Cabover

Now why didn't I think of that? I could keep my flip flops right near by. Oh wait, could be we didn't wear that crap years ago.

 

I'd drive that one to Scottie!

 

Some of yall sound like a buncha sissys in here... I growed up in a cabover, learned how to drive in a cabover and I still love the things!

 

If you are referring to the 9000 day cabs with that circlar air intake on the right of hood, I loved those things. They turn like a witch in a dream or nightmare and get into places I would never with a sleeper truck or any other truck with the exception of that 58' white daycab which had two axles and shorter than that 9000 was.

What a dream it was to drive it back then for what we did with it.

I hate to think that someone would buy that line out and eff it all up. It would break my heart. But I do not love it THAT much. Too many bridges where i ran back then. Get a heavy container, that front end sits up, crossing those steel plates on the del mem or some such major bridge. FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP with your body slamming to the floor while you hung onto the big steering wheel like a squirrel.

 

Hes talkin bout the CL9000 Tiltin Hiltons... The ones that make ya feel like tge dang cab is gonna roll off of the frame first corner ya took! Lol

 

Heck if anybody has an old cabover that they don't have a driver for I'll drive it for you.

 

Dang right! Them 8 bag KWs dont ride bad at all in my book... Its them old rubber block or spring rides that beat yer kidneys out...lol

 

Done some body work on thisn last summer... We gonna paint er in the spring.

 

Before... After...

 

No, the big bunk cabovers I was referring to.
