cabover

Them eagle cabovers o/o specd were nice.

 

If she runs, I'd say just put her on truck paper and sell her. Or list here on movers fb web pages. Every day more and more movers are buying and restoring cabovers (especially kw's)
Yes you can and will make more money parting out. But sounds like you have enough on your ticket already. List her for $3-5000 more than you paid and make a quick profit.
Myself I'd love to buy a k100e double bunk cab over. Have a great winter project. First thing I'd do is send the motor and trans out to be rebuilt. The rest me, my boys, and friends, would do all winter long. Most older movers with 25-30 years exp. Take the winter off we love having winter projects. Otherwise the wife has plans to keep us busy with new kitchens, bathrooms, vacations etc...

 

Ol skool at its best.

 

I always wanted to drive a flat floor & feel same way as you.

 

Be sure & autograph the trucks you sale for all the haters out there. Lol.

 

Is it a110" big bunk? If so I definitely wouldn't cut it up. Don't see as many around

 

euch... ugh... ick.. whoa... single screw. Oh the joys bobtailing that filly. It must be a real #####....

 

JBH gave me one in Dec 2001 for three weeks as strictly a experiment. HR was adamant in paying me .47 and one Cabover. If I did not wait as long as I did I would have one of the new Conventionals and .48, come to find out they were trying to lure people into containers thats why I stayed away FROM THOSE particular Conventional low roofs spec'ed for that work.

I might still have my inspection somewhere in the safe that showed a bad power steering box under the cab in Kentucky near the Louisville Scales, about 30 minutes west of there more or less on the Crashville interstate. If I can find it I'll be happy to scan and upload it to prove to one particular troll that yes dear JBH ran those Eagles in C/O.

I was thinking about that particular tractor the other day, other than the power steering which was fixed like within hours. Not just fixed but REPLACED.... none of that old tired arguing about money. I guess it's nice if you are a thousand gazillion dollar outfit overflowing in money... That tractor was near perfect excepting the old shoes on the drives. They kept saying oh no, you get a new one come spring. That one going to junk pile no use putting money into it.

ORLY? Thank you kind sirs for that 700 plus dollar replacement bill. Surely you can afford a few drums for winter, after all you stuck 10 virgin tires on there when I hired on for me.

Drums and shoes. They cannot be that pricey.
