I'm 47 years old I remember seeing those old cabovers running the roads all the time, seeing that one just brings back so many memories. When I grew up I wanted to drive a cab over but I never did, spent 20 years over the road and never drove a cab over, the oldest truck I ever drove was a 79 W900 with a 13 speed and a big cam Cummins

I ran a couple COEs one Freightliner and a KW new trucks, they dominated the roads in early 90s. Back before you could stretch them length restrictions. A dream parking and turning in tight places. One thing I thought about was head on crashes. I knew drivers that would walk if a company put them in a COE. The two I ran rode good. Had conventional trucks that rode worse. I worked for my Family company. I ran whatever truck my brother told me to run. I know for a fact drivers damaged the COEs intentionally, had to be careful who you hired. I liked the COEs been on little roads before GPS . I was so happy I wasn't driving a big conventional, that needed a football field to turn😊

That is one handsome brute of a truck, I dont understand why you would want to change anything on these classic vehicles!! As for the cabover style, there are nothing but cabovers here in the UK and Europe, most of the roads we negotiated you needed a close coupled trailer with the axles set forward. You would never get a US style rig around narrow country lanes and densely packed city streets, so its horses for courses ! Apart from British trucks like the ERF that were fitted with 350bhp Big Cam Cummings that I loved, I have spent my 46 year commercial driving lifetime sat in a Volvo's F88 like the one in my Avatar from the late 1970's or or F10/12's and the later Volvo FH Globetrotters, or right up to my recent retirement in Scanias, the last one being one of the new generation type.

I was a mechanic for a fleet of 45 of those when they were brand new. I know just about every nut and bolt. 2 things.... Always use the safety bar when you jack the cab up. The jack handle should be in the passengers side door under the sleeper hanging on 2 brackets. Those cab jack pumps used to leak oil so always carry a little extra transmission oil for that because it sucks when you have to jack the cab up and it won't go up. Another thing to check is the battery box for cracks. They are aluminum and were known to break, especially with the shock from leaf spring suspension. I noticed that truck has 2 straps to hold the door from opening too much. The earlier models only had one and the screws that hold it on would rip out from the weight of the door opening when the cab was tilted. I used to connect a bungee cord from the door to the door striker to take the weight off of the straps.

@johnnybegood9285 3 ай бұрын
I posted my comment before the video was over. I see you found the cab jack. Lol! It looks like the battery box was repaired already and that's a good thing. It really makes a mess when the batteries and air tanks leave the scene. Please don't get under that cab without the safety bar in place, especially with a truck that old. One blown hydraulic line and you've bought the farm. One more thing. When you lower the cab, make sure the shifter is sliding up in the slot in the floor. When they get a little worn they get sloppy and may not line up. As far as power steering goes, They also made a "power steering assist" which was a hydraulic cylinder attached to the center link activated by tension placed on the drag link. It's an alternative to changing out the box. If you change the box, you'll have to get the bracket that goes with it.

As a 21 year old when i went to US in 1987 could not believe how dated and crude America trucks were. They looked fabulous from outside, but that 78 interior was more 1958 European interior back then. No power streering and front brakes were common on US trucks, when cars had everything. Park a 1978 Volvo F10 next to it and the interior difference is 40 years apart. The only British truck in sixties without power streering standard from memory was late 60s tk Bedford, maybe some early 60s Leylands.

Wasnt going to comment... but... Never heard of a 3.25 gear set.. but then I heard you say 3.36. Yes thats right. I had 2 352s. A 1975 with a 1693 cat and 13 speed. And a 1078 with an 8V92 Detroit and a 15 overdrive trans. The over the road trucks in the 70s didnt have power steering because the PS of the time was too loose feeling. The manual steering was very precise and perfect on the road. You got big shoulders backing in but as long as you were rolling just a bit they were pretty easy to steer. The deep reduction on the dash doesnt make sense with the 13 speed trans. The 13 had low range on the stick and the overdrive splits were air shifts. The deep reduction was low low range on a 15 or some of the 8 speeds. Not likely the frame is stock as people were driving cab overs because of length limitations. If they were legal as long as that truck then they would have drivin a conventional. I wouldnt mind having any of my trucks back as a toy now. Nice truck.
