I used to drive one of these and it was one of the most comfortable trucks I’ve ever drove. Had a small TV sitting on the dash on the passenger side and it would reflect off of the back wall of the bunk on to the windshield it was almost like a HUD system you could watch the TV while driving down the road.

[@BillBlast7372]

1:48 Maybe you can answer a question I have had for several decades.....what is the blue air brake valve used for? I'm not a truck driver but I was a highly trained auto tech @ Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler. I was born in 73 & I remember when I was a vary young kid I had a dealer brochure for I believe GMC commercial vehs(it had to be for late 70's or vary early 80's), in that full size(8.5"x11") brochure was a lg centerfold pic of a trk dashboard, pic covered 2 pages & it had the same 3 air brake controls...yellow, red, blue. I kept, looked & dreamed i was driving that trk for several yrs while leaving that centerfold open, but never knew what the blue control was for, I knew yellow & red back then bc it was written on them, but blue had no writing on it.....sorry for the long question/story, but what was blue for?? Side note, I never knew where that brochure came, neither did anyone in my family, it literally just appeared 1 day.....no one had ever seen it before i found it & it was not mailed out, thats another question ive had, lol. THANKS & cool story of ur TV truckin' days.

[@kierandonnelly9178]

​@billblast7372 not to familiar with these trucks but I belive it's the parking break control that would release the spring breaks

[@jmiller1717]

Hunter, I am not usually a fan of these types of videos but I was really into this one and your channel. I think its just the genuine, rough, everyday life stuff that is refreshing. You have an interesting life doing all of these different types of trips, picking up different vehicles, etc. It was cool seeing you get that truck you have been looking for, and how excited you were about it. I can't wait to see more updates on it as you fix it up, and restore it (if that is what you plan on doing). Have you considered making a membership on youtube here, or a Patreon? I bet you would get quite a few subscribers (including me) that would want to support you and your content.

[@dylanpulvermacher9970]

That truck is in great shape, and in my opinion the paint Scheme is pretty cool. If you only paid twenty-five hundred bucks for it. That's not a whole lot above scrap. Good find.

Congrats Hunter! I love these old cabovers. Looking forward to see you using/fixing it in the future!

First diesel engine I ever worked on was a Cat 3406, I did an inframe on it replacing cylinder sleeves, a couple pistons and the head gasket after the owner blew it up. Those engines are great for making power across the board.

[@SchnelleKat]

NICE SCORE. Yes the Fords Cabovers are getting extremely hard find and most parts are near impossible to get replacements for. That's way kool it has the brushed Aluminiuim gauge bezel and I LOVE That paint scheme. That was a really uncommon one even back then from the factory. Them OLD Pre-1985 Computer ish age Cabovers are the BREAD AND BUTTER. I am hoping too pickup a '81 GMC Astro with a 8v71 and 9spd Spicer. Plan B will be a Mid-50s GMC Cannonball coe.

[@emilepellerin6064]

The four airbags on the cab is what made them most of the time look slanted coming coming at you in the opposite lane. How ever they did ride like a dream. I personally when it came to Cab Over's. The Freightliner had the warmest and quietist cab. Living in Northern Canada a worm cab was much appreciated hauling to remote mines. I'm also very impressed by the condition of this tractor.. Good find..

[@dandaurora3274]

Badass cab over!! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Totally jealous of you!!

[@mintyman1968]

That thing is awesome. I think with a new paint job in the same colors/scheme, a good polish, maybe a chrome bumper, and a set of twin 5" straight pipes you'll have a very sharp truck. Please don't ruin it with a drop visor or a gaudy bumper. Tapered w/ swing plate is the look. And yes, everything Cat related is expensive lol

[@uliwehner]

CAT announced recently that you can get brandnew 3406 engines from them now. They will accept almost anything as a "core". grab an old cracked 3406 block and get a brandnew 3406E back. All it takes is money.

That 1981 Ford is exactly like the one I drove in 1981 and 1982. But, it was black with red flames on the exterior. It had Ruby Red Diamond button tucked interior. I got my license in 1979 and drove for a little 5 truck, owner operator company in NC. I was what they called an apprentice or 2nd driver to a lead driver running team. They taught me everything I needed to know to run from Charlotte NC to Pico Riviera / Los Angels, California every week. I loved that truck and the job. After 2 years they bought a new International Transtar II.. for me to drive. But, I missed that four shock ride. I continued to drive and later bought my own Peterbilt 379 and drove it until I retired in 2014. Good luck on your truck and channel.

[@murraygraham2385]

The first truck I ever drove in 1980 it was 3 months old, I was 18 years old, I got a lot of grief from the older guys, Young punk with a brand new truck. The truck I drove did not have the air ride cab. It had spring suspension and rode like a buck board. A friend of mine had the same suspension with the air ride cab. A word of warning if you do not have air ride suspension you can tear a lot of shit up because the cab is so smooth. I’m so glad these old CLT 9000s are popular today. I think it would be really cool to do a little customizing with today’s technology and availability of aftermarket parts. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of this truck. First time on your channel, I’m going to subscribe to keep up-to-date what you’re doing with it.
