went with as short of a frame as possible on the tractors too. Since the 1980's, many of those very strict length laws were eased quite a bit and the cabovers have become less needed and less popular. I'm not a truck driver either, but I've heard that COE's ride rougher than conventionals and the "doghouse" that covers the engine in the cab takes up quite a bit of cab space right between the seats. But another drawback is that when work need to be done on the engines or the front suspension, the cab has to be tilted forward up out of the way, so all the loose items in the cab goes tumbling into the front. And then there is also the safety factor. There isn't much crash protection in these trucks. All of these reasons have kind of killed the COE in America for over the road trucking at least.
@@espeescotty thank you for the excellent explanation.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
What do they call that headache rack/deck? That’s behind the cab? This truck is absolutely beautiful and I absolutely love the sound of that Detroit diesel.
I don't know who builds that headache/deck or what it's called, but it is cool, especially for steel haulers. That's what Kevin was hauling at the time I shot this. And that sure is a throwback sound to trucking's glory days.
So i guess that the cabover my uncle has is even older than this one since it has the round headlights instead of rectangular. Too bad its been sitting in the backyard for the last 20 years.
you dont see many cab overs any more. anyone know why ?
Truck length laws allowed longer trucks
Drivers prefer bullnose as they are more comfortable i.e. you'renot sitting directly above the engine & front wheels . Been in one, an INTERNATIONAL, REMEMBER it being high & huge .
Torrey Ellison I always wondered, as a young kids in the early 90s they were everywhere. A good 50/50 between coe and longnose. I guess by the 2000s they started disappearing.
What is the wheel base on that?
Just enough.
Went to a vocational school 3-yrs to be a diesel and truck much.
Started drinking em in 93.
Always liked Detroits until I started driving truck.
No bottom end pulling power and I got hearing loss from them screaming bitches.
Still like em to a point but if I had to drive one again I'd quit.
As far as cabovers ?
Just Beautiful. But my neck and back hates em.
Some were better than others but not as comfortable as a 99-I International with air ride and a juiced up C-15 or 3406-B and a 13/15 speed Fuller
10-4
Woops i meant engine
oh fuck? it's awesome truck
very clean burning engine?
+Fleur Black ...nope...the EPA is why they are no longer around...the electronic injection low rpm Fuel Squeezers still couldn't cut it...so they are gone...now the locomotive versions...the EMD 2 cycles are done too in this country...again...thanks to the EPA...a shame...they are a great piece of engineering from the 1930s...
sexy
