What if it Snows?

western WA state.

 

613 miles, we are parked in beautiful Bliss, ID and even got a straightline back to end the night.

I think you'll find they share close DNA matches with the SOBS who buy Corvettes, Hell Cats, or Shelbys and drive them at 45mph in 80mph zones.

 

You only miss the first step once...

 

Do you LIKE kidney belts? Seriously you've missed nothing, the ones I dtove....no air ride suspension, no air ride seat, cab hadn't even been thought of, BUT you got air wipers, which meant they didn't work when you actually needed them, then move to creature comfort..you get to spend all day sitting over the steer pounding on you, then the heat sucked unless the doghouse wasn't insulated in which case it worked GREAT during summer then winter comes along and you get air conditioning. Then just to make sure you're here to play you get to dig yourself out of about an 18"x24" hole to crawl over the doghouse to get to the sleeper, where you do everything laying down.
I'm glad I haven't been around a cab over for years, they SUCK.
I have a buddy that's restoring a KW K100 that was his granddads truck and he plans to run it some but it's mostly a tribute to grandpa.

You've missed nothing.

 

I enjoyed driving them, but I am glad I never had one as an OTR truck. I did ride with family as a kid in one, which meant I slept on the doghouse.

 

I see a fair number of cab overs in my area. Glad I never drove one -

 

COE was primary company truck way back when.
I recall when we got the White Volvo integrated sleeper trucks back in the mid 80s or so..
We thought we were in heaven.

 

All this hate for cabovers I’m guessing you guys never got to drive a good one. When I was young I thought big bunk COE was the berries.

 

Got out of this into a Pete cabover and was thankful.

 

The ride was very impressive. Only drove one once. Road test for Eastern Express out of Georgia. 6 yr 1985 or so 700k mile short wb. Road like a Car.
