Barn Find 1984 Kenworth Cabover, WILL IT START??

[@VicSwanby]

Most of my young life I was in one of these trucks My Dad was an Owner Operator and I was fortunate enough to thump through the lower 48 in it couldn't ask for a better way to venture around the country. I started driving it at age 9 when my dad slipped me into the seat one night and it became my routine for the Summer break about 300 miles every night I was logging for him. I used to get the strangest looks from people driving by when they would look up and realize that a kid was driving. I felt like a million bucks. Good memories. As a wee little kid like what was in the video my dad used to set me up in the steering wheel and let me play with all the switches and honk that air horn while we were parked in some lot somewhere. These were definitely The Cadillacs of the day and when he ended up dropping a silver 92 into it that thing became a legitimate hot rod. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

That has Tim Gentry written all over it! Great to see your son enjoying your truck passion

[@kirkcard7202]

i was gonna say the same thing he needs a kw cabover to complete the set

I would love to see you help someone into their own truck while getting a old truck back on the road. Keeping trucking alive and helping people out. Way to go bruce

[@markhawkinsmarkhawkins6417]

I would for someone to help me get an old truck like this kw and help me fix it, and help me put it back on the road with me as the driver. I started driving a 77 kw with a big cam 350 and a 9 speed trans. I am disabled now but I still can drive short distances with my disable. I had 7 back surgeries and still in pain, but I still love to drive just to make a little more money for my family once again. I REALLY MISS THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS OUT THERE.

[@I_do_YouTube746]

Yeah

[@maymyers3095]

Keep it

[@AbuFab]

What a truck, what a sound and a power! I’d say the condition of it is awesome considering the age and the fact it hasn’t really been looked after for a while. The engine started well, I’d love to drive one of those one day. I love American trucks! Regards from Ukraine!

[@infledermaus]

Stay safe, Vadym. I root for Ukraine. Putin's an psychotic murderer.

[@jasonweston1273]

Give it a full refurbishment it deserves to be preserved as trucks like these have to be the best in history!.

[@je2338]

My family had a K100E in Australia. It did millions of KM (clock turned over a few times) before it finally retired 25 years later. It was hard going pulling b-doubles around Sydney later in its life.

[@countryboyvlogs776]

The best part of this video was watching his son be amazed by the big rig brought back memories keep up the great work

[@KeronDias]

Man I love that truck, but most of all I remember my dad doing the same thing u did with your son, I'm a truck driver now, I'm watching this video nw in😢 remember these moments with my dad, he's not with us anymore, you are a great father.. thanks for making this video TRUCKERS LIVES

[@nigelgladwell1783]

love to see how you get little one to get started he will learn so soon how trucks work love to all you family keep the good work from the uk

[@Sundog0811]

These old trucks are the way to go. I drive an old mack rolloff truck and I can't tell you how many times I pass new trucks that are broke down on the side of the road. No matter how hot it gets, no matter how long I work, that old.mack just keeps going.

[@michaeldees5481]

Now that is a cab over I can get excited about! I love those old Kenworths. I like the version with the Aerodyne sleeper best though.

[@infledermaus]

I didn't realize how much I missed seeing cab overs until yours and DeBoss' videos. Kenworth, Peterbilt and White Freightliner had the best looking rigs. They may look like big boxes on frames, but to me they are beautiful. My pops drove for about 10 years after retiring from the AF back in the 60s. I would go with him in summers for a couple weeks. I loved sitting way up up in the cab looking at everything. I've been in every state but Hawaii. It was a good series of lessons for a 12-17 year old and I'll never forget it.

[@Krause_transport_garage]

When jumping don’t hook up to just 1 battery. Hook positive on the first battery and negative on the last battery so the voltage travels through all the batteries and gives a better jumpstart.

[@havocreaper2404]

Im guna go with, Bruce doesn't have a clue about semi trucks or electrical systems.

[@chase5896]

Whether you keep it or not this is still a sweet truck. All cabovers are really cool since they are rare and this is a gem

[@waltersaari7954]

Love it. My bro, (may he Rest In Peace). & I used to own one. loved driving that thing.

[@robdagr8te]

Ole Timmy gentry should really buy this truck!!!! Come on tim you know you need it 😂😂

This truck would be perfect for me. I’m hoping in 2023 to buy my own truck and be an O/O. I freaking love these kenworth cab overs!

Good day truckers. You can earn as much as $5000 weekly and still continue working without any interruptions. I shared this information with some truck drivers here last week and now they are earning very huge. One of them bought a brand new truck just within the week after withdrawal. Inbox me for details if you want to know how

[@rufusbailey1746]

This will become a core memory for that kid. Sweet K100... I have been in love with those things since I was a kid.

[@shawnwright4129]

I really enjoyed this one. I wasn't able to handle OTR driving, I'm probably too old to relearn how to drive rigs. Salvaging them like this seems like a fun job at times. Those cab overs do not look comfortable to sleep in.

I owned a 1989 K100E for 18 years before I retired.. loved that truck. 444 Cummins, 18 speed, 46s with 4:11s in the rear, perfect general purpose truck. I pulled super B’s originally, but I got it into good shape. I learned on a conventional, but wouldn’t own one!

nice set up im sure it pulled like a scalled mule with that gear and tranny.

You can definitely, clean it up, and give it to me, oh and cute kid you got there, glad to see you sharing this love of truck with nim

[@teddyrivas1082]

It sounds like it should, and it looks pretty good for it's age, had one but never got it to run, and really didn't have time for it, always on the road. But would be interested in it, if the price is right once you go over her!

[@arthurcoleman1280]

Be glad when I can get my cabover on the road. I done put a lot of work into it. Time has been a huge factor in trying to get it finished because I work a lot with very little time to spare.

[@markgloverville]

Please refurb and keep it. It's a beaut. Plus, your kid fell in love with it at first sight.

Fantastic , love the massive cabovers plus it reminds of the seventies when trucking was a great way to make money .

Best looking cab overs are the K 100 and the best are the K100 aerodyne (BJ and the Bear style)! No other cab over comes close!

I slept in one just like that I think a 1982 or 1983.....I worked at a meat packing facility and would work 4 days on 4 days off so I would stay over night instead of my long commute.. had a little transistor radio and a couple beers. I looked forward to work just to chill in the truck ...

I have always liked Kenworth Cab overs. I send out a lot of wine behind tankers in Australia, hauled by Kenworth cab overs. Brendan Laws drove one of them I think, he was a real character. Cab overs are preferred due to trailer length issues in Australia.
