Air Force Cabover Frame Stretch Part 2!

[@keithandrews7696]

The last three months of Bruce's videos are a step-by-step instruction guide to show the countless reasons why you should spend the extra $10,000 and buy a truck in better overall condition. Thanks Bruce.

[@paulog8813]

It’s a miracle no one got hurt!!!

[@johnellis9147]

A thought occurred to me. The old rear end for the Air Force truck has a sliding fifth wheel. Is it possible to salvage that for the freight liner? It could potentially save you quite a bit of money.

[@succulentchinesemeal5682]

You think captain iq here is about saving money?

[@randybooth9192]

Could be different size frame rails but good idea

That sliding fifth wheel isn't made of chrome so of course it's not the right part.

As he said, blur collar is a working truck. Besides, how many actual chrome fifth wheels have you ever seen? I have been in the industry for a long time and have seen one. It was a show truck and did no hauling...at all.

couple things to remember. when you measure a truck wheel base, its front axle center to between the rear duals center. not axle to axle. another thing was that everytime you want to stretch a truck frame. its better you stretch from the back and not mid frame. i saw your concerns and i agree how you want to to do it.. dont take my recommendations as being a smart ass. i learned the hard way. if i can help with any problems you might have. i will try to help.i love it build more.

[@simonturner10]

Whats with all the hate on here guys? He is learning as he goes and has caused a few comedy moments that make for fun viewing, he knows what he has to do with regard to the "Z" cut on the frame, so long as that is done right he wont have any issues with it, he measured the wheel base so if he can find another truck in the scrap yard thats already been stretched he should be able to find a drive shaft for it. Then its a case of extending all the airlines and electrics, its really not that hard, also he mentioned he will need another cross member and carrier so he is thinking it through. I started out something like this on cars, a young lad totally clueless but had a go and learnt from my mistakes and now pretty damned competent and most of what I tackle. Keep going Bruce my only real advice would be to think about things a little more before you start, try to predict any problems you may come across and have a sollution ready. Have to admit the white international kind of looks comedy but also cool as a Shorty lol

[@396k20]

The non smart ass answer is, when these older trucks where manufactured there was an overall length limit by DOT. Remember when trailers could only be 54 feet and single width sleepers were king. This was all an effort to keep the truck short enough and maximize load. Now that the length and GVW limits were increased a few years ago, truck length were increased to improve ride quality and sleeper size, plus trailers are longer. A piece of history. The first Kenworth with a double sleeper was the truck built for the TV series Movin' On in 1972.

Hey Bruce am a jamaican, and how we stretch the cabover to convert to a dump truck is that we use the back of the frame for the cab and engine and where the cab is located we stretch there because it's easier to get that size frame anywhere

[@stevenpdxedu]

Perhaps you could first find an appropriate length driveshaft and hanger (to get you in the ballpark) and adjust the length of your frame sections to accommodate rather than adjust the drive shaft and parts. Just seems like it might be easier. Thanks for the fun.

Are you going to put new front tires from the international on front of the air force truck ?

[@RyanKlapperich]

Yeah he said he would in a previous video.

[@martinhaskell376]

I may be missing something here (from the UK) but what’s the point of stretching a tractor unit? 🤔

[@DazC2]

Apparently they ride better however in Europe our trucks are very well engineered for refinement and drive very smooth anyway so the only benefit is negated. Some people here stretch a tractor to make them a rigid for certain tasks (heavy recovery for example) but I have known owner operators to stretch them just to have the bigger engine and brakes etc as they drive nicer than the equivalent 18 or 26 tonner with having a much more powerful engine

[@DazC2]

Plus here you would struggle with the lack of manoeuvrability once it’s stretched due to our tighter, smaller and older infrastructure.

[@martinhaskell376]

There were a few units stretched when they started introducing the Euro spec 13.6m trailers, but from what I’ve seen the American cabovers do seem to be considered as back breakers so what you’re saying makes perfect sense. Give me a Scania any day...

[@DazC2]

Like you say, I suspect the US tractors weren’t as refined as our European counterparts which is why they seem to like a longer truck. I think they look disproportionate when stretched to be fair. I preferred these 2 trucks at their original length.

I will lol so hard when the Navy truck wont fit out the door.

Did you calculate the Akerman on the front end? Do you even know what it is ?

[@thefivepoints]

Don't understand why they stretch the frames on these trucks.

[@sc_archery86]

Hey man... I would recommend a plate bent to set inside the frame bolted and then welding the outside frame. That's how we do it here when we stretch trucks. Straight cuts no Z cuts. Flux core welded so it'll be stronger uphill.

[@timsmith5788]

[@larryspicer3701]

Damn shame hes that stupid. If he was a real mechanic he could have fixed that first truck and would have been a hell of alot better than that shitty detroit.

[@bradi5050]

What's the advantage of stretching the truck like that I don't know anything about trucking

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Provides a bit of a smoother ride, as the rear axles are further away from the driver, but other than that, not really much.

There his trucks let him do what he wants with them at least he is one of the few that's actually bringing the cab overs back

[@mrspeeddemon727]

More like he's sending them straight to the junkyard. LOL

[@8760-x8z]

Bringing them back? Might as well stick some C4 in them. It achieves the same result only quicker

Are you using the sliding 5th wheel

[@miguel203948]

Can’t go wrong with that YETI as a jack stand!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@eddiepatterson5025]

Keep the sliding fifth wheel off the stubby international for the Freightliner. Bruce this is gonna be a sick long truck when it’s finished. You’re doing fine just a safe measure when you grafting the chassis together reinforce the crap out of it. Because it’s better to overkill it than underkill it. You’ve got this 👍👍👍🏁🏁🏁. Get’er done ✅ Bruce hope you have a Blessed One Sir.

Bruce, you need smarter friends.

[@chasecarroll8667]

Smarter subscribers some are smart but the ones that liked the idea of buying another project for Bruce making him do terrible things to a truck that's was looking good and almost finished he should of just bought a wrecked parts truck to stretch the frame of the air Force truck

[@adamtereska8734]

@@chasecarroll8667 I voted to not stretch the Air Force truck and just put the white truck's axles in the Air Force truck. Learning what ended up being problems with the white truck, but my opinion was you have a stretched blue truck, don't stretch the Air Force truck. However, 71% of the voters said stretch it.

Honestly, I see these cab overs sitting in yards and fields all over the south. I am sure they would go cheap if you want one of your own. I do know guys who do restore and even moderately customize, but you have to have some cash and a place to do it. I will stick with classic cars and light trucks...easier.
