You either love what you do or you go crazy. Glad you're having fun cowboy, this was definitely interesting and I can't wait to see another video here. Keep it up cowboy and have a good one! 👊👍
When you talk about dreaming about it. My husband ran an excavator and at night he would be dreaming sitting up in the bed and arms moving and talking to me or who ever in his dreams while he was sleeping . Trying to teach me how to run the excavator . Cause he was a trainer . It was so funny to me.
The newer truck's cabs are made out of plastic and fiberglass, which making the crusher a lot easier then a solid steel truck cabs. Such as Mack (Bulldog), and Kenworth (K-Whopper).
Seems the cabs have alot of parts still, mirrors with brackets,air horns,handles over cab lights and more. Some of the mirror assembly used 300.00 plus a set.
Those semi cabs are something else. They crush if you can find the right side to crush 'em on though! Sometimes you gotta play around with some of them to figure out how they work. After a few, you'll be figuring out what will work pretty fast! :D
I've been to an all semi tractor wrecking yard, definitely different! Only wrecking yard we ever got locked inside after it closed for the day! Haha brought back memories!
Nice to see you snagged the Peterbilt badge. When was just a little kid, I loved Kenworth trucks (still do!). One year for my birthday, my mom and stepdad went to the local truck wrecking yard and got me front and side emblems off a junked truck. That was over 40 years ago and I still have them on display.
Hey cowboy I can say this you have the coolest job ......this is the shit right here I love.... it's like my childhood when I smashed my cars and I'm 40 now and still like to do this lmfao
I have a 1993 Freightliner fld120 that's aluminum yet but the whole dash and door panels are plastic, fiberglass hood on my truck, aluminum doors and roof panels
Seen a newer international truck, fiberglass cab, sleeper, doors, hood, no metal in it don't know how safe I would feel, at least no rust, most trucks aren't built like that, most have steel doors and panels here and there
yea, now this is good stuff with the simi's. I could watch these all day. make some long videos of this. bad thing is the emblems, horns and stuff going in the crusher also. I would be pulling all I could.
I’m truck driver. Most of semi made out plastic, fiberglass and only have very little of steel and aluminum. But if u find old trk like 1990 or before I’m pretty sure there’s good amount of steel, aluminum on it…
Do you have a case on you phone? If so, the holder might not be able to grip the phone as well. See if the holder works better without the case. I found that works on the phone holder for my tripod.
Hey Cowboy! I think I'd lay the single cabs on their back, two at a time. Fiberglass sucks no matter how you do it. Always a good show! Love crushin'!!!!
I was always wondering how they scrapped larger trucks. I kinda figured the probly just brought them to a scrap yard and tore them apart with the grapple and cut the frame with the shear. This is an interesting way to do it. Even though ive been in the scrap industry and followed it sense I was a little kid theres always sumn to learn
Ok, I'm done! Crushing an extremely rare Peterbilt cab over that looks intact! Restore it,don't crush it! I can't stand good vehicles getting destroyed just for the price of scrap metal!
Oh my god, I own 3, that is not a rare truck, that was some vocational cab, judging from the wheel well location. There was a time when cabovers were absolutely worthless and that's when they mostly got scrapped
They are expensive to restore and you have to be committed to keep them running, and as toys they don't pay for themselves, and driver's don't want to drive them around
Just came across this video. I had a guy hit me head on in 2019 and my Freightliner was totaled after the entire works went off the road and into the woods. Along with my electronics and personal items, I had my pistol in the bunk and that was the one thing that I truly needed to recover. Which I was able to locate and take with me.
Hurts a bit since I like rigs, but I know they are more useful as parts. I want one of those big winged Hino emblems, badges whatever you want to call them.
It is incredible to see how many times you have to try and flattened out those cabs like a pancake, and when you see some of the st e semi*s or buses when they overturn or have been in an accident like, where it involves even the trailer, they twist & crunch like a pretzel, including the chassis, and you have to give it a couple of tries to fully squash the living daylights out of them, that is so true, with those school buses, but when they are involved in a collision, or flip over ,they come apart, sometimes leaving just the chassis, while the rest comes apart,how is that possible.
I want a Volvo 70 inch truck cabs with condo sleeper's. You know the kind with a nice table and just comfortable.Don't care about the hood but would like doors and windshield in tack.
I ran many loaders in my years of crushing started out with an old Pettibone psuper 6 then dad bought a brand new Pettibone super 8 it's still in the yard. I have ran ford, Michigan, and even a john deere loved it until it broke in half guess our three car bundles with cars filled with junk and tin throwen on top was to heavy for it. My brother took over the yard and he bought a new Komatsu and loves it.
We had two Big Mack car crushers . They where built in Dallas Tx. Both had remotes . You could crush and jog the crusher from inside the loader . Much faster work . Your ground guy could stay busy wrapping bundles , picking up trash on the ground and booming loads down .
Cowboy Car Crushing Ya u got a nice loader . Looks like a John deer . Mayb 544 or 644 from the looks of it . We had a 544 and a 644 and a cat loader , but that cat loader couldn’t handle the weight like the John Deere’s could . Put three cars on the forks of the cat loader and the two back wheels be off the ground .
Hello . I think you should put the cabs Front in the press first, because that is where most of the steel is . maybe you can even 2 have them side by side . certainly the day cabs fit side by side . kind regards Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Sad to see history get crushed. Reminds me of my grandfather telling me about all the model t's and a's he buried. Back in the day the just put them in a hole and buried them. What would they be worth today. Times have changed .
Cowboy do me a favor and keep up with the awesome attitude. It's rubbing off on me.
Gotta keep being positive. Bad attitude makes life suck. Keep smiling and trying
Ugh low-key wish I could get those mirrors tho. Good video
Sad watching that Pete cabover getting squished.....
I was thinking the same thing..
ikr, we should save old classic rigs =C
@@RileyRailAviationNTrucks classic semis rule!
I'm three yrs late but that could have been a can for a truck builder for nice custom cabover that's dead and gone
You either love what you do or you go crazy. Glad you're having fun cowboy, this was definitely interesting and I can't wait to see another video here. Keep it up cowboy and have a good one! 👊👍
My dad always said, “Do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Took me a long time to find it. But so happy i finally did 👍
That guy in the green literally trusts you with his life.
Yes he does. And I constantly look out for his safety
His name is Mario
This was the most simple video but had my attention like a god dang movie good stuff man.

Where is this salvage yard located? It looks like the one near I-35 in Waxahatchie
Cowboy: howdy buddy! Loving your videos. Question: could you use your grading attachment to fold those cabs in to minimize the forks going through?
I LOVE YOUR JOB COWBOY YOU ARE THE CRUSHING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU'LL BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER GOD BLESS YOU GUY'S..
You guys are the only people I've seen that come to a yard and crush for people! Very cool
Those semi cabs are something else. They crush if you can find the right side to crush 'em on though! Sometimes you gotta play around with some of them to figure out how they work. After a few, you'll be figuring out what will work pretty fast! :D
i run equipment all day long and when i come home i watch your videos. love it keep it up
super cool always wondered what those yards did with their shells
I've been to an all semi tractor wrecking yard, definitely different! Only wrecking yard we ever got locked inside after it closed for the day! Haha brought back memories!
Wouldn't be a cowboy video if the phone doesn't fall at least once 🤣
Exactly. It's part of the show 👍😄
Hi Cowboy, glad you saved that Peterbilt badge, start your collection...nice first bundle...
A local junk yard here, made a scraper from a grader blade. The forks slide in the slots, and held with chains and load binders
Nice to see you snagged the Peterbilt badge. When was just a little kid, I loved Kenworth trucks (still do!). One year for my birthday, my mom and stepdad went to the local truck wrecking yard and got me front and side emblems off a junked truck. That was over 40 years ago and I still have them on display.
That's real cool
what is the coolest thing you have found in cars or trucks or semi trucks that you have taken home
7K and i will show y'all. I got some cool knick knack paddy whacks
Hey Cowboy maybe try phone suction cups🤔 it can be able to hold a phone!
And hey Coeboy how did you get cracks on your windshield?
Wait!!! I saw a hand in that truck. 🤔
Hey cowboy it's Joe you should put a set of those air horns on the tractor lol
Hey cowboy I can say this you have the coolest job ......this is the shit right here I love.... it's like my childhood when I smashed my cars and I'm 40 now and still like to do this lmfao
Studebaker big truck is now Western Star, since they built trucks in Canada.

Cowboy, your channel is doing great lol
Lol as long as no Smokey ain't chasing them Cowboy I'm sure you'll figure it out lol
A whole lotta luck involved in trucking...that's why i don't drive. It ain't Easy being Easy
Do you know which gas monkey episode that you were in?
And most of the newer cabs are mostly plastic n fiberglass anyway!

You guys be careful this weekend and next week with bad storms heading for Texas!
I’m truck driver. Most of semi made out plastic, fiberglass and only have very little of steel and aluminum. But if u find old trk like 1990 or before I’m pretty sure there’s good amount of steel, aluminum on it…
Thanks for keeping us going. We need you truckers. Thanks man 👍🤠👊
Sending them to the big truck stop in the sky! Keep up the good work man!
I remember you crushed a yellow cab semi but semi's & school buses come out messy pieces of plastic falling off but also hard to crush
Did you gat anything for your truck?
You scored with the Peterbilt badge. One great perk to your job is them badges.
Eastbound and down loaded up and truckin doin what they can't be done. Cowboy u got them ears on. We've got a run 2 make. :-)
It's not often I see semi's crushed but I did see how they tear apart an old city bus in my area of New York from the frame to the wheels
Do you have a case on you phone? If so, the holder might not be able to grip the phone as well. See if the holder works better without the case. I found that works on the phone holder for my tripod.
Where do the bundles go? That’s a lot of fiberglass
Do you have any international cabs. Rolled a truck and looking for one
I don't know yet. You've see just a much as i have but we should get more opportunities to look around
A lot of miles on those cab's....
Funky stuff.....👍😂😂🤔
1st bundle does look a little Funky
I do enjoy the anticipation of a good phone drop....👍♥️😂😂🤔👍
Hey Cowboy! I think I'd lay the single cabs on their back, two at a time. Fiberglass sucks no matter how you do it. Always a good show! Love crushin'!!!!
Y didn't they keep the copper brass radiators ?

They keep the weight down building these trucks so they can fit more load on the back, and I suppose to keep fuel costs down too?
I'll take credit for that scraper idea 😁
Ok, I'm done! Crushing an extremely rare Peterbilt cab over that looks intact! Restore it,don't crush it! I can't stand good vehicles getting destroyed just for the price of scrap metal!
It annoys me too. It’s such a waste of history and extremely bad for the environment to boot.
Oh my god, I own 3, that is not a rare truck, that was some vocational cab, judging from the wheel well location. There was a time when cabovers were absolutely worthless and that's when they mostly got scrapped
They are expensive to restore and you have to be committed to keep them running, and as toys they don't pay for themselves, and driver's don't want to drive them around
You can't save everything, some have to be sacrificed to make way for the new trucks being made out of old trucks
The Jibber Jabber we still produce brand new steel from new ore.
Love the peter builts COE from 70s to 94
Howdy Howdy cowboy 🤠 crushing truck cabs let's go for it lol. Most the first cab was fibre glass and alloy.
I' m seeking for a passenger side turn signal lens for Ford Ranchero 77-79.
Heard ya the 1st time.....hahahaha
They sure shed a bunch of plastic. another day another dollar huh!lol
Isn’t fiberglass not recycable?
Optimus prime meets his maker.
That's exactly what i was thinking. I was going to mention that in the video 👍😄
Cowboy Car Crushing lol 😂
You could tell that Peterbuilt was old school cause it was mostly metal. I would've loved to get one or 2 of them Peterbuilt badges
Hey when you crush one of those armored trucks poke the windows see how many times it takes before it goes through don't forget to give me a shout out
Just came across this video. I had a guy hit me head on in 2019 and my Freightliner was totaled after the entire works went off the road and into the woods.

Whoa...sounds like you had some luck on your side
@@CowboyCarCrushing yeah - somebody was looking out for me.
Hurts a bit since I like rigs, but I know they are more useful as parts. I want one of those big winged Hino emblems, badges whatever you want to call them.
What's the hardest thing that You've crushed?
An ambulance
Where are all 90 of those crushed truck cabs going to go after you crushed them ?
Cool job !!
Oh i absolutely love it. I truly feel like i won the lottery of 9 to 5's. Thanks Owen for watching and commenting 👍👊
What do you think about the new Trailblazer?
I would like to drive one. I don't know anyone that has one but i have seen em running around town
I would like to to know, if in that same place, do they bring the city buses over there or is that a whole new ball game.
The city buses are at a different yard
Is that the yard on 45 up in Hutchins?
35 and waxahicie
@@CowboyCarCrushing I know where that one is. Not all that far from me
Eek! Poor Peterbilt! Save the badge! It’s bolted on, three or four studs to break.
I’m just a dude in a hat 😂😂😂
Now this is what I like to see when I get home!
Nice video my friend Cawboy 😀👍
So much plastic and fibreglass in those newer cabs. Loved that cab over Peterbuilt! Classic truck.
made a pancake out of that road commode
This is where imported cars belong straight off the production line in China to the crushed.
That Peterbilt COE Cab looks like it came off of a schlumberger truck
that Peterbilt badge would be an awesome belt buckle....lol
where you get your fuel at?
Commercial filling station near our company yard

Where is this junk yard
I can tell you know what your doing . Your doing a good job . I miss crushing cars .
maybe put them in the crusher facing you
it may help getting them in easier and less mess
Optimist prime, u going in the crusher.
Cab cakes
man way to short of a video of this. I would love to see them all get crushed. I love it when you have different stuff.
It's just slow going. I don't wanna waste anyone's time

Hello .
I think you should put the cabs Front in the press first, because that is where most of the steel is .

So many parts to pick... cab lights... air horns... steering wheels... air seats... emblems.
Lay them side ways an crush them if they. Lay in there. Like that iv crushed them befor but it was with a. Dozer
There's guys restoring them old cabover Pete's that would use a bunch of parts from that one
Lol 🤣 Love it
I had a real good time there. Hoping to get back over there
I wonder how many driven miles are in that yard? 😮
Howdy howdy Cowboy
