Orwell The Cabover Gets Loaded With Oversized Fire Truck

[@cengeb]

truck needs a tune up, black smoke ain't right

[@fsctrucking]

You have much to learn about older trucks.

[@cengeb]

@@fsctrucking Old trucks are why new ones are made, it's obvious, ain't it? Pollution, safety, efficiency

[@fsctrucking]

@@cengeb clearly you never trucked a day yet.

[@cengeb]

@@fsctrucking Mostly get them off the roads, air matters...that's why new ones are made, old ones don't work properly anymore

[@j4y_m1n3r8]

new trucks have a lot of problems with dpf and def i support him. older trucks are easier to work on but yeah they might pollut more its not the end of the whole and youre comments dont make sense. @@cengeb

[@jonathanhaynes6889]

Your doing a great job steve . Just don't burn yourself out by trying to do it all. Remember your health is your wealth

[@davidtoomey5892]

Hi Steve. Don't worry about other people's thoughts. You do you. I think you're doing great and look forward to watching your videos.

[@rob3732]

You are the OG working man Steve. I admire your determination and fortitude. Enjoy all your videos !

[@Tom-In-Ga]

Hey, Steve! I have to agree with other comments. Both the shop work and truckin' are great to watch. I do admit that I can't wait to see that ole Ford get all fixed up and back on the road.

[@christramontana3598]

Steve's a hell of a nice guy he took time out of his busy schedule to call me back the other day talked to me about 30 minutes or so about work and his company thanks again Steve 👍🏻it was cool talking with you

[@wimvangraas6728]

Steve, I find the alternation of driving Orwell and working in the garage with the 352 and Dorothy (the Ford CL 9000) interesting to watch. To see all aspects of your trucker's existence and what has to do with it. As far as I'm concerned: keep it up! I am very curious about further developments. Drive safely and enjoy your work right now... it will fly by and before you know it, you'll just be watching vlogs like this, just like me, with the beautiful memories of your own trucker life. Greeting from the Netherlands. Keep on trucking!

[@stansdds]

I enjoy the trucking videos, but I'm also interested in seeing the progress on the CL9000, the mobile chapel trailer, and the 352. Putting in trucking videos does show us that you are very much earning your money with Orwell and the other projects are currently money burners that you work on between trips. As for the critics, just remember, if you walked on water they would claim that it's because you can't swim.

[@bostedtap8399]

Well said, like the water analogy.

[@richardfitzwell6579]

Probably doesn't help with understanding the analytics, but I like both the trucking and shop vids. Both are fascinating.

[@AzerinSage]

I personally enjoy both the work on The Ford CL9000 & the trucking vlogs. Looking forward to seeing the Ford though back at work rolling that beautiful coal

[@michaelkreutzer7322]

Hi Steve. I enjoy shop and trucking videos. Keep em comin. The work in the shop is interesting along with a mix of trucking videos.

[@loquatdumpling]

Well it's good to have a bit of break from trucking and c u doing modification on ur newly acquired units. I really enjoyed watching the work that u have done so far i.e. pulling out motor, taking out the cab on cl9000 etc🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@rebasmith4804]

I enjoy the shop work, but have to admit, love to see Orwell going down the interstate!

[@jaybond9501]

Hi from Canterbury in the UK. I like both when you are in the shop and on the road

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Myself I would not worry what other people say. In your own right you are a professional. The things you can do and done shows just how much of a pro you are. You could never work for someone just being a company driver. Guys like you are far and few between. If there is something that gets screwed up or damaged you rectify it. You have the capabilities to do so. I like just to watch your videos. Not make comments or assumptions to myself on what I think is better or easier. You do things your way and that’s it. That’s what I like most about your videos. You do it your way and you have all the knowledge and experience or will get it to do and finish the job. Good to see you back in the saddle. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring..

[@LawrenceGerske-nb2eo]

Steve keep up the good work, these people that are questioning your rebuilds on the Peterbuilt and the Ford cab over trucks don't understand the complexity of working on 30 and 40 plus year old trucks. You are showing ingenuity and competence working on those two trucks. Especially after unloading the chapel trailer and pulling to engines by yourself. I find myself watching for your next video release.

[@kevinjohnson3852]

I personally enjoy both formats. I have been a cabover guy since 1982. I’m really enjoying watching the ford cabover project.

[@rondolan6457]

Hi Steve love your trucking and shop video keep them coming. Be safe out there. Catch you on the rebound

[@CharleSfromTexas]

Oh, I thought Orwell was in the"shop". You fixed him.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Right this is old video I think

[@danielseelye6005]

I think Steve broke the ring gear with this pickup and will be using a Weidmeyer truck to finish the delivery.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

@@danielseelye6005 right that is what I heard as well in a short.

[@clarencew.brooks1.1.1.4]

Hello Steve, always watch every one of your videos to its entirety. You don't learn if you don't make mistakes, but mistakes you try not to make. Sometimes two heads are better than one, but those trucks are expensive to build and finding the right mechanic to help can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, your doing good, slow but go.

[@philliptennis3537]

Great video Steve. I enjoy both the wrenching and the Trucking videos bud. Be careful in State College, it's pretty packed with cars on the streets... and tight roads at that.

[@MA-iv7ol]

I love both forms of content, I for sure want you to keep going on the builds, I can't wait to see both of the trucks come together. Your trucking vlogs are the best though, I follow several guys and only one comes close to yours. You have the best camera setup out of all of them, it's the most enjoyable. BTW, will you ever do some upgrades on Orwell? My ocd goes into overdrive when I see those rear wheels that need painting. I'm not saying to restore it all the way, just give Orwell some detailing it's such a nice looking truck. Anyway brother, love your content!

[@TricksterColonel]

Was nice to see Orwell Hauling a Striker again, it sure has been a while aha. I cannot deny how good Orwell always sounds under load. Been enjoying the hauling with Orwell, and the Ford Cabover rebuild series, I think you did a fantastic job removing the cab, nothing sketchy about it at all, loving the content, and as always keep up with the awesome stuff! 👍

[@JamesGracie-qb4rv]

That's a real big oversized load that you have on your trailer sir but I'm sure that Orwell can handle that load with ease, no problems at all. Stay safe and take care sir, love an old working truck like yours, Orwell is The Champion of all Champions when it comes to oversized loads for you, he always have my vote for real.

[@jaycee727]

I’m really enjoying the mix of shop and trucking Steve, loving seeing the coal out the twins again. Great angle looking at the rear of the cab. Uk American truck fan.

[@stumpy2816]

Gonna be run to see the Ford when you get it done. You're doing a great job Steve. 👍👍

[@bostedtap8399]

Nice combination of truck build/repair and driving videos Steve 👍. Thanks for sharing and stay safe all.

[@ricksmith4736]

thanks for the update on your trucks.... I do not like those dayton wheels, but your explanation about " if it ain't broke, why fix it " makes sense.... Looks like you might have a fleet of old working cabovers.... Keep is simple works for me..

[@neilmcintosh1200]

I am really impressed with the tremendous pace of the work on the 352 and the Ford. You are going right for the jugular and are sorting out the frames first. It seems obvious, but so many people piss around with trinkets instead of biting the bullet. Brilliant work Steve.

[@peep39]

"it worked for all those years, leave it alone" - that is a very valuable life lesson.

[@tabithasalb9903]

Awesome fire truck. Get er done Orwell and Steve. 😊

[@tedlasseigne1953]

I like both content . I like the shop work but I love the open road content better. I get to see places I have never been.

[@maxmacpherson1957]

I like both trucking and shop work videos so just do whatever you are in the mood to do.

[@howardjacobs1325]

Steve your doing everything well with the ford and the getting it ready for the new frame just be safe at the shop snd on the road I know you do things carefully just want to Watch your videos until you retire no because you got sick or hurt you and Orwell have save trips see you on the next video the videos are awesome 😊

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy watching you get loaded with that striker. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.

It's great seeing you going back in Orwell again! I did however enjoy watching the progress on the Ford! Oh yeah & if you would please give an update on the 12 V Detroit I'd really like to know! Thanks for what you do & keep it up cause it's working!

Hey Steve. IF you had any Vaca hopefully you enjoyed it. Enjoyed seeing your content. Glad to see your over the road time also.

[@LawrenceGerske-nb2eo]

Keep up the good work with your channel. I'm not a truck driver but enjoy your traveling videos because the parts of country you travel are beautiful and I would some day like to travel the northern part of the country. I also enjoy the repair work you do on Orwell. It gives insight into diesel repair. The rebuilds on your Peterbilt and Ford trucks are very interesting. Keep up the good work. You are a real truck driver.👍

@FSC Trucking/Steve I think it's commendable that you managed to keep a level head & not "go off" on some commenters who seem to possess no tact whats-so-ever. Any fool knows you felt bad enough about the damage to the Ford cab. Shook my head in dis-belief when I read some thought-less people's comments about that.

You are doing a great job ! Big Fella! Your working for you ! 😎 some viewers maybe have never built their own truck? Some have never seen what a shade tree mechanic does? or understand that old stuff is special, ya there is a patch to make, big woops 😜, we all break crap, or knock a mirror off the car? or truck? no big woops! It's your vision and l believe you have explained what you are doing enough! I wish that you keep moving forward. Love your driving and your shop videos, your a take action, motivated guy! When the Ford CL 9000 is up and running, then on to the other Pete, the 352, It will be cool with the wheels that belong on all your old trucks, that's how the old classics roll ! Unless there are no old stock parts, then you buy the over priced shiny stuff. Good luck to ya Steve, l will be watching you, drive, load, deliver and work on rebuilding the CAB OVERS!!! The way you invasion them! THANKS FOR SHARING 👍🏻. SEE YOU NEXT TIME, in the shop ? ✌🏻🧡🤘🌦 🇨🇦 ☕️⏳️👋.

Anybody with common sense knows you have to make money to make it all happen. I enjoy the split between your driving and working on the CL9000. Stay true to all that you do. That's a big project that some will not understand. I enjoy your content as most of us who watch do. We all would like to see that CL9000 go down the road. It is what it is. Don't work yourself to hard( I've seen you sweat on these hot days we've been having.) The world is not as good a place without you in it. I'm in my sixties and that is a hell of a job your doing , and I can tell you this......We can wait.

[@danimal0921]

@fsctrucking I have been kicking it around pretty much since you announced your plans for the CL9000/352. First, I am pretty sure that the make and model designation on this new ride would be "Fordpeter CL9352". This awesome ride is also gonna need an awesome name! My suggestion for his name is "FrankenFord Peterstein"... I know that it's kinda long, but you are combining parts from both to resurrect that awesome monster from the dead. Besides, the last step before bringing him back to life is going to be to hit him with a high-amp blast of (12 volt) electricity! 😊

[@danielseelye6005]

He's not Frankenstein'ing the Ford. He's only taking the rear ends of the 352 to make the 9000 a twin screw to put to work. It's in better shape than the 352 structurally. He's taking the rear frame off the 352 to use as a template for new steel frame to lengthen the Ford out, while needing to replace the _entire_ frame of the 352.

[@danimal0921]

@danielseelye6005 First and foremost, that was FULLY intended to be a little humorous. I didn't intend it to be ROTFLMBO hilarious, I didn't intend to insult Steve with the comment (crap, this dude is a freaking genius to figure out the best way to make both trucks functional and profitable again!) It was only intended to get a grin. Sorry if you didn't catch it... Last, in the story, Dr. Frankenstein took parts from (2 or more) multiple bodies to create a creature. That said, Ford...Peterbilt...if I'm not mistaken, that is 2 or more.

Hi Steve and in the early 1970,s my dad's cousins haulage firms mechanic built 4 wheelers out of tractor units . And they all worked for a few extra years. Sadly and maybe rightly? testing and plating rule changes put a end to it.

I'd like to call some of your viewers "dumb ass" but You Tube would probably say I violated their Community Stardards so I won't.

[@HyperActive7]

I don't understand why you have so many hecklers not seeing how rough the frame of the 382 actually was and the fact both trucks are getting rebuilt to do different things. I think trolls need to lighten up or go troll someone else's teat because I think what you're doing is keeping Americana and it's history alive and I really appreciate knowing people are actually trying to save their older vehicles because the newer stuff is crap and cops out after a couple of years.
