Marco Morin and his Cabover

I always had the impression that the trucks were reflecting their owner's image . This time, anyway , it's the case : An authentic 1999 K-100 Kenworth, with its original paint, that Marco Morin have bought in 2008.

After have spent a month in the garage, Marco, helped by his two sons , Jonathan and Anthony , and his wife Karina, gave to the cabover, a second life . They have completely redone the engine, a 3406-E , 550 hp, the transmission and the differentiels . The cabover also needed beauty session, so they added a new stainless steel sunvisor , a 22" bumper, new stacks, new horns and cab lights were installed and, also, some built-in led lights in the back of the cab .

After that , the team at J.A.K. express, continued their hard work by adding a custom made rear bumper with 15 built-in 4" led lights , an " i " panel between the fuel tanks with 4 lights, a deck plate on the frame , some fiberglass rear fenders , new custom wheels were also added and much more .

Marco Morin also known as '' Moustique '' : An authentic Quebecer, a guy with good values , a guy with his heart in the right place . You should have hear him talk about his kids : It's with sparkles in his voice, that he told me : When we bought the truck , I made a promise to the kids , I told them " When the truck will be paid , it's gonna be yours, I will give it to you " ....." A promise is a promise , they own the truck, now '' ...

Moustique was telling me, how, looking at Jonathan and Anthony working on the truck, makes him proud to have kept his promise .
