www.SemiCasualShow.com This Peterbilt Cabover has got the be the coolest most unique truck we have seen in a long time! J&L Contracting is first class with this sweet ride. Looking for a new Peterbilt? www.FitzgeraldPeterbilt.com
as a mechanic, its way to nice to be on the jobsite in the dust & mud!!! very nice & well thought out & a show piece!!!! put it in the field & it will be trashed in 4 months even with the best of intentions of keeping it nice!!!! i have spent over 30 years in a service truck!!! you can keep it clean but wear getting in & out of it several times a day & the beating it takes on the job site year round takes it toll.....
p isom that is my feeling as well. We always called the guys who serviced our heavy equipment "grease monkeys". Well you can't be the run of the mill service guy running this rig with greasy hands and work clothing unless you totally change your mindset about keeping clean. I imagine a guy who puts on a service coat each time he gets out of the cab, puts on nitrile gloves and rubber boots then cleans up like a surgeon scrubbing for surgery after his work is done, not to mention wiping off all the tools and equipment after each service call. It just won't happen in the real world. But she is sure a thing of beauty right now!!
@@georgemccoy219just how you take care of it. If you want to keep it nice it will stay nice. I also know people who have trashed service trucks in less than a week
POOH , is one lucky guy to have this as his rollin shop . The attention to detail in and out of that thing in impeccable!!! Beautiful build you guys hit the mark !! Super cool service rig , best I’ve ever seen !!!
Jamie and his crew build some really cool stuff. Gentry & Sons did a walk by on this and I wanted to see more. Semi Casual did a great job interviewing Jamie and highlighted this truck. A lot of very cool items and thoughts went into this ride! Great video! Can't wait to see @ MATS hint, hint.
What a service truck! Love the fact it's a cabover too! Super paint scheme and color combo with matching interior. It doesn't get much better than this! I wish it was mine to show off! LOL! Thanks for the in depth walk around tour.
I'm normally not a cabover fan, but that truck is another level of cool. The workmanship and attention to detail are above and beyond, the truck is show ready, and I know what it takes to get a working tractor or straight truck show ready. As far as the working part of the truck, they did some serious thought in setting it up for the job, and it sounds like the guy that will be driving it is also one of the guys that set it up, so I'm sure he'll keep it spotless.
WoW ..it gets no better than this, this is unbeatable, every square inch of every surface is a masterpiece and finished to perfection, it would be a shame to get it dirty and would probably take a month to polish it back up. Amazing work, nothing else will ever come close.
First I want say this is absolutely a gorgeous truck. I have been the military for almost 26 years with 4 more to go before I retire. When I was young in the military I was true jet mechanic. Seeing this beautiful truck like this as a mechanic makes me rejoice inside to see something so mechanical beautiful. I usually don’t watch a lot of RU-vid videos all the way through unless it gets my attention and this truck. I agree with someone else comment. PUT IT ON SHIRT!! I would buy one. One last thing I know the camera don’t do it justice. Yes a 10 and then some.
This is literally my dream truck that has been in my mind for years. Mine would have a gold stripe( like a fire engine) instead of the grey but besides that it’s like y’all read my mind on the perfect truck. Great build. The fella that gets to drive this and work off it is one lucky guy.
Don't forget the truck I designed and sent you guys on paper. lol. As a disabled military mechanic.. I WANT THAT TRUCK (but as a Pete 379 with NO EPA junk).
I got out of a C.O.E. In like 87’ and never looked back. My dad had three neck surgeries from driving those GMC Astro daycabs hauling steel for GM. That’s beautiful for sure.
That is one mean heavy duty Cabover service truck. The stance when you just stand back is unbelievable. All the great details are hidden from plain site. Awesome truck. The truck sure have a nice theme to it. I see a lot of Milwaukee Tools in their that fits well with the black and red and silver color.
That's one fine service truck, if the service trucks that I drove was that nice I would still be driving. Awesome truck, and great video, thanks for the ride along. Semi Casual rocks.
What were you fixing? I'm getting talked to by the boss man about what I want in my service truck it's going to under cdl weight. I asked for a used one bc everybody else has an old service truck. I mentioned if I could get a manual it be nice and I mentioned it would be nice t have a pre emissions cat engine in it since we are expected to work on our service trucks also. Anything I sad wrong or need to also consider. BTW the truck will have a suspension overhaul and a new box on it
Beautiful rig. Cool to see the interest in cabovers these days considering the reason for their existence. My father usually drove cab overs coast to coast in the 70’s and 80’s so I spent plenty of time in them as well. Love the content. Keep up the great work and we’ll see ya in the next one. 10 out of 10 for sure
That is a proud owner, you can really tell by the way he talks about the rig! And I imagine that when he says "the guys" he talks about the guys involved in the company that's been included in building the truck, I hope that's the case at least and that he's not just ordering everyone around, I mean imagine working for a company that let's you be part of developing a rig like that :)
@Burt what, calm down dude, didn't mean to offend you, I naver said anything about it being wrong to be proud. Go hug you god and relax before you go off the rails completely
Just UNFREAKIN REAL!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!! My only problem would simply be that there would be NO way I could ever work out of that beautiful ride without crying!!!!! I feel sorry for the poor sucker that puts the first scratch on her!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!!!!
First time I heard of J@L was on a "rolling interview" on Big Rig Videos in a heavy spec Pete. Seems like every truck is a show truck! Top notch outfit.
What a beautiful truck! I love the paint. The engine is awesome! Most of all, the music coming out of that Cat is something you could never tire of hearing.
It is a 12! An example of a great group of fabricators and mechanics let loose to create an amazing service truck!!! The guy who drives this truck, will think he died and went to heaven!! Great Video guys👍👍👍. The "Bee Man" can be proud that his truck lives on with Real Class!
Only thing I could think of for something that I would want added... is a portable swamp cooler that would cool you while out working in 100 degree or above and possibly a tent ⛺ setup for work in rain
I was told years ago by a truck mechanic that the 18 speed was built off the 13 speed for heavy haul, enabling the splitting of the bottom 5 gears! Pretty much the only difference. Who knows, may be plausible? Nice restoration of the old cabover too.
I think If I rember right it has an extra counter shaft on Eaton 18 speeds from what I rember from schooling. I was trained on working on trucks but ended up working on equipment so it's been a bit since I touched a truck
I would’ve loved to see it at night with all the lights on! But wow what a beast I’m so jealous considering that my service truck for my company is a F350 with a make shift tool box set up. Most guys salivate when they see it but I’ve always wanted to deck it out with a great paint job. And add a couple more items. But geez what a beast of a truck. A 12.5 crane alone is amazing. This thing should have its own hot wheels or match box truck to match its so nice!
