Phil casually floating the gears giving advice. Good man.
He didn’t miss a beat. Just looked natural to him.
Lot Labi
As an old truck driver, I strongly approve of this truck. She became very beautiful in the end. Very well done. 👍
Agree 100% The colors are perfect. Not a flashy pimped out roller.
Man, that guy must have done some cow haulin or tanker yankin because he's one smooth driver. Definitely old school. Cool truck. Great video. Horn works.
That is one beautiful truck.it is the prettiest Cabover I ever seen. I drove for 40 years and had to retire on disability because I broke my back. I watch your videos daily. Can't do much else.
Lost count of phil’s “eh”s 😂😂
Man all his neighbors are awesome.
I like how you speak true Canadian when with your mates.
Props too those young guys detailing the interior, thats some hardworking youngsters!
Thankfully someone else noticed, and polite and great attitude both of 'em. 😊
Some of the coolest builds on KZhead. Good job Rich and crew!
I dunno I think the semi is ‘too nice’
Ok I saw the inside I take it back it’s not too nice.
"Standing Slow Clap" Beautiful!! Brought a tear to my eye. We ran over a million miles in the same truck hauling furniture across North America. Truly a special project I hope it hauls every day for ya!!! Peace Boss and Crew
Hangin' around Phil so much you got a gravelly voice. Phil's a great guy, helped you guys out a ton in this build. Awesome job by the guys on the interior refresh. Still details to do to make it great but, lookin' beauty.
I think one of the best things about these two builds is that you took them to your local parade. We need more involvement in our local communities and Rich, you are being a great example for others to follow. Thank you!
Not sure what I expected when you started this truck. I knew it would be cool. But you have exceeded my imagination by a lot. It is simply beautiful Rich. Mad respect. I never tire of your content. Best regards from Indiana.
That was great to see - thanks Rich. Vince riding in the tank for the parade - perfect
made his day I think!
Sitting at home with snow ever were unable to get jobs done feeling down and see this pop make me feel like I am going to have a good day well done and keep up the good work from the falkland islands 🇫🇰
Are you ready to fend off Argentina in ww3? Sorry about derailing but anyone who says war and unrest aren't on their minds is lying
This could start a long conversation and feel this inst the place for it. But I will say I am proud to be British and have full respect for the the troops in 82 being that is was 40yr ago. For all involved that liberated us in 82 to the love ones they left behind. For all they done for us 40yrs ago. We will always be in debt to them.
Hell yeah, I love it when tubers bring in young local companies for work 💪
It's great to see you showing off your hard work, Rich. You must be so incredibly proud of this truck, it's been a labor of love and taken a lot of ingenuity and willpower to get it from a rotting hulk in a farmer's field to this showpiece in a parade pulling your own tank. I'm always such a big fan of what you're doing, and I love that Vince was a part of the parade too - I know this project would never have happened without him either, especially that amazing exhaust/intake rack.
Vinnie! Vinnie!
I have a very soft spot for older K100's and 350 cummins redheads, put lots of miles on one eventually giving her a birthday with a big cam kit back in the day and she never let me down. Love this build!
I think all we can agree ya gotta show a short clip at night all light up. Looks awesome Rich. I grew up in a cab over so I appreciate this.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series of you building this Kenworth K100. You are a hell'uva fabricator, and a skillful mechanic Rich. Thanks for putting out videos, your channel is one of my favorite to watch on KZhead.
Thank you so much for restoration of those classic cab overs. Especially the (KW) the two young men, doing the details, what great young men. There work A+, especially when you look at it before and after. The joy the kids must have seen with that (Tracked) PU/Tank truck haul you showed off. That's why I did a Restoration on my 71 SeaGrave with 8-71 Detroit/5 speed. The Kids Love sitting in drivers seat. Making siren noses. Lots of parents ask me " Wow it's a manual transmission" young parents don't realize there was a time when all Firefighting Rigs had Manuals. Your attention to details is the best. I hooked up a Electric Horn to my steering wheel, so the Horn blows even with no AIR pressure built up for Air horn. It's so easy getting behind gages on older Fire Rigs. But boy what a maze of wires, there was duel everything Plus the wires where double for Horn/Siren switch's for steering wheel. It actually overheated the wires at button on horn, being it controlled the big Federal Q Siren. It had been Jerry rigged when I bought Engine. They had this big disconnect switch just hanging under Dash. They ran too small of wire size to horn button, someone after FD had surplus Engine wiring up a Electric connection with undersized wires. There was lots of corroded wires at connection, RUST ect.
I don't like the tank at all, but seeing Vince in the driver's seat made me smile. The K Dub is magnificent. Well done.
Gees.... save some for the rest of us! Turned out top shelf! Can't wait to see the chicken lights lit at night.... Red LED under glo, mounted on the bottom of each frame rail, bumper to bumper....
This is my favourite project on KZhead, well done Richard 👏
Always enjoy your builds and how much time you put into the details. My favourite from this video was the test drive with Phil 😃!
The perfection that is the front bumper.
You can tell Phil has driven some miles, cool calm and collective while floating them gears.
Vince riding in the tank, That’s awesome 👌🏻
That front bumper is like a mirror into a parallel universe... 😉
Rich as amazing as this turned out. Enough it enough. Time to finish the F350. That’s the build we are all waiting for
You gotta be proud of yourself mate, cos we are
...."eh" it's hard to believe I'm like 5 hours away. Awesome stuff, that rig is beautiful!
Wow the truck turned out awesome Rich, you can hear how much of your blood, sweat and tears went into that build to make that deadline , well done. Phil used to deliver stone to our yard 15 years ago with his 97 Mack before we switched suppliers. What a great guy, used to love hearing the odd story about the glory days of trucking from him. The world needs more Phils. Hello from the concrete guys on Glover rd Phil. Hope to see you on down the road, happy trucking.
absolute respect for this project! Greetings from Germany.
Rich, you must be damned proud of that truck! I absolutely love what you did to that Kenworth! Such a great video series. Thanks for doing these videos… and to think the very first video I watched was when you got that cherry picker running and off that lady’s yard after she had it sit there forever! I been hooked to your channel ever since! 👍🏻👍🏻
Making people smile is a unique ability, you seemed to have nailed it.
Went by V&R today and the rig was sitting out front. No matter how good it looks in videos it pales compared to seeing it live. Beautiful truck
I saw the Tim Hortons cup and it gave it away... Canadians ay! I didn't look up your description but the truck turned out really Nice, What a job you guys did. I thought you guys used Sleighs up there not 18 wheelers, Just kidding! Playing around. I Love Canada, Great folks up there and a super gorgeous land. Trust me if Canada didn't have does rough, tough winters it'll probably have more people that the U.S. Your policies and overall dynamics make your country a pretty nice place to be. But again a Super, Incredible job.... She looks Stunning, Great color scheme.
What's more Canadian then using a hockey puck? Using maple syrup instead of silicone to seal it.
She moves!! 👏🎉 Congrats guys, so great to see all your work come together!
she moved weeks ago lol. just a pain getting the paperwork
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Oops, missed that one 🤦♂️ still though, great to see it on the open road!
Thank you for your family friendly content. We enjoy watching your channel as a family and that hard work, talent and brains are still what is getting the job done!
Anybody else itching for the C10 LB7 build?? I cant wait
Props to Phil for being able to drive it no worries. Especially bobtail. I hauled road trains around Australia and very rarely ever was under 30 tonnes. If ever I was bobtail I couldn't shift to save my life. I'd grind every gear! It's quite an adjustment going from 100 tonnes to 10.
Great video that is a bad ass cabover I like the paint Scheme looks great interior came out very nice also I like all the Chrome on the truck to show support for your channel I did purchase a decal I'm very happy to display it
She's a treat Rich! What a rig.
nice build...if I may make a suggestion: the K100 was notorious for the dash catching fire...they used poor insulation on the wiring. if you are seriously considering putting that truck OTR the please ***go through and completely re wire the dash and fuse box all the way to the batteries*** and also put in a cab power kill switch.
Really nice project. I'd love to restore a W9. I ran straight stack, then I turned 19. That's tough to listen to ALL DAY AND NIGHT, especially with a jake.
What a beautiful monster, loved every minute of this project. Coming from the UK I really love to see how different US cabovers are built - such a cool truck. Congrats Rich and all the fellas who worked on this.
Only drove one K100 and that was a long time ago.... love the 3406B though, best truck engine Cat ever made!
One of my absolute favorite series you’ve done by far. You are a joy to watch work and create phenomenal things
Man that's a blast from some of our childhoods. That is one sick cabover it looks like Optimus Primes' cousin Rico Suave the smoothest of the Transformers.
Nothing like seeing a project through to completion and getting the gurus test drive and approval. Well done.
That KW is Bad A..!!!! Watching it pull the tank is a site to see!!!!! Nice!!!!!
Omg I love that rig. I’m from NH so sometimes we see new and old Canadian cab overs. I love them!! Yours is amazing.
I've built Two Semi's. A '70 W900 Kenworth; '69 White Freightliner. Each truck took two years. These were total rebuilds. I know what you went thru to put the KW together. Nice work.
Graphite powder or French chalk in the window tracks makes them open and close so smoothly.....
Love the build progress and how you have used new, rebuilt and salvage parts to bring this truck out of the grave and build the ultimate transport rig on youtube pulling the baddest square body ever!!
As Patrick swayze once said “ain’t nothing like a caterpillar engine”. 🤙🏻
Love the Hockey 🏒 puck mount
Loving the progress! Excellent work! The later replacements/versions of the window lift mechanism used push bike chain with metal sprockets. The early units are good until the plastic drive sprockets get brittle and shatter.
Rich, that rig sounds MINTY AF!!! 🤠👍🏼
You should bring that Kenworth down to Erskine MN for the 1st annual truck show they are having on July 2nd. It would be cool to see it there!
I'm not a big rig guy but that is a beautiful truck with a lot of work and craftsmanship put into it. I really respect what you do rich and enjoy the journeys. Keep up the great work.
this has to be one of the best looking trucks i've seen
You have done amazing job getting the KW back on the road
Back when things were simple, effective and lasted forever… I miss those days!! Nice truck.
We are in the golden age believe it or not. In a few years when we are faced with scenes from fall out in real life, we will envy our moments here.
The old K-Wopper turned out nice! 👍👍
Great as usual Deboss! Optimus Prime and The Shermanator link up for the kids. 😄
That's a glorious day there boys..well done in Dunville..beautiful rig!
Hi Rich. Wow! The rIg is looking magnificent. It's great to see it on the road.
Now you can take it on Power Tour next year
tow truck next year
Great looking large car. Love the way it barks coming off that corner at about 1400 rpm. Could watch that all day.
I already love the K100s, now you´re just making me jealous. 😂
Awesome cabover man
If u get new lights with regular plugs , they sell the 3 way plugs daisy chained together… less connectors less mess
i drove truck for 27 years. 15 of those years was with a fuller road ranger 13 speed. in my humble opinion that was the best tranny made.
That ol K100 is turning out awesome!!
Tip for detailing crew. Always lower the windows and clean the top of the glass.
Or you touch the window and it gets broken and stuck down
it got stuck down lol hence the fix
Rich you should be proud! Awesome job on the truck, tank and video.
My dream truck since childhood watching Schwarzenegger's Terminator movies. I wish to own a similar one or drive it one day....Much love from Burundi 🇧🇮
Nice use of a Hockey Puck👍👍
Phil has an excellent taste in hats
This is why I became a trucker back in 1986 .. Love old school Petes and Kenworths..... Today driving automatic Volvos 😴😴😴😢
That thing looks amazing! Kudos Rich.
When you said "tank" I was expecting a tank trailer. I used to pull tanks to deliver petroleum products. That tractor looks super nice!
Wow. What a transformation. Gorgeous truck
Cabover semis bring back memories here in the USA🇺🇸, especially those Kenworths. That GMC fullsize pickup on the trailer, those third generation GMC & Chevrolet C/K series pickups with the crew cabs are rare nowadays too, but the regular cab ones on the other hand I still see out on the roads today, not many of the stepsides but a lot of the fleetsides.
Your little helper, from the right angle, kind of looks like Hawkeye from Marvel :D
I'm glad to see this truck project from beginning to end. it came out beautifully.
You have a good group of friends
Love these 2 projects. Epic builds!!!! Not sure how you are going to top this. You are the man Rich!!
Amazing build! Looks sharp, AND pulls!
Damn that machine is pretty!... and the Kenworth looks nice, too.
What a beautiful ride. Resarected from the graveyard to a pride n polish ride n style large car!
Love how phil tries to convince you to use it to haul gravel... Rich... Its not an offroad truck... Minutes later the truck is driving off road thru a grass field lol
That is one beautiful cabover !!!
The K100 looks absolutely beautiful! Great job.
Trucks looking great really love the maroon color
I've enjoyed every step of this build...thank you!
