Don't ever stop taking us along on your projects Rich. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@uliwehner]

@Rich, came over from the other channel. i am a big cabover fan, following quite a few channels. so here it goes. Since you are going for the "stretched look", here is my recommendation. On the old frame the battery box is under the cab, as is the air filter usually. On the new frame you can do what you want. Since you have the big sleeper and the faring panels, why don't you put the battery box and the air filter behind the cab with the stacks? that allows you to push the tank all the way forward. if you choose the right size tanks they should not be longer than the cab with faring. this gives the frame a really clean look for the stretched show truck effect. stick the air tanks where you can't see them, nice deckplate on the frame with a sunken box for the air hoses, voila! showtruck.

[@hithere7382]

I have a freightliner FLB done up like this in American Truck Simulator, it's awesome.

[@Cemi_Mhikku]

@@hithere7382 I actually have a K100E Aerodyne VIT set up much like this (also in ATS, lol)... excepting the fuel tanks being sodding huge. I liked the trimmer lines, but prefer the practicality of being able to do a few thousand miles before needing to top off again. Which is... not really necessary, but... meh, filling stations suck donkeys!

[@hithere7382]

@@Cemi_Mhikku I had a mod in the past that did many things including making your truck yard diesel 5x or so cheaper. This incentivized huge tanks. I have a K100 VIT too but in the mods packages I'm running the other one can fit more lights on it so that's the one I use. Now if only they'd let me make it 8x6

[@JTRtv]

Funny thing, before you bought this truck, they lived right next to the park where my trailer is at! I recognized yours instantly in the other video. I drove by those rigs so many times thinking what a cool project that guy was taking on. I even remember seeing his red truck sitting there one day and then your truck sitting in the lowboy the next day.

Need a pole barn to park the bigger projects out of the weather. Just a big roof would do a lot, old telephone poles may be a good start.

[@Trueno1600]

Hey @Rich, if you ever get to polish those wheels, use Alumaclear for clear coat. That stuff is awesome and made for the trucking industry, specifically for polished aluminium. I used this for a set of Ranger Level 2 Alcoa wheels that I restored and hand-polished to a mirror finish. The manufacturer recommends reapplying every 2 years; I'm pushing almost 4, and it still didn't dull or peel. I even had somewhat of a hard time stripping it off one of the wheels with acetone to send it for repair! It a bit on the pricey side but you get your money's worth!!!

[@morgansword]

The 3406 B was a favorite with most of us log truck drivers as well, but deep pockets just to get one as you could buy four detroit 92 series or two cummins or one cat engine for the money. Kinda told you how much each one of us had in our old log trucks. I bought a wrecked LN9000 Ford truck that everyone walked by in a auction with the 3406B engine and thirteen speed with a working speedometer saying less than two hundred thousand. I admit it was a gamble as the truck was a twisted up pile and so took chance motor wasn't broken some place. I got a rabbits tail in my pocket that day as every part of the running gear was good. Almost everything else was wasted. I knew exactly what you meant when taking that mattress out as who knew what lot lizard was in there before. I haven't felt well for a quite a while so kinda lost track on how the cat engine into the ford truck was going. Must be finished by now and in your collection. I was thinking that you were kinda outdoing Driveway Drews truck when you were building yours. I think its great that you have room to work outdoors on some of the projects. I like fresh air and yet love the smell of a diesel engine firing up. I don't mean breath all you can of it but just remembering how nice it was to twist the key on my rig at twenty below and ice on the ice cold mornings to head out and haul trees to market. That was the seventies and early eighties.

[@J.R.in_WV]

No doubt on the deal with the cost to rebuild the kitty cats. I can inframe a big cam 3 Cummins for under $5k using an OE Cummins kit, and a 318 Detroit for even less than that. Last time I checked using Cat OE parts you can’t even buy the pistons and liners for that, let alone bearings, gaskets and seals.

[@gregorystewart6539]

EZRider359 just put a fresh Cat in place of his Cummins recently. That was a US$50,000 touch. He has a really good channel along with TwinStick Garage.

[@Multi-Skill-Bill]

I watched both vids. In one of them you made mention of the air valve near the cab hydraulic pump. Cement trucks have those also (yeah, I work on them too.) I believe that to be so you can raise that cab with air pressure as well. Some cement truck hoods are designed that way. Happy me, those hoods are HEAVY!

I feel the same way so I did a search for Kenworth K100 for sale. Found one like in the video that has been kept in a out building for years. Cost was around $8600 but with no title as the older gentleman that owned died & his family couldn't find the title. My heart started racing though when I kept looking & found a red Kenworth K-Whopper Aerodyne that was older but still in use as a back up tractor. Miles were decent, lotsa new (er) parts and it was only around $28,000 USD. (Sigh)

I have logged a lot of miles in one of those KW Cabovers. Back in the 80's I ran out of Omaha, NE to the west coast in one of them. We ran swinging meat or boxed meat out and produce back. We ran anywhere from Olympia, WA to San Diego, CA. We would be out anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, get a couple days off and go right back at it.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I just saw an older (round headlights) K100 flat top in a fuel island this morning. It's the drivers "working project" and has a Detroit 8v92 ta, 15 speed and 40k Eaton rears with a 3.55 ratio. He's already gone through the entire drivetrain and front end. It was pulling a 48' stainless reefer on a 10' 1" spread heading to Cincinnati.

Hey Rich, I'm sure you probably have heard of the "Crome Depot" In Mantua, Ohio. There good friends of mine Bill (the owner) And Michael (Manger) Will have custom exhaust (up to 14") and just about anything crome or stainless you would want for this project. And YES the ship to 🇨🇦 all the time. Kim Kuhnle did a K100 a few back like this, 2 into 1. It started with a double bunk Areodyne single axle. And ended as a Areodyne tandem with a C-16 (600hp) And a overall wheel base of about 310 inches. They switched it over to hub piloted rear wheels. And went with 390 rear gear and used the 18spd that came with the 2004 C-16 out of the W900L that was hit by a remote control train in a chemical plant in WV. I love these builds, can't wait to see it all put together.

[@travissmith2067]

31:55 Rich look into Jet Hot coating, It works great on any exhaust system is any exhaust system even on a running truck it's almost cool to the touch so it also lowers EGT's in in engine bay. I use it on everything now race cars snowmobile is Earth's snowmobile's and my Debbie haul freightliner
