Floyd, owner of Fazdays Aluminum Polishing, introduces his 1984 K100 Aerodyne, which has approximately 634,000 original miles (0:42). He explains his work in aluminum polishing (1:09).

Floyd chose the cabover truck because it's unique and not commonly seen, especially the Aerodyne model (1:34). He details several modifications and features of the truck:

*Mirror Tint on Glass:* Floyd installed bus glass with custom mirror tint on all windows, including the top bunk, to make the truck stand out (2:21).

*Wheelbase:* The truck has a 290-inch wheelbase, which appears longer due to the cabover design (4:30).

*Restoration Process:* The truck sat for 25 years before Floyd began working on it. He moved it to his shop, where he discovered a broken wire in the 12-volt to 24-volt system, which he fixed to get it running (5:05).

*Back Half and Stretch:* The original back half of the truck was dry-rotted, so it was replaced with a Freightliner back half, allowing for the truck to be stretched (7:14). Kenworth of Louisiana performed the stretch (12:20).

*Paint Color:* Floyd chose a custom "creamier" cream color, a paint code shared by Phil Miller (8:56).

*Lighting:* The truck features New Gen lights, with seven on the roof, two on the sides, and two on the bumper. The running lights were converted into blinkers (10:24).

*Custom Parts from New Gen:* Many custom parts, including the stainless steel light balls, brackets, back fenders, and both front and back grills, were custom-made by New Gen in Port Island, Louisiana (11:01, 12:11, 12:30).

*JTX Wheels:* The truck has a unique set of JTX wheels, the only set ever made (14:25).

*"M2D" Name:* The truck is named "M2D" (In Too Deep) because every time one part was fixed, several more issues arose (13:02).

*"Ghost" Tribute:* A ghost graphic is placed on the truck in memory of the original owner, Keegan Sanchez, whose handle was "Ghost" (18:41, 20:07).

Floyd discusses the future plans for the truck, including potentially taking it to other shows like the Oldtown Rig Down and the Atlanta truck show (21:35). He also mentions his sons are skeptical about driving a cabover but he hopes one will eventually drive it (15:20).

Floyd also promotes his aluminum polishing business, which covers stainless steel, metal, and aluminum, and he travels anywhere customers are willing to pay (20:30). He has been polishing for about 10 years after driving heavy equipment for 18 years (21:01).

This video features Larry and Pam Adterage, owners of a 1985 Ford CL9000 cabover truck, showcased at the 2025 Gulf Coast Big Rig Truck Show (0:24). They bought the truck in Virginia after finding it online (1:41), noting its immaculate condition and unique history, having originally come from Manitoba, Canada (1:51).

*Original Purpose and Condition:* The truck was part of a fleet used by a religious organization for disaster relief and hauling goods across Canada and the US, primarily operating in the summer (3:07). It retained its original paint job (3:46) and was in excellent condition when purchased (1:55).

*Restoration and Modifications:*
Initially, Larry tried orange powder-coated wheels to match the stripes, but due to mixed reviews, he switched to polished aluminums after the first year (4:32-5:03). Pam initially liked the orange wheels (5:07).

The truck underwent a significant 10-month restoration to lengthen it, adding new frame rails, bush ends, and bearings (6:12-6:26). The fifth wheel was raised by 4 inches to accommodate stainless steel fenders (6:27-6:32).

They added Bruner Industries headache racks and toolboxes to fill the blank space between the rear end and the cab (8:29-8:37). Larry also added a Kenworth toolbox step for easier access to the frame (8:40-8:51). The extensive stainless steel requires considerable cleaning and polishing (8:54-9:05). The truck is named the "Creole Queen" after Pam (9:14).

*Engine and Drivetrain:* The truck features a 3406B Caterpillar 13-speed transmission with 400 horsepower (12:10-12:17). It has only 470,000 original miles and is noted for being very tight with no leaks or oil consumption, largely due to its light use and excellent care by the previous owner (13:01-13:22).

*Interior:* The interior is original, untouched, and in impeccable condition, featuring a factory-installed button-tuck design extending into the sleeper (16:29-16:57).

Larry, a paramedic for 40 years, got his start in trucking at 15 with a cabover Peterbilt (10:14-10:27). After a house fire led them to step away from the trucking business, they decided to pursue truck shows as a hobby (10:43-11:02), recognizing it as an expensive but enjoyable passion (11:06-11:15). They are considering adding more lights or a new paint job in the future (15:25-15:40).
