He will be well rounded when he gets older because you care to show him and let him learn. Great job as a parent as well.. By the way.. I'm loving your will to bring the cabover back.

    The ATHS(American Historical Truck Society)would appreciate the fact that you are rescuing these old cabovers,and putting them to work;using them to haul loads with,which is what they were designed for.
    Plus they don't build cabovers here in North America anymore,so they have become a rarity out on the roads;and they sure do catch people's attention especially now that these old trucks have attained vintage status.

    First time viewing your channel , I can’t watch to much without wanting to get back OTR ! Lol. I love the Freight Shakers , I drove a 1983 for 15 years and I miss it ! Overall I drove for 35 years but now retired ( back injury ) but you don’t see to many cabovers on the road anymore and the new tractors I guess are automatic ! DANG ! Today’s drivers ( not all ) are steering wheel holders ! I watched a guy take 15 minutes to back up into a dock ! My grandpa told me anyone can drive down the road but it takes a trucker to back it up ! Shiny side up , rubber side down !

      I’m not a huge fan of guys using box tubing for running duel exhaust. It breaks up the flow for the exhaust and sound is not as good as 5in pipe. But that’s just my opinion. But it’s definitely a cool rig

      @@Gentryandsons Yes I did. Thanks for the heads up. What you bought, the Freightliner was what we used at one time. With the length of the bed, it could have been one of the Missile guidance section tractors. The generator behind the cab ran all the electronics and hoists in the trailer if site power had problems and ran the environmental systems enroute to the silos. Thanks. If I had my choice, I would drive a cab over everyday instead of a car. Better views! Let me know when it's done, I would like to see it. MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.

    I drove a K100 for my uncle. He had a trucking company based out of Miami.
    The K100 was a 1979 flat top. It had a cat 3406 with 400 hp and 1050 torque. A 13 speed and the ride was horrible. Anyways, his fleet consisted 25 379’s. The k100 was 12 years old when I started driving her. I only drove while on break from college. That COE was my favorite truck. I turned down a 379 just to keep driving my K100. I wasn’t a fan of the long hood.
