I like your hobbies, I use to do cars boats and buses as a hobby. I’m disabled Now. Your work is a way for me to still mentally active and I enjoy your videos your lucky to have a wife that supports you and your work thanks for sharing your time with me
Appreciate you being part of the channel James
It’s positive ground. I promise. That’s why the heater hose was wrapped around negative wires in case it rubbed through.
Gotta love that dash! No frills, just what you need to get the job done and nothing more. No neon-lit chrome plated diamond studded ball scratcher that's linked to a computer. And, if the ball scratcher's sensor is out of alignment, the truck won't start but to determine it, you need a 5000-dollar scanner to read the codes to order a new 900-dollar sensor. LOL! Sometimes simplicity is beautiful, all you need for that truck is some hand tools, a few air tools, a test light, and maybe a multimeter and you can fix 99.9% of it. It's one of your coolest videos to me, I haven't seen one of those on the road since I was a kid in the 70s. and 80s. I'd also love to see you rescue or do a will-it start on an old F model Mack cabover. I remember them running a lot of roads back then too.
I agree simple
Is best.
Hi from France ,i've just finished working a 12 hour day behind the wheel of a 3 year old european truck,automatic gearbox,power steering,electric windows etc (you got the picture) and i'm exhausted,man those blokes back in the old days were really some-thing,i'd imagine their days were longer,probably froze to death in winter and just roasted in summer,no power steering, double clutch (easier changing gears without it),the tyres (tires) weren't the best back then,man...respect...
Great chanel.
Appreciate ya
I started out in a white in 1976 for 2 years then went to a mack superliner in 1979 then a Pete cab over till I got a 359 Pete then a Kw cab over till I retired from trucking in 1996 due to health issues. I still love trucks and miss driving.
Nice bunch of trucks you drove. Appreciate ya watching the channel
Have a good day Jearl thanks for your input
Thank You Sir I grew fond of most of them. It was a great life back then
@@jearladams5870 Can you imagine this White with Budd wheels ,a 1693ta, about a 200 inch wheel base? O M G. They were pretty easy to get in and out of. I really dug that truck. No air seats
That’s a good find they look like the ford w1000 of same vintage my dad had a ford when I was young keep thinking I’ll find one to fix up
Rite on! Appreciate ya watching
That's probably one of the coolest old trucks I've ever seen
I agree when I saw it I was like, oh ya I Gotta have that one for sure.
I am amazed at all of the great trucks you find. Keep up the great work! I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks Rob
He said in one video he found a stash of trucks somewhere
I think you got you work cut out for you on that baby. Good luck I'll try and catch up with jou soon.
Very nice find James! A rare one for sure, can’t wait for part two…
Thanks Bruce.
That White 7000 is equipped with Hendrickson rubber block walking beam suspension. That is for some heavy hauling! That truck was a beast back in its day.
It’s super neat and different for me I’ve never seen one
@@JamesPretty Used to see them a lot back in the 1970's.
I never thought a 250 was a beast
Great find, hard to believe there are so many abandoned trucks.
I know. Just in a small area I have access to twenty
Drove these in the 70ds with a belly dump and hauled freight to concord nc. Shiny 290 10 speed
Nice. Appreciate ya watching Mark
Haven't seen one of these in a long time. Known as the "Japanese freightliner". Love your content brother!
Thanks for watching I appreciate ya
I think this truck is positive ground, the 1965 7400 that my dad had was positive ground. I love all your trucks especially the KW cabovers. I would love to find my 83 KW that I bought in 82!
Could be. I’m going to do some digging but definitely a rewire and different starter
@@JamesPretty WHITES , Autocars, Western Stars.. all in the same family were common to have positive ground. Im building the Autocar back negative ground. the wiring in the cab im using was robbed (along with the air lines. The copper thieves thought they were wiring also) So I have to rewire and plumb everything.
That thing is beautiful!
Thanks Hank
Well they do say "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder"
Seriously though, love these White trucks, Autocar, Oshkosh ... well pretty much all older trucks that were sold in the Mens Section, none of these unisex trucks like nowadays, theres more makeup on them then function anymore . Cheers .
Rite on. Appreciate ya
I think that truck is positive ground, whites up into the mid 70s were positive grounds but I don't remember how positive ground works
Ya I believe this is not positive ground but I will be getting a closer look once the cab is up. It used to be 24v but he changed it over
Cant wait for episode 2. Love to hear it come to Life.
Me too I need a win
Another gem in the trees can't wait for part 2 stay safe James and Jessica.
Thanks Richard
White 7000 (NOT a 4000)-series cabover…rare bird these days. Also known colloquially as a “Japanese Freightliner”….heck of a find!
Rite on. Appreciate ya watching
7000 series
@@mintyman1968 I just noticed that I typed “4000” instead of “7000”….good catch.
Is it 7000 or 7400? The Road Commander may have been the 7400. I think this model was better looking than the Road Comode
@@andrewnorris1514 Road Commander was the road commander. No seperate model. This is a 7400, part of the 7000 series
Great find James. My first tractor was a 65 White 7400. That truck had a 250 Cummins with a 12 speed Spicer transmission, also known as a Chinese nightmare. That truck had a low doghouse making it easy to get in the bunk and the steering wheel was in a very comfortable position. I'm excited to see the progress on this one. Thanks for keeping this old owner operator involved in your ventures.
Thanks Fred appreciate ya
James you found a cool truck hopefully you get her back to the shop and start rebuilding. You have quite a few projects now.
Ya I have about 4 years work I suppose
The old Iconic COE's can't beat the look of them.
Agree
The trucks you have deserves your attention need two life times to finish they're very good and will only be done by you but also very time consuming say no to this one champion or you end up in rehab
Oh I’m already into it. And several more lol
All man thought you were going to get her to go well anyway looking forward to part 2
Thanks Wallace
It's amazing that after so many years they still start!
This is what real American quality means 👍
For sure it’s awesome
Hahaha! After that second arc “that’s really fu….” fun yeah fun that’s it! 😂
Hahaha
Hey brother you just keep finding these gems what a beauty your definitely living the dream.
Thanks bro. I appreciate ya watching
What a gorgeous piece of machinery
Heck ya it is
Another great series about to start.You know how to find them and keep great content coming.can’t wait for the next video to pop up all the very best to your self and Jessica.
More to come! appreciate ya being part of the channel
james welcome to the world of white cabover she looks good and and looks like has potential great find congratulation on the find
Thanks John. I secured the purchase this morning so it’s official. New video coming either Wednesday or Sunday

Thanks I appreciate ya being part of the channel
That is a beautiful old truck James thank you and the wife and the guys that help you do what your doing and keeping it real. those trucks are important👍
Thanks I appreciate ya watching
Back in the Days living in Germany I only found GI'S in the woods... O Boy James only two more to go and you have to find a photographer for the calendar shoot.👍👍 lovely truck.. hope the power washing videos come soon on her. 😁😁 Great Video as always. Cheers
It’s gonna be a little while before I get it out of the woods.
I had a 1969 white at 250 Cummins in it that was pretty good old truck though
Rite on. Appreciate ya watching Dave
Betty ( White) would be a great name. i am amazed that you can find parts..
We’ll see
Appreciate ya watching and commenting
That was someone's custom ride back in the day. That diaphragm air seat is rare!
Ya I’ve never seems one before. Now it’s mine ;)
Now that a classic, excellent find.
Thank you. I think so too
That one was really popular when I was growing up. Bowman Transport had lots of them running line haul. I really hope you get this one running. Ive got to come see this one.
New video coming tomorrow afternoon
That’s old school trucking right there.
Rite on. Appreciate ya Todd
Hellow James an Jessica hope you both are well good luck with the old white be care full see y'all soon buddy
Thanks Tommy
Cool old truck looks like a fun one
I want to drive it
Awesome truck glad to see someone restoring old trucks. I wish you could have gotten Bruce Wilson w900 before he destroyed it
Appreciate ya watching
The jump box cart I use at work has 2 d9 series battery's and a fuel tank with a transfer pump. Cranks the most Angry motors.
Haha cool fleet keeps growing, look forward to your next episode
Thanks sean
Cool looking truck love the old iron
Me too Billy
Good looking old truck brother.
They don't make them that way anymore
That’s for sure bro. Appreciate ya watching
Hi James well I’m guessing a new truck. Hopefully it’s not locked up. Could be positive ground like a lot of the other comments are saying. Looks like a puzzling wiring harness to figure out. Hopefully that is like a 400cummins be hard to tell till you tilt the cab. Stay safe
Thanks Darren. Appreciate ya
I know this sounds weird, but imagine Chip Foose having a hand in working on restoring some of your trucks. Why I say that is an interview he says that Overhaulin' was suppose to be about repairing everything from appliances vehicles (trucks) and boats but because of the nature of TV and production they had to have a marketable hook for the audience so it was cars as that was Fosses' main area of expertise. SHOCK SUBSIDES. So any way imagine you two getting together to pull that White Cabover and restoring it or customizing it to run again. Just sayin.
Would be awesome for sure. I love chip foose
Good video again you sure can fine them good Cab over my friend my dad driven one this like that one back in the 80s that is another good truck looking forward more videos on it be safe have a good night
Thanks glenn. Appreciate ya
Hi James, Jessica nice to see jess helping you,that is a nice find she is a beauty love the old truck I think they have a great look about them all you have to do is name her,that was a tricky job trying to get her to see if she would start look forward to the next video hopefully she starts, take care stay safe 😊❤️
Thanks Lionel
Another great video James can't wait for the next part
Appreciate ya
@@JamesPretty hey more power to you for putting the great videos out there I'm sure we all appreciate it more than you realise 👌
Very cool find James
Thanks bro
One of my favorite cabovers 👍
Nice. It’s becoming one of mine for real
O-H-I-O Porters here.🇺🇸 They called that the Japanese Cabover or something like that, model 7000? I remember my dad looking at one out in the country when I was a boy. It had a Cummins. The guy had purchased a new rig & was selling it. My dad & brother looked it over & decided that it wasn’t the truck they wanted. I was hoping he would change his mind. I always liked the look of that cabover. I had only seen a few of them though. You sure found one that had been wired up in a weird manner & also had a shorted starter & such. 🧐 Nothing like crawling under one to trace the wires. Hey, isn’t this still snake season? Those jumper boxes are rather cool, but I think having some batteries is still the way to go. Don’t those boxes require a battery for some reason? But it would be nice to just roll a cart of batteries up, jump a wire or two & then be able to fire the engine up! 😳 Is it ever that easy? I worked on my cabover for some time before I found the culprit wire. It happens. Sorry that you have to make another trip out with a starter & heavy equipment to install tires & such. This has been a …Will It Start Take 1..fail. 😔 But you’ll be better prepared next time. So did you already buy this truck? You did say truck # 10. WOW! I’m quite behind the times, but it’s not really a competition now is it. My neighbors would be quite annoyed if I got more trucks on my property. Wait, they already ARE, but I really don’t give a sneeze! I already have 2 more coming. That’s our secret. Well, at least you had some helpers & makes a big difference!🤩 This will be one nice truck to save. Are you trying to be the TRUCK KING 👑 of your area? Nothing wrong with that. 😎 I’m always eager to see what you’re doing. Take care. 🥰😎✌️
Ya it’s ok that some times it take two or three trips to get one running and bring it home. Yes I’ve secured the purchase on this one and number 11 as well. Appreciate ya bro
@@JamesPretty 🇺🇸 Number 10 & 11 already.🤩Hey, you’re doing your part in keeping the old trucks around & I appreciate that! You never know what to expect when working on these old trucks…wiring, parts, etc. I guess this one had a bad starter as well. Hope that you have plenty of decent tires & wheels so you can maybe even drive this one home. It’s good that you have a buddy with a wrecker. I have a buddy with a gooseneck trailer. I bet the tire shop loves you, since you buy quite a few tires, new & used. 🥰 I appreciate what you do! I’m glad you saved the Ford. I bought my brother’s CL9000 & hope to get it home soon. Blessings my friend.🥰😎✌️
Nice .. and everyone needs a Willey
Ya they do
Holy moly! You gotta bring that to macungie, that is one of the only ones with the big truck horns n not the girly ones. I see a Kenworth k123 in the corner. If take off the side covers if I were you
Rite on Parker. Some day maybe I’ll take it there
Looking forward to the next episode. Could be 12/24 system could also be positive ground. On top post batteries The negative is slightly smaller so you can look at the terminal end on the cables and determine which is which. there are designated + - ends but usually who ever installed the ends put universal ends on so the negative end will have the bolt tightened all the way down and the ends of the clamp will be touching . No room to put a screw driver in between the ends to pry them apart. You might be able to determine if it's a positive ground that way. If the cable with the terminal that is tightened down all the way goes to the starter it's positive ground. Large end with space between the ends to ground for positive ground.
Ya it used to be 24v start which they deleted. That guy there with me is the guy that did the changeover 40 years ago.
@@JamesPretty Great video.Im glad that you have always said you love these Beautiful trucks. All this work makes you love em more and more. James Orphanage
Cool 😎 that you found an older rig to redo...
Thanks Tom
Good morning lol Jessica already picking on you lol good luck looking forward to watching
Good morning
looks like a lot of work man. stay with it
It is. But I enjoy it. Appreciate ya
Great video I hate wiring problem's but looks like you and Jessica got this
Thanks garry
You got to love his patience
I agree love the look of this old truck
Thanks Jeremy
Wouldn't it look great with a 3406?
Hey James it possible that old white might be positive ground,
It is possible will be digging in further
That's 30 minutes of my life I can't get back!
Lol
james buddy. That's a rare one ! Hope ya save it. Far and few nowadays. if theirs any old brockway or macks out there lets see them!
None unfortunately
@@JamesPretty Well that says something! Last i know there used to be a N457-T Brockway cabover in Ohio.
God Bless You James and your wife..esposa
Thanks Ruben
I've seen this a lot lately a lot of trucks are just parked in people's backyards or up near the tree line and there's grass grown around them. It's happening again. Is nice truck.
Thanks Joshua. Appreciate ya
Man I would love to drive for you it would be so killer to drive one of those beautiful cabovers let me know I'm available lol keep up the good work some of the best videos on CZcams
Thanks mike I’ll post something when I start getting trucks on the road
@@JamesPretty absolutely would do it in a heartbeat
i was reasontly willed a military duel axle semi with fold up hood from my moms will.I gave it to my best friend from church its huge and ftom like the 60s.hes got it in a poleshed now it starts right up but its 45 on highway but its a monster leaf sprngs upside down and stuff lots of them.its like a early 60s model its old.i gave it to him because when i needed help he shoved the world to help me and thats a guy you dont do wrong!.and he loves old military trucks hes got 6 now.he has a 79 western star long nose dumptruck duel axle i forgot he had it.. saw it in woods hasnt moved in years that thing is sexy looking but nature is taking it over its surrounded by tall thickets and trees.i did see the chrome cans like a pete had still looks pretty good
Rite on that’s cool. Appreciate ya watching
From France 🇫🇷 Super 👌 vidéo 👍
Thanks a bunch. Appreciate y
@@JamesPretty 👍 😉 🚛
Mine was a positive ground one of my head to 69 White
Right on. I’ll get the cab up and see what’s what
Cool KW battery box. Very proud of your efforts. My first over the road tractor was this model 7400. Smokin Chokin 250 cummins. These Whites were better than Fords,Chevys,GMC's,Dodges,Freightliner. She had the big 22 inch Sheller steering wheel. The 250 was light-years better than the 238's we had.
Nice. You’re the first one to recognize the kw battery box
Welcome Bruce Wilson to the channel
Wish I had a wood lot that would produce some of these beautiful old trucks...awesome iron
Haha I know I got super lucky to find it
You have quite the collection..I had an opportunity to see a Marmon in person that was for sale ..and was trying to make a deal on it but was out of my reach..sure was interesting to fo over it and was a running unit....they sure were built to last...enjoy your video.s...and you have a great crew to help..
@@edvisser3629 thx Ed
Another great video from you all . I wish that the truck had started, but you weren't able to get the stater to even turn and that's the way that it is sometimes . I don't understand why that people don't mark each individual wire . I am an electrician ( that's the main thing that I went to school for anyway ) but I do all kinds of construction work and run a lot of different kinds of heavy equipment also . But to get back to the wires, I carry red and white and green tape with me all the time that I use to mark wires, I have other colors also and I even have numbered tape , so I always mark wires when I am working on stuff, whether it's AC or DC . And then if someone comes along behind me or if I have to come back to work on something it makes it so much easier to see what is going on . I get a lot of comments from people about how neat that my electrical work is, I even have pictures of some of my work on display at a vocational school and they tell new students that this is how that everybody's work should look like . One of my biggest ( pet peeves ) that I have complaining about some people's work is that they cut their wires to short, sometimes it just is long enough to go from point A to point B or they may have allowed just enough to be a tad bit more than from point A to B, but they didn't allow enough for in the future to
ya I agree I try to use red wire for positive cables whenever possible.. on some of these old trucks I gotta assume there once was extra cable but had to sacrifice it for one reason or another.
You two work good togethet!
She’s pretty amazing
Very intresting, very beautiful truck!) sory for my english)
Thank you. I appreciate ya
good job james
thanks David.
Omg I just started the video and stopped ✋its so cool 😎 just had to say that lol 😆
Thanks Bob
Great lorry....no way your driving that home!.....but if anyone can it's you😆
We’ll see we’ll see we’ll see ;)
Wish I had friends like you I love cab over the k100 is my favorite
Come down and be my friend
habra un segundo episodio Mr James Pretty ?...to be continued ?
Yes to be continued
OK OK I now know your certifiably NUTZ James!! You have the most wonderful collection of Ladies in your driveway! They all want your attention and abilities to get them back to their Beauty and Glory of years past!! You now need a guest room in Bellevue Hospital ! I hope you don't hurt their feelings by bringing the White home! But I know the fever you have, and the disease that you've got. It has only one cure! So keep on the march! I make these statements in JEST and pure Admiration of your cause for vintage trucks buddy!!
Hahaha I believe I’ve acquired 5 more trucks lately
There's one just like that sitting in the woods not far from me, sky blue and white in color, Cummins 250 or 290 I think. When I first discovered it on a sunny day in the winter a few years ago with snow on the ground, it blended right in. I had to get up quite close before I realized there was a truck sitting there! To my knowledge though it isn't for sale, too bad. It would be so nice if it could be restored.
Get it Dwight. Save it
@@JamesPretty Sadly it's not for sale. So I guess I'll have to just watch the progress you'll make with this one.
James, your addiction to cab overs is as bad as my addictions to brunets
hahaha nice Morgan.
@@JamesPretty My first serious girlfriend was a redhead... I called her sparky. I went to nam an was there about a year an a half. She joined the army wac's cause she thought she would find me.. instead I found her in a damn body bag.... I sure do love a redhead but bad memories leave me screaming in the night... so I just flirt with those pretty ones... like the one you found... she is just as pretty as a speckled puppy. I wish the two of you many many years of collecting those drafty old cabovers. My brother Larry owned and drove one he got from JB Hunt... we drove that old fuel squeezer all over the west coast.. he had a brain aneurysm, I lost him one night just outside of Roseburg... haven't set my fanny in one of them either. I do know where one of the first cabover KW's is parked, been some time since I looked at it but figure it was in fair shape considering its been parked for thirty... forty years .. if your ever up in alaska, I can take you to it
@@morgansword I come to anchorage all the time but that’s as far as I get. It’s funny I tell Jessica’s she’s cuter than a Speckled pup all the time.
awesome stuff yu find out in them woods .keep keepin .and good to see yu two haven smiles together. be safe .AND you know who yes ohio voodoo till next time..
Rite on brother
That truck was 24v start 12v run pos. ground I know he said it was converted to 12v I would try and find tag on starter with mirror if needed to verify. My 74 White Road Boss was 12v POS ground. Beings I'm 0ver 70 I know how memory goes lol Also probably a 250 Cummins or maybe a 335?
I’ll look for a tag. He’s a pretty smart guy and drove that truck personally for 10
Years I’m going to swap out the starter
And rewire it and see what happens
That is so cool the old owner is helping you
Woahhh there buddyy
A multimeter could save you a lot of time on these projects, being able to bell out the cables without the guesswork.
Yep I never think about bringing one. Once I build my recovery vehicle it’ll have all the necessary crap onboard. This particular instance it wouldn’t have helped because the solenoid was shorted so positive and negative were touching literally
Lol OMG James you never fail to amaze me. With you shit I can't have a favorite truck. Because I love ALL you're trucks. Jessica James you two are freaking incredible love u guys 👋
Thanks Ramon
lol you and these old trucks like me and old Chryslers we just can't walk away from them i have 15 of them every time i see one i have to have it
Hahaha it’s crazy addictive
What's app Mr James)) 🤝 I'm glad to see you and new truck) him great 👍 Thanks for your video)

Nice one James enjoying all your efforts and watching your video's, even though I know nothing about trucks. Matt B K4.
Appreciate ya watching
Sorry, but I accidentally hit the send button before I was done . They didn't allow enough extra wire to cut the ends off and put new ends on or to allow in case that the wire connection gets corroded and you have to cut off, back a few inches of damaged wire to get good wire to make a new connection . I always allow about 10" to 12" of extra wire on the outside of a junction box and at least 8" on each wire inside of a junction box and if I have room to, allow more extra wire maybe another foot or so . I have seen people before that had the wires stretched so tight that there was not even a 1/4 inch of extra wire and that is crazy and then if something happens it makes it so much harder to fix . I am a big fan of using corrosion grease on (connections that should be) and especially on aluminum wires . And I use a lot of regular heat shrink and then marine heat shrink for wet and damp locations to help with corrosion . For numerous years ago with everything else that I do, I repaired car wash equipment and kitchen and laundry appliances and on several occasions worked on the wiring on big trucks and then also fixed trailer wiring hookups on them or wiring on the trailers .
I will see you all later and I am looking forward to seeing part 2 of this video seeing what happens with this truck.
Take care and stay safe out there working on the trucks .
