Good Lord that old cabover looks better used than many trucks do after restoring. I can't get over that condition of that truck, it's nicer than a lot of 2016 models much less 1986 ones.
Real beautiful rig, my dad had a 1986 K-Dub cab over the was also a United Van Line fleet truck but it was a flat top, same paint n all so seeing yours takes me right back to childhood.
Dang. ! That truck is like brand new. ! Unbelievable. In the last 45years. I knew alot of United drivers. They made a lot of money back in the Day and always had the best equipment. Money was no object. You can tell by how great that truck is. Good Luck with your new project. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸
That is a very nice find my friend, hope she does you well and to her. Really nice truck for it to fade-away now. Can’t wait to see what you gonna do next with it...till next time.
Just Subscribed to your Channel and i will be looking foward to your videos. This bought back some old thoughts. I drive an 1981 Kenworth K 100 Aerodyne for Alliend Van Lines after High School. 435 Detroit 13. Great Truck.
Omg that's an amazing KW you have. It looks fantastic and I am sure you'll make look even better. Please don't stretch her though...lol. Thanks for posting.
You don't have to worry about me stretching it. Not sure why thats a thing anyway but it won't be done to mine. Going to start replacing are bags and suspension components soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch. I appreciate it!
@@threatnet1 My pleasure brother. It’s a joy to see old iron restored and the people like you who sacrifice time and money to make it happen. Just subscribed. Hope all goes well.
Wow that’s amazing thanks for showing the inside so many cabover videos don’t bother to show the interior. My dad learned to drive on a K100 just like this but it was Werner blue ex Werner truck pulling a flatbed for a small outfit in Northern California
My son has been wanting to tackle restoration of a 1976 KW his dad bought for me, the farm's #1 grain hauler, chief cook & bookkeeper, in 1988. After hauling corn from field to town in a couple of 1973 tandem axle C60 Chevy dump beds pulling pups I gave the ultimatum, No A/C, No driver! We ran the KW for 10-12 yrs, but parked it when after putting a driver in it we realized the front end was just too wore out for it to be on the road, even for short hauls. By then I'd graduated up twice into a couple of Pete 379/Cats. I'll tell my boy to watch your suspension repairs, as I'm sure the 76 needs them. My husband handled the mysterious maintenance & repair stuff. Due to all the DOT & insurance hassles I'm not going to put a diesel tractor back on the road in my name, thus I have to come up with a fair market value to sell it to my son. 😄As an antique it may be out of his price range now. We gave $5K for it. The boy can worry about insurance & upkeep thereafter. I'm excited to see it back on the road, but keeping my poker face on.
I was with United Van Lines with a 1985 Kenworth K100E 90" Aerodyne on 235" wheelbase. I had a 96" drom box behind with crawl through with shower, toilet, refer, micro, sink, double bed. I stretched the frame to 283" wheelbase, had a 32 foot custom box made with garage in the back for a small car, took out the 13spd put a Allison HT740 transmission in-it is my motorhome now.
If you look on front of the truck under drivers windshield there should be a number , it represents the agent the truck was leased to during its day . Owner operators had to lease thru United van lines agents instead of straight to the company. Finding the number will give a little more history of the truck . Great truck. good luck with it .
It should have a fridge on passenger side I think does it work and stretching it some will make a world of difference if you ever plan on spending more then a day of driving it I know from personal experience all my dad ran up till late 90s early 2ks was cabovers but nothing crazy even like a 250inch wb will save what back some of us (outlaws) have left lol and hell the average hood is 250 to 260 anyway but whatever you do with it it is a top notch looking ride and looks like it had an owner or two that had pride in their ride and you are continuing it

She is a beauty, nice job finding this gem

@@threatnet1 nice truck, mate, agree with Clayton Brown, so many good original cabovers are ruined by stretching them.
I agree the whole point of a cabover is to be short but then people stretch them out to 310” for no reason
@@theoregontruckerT880 my ol flat roof K125 has only a 144in wheelbase but I like it. Look forward to seeing more content on the aerodyne.

Great find! You don’t find many like that.
Nice! My ole Cab Over was used at the same company yours came from haha. Seems like it was well taken care of!
Very nice 👌
Old bedbug hauler from United. I wrote that just @s you saying it. Nice truck.

I always liked that paint scheme. The interior is in amazing shape. The only thing I question is the bumper. I don’t think it belongs on that truck.
LIKE your shirt/Van is the real Orange crush... Bad Ass
How many miles on this beauty?
Sweet! Where’s it at
Yep, I'm officially jealous.
Me2!!!!!
i love the video hows the truck sound and does the air horns work or no
The van is sick. Any plans on making any videos on it? And is it a Quigley or you built the whole lift and 4x4 from scratch?
I build them all from scratch with new and used parts from Pathfinder Vans. Check out my Instagram page @pathfinder4x4vans
