Mesmerizing Aluminum Tank Polishing On The Cabover! 

Iceman know his stuff. You can't rush perfection. One of my main homeboys is an awsome detail man. I nicknamed him Shine at work because he is the most skilled and absolute OCD driven detail men I have ever seen. Iceman will tell you that people will pick a detail job to death and everyone want a $10.000 detail for $25.00. I'd like to see some sponsors step on board and help Iceman out with some detail products. Those aluminum bars are not cheap nor are the pads and the buffers. Someone drop a hint to some of the sponsors or this post could make a great sponsorship opportunity. That truck would make many a driver happy to drive after all the mechanical work your putting into it.

Bruce: "Looks dont make money." Iceman: "Speak for yourself."

So let me get this straight. In this video we have cab-over restoration, National Anthem on an electric guitar and a burn out by an IROC-Z. AND people make money from it. 'Merica.

I hope you are paying ice man well,because of the smartass way you talk to him, he deserves it.

The truck is really starting to look amazing. I love watching the progress you're making on her!

Iceman is a legend... He could shine a piece of coal into a mirror

Those tanks are looking really pretty man lol. Ice man knows what he's doing that's for sure.

The truck is really coming along nicely. I've been a polisher for 26 years. And still enjoy seeing other people polishing. Looking forward to seeing more videos. I'm Duron Hankins owner of A1POLISH.

Pleeeeeease pull the air horn at least once. I need to please the inner 5 year old lol 😂

3 points of contact when getting in or out of a truck

HEY YOU NEED BIG U-BOLTS TO BOLT DOWN YOUR HEADACHE RACK VERY IMPORTANT !!!!! LOVE THESE OLD CAB OVERS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BRUCE!!!

The Cabover is coming back to Life!!! This is great!!! I am a railroad fan but i have always been interested in International Peterbuilt and Kenworth Trucks. Glad to see this Cabover truck is getting a second life!!! Keep it up Bruce!!!! Great family tradition of playing the National Anthem at a family get together. This series has been very enjoyable! Keep the videos coming!!!!!!

i like the way you backed right into the tractor and then edited it ahead to look like you parked fine. step up that mirror game, Bruce!

This project is so damn satisfying. I love seeing all the old parts coming off and all the new shiny stuff going on. You’re making me want to go out and start wrenching on my stuff now!

“Looks don’t make money” Some ladies may disagree with that statement. 🤣🤣 Merry Xmas.

Iceman polishes like machine top notch work💪

I feel Iceman’s wrists hurting all the way to here/Germany. Deepest respect for someone who makes a living that way. Btw: Is there a more American ending possible for this video?😁👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸KAG!

Hi from Queensland Australia! Been following the restoration since the start and loving it. You're doing a great job and the truck is looking awesome. Hope you trick out the interior with a modern look and some hi-tech gadgets. Cheers Rob

Not trollin, just wondering why you wouldn't drop the tanks to polish all around? Whole truck is looking awesome. Love watching the progression.

I was taught by many old truckers that you should always take pride in your ride and that good looks will make you money. Good job on the IH. The more you inspect the more you might replace. Really liking the rig!

Preventative maintenance is the best way forward. Especially when it comes to brakes on a trucks . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🚛🚛

Great another video of my favorite cabover on the internet......

I'm enjoying this restoration Bruce....all the way from the EMERALD ISLE 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

It's so nice seeing one of the grand ladies being brought back to life with pride. Beautiful job

Treat all that polished aluminum with Sharkhide and the shine will last for a couple of years.

Props to Iceman, he does a great job on things. Love the ending to this video.

I can hear what ya saying🙉. I had my headphones on and volume all the way up... The guitar in the beginning scared the crap out of me. 🤣

You're doing an awesome job bringing that ole girl back to life. I was a former Cummings Diesel mechanic and see something you might be aware of. These were great motors but had some weaknesses. I saw some streaking down the block between the 2 & 3 heads. The rocker box shaft orings were prone to hardening and leaking causing these streaks and are easy to replace. Another problem (much worse) is coolant leaking from under the heads. The upper block counter bores on the 350-444 hp engines would crack from the higher hp stresses. Cummings has a field repair fix back in the day of machining the counter bores beyond the counter bore cracks and then installing new counter bore insert sleeves. If it's the counter bores leaking you'll see coolant leaking from under the heads after a hard pull. Coolant will remove the block paint down to the bare metal where as oil will not. I see where your front accessary drive front cover seal might be leaking. Sometimes it's just the seal and other times the thrust is bad in the acc drive. You can check the thrust with an plastic hammer and a big pry bar. Take the hammer and hit the acc drive pulley all the way rearward and then take the pry bar in between the acc drive pulley and the front cover and pry forward. If the thrust is bad you'll have more than .030 play, IIRC. I always loved these Navistar chassis to perform engine work or an inframe.

Respecting the chrome and the dungarees Bruised Wilson!

you should rip the entire interior apart and lay down some SecondSkin deadener. the stuff does wonders! I use it for car audio and I instantly noticed how much more quiet my cab got from road and exhaust noise

Like the series, but that music went through my head like a nail. I actually felt my soul trying to leave my body.

Cabover trucks are one my favortie looking trucks ever!! Bring that bad boy back too life doimg a hell of a good job!!!!!

Still think you should repaint the cab though. But keeping the same paint scheme. Just my thoughts on the matter.

Never ever say “no chance” of problems. Lol I didn’t know aluminum could shin like that. Iceman is truly an artist.

What makes me laugh that bottom half of the truck looks all most brand New, then cab look run down. I say paint cab.

This video series is addicting. Love old trucks up to the 90s. That truck is ready for buisness man.

This whole thing is very interesting it’s at a point where I can’t miss an episode Lol 👍😁

truck is coming along great im not much into cab overs but enjoying the videos. i have a passion for restoring old trucks and any vehicle

Bruce are you ever going to be pulling a flatbed semi trailer to haul stuff like your tractors or trucks or something?

This is turning into a very cool truck. Finish it with a sweet paint job. The views for that video alone will probably pay for the work. Love this project!

You boys mind too much git'n yer azz over to Texarkana and bring me back 400 cases of Coors...? Lookin' good. :cheers:

1:29, best charging voltage is 14.2 volts and that is to encourage the battery to shed all the sludge induced on low mileage runs.

Polished parts look so good on these trucks but keep in mind how much you polish. If you decide to mirror finish that headache rack or something else that's big, it'll be a massive blinding hazard for anyone behind you. Unless you're only using it for off-road stuff, I'd leave it be or maybe do a brushed aluminium look?

Bruce, I am really enjoying watching this project unfold the way YOU choose to do it. Carry on, boss.

When you finish it please make a big trip and vlog it. Show us the life living in that bed!!!

Iceman is a badass at detail, the Master. Been loving this build series, I like the old cabover trucks.

This stutters looks like your SD-Card can't keep up with the bitrate of your camera

Ice-Man is a GEM. He’s the man! Bruce keep those videos comin’! Wishing you, Ice-Man, and the family a MERRY CHRISTMAS full of good health, happiness and success. Looking forward to your next video!

I know you said the fuel hoses are hydraulic. But are they rated for diesel? Because if you run non rated hoses sometimes they will turn to chewing gum on the inside.

Nice job iceman. I give anyone that does detail work a lot of respect since it's a very tedious job that requires patience. And I have no patience.

Iceman should have his own RU-vid channel👍💪

A lot of GREAT work Bruce! That truck has come a HELL of a long way. Iceman has MAD detailing skills! You go Iceman! 👍👏👌

Hey man I been watching you work on this truck since you first got it and it's addicting I've been restoring cars and trucks since I was a teenager but never a semi truck but I always wanted to. Looks like a fun project keep up the good work.

After watching this guy from the start of the truck vids I finally subscribed👍🏼

That was a cool burnout, but, the singing, don't give up your day job, lol

Fellow New Port Richey resident must say the videos are awesome man keep it up.represent!

I'd do the rods and mains on it if it was me And give it a tune up to Have the fuel pump turned up and set for factory specs for that truck

Bruce Wilson is outstanding job with restoration for vintage truck. He’s dreaming to become truck driver. I hope he have commercial license for this vintage truck! “Keep on Truckin”.....

Merica goddamnit!!!! Y'all know how to party right !!!!

Damn fine rig, grateful to see ole GAL coming back around!

Wish the tank came off for an all round polish. Considering the hoses were all out already.

During the 90's I consider becoming a truck driver. I remember the guy showing me around the Trucks for the company Who's name I don't remember saying we were seeing the last of the Cab-overs. Because the conventionals were more popular. You don't see them much anymore. But when I do, I hope they look as good as this one. I'm surprised at the number of young people who follow this project. I hope they keep giving you feedback and you continue to supply them with content. Thanks.

You have to get into the habit of stepping in and out of a truck the same proper way every time,otherwise,if you do it enough,you'll break something....sure as yer born. Justafact.

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! UM LOOKING TO GET MY CDL AT 56 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH BRO THANX!

To dismount you hold onto the steering wheel with your butt pointed out ,with your right foot in first stept you back yourself out.

You are going to have to hire the Iceman permanently just to keep the truck clean, loving the daily updates, keep em coming, hi from New Zealand

Videos are becoming less and less interesting to me. The first few were good, but starting to slow down. Nobody wants to see the band playing music.

I'm convinced Iceman is a wizard. That's just gorgeous work

Very nice. Greetings from Poland

Whoop, whoop!! That’s how FLORIDA does it brother!! Luv it

"Looks dont't make money" said no stripper ever.

How is that even possible. It's a work of art. Good job iceman

Why didn't you drop the tanks to polish them and add some fresh rubber on the straps?

Looks good brother I’ve been following this build from the start can’t wait to see her rolling down the road with a load good job bro keep saving these old trucks

Need to add drop sun visor And a Texas bumper on it

LOL! Just some random dude taking a nap under the pick up truck. 18:03

You should've given Iceman the day off, he didn't seem to into working today.

С каждым днем грузовик превращается в конфетку. Молодец!!!

He should add oil to the fuel, if he uses our current fuel with that older engine he will have injector and pump problems. I would add half a gallon of cheap oil to each tank, then at least one quart at each fill up. Or use Lucas fuel injector cleaner, it adds lubrication for pump and injectors

Got to send love that way for the care that you are showing that lady (truck). I would go back to driving again if I could drive another cab over Binder. I have so many good memories, Grapevine, Bear Mountain, Wolfcreek Pass, and on and on and on. Love what you are doing

They are steps on that cabover

This truck is going to be so Awesome when you are done with it Bruce 👍🎈👏👏

BEST CHANNEL ON RU-vid !!!

The wheels look great !! The trucks really taking shape

Hell yea brother

Ice man is a master in polishing big fan all love from chi town keep up the good work guy's the truck is looking amazing 😎👍

Driving that on the street, are you required to have a CDL or no? I am a commercial truck driver with a large LTL company, so I was curious.

Watching iceman set the table with that chrome is f-ing amazing,bro this dude needs a bonus and some sponsorship,u must take care of him he keeps showing up to work #iceman putting in work

You are awesome keep posting these vids, also you better have merch at wilsons tractor family is gonna be there in a week

18:23 want some? he's probably like man where is the pizza?🤣 bro that guy working really hard to make that tank and wheels bling. Please order some good food and ask him if he wants some on the next video.😇

Most Europe truck has flat front like those

Ice Man is really an artist. Such great work.

Love that intro ! God bless America KAG👍✌

Wow, fun times. This International project is cool. I drove one for McLanes way back in 1981 when Draughton McLane still owned it. Before that and for other companies I had a Transtar II. The bunk in the new truck was bigger.

definitely you should add a backup light on top of the truck including a spot light in the back on top of the truck and also a backup alarm I got my backup alarm and lights towards on Amazon definitely it should work on truck even lot better

Love how you do things right. Nothing worse than laying under a truck on a foggy night on Pennsylvania turnpike at midnight. Hint hint . million mile kilroy b right here. Again great videos and you're at the top of the game my friend. Thankyou

And front drums that you said were cracked are being swapped out.....right?

Rigs looking nice. It has made your channel for sure. A ton of new subscribers now. Hope you keep her. Love some COE

that phonedrop was clearly staged ;)

Looks help in making money, heard a confident semi driver drives well.
