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

@user-bu8bc6kg4f 14 күн бұрын

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😊

@thomasweida2881 15 күн бұрын

I put power steering on my 1977 352. I used a power steering box from a Freightliner cab over. I made an adapter plate to bolt the box to the frame, so it looked nice in factory. Use the standard power steering pump and mounted the power steering reservoir in the back Behind the cab where the original would be

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.
