Cabovers, Cabovers and more Cabovers!
Throttle Power - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Going down the road or at a show, It's always a joy to see a Cabover! 🙂 👍
I love cabovers! It's so cool when you see one still out on the road. It's becoming a rare sight though
@@davidtoups4684 I agree David!
I drove an international cabover delivering auto parts for Toyota, Mazda in the northeast Boston to Buffalo, VT, ME, I loved, a sleeper, comfortable, very maneuverable, I had to squeeze in some tight spots. I've driven millions of miles. Retired.
Aaaaaaa very cool John, now those were the good ol days!!!!
I really do miss those days,loud and hot in the summer,but just something about them makes me nostalgic
So true Robert!!!
You may have hated them when you drove them but they still hold a special place and time in my heart
So true Terry
That's a, Awesome beautiful 352 Peterbilt Cabover Truck Me personally If I had, the money I would buy my own Cabover Truck
It sure is Jason!
Finally, someone filming something different! Thank the cabover God's!!!!!
Oh yea, love the Cabovers!!!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Nice To See Orwell Included!
👍 👍 🙂
I freakin love cabovers. My grandpa drove one for Carolina freight pulling doubles and triples for many yrs. Thanks for this one Timmy. I still need to get my hands on the old amt Budweiser cabover kit.
A Carolina Freight model build would be cool!!!!!
Cabovers are amazing and awesome show Tim ❤
Yes they are Shawn! 🙂
Cabovers are my favorite 🤩 👍
Me too............... 🙂
Love the. Cab overs I had a few when I was. Trucking retired after. 57. Years still have my. Class. One just picking part time. Work
Yes, the Cab overs are really cool Earl. I miss seeing them on the road and in TV shows. I like to watch older TV shows because that's all you see are Cab overs.
Beautiful truck, I love cabovers..I learned how to drive and got my class A license in 1984 drive a 1977 cabover Ford with a 350 Detroit. Trucking was still fun back then
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those corn binders!!!! That’s what I picture when I think of a cabover.
I agree!
Love the old Pete cabovers, saw America from the driver's seat years ago.fine old slow truck,I still miss it today.
Those were the good ol days in a Cabover..... So glad you enjoyed the video.
In the late seventies I was driving a GMC General ten yard dump truck when a friend of mine moved to Newport Arkansas and bought a couple of cab overs. I went down and sat in the saddle of a 1974 International cab over with a 400 Cummings with a 13 speed Fuller transmission. Driving in the mid west and south east for two years before I came back home to start my apprenticeship to be a union ironworker. I loved it and sometimes wonder if I made the right choice.
Oh wow, very cool Richard!! Man, where does the time go? I know a few Union Ironworkers and they enjoy and are very proud of their work, so I think you made the right choice. 👍🙂
Great video Tim, I don’t know which ones I like more, the polished show trucks or the road warriors showing off their battle scars. Thanks for taking us along!👍👍
Same here, they both are nice to look at! 🙂👍
Это что-то ребятишки пушка бомба
I would love to have a black and blue one of these and daily drive it, listening to you could be mine by GNR!🤘
I agree!!!!!!
Cool Trucks Tim!!! I like the black and blue one about 11 minutes in. Thanks for sharing
Yes, that is cool Mike!
Boy I love those International Transtars
I agree!
I still love
I agree Paul
Great video buddy, love them cabovers, took many a ride with my dad in the 70s in his Pete cab over. Thanks for sharing. Rick 😎✌️
Very cool Rick, so glad you enjoyed!!! 🙂 👍 😊
This was an awesome video!!

Hi Tin, another great truck show, nothingblike a good old restored US cabover truck, they look so mean and tough, Happy Easter, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍
So true Les, and Happy Easter to you too 👍 🙂
Fantastic! 👍👏👏💪💪
Thank you! 👍 So glad you enjoyed 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Saw the movie OP too
Cool and Happy New Years!! 🎉🎊
Big thumbs-up to the CABOVER ENGINE WORLDWIDE😅
I agree Derek! 👍
Definitely something you don't see very often is a cabover. But an exceptionally clean one at a show is a plus .
So very true Jonny! 🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER thanks for showing. It's the closest thing to being around these trucks. I grew up with them and got almost killed by one still doesn't stop me from looking at these massive beauties. I cant imagine cleaning these and working with same truck as a job these do. I'm sure these are not all garage queens.
@@wreckerjonny6144 Oh wow, almost got killed by one.....................
Thanks for sharing this Tim! I always forget about this show. I definitely plan on attending next year. This provides a lot of inspiration for us model truck guys. Cab overs are always a treat to see. My dad drove them back in the 90s and I have fond memories of going on runs with him.
Very cool memories to have Chris!! I think you would really enjoy MATS as it has/offers something for everyone.
Thanks for the video 👍
My pleasure!!
Great content Tim. Love those cab overs.
Thank you, me too!!! 🙂
Top NOTCH PETE !!!
👍 thumbs-UP HAND SALUTE TO ALL U CABOVER GUYS!!!!! SHINY SIDE-UP 2023 KEEPEM RUNNING.
I agree!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🙂
So true Derek 👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty rig
I love Pete's
I agree Fred
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Their all cool!
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a single K100 Aerodyne at the show?, what a bummer.
Not this year, never know what will show up from year to year.
Thats a total bummer indeed as that to me is the GOAT of all trucks even though im biased to all KWs!
Nice to see Orwell, a cabover still out there pounding the pavement, earning her keep
So true!
' WOW'' A lot of great old iron !!
I agree Michael!!
For me, who is Brazilian and saw America through TV in the 1980s, cabovers are a reference to a United States from other times.
So glad you enjoyed.
Nice
So glad you enjoyed 😉
13:26 Sup Guys, FSC Trucking!
*Orwell starts up*
👍👍👍👍
Man I used to hate cab overs that is all my Dad would own and now he is gone I have fell back in love with them.
I understand, they bring back a happy time for me too Tim!
My favorites 😄
A good favorite to have! 🙂
Magnifique vidéo 😉 👌 👍. Suoer ces czbovers j'adore. De superbes camions 🚛 🇺🇸.
Thank you Alain, I adore them too 🙂 👍
@@THROTTLEPOWEROui vraiment super 👌. En France 🇫🇷, la majorité des 🚛 Camions sont des Cabover, même dans l'Europe.
@@alaindunkerque59 I've always heard that, here, it's the opposite.
@@THROTTLEPOWEROui on trouve plus de camions avec capots au USA.🇺🇸. En Europe 🇪🇺 c beaucoup moins, peut être les normes sont différentes. Même sûrement 😅.
@@alaindunkerque59 So true Alain
Nice video, love this one 23:59
Cool, so glad you enjoyed!!
Bluegrass and Big Rigs! Who is picking? Love the trucks and music! Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words Dave, so glad you enjoyed the video!
i drove one of thm for 2 years mine was copper brown metallic same stripe design but different colors had 400 cummins 13 speed pulled linseed oil mainly tanker with it.that truck had 2 million miles on it in mid 80s was traded off never saw it again
Very cool John!!!!
😯,heaven
Oh yea!!!! 🙂👍
A green blue interior is underrated
So true Glenn!!!
I would love to own any of those cabovers IMO the IH 4070 A&B transtar's look the best
So would I, they are really cool
Can't go wrong with semi's full of chrome!
So true!
So, are these used for everyday driving? Or just for show, because I don't see tags on any of them.
A little bit of both pending on what classes they entered.
I started trucking in the mid 70s. Drove KWs , Pete's , IH , Freightliners all of which were cabovers. Unfortunately none as nice as the rigs featured in this video.
Those (mid 70's) were the good ol days of trucking!!! Man, where has the time gone????
@@THROTTLEPOWER I don't know good question. Back then I was 21yrs young now I'm pushing 70yrs old !
@@NickManCuso59 Time is going waayyyy to fast.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Ain't it the truth. Happy trails !
@@NickManCuso59 👍🙂
Puras bellezas
I agree Mariano
Love cabovers
..but hard to actually live in ...hard to get dressed in for sure ...lol
That's true!
Does anyone know what model of Cat engine that is in the first video of the cabover?. I didn't recognize that flat top valve cover like that.
Not sure Greg
Hello 4 like full video supper 25:14 ,👏👏👍🚚
Thank you 👍 🙂
Every video is better with Sam Bush andJerry Douglas in the background!
Yes!!!!
Does anyone remember the cut off bumpers on the transtar 2 you don't see those anymore 10/4
Yes!!!!!!!!! I do, in fact, when I build build one as 1/25 scale model I like to cut the bumper down.
Did anyone catch the jade cabover with the Detroit fuel filter element with the cat power??
Yes 🙂
I wish he would at least rattle can that one rusty wheel on orrville! 😂. Drives me nuts
👍👍👍👍🙂
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
😊 👍 🙂
I started out in a Transtar 2 and man she wasn't that Purdy 😮
My friends dad had a transtar. It had dayton hubs ( look like mobile home wheels) on steers and both drives. I have no idea what year it was. His dad ran it for 6 years all over the country, he eventually traded it in on a brand new pete 379 in 1995.
Very cool Dennis!!
Very cool Brian!
wonder how many of these trucks work or are they all retired.
Most of them at the show are working trucks.
They start arriving 3 or 4 days before the show starts to prep their trucks. And some will have several people helping out!
@@THROTTLEPOWER i cant imagine how hard that would be to get the frame that good. Days of degreasing and polishing sounds hardcore lol.
So very true. They work hard getting ready for the show!
Whats the price of this beuty
I don't know
First truck is a jade truck. (Winnipeg mb) See lots of them here, i dont think ive seen an ugly jade truck.
So true Brent!
Half the trucks were gone that Saturday.
Hmmm, I was indoors most of all Saturday, so did not know that.
LUV ALONE RASTAFORI
👍 👍 👍 👍
No CL9000 that sad
Never know what will be there year after year.
Trucks like this made me want to be a truckdriver. Not all the flair and show shit but... not the fancy seats and dash but actual working trucks. As long as the AC works and in the winter these old cab em' overs your feet always stay cold. But something to say about driving them safely. Rhe blind side on that passenger side front is a bitch. And those stupid ass spot mirrors on them really ruins the looks.
The best cabovers are the ones where the gearshift never moves when you tilt the cab. Less linkage to mess up. He'll I've owned a couple in my time and had "mechanism fuck up the struts letting the cab down too fast. He'll I'm so old I remember what the yellow, red and blue brake valves mean.
Those were the good ol days Dave!
@@THROTTLEPOWER Yeah they were. They are gone now due to "progress".
He'll you give a rookie driver an old cabover, even a show truck, 90 percent could not drive them or even climb over the doghouse and undress in the bunk laying down. Forget cabovers even. Those old conventionals to get in the sleeper half couldn't even fit through the hole. And then just a little bunk? But if you sleep too much you ain't driving enough to make money. Deregulation in the eighties opened the door to what we got now. 48 state apportioned plates, IFTA sticker. CDLs, and PTO with half as much pay and way too much time on the road. But... a Condo and auto tranny and hours upon hours of wait time at a dock to load and unload.
Everything used to be more fun, challenging and took actual skill to drive a truck than wat it does now.
@@daveweed2765 So true!
Where is your cb radio at wanta be trucker yall just can't reliy on your apps on your phone get a cb rario for your truck
Ok
I honestly rather a cabover over a conventional truck
I agree
สวยงามมาก เมืองไทยไม่มีโชว์
I agree, lots of beautiful trucks at this show.
comparing to eu truckshow these are boring essentialy there are 2 types of trucks petershit and kenbrick both are ugly and both are kitted with chrome and 1 type of collor and orange lights.
Ok
@@THROTTLEPOWERi mean dont get me wrong i would also like to try to breake my back driving 1940s truck
@@limitededition3295 👍 🙂
Nothing better than a classic cabover. New ones are hideous
I agree!!
