We had a helluva time brother !! She made us proud !

[@JamesPretty]

Appreciate ya working hard bro

[@jonathansparks3386]

I’m loving the fact that Chad provides the comic relief 😂😂😂

[@JamesPretty]

Hahaha he sure does

[@johnnyholland8765]

Words you never want to hear "I think we're on fire..." I can tell your stress level was a bit high on this one. Glad you got it home in one piece.

[@JamesPretty]

thanks Johnny. ya it was a big deal and my rush when he said I think were on fire was incredible. I didnt want to see this truck burn

[@kman-mi7su]

The old girl made it home finally! It was a good day, it got home under its own power and nobody got hurt.

[@JamesPretty]

rite on. I had an excellent team for sure.

[@rickmunson8317]

I absolutely loved this video. You'll got her home Mr. Pretty! Nice to see that smile.

[@JamesPretty]

thanks Rick. appreciate ya always being here.

What a brilliant adventure with a great gang of people, not forgetting JP.

James glad to see you made it home with the old beast

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks Todd

[@nashwaldrop6198]

Glad Whitney made it home safe. Wish Chad was still running old Frankenstein. Be safe guys hope to see all of you in another video together.

[@JamesPretty]

Appreciate ya being here

[@tyhogue8316]

I told you before that I love how safety conscious you are and can respect that for what it is. Sometimes people need the butt chewing, how else are they gonna learn!👍

[@JamesPretty]

I agree I’d rather have a guy alive and unhurt and mad then splat

[@tyhogue8316]

@@JamesPretty I got mine chewed a couple of times when I was younger.😏

[@stansdds]

Once you got some good batteries in it, Whitney fired right up! Chad is a master at finding air leaks. So the rear clip is a replacement? That explains the Hendrickson rubber block suspension. Dollars to donuts, the original rear featured White's Velvet Ride suspension. Velvet Ride was very common on tandem axle White's back in the 1960's to early 70's. Ok, let's see... no lights, no tach, no speedo, no seat belts, bad brakes, bad tires... what could possibly go wrong? Lots of things, but they didn't! Looking forward to seeing some restoration work done on Whitney.

[@JamesPretty]

Hahaha ya it’s a basket case. But so much love for it. Thanks for being here

[@fsctrucking]

Judging by the sticker in the window, that rig was last on the road when mine was one year old.... but wow, what a find!

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks brother.

[@18wheelsrollin]

69 white COE !! Rare bird !!

[@bobbarenthin7437]

The beginning was hilarious 🤣 chad and the 18 wheel kid cutting up lol 😆. You sure get excited with these trucks it's cool 😎 to watch . I think this truck would really be a good candidate for a restoration and bring her back to her glory days and show her off

[@JamesPretty]

I would like to make her a show rig and have JP take her to the shows

[@18wheelsrollin]

😂😂😂😂😂

O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 Kudos to the Cabover King crew!😎 You came together…You resolved the issues…You got the job done…You looked out for each other…You got home safely! The Japanese cabover, Whitney, makes a big trip to her new home! It took guts, sweat & lots of teamwork to get her home. Now that’s some FELLOWSHIP! So you’ve know about this tuck for some time & have admired it? What about this cabover do you like the most? I surely don’t remember you saying that this was a positive ground truck. I know it came up, but that’s it. I’m very familiar with that…my old REO is positive ground & 6 volts. I thought that went out in the 1950s. WOW! Hey, I appreciate the passion that you have with old trucks & especially cabovers! You had a great crew! I can relate to the grinning & feeling of such satisfaction getting her home! Not sure how many miles you drove her, but it’s one way to test yourself & the others as well! WHEW! Now, I hope that you can sleep, in spite of the adrenaline flowing. I enjoyed this from A to Z! Blessings my brother! It’s so cool to have friends to help & a wife who understands! 🥰🥰✌️

[@JamesPretty]

I learned it was positive ground on like the third episode after some viewers told me it most likely was. I love this truck because my friend JP used to drive it and he loves it I get excited over these old trucks. I just love ‘em

[@wallacebowie3849]

Wow love it James man that one was the best drive home yet each one is great but for some odd reason this one really rocked glad to see Chad and the rest helping you

[@rce8540]

I think James is one of kind. Hard worker. I’ve had trucks since 1976. And still do. Done a lot of that works he is doing on one truck and two trailers. It is definitely dirty hard work. Most owner operators haven’t never changed there own tires. Brake jobs etc wheel seals. I would like to shake his hand. He is one of a kind. Just my opinion. Take care James and Jessica and helpers.

[@JamesPretty]

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for being here

[@rce8540]

Thanks for the reply. Love that old jap white. I started trucking when they were running down the highway. Great times. Take care.

ya I 100% believe the tires are the shake they are old and just junk plus it needs shocks I may change the cutoff to air ride I don't know

[@morgansword]

I am hoping this is not the first in line for being back on the road... every where you turn is a adventure... Can't tell you where I would start but something every free minute ya have will get the finish line. They were a unique looking rig but really they all have their own best or worst feature. I just never cared for a coffin style sleeper as I do get a bit claustrophobic in those old mouse traps. I think driving it home was probably one of the best things you could do as it does help shake down some of the issues they all have

[@JamesPretty]

the truck is far down the list.. I will of course give it a bath inside and out and make it as sparkle buggy as possible. and when I get some free time get after some of the wiring and air lines but it won't be in line for restore for a while
