Cabovers where always my favorite trucks. As a kid growing up in the 60's & 70's; I would build 1/25 scale models from AMT; I built Peterbuilt,Kenworth,Mack,GMc, International conventional and cabovers. My uncle drove for PepsiCola in Tampa Florida and drove a very narrow cabover; it looked like a phone booth on wheels. He hauled Pepsi products to Miami from Tampa Florida.USA 🇺🇸 That Pepsi Rig was approx. 60 Foot Long bumper to bumper. It was a slide door trailer both sides and hauled empty bottles from Miami to Tampa for processing and full bottles of Pepsi from Tampa to Miami for distribution. I road one trip in that long Pepsi truck to Miami and back to Tampa. As a young 12yr old boy I was in trucker heaven. I miss my uncle and those rides in his trucks along the many years of trucking. Thanks Flat Bed Red for taking me along on your truck shows. That black and grey color combo is stunning.

I learned to drive truck in a 1978 Peterbilt Cabover 352 with a 8V92 and a 13 speed. My dad taught me to drive truck in that truck. I have great memories going with my dad. I drove trucks around the yard when i was 12 or 13 years old but i didn't start driving out on the road until about 17 years old and i didn't even have a car license then and he would lay back in the sleeper and get a nap!

Back when Jim Palmer trucking out of Missoula, Montana was an all flatbed fleet, before he went to reefers, I drove his last cab over before he became an all “hood” fleet. It was just like this one, just different colors. This video brought back many good memories of those days. I think if he’d stayed flatbeds, I’d probably still be there. Best boss I ever had.

@danielhofer7386 10 ай бұрын

That truck is way longer than 165" wheelbase. It's a double bunk with 4 foot of frame behind the fuel tanks to the first set of drive tires. 205" at the very least wheelbase.

@MissFlatbedRed 10 ай бұрын

I think he may have misspoken and meant it started at that. I misspoke in my own video of my own truck, it happens.

@197robust 10 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. I have a 160"wb cabover. It has a shorty single bunk 86" cab and there's hardly room for fenders between the fuel tanks and the drive tires. my guess on this truck would be around 220"

@Greg-ji5zh 4 ай бұрын

If that’s 165 inches, I’m 8ft tall !

Straight up gorgeous!!! I'd love to get a 352 or 362 Pete and throw a 605 Cummins in it. 250wb, 4.11 rears, 18 speed ultrashift, dual vertical air cleaners just like this, 7" dual turnback exhaust, 24.5 wheels with milled out larger holes, low low air leaf rear suspension, disc brakes all around, firewire replacement headlights, and all the chicken lights in LED. Power steering included too.

My Dad owned a Cabover Peterbilt when I was a kid in Ellwood City Pa. He bought it off my Best Friend Grandfather Smitty. I was So exited the day he brought it home. Two tone Green. Me and my brothers called it the Green Machine. One of my Favorite Trucks my Dad drove. My all time favorite he drove was a Candy apple Red Cabover Brockway and I know for a fact it had a Detroit in it cause when he fired that engine up reffed the engine it scared me. But the Cabover Peterbilt was one I can remember and went for plenty of rides in.

Nice I got a 352 cabover 1994 with a 3406b cat restoring all of it but the inside a little inside not much. It only had 700.000 miles on it. But your truck looks better than better nice nice job you did on that 1978 truck. Wish me luck on my 1994 Peter build 352 , if you want to fix up my 1978 Astro GMC I’ve had it since 1989 still runs. Well have a good one see ya later and great video of your great looking peterbilt see ya bye.

Absolutely Beautiful! I drove two different cab overs for a construction company converted from Safeway trucks to ramp trucks longer rails...the Kenworth was a 82' standard cab..but my Baby was the Freightliner with a single sleeper..both 10 speeds...what made them perfect was the fact they had no nose to them...as I had very tight places to get into hauling my little cat dozer..with pintle hitchs on both sometimes used the three axle trailking to export excavators with the dozer...after the owner sold the company I bought the Freightliner its still in the shop and slowly going through a rebuild...I love the cab over...miss seeing them on the roads...

Now theres a Big Truck , a Beautiful Big Truck that screams O/Op in the height of Truckin in the seventys. A friend of mine had a Big Bunk Pete with all the goods , and another buddy of his had a Big Bunk K Whopper . Both were running swingin at the time , turn and burn as many possible while the getting was good. They didnt have to worry about them Orange & White Colorado trucks. He had a couple pics of em together. The KW was actualy still with the owner by time I was hanging around and starting , an older guy headed to Co with a load of shingles , a mechanic and rusty driving , ran her off the road in snow and totaled her out. The Pete had lost the engine , and was sold to a guy out of the area. Love em.
