Sure enjoy seeing a Cabover out on the open road, a sight you just don't see much anymore. So when a few show up at a show I think they defiantly deserve their own video! Hope you enjoy these as much as I did ...... 🙂👍✌

[@just_some_bigfoot_hacking_you]

These classic semi's bring so much nostalgia, man.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!

[@jimmycline4778]

3:31 I love these day cabs, it’s so small and so big at the same time! I’ve never seen one with a stretched frame like this EVER! It’s so cool looking!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Jimmy!

[@draughonc]

Cab over Pete’s some of the best looking trucks of all time. Those aerodynes are slick too.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!!!

[@chriscallen6897]

I love old COE’s. I sure do miss seeing them on the road. I remember going on runs with my dad whe he was a driver. He drove an International and a Freightliner COE. This would definitely give a guy some ideas for a model build. Thanks for sharing Tim!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Chris!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddbankes445]

Love cabovers. Good video. Owned a 72 Dodge LNT 1000 coe., years ago. Loved it. Drove few F model Mack coe, too. Loved them

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Right on Todd!

[@bmashak137]

I get the goose pimples looking at these fantastic trucks! Lots of memories! Thank you for your post.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you enjoyed it Brendan!!!!!

[@dtracy03ss]

Loved COE Trucks, Started Wrenching on them in 77 and Loved all those Years, To me the Interior in these Trucks were the most Awesome too! The only bad thing was when the Cab was up and driver left Door open after getting something out, while I was replacing King Pins , Stand up and Lights Out!!!!! Otherwise Best years Ever working on all those Beautiful Cab Overs! Great Video!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Dave, thanks for sharing!

[@larryk4146]

That Emeryville brings back memories. In 1974 an Emeryville was the first semi I drove on the highway

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh very cool Larry!!!!

[@AdventureTimeRC]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you like them, they are my favorite!!!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Those trucks look amazing 🤩

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I think so too Brian! 👍😉

[@tygreenwood472]

Started my driving career out in a freightliner coe back in the early 90s when coes were still out on the roads glad I got the experience of driving them it's ashame that for the most part they're a thing of the past I definitely do a double take when I occasionally see one going down the roads today a lot of cool rides great video thanks for bringing it to those of us that still appreciate them.. like the old western theme music in the background 👍🏾

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Tyrelle and so glad you enjoyed the vid!

Very cool Lisa!!!!!!

[@PharaohDeathMask]

What a great video. Music and filming were perfect. I am really impressed by how straight the body work is on many of those trucks.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you, yes they are really nice!

[@brucechapman5553]

Man those were some beautiful old trucks. As much as I love the seeing the show trucks seeing those working trucks there brings it all full circle. Loved that old GMC cracker box and that old International Emeryville. I’ve driven both. Bet the vast majority of those trucks didn’t have power steering either. Excellent work Tim. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Bruce and so glad you enjoyed the vid!!!!

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Awesome looking trucks Tim, great show. I'm getting ready to enter the Big Rig Truck Build with a Peterbilt cabover, lots of good reference material.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Well cool, have fun Jeff!

[@atelierhcp]

I'm neither a trucker nor an American. I'm also too young to have ridden a big rig between the '60s and 1989. But finally that's a good thing, because if all of this were possible - I couldn't have decided which of these extremely hot machines would have been my No. 1. It seems I love them all and therefore I could never pick a personal favorite at a truck show like this. 😍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Another awesome video Tim!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thanks again Shawn!!!!!

[@jamesfarley3006]

Great Trucks

I remember in the mid 80's when cabovers were dying out there were tons and tons of them for sale and you could pick them up for next to nothing, nobody wanted them anymore.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Mark!

[@elijames3041]

Nice truck

Thanks 👍

My 3 favorite carolers were , #1 mack ultralight #2 ih transtar ll #3 is emeryville!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Those are definitely ones I love too Ralph!

[@dewaynem559]

It has what we called the old ankle buster clutch pedal KW had them also

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Cool!!!!!

[@Twisted_RC]

Some very cool trucks. Here in the UK 99% of trucks are cabovers. Always cool to see the American ones👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you enjoyed ..... 👍🙂 Have always heard they are in the UK but always wondered why. When the length law changed in America Cabovers soon became a thing of the past. Always thought the UK would do the same.

[@Twisted_RC]

@@THROTTLEPOWER I thinks its purely down to size. We have an overall length limit of 18 Metres (59 Ft) Because European roads are tiny compared to American 1s

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@Twisted_RC Ok, now I understand why.... 🙂

[@GO4RIDER_trikelife937]

COEs be so sweet!😀👍👍✌️

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joehighsmith2951]

Not one set of gators or flip flops. The amount of work rebuilding equipment that size is mind boggling. I'm running an old 9670 and I can barely keep her running in fresh oil and news shoes on her feet. Maybe one day I'll get caught up enough to get the interior redone and the sheet aluminum body painted. I do all my own work - maybe that's why it takes so long. I've rebuilt and still own several military 5 ton trucks and currently bought an amtrack as a project = 6v53...looking forward to hearing that one screaming to life soon but then the hunt for track pads begins. My 9670 is hard to shut down cause I'm running her so much lately

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Joe!!!

[@smoothlyrough512]

I drive a truck, and from time to time, I ACTUALLY see a cab over going down the interstate pulling a trailer. I be rubber necking hard, as it's like looking back into time when you see one.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, it's always a treat to see them from time to time!

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

I always liked the Transtar! But, then I liked the double bunk Kentworth! The fastest was a double bunk Freightliner! That truck would get you in trouble! Lol! 3406 cat, with a 14 speed and 4:11 rear end! It would purrr!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh yea, soooooo true Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelleftwich8186]

Can't help but notice that not one of these trucks carry a spare tire. Now, either the newer tires these days never go flat, or, IDK.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yea, IDK................

GREAT VIDEO IM PRO CAB OVER ITS THE TRUCK I ORIGINALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IN 1982 AS A 6YR OLD!!! What is the name of that guitar instrumental minute 15 mark????

I agree Bradley, they are cool!! That song is in the KZbin music list to choose from and the name is Horses to Water. So glad you enjoyed the vid!!!!

@@THROTTLEPOWER thank you very much I've been Trucking 23 years that's a good Highway song my best friend next door father drove a 1979 K100 I fell in love with that truck it was everything to me thank you for your content have a great day✔✔✔✔

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@MR.MAN_W Aaaaaaaa very cool Bradley!!!!!!!! You have a great day too and stay safe out there my friend!

[@sstevocamaro]

I wonder how they keep these trucks stored when not in use. Some of them have 5th wheels that never been used lol

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I don't know, but sometimes they dress up the trucks just for the show.

[@dominikando9690]

16:30 - 17:16 What is the dark green truck brand? Please everybody help me.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That is an International Harvester or short for IH ..... Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

Morning Sir, Like yourself I enjoy building Gasser’s. Would you happen to know if someone in the model community is making part’s, like Header’s, Ladder Bar’s. And other part’s for gasser’s, TYIA

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That's a great question John. As of now I do not know of anyone that does. Finding good/great headers is tough. Something I've kind of come to the conclusion of, is..... I'm looking for really nice headers, ladder bars, a nice front end and sometimes a really nice set of tires and wheels so I'm thinking it might be cheaper (vs. buying all that aftermarket) and easier to get a kit with all that. The Moebius Gasser for example, that kit has all that and a cool engine. So I'm going to get another and just fit a different GM body onto it. Or swap out engines and go with a Ford or Mopar. Sorry for such a long response John but just wanted to share what I was thinking since we are both looking for the same stuff!!

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

@@THROTTLEPOWER TY- That is a good idea, to just get a kit with the part’s that I could use on a Gasser. TY for your help

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@jcsgaragejohnc.5027 Cool....... Yea, I hate to spend 30 bucks but it is cheaper then buying all that (if you can find it) in aftermarket. What Gasser are you wanting to build John?

[@jcsgaragejohnc.5027]

@@THROTTLEPOWER - Working on a 49 Merc , I scratched built the front suspension and , lifted the rear suspension. Body and chassis were painted yesterday. I have a update on my channel. Thanks

No Astro 95's!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Can't recall one this year Bill. Did you see the GMC Crackerbox?

[@mothman-jz8ug]

I could never imagine anyone preferring a conventional truck. Not counting pickups and the like, I drove one conventional and absolutely hated it. The visibility. the easy maneuvering, and so on just makes the CO trucks the only sensible choice as far as I could ever see. I did see where someone complained about being hard to get in and no room in the cab. It sounds like the problem would be better solved through diet and exercise than a truck with an anteater snout. BUT... What's with so many CO trucks now having the frames extended? They would make excellent flat bed or grain trucks, but they extend them like that and put a fifth wheel on the...THEY LOOK ABSURD. I'd be ashamed to drive one of those silly looking things.
