While on vacation with the family I went out looking for more future projects and came across this awesome 1986 Peterbilt 362 cabover with a 15 sp and a 3406 B block Cat engine. The owner was great about showing me the truck and told me he'd deliver it to my driveway for $12,000. Would sure love to bring this truck home but not sure I need another project until I finish what I have with Little by Little (Peterbilt 359) and Project Snowman (Kenworth W900A)
You're sitting on a gold mine with your " Big Dreams,Empty Pockets " comment. Put that on a t-shirt, and almost every man in America would buy one!!

Big dreams and empty pockets? so I'm not the only one 👍
"Big dreams and empty pockets." That's why I'm subbed to your channel! ; )
I had a 65 BelAir with too many doors, not enough cylinders and a 3 on the tree. Loved that car, fell victim to rust. BTW I wanted to thank you for turning me on to Good Old Waylon. After 47 years of not liking country! Miss the vids, enjoy that vacation!
That short cabover looked cool being so short 👍
Dear g.
👍👌👏 Exactly my thought too! I like that blue truck very much. Especially the way it is = looking very powerful because relatively short (and very maneuverable of course). It seems that nearly all other truck lovers want to lengthen every truck (I absolutely always wonder why!) 😁
Best regards, luck and health.
I agree 100% 300" stretch would be dumb
Finally I'm not the only one tired seeing these ridiculous stretched frames.
Dear @@claytonbrown7100
Yeah, you are definitely not, Sir. 👍👌👏 Thank you for joining the club! 😁 Some time ago I watched a kind of documentation about a North American truck driver who puts constantly a lot of money for trim, cleaning etc.p.p. into his black truck. This man was rather short but therefore he had lengthend his semi truck ridiculously long. He mentioned that it's now difficult to maneuver but would look so much better! 😂👎 He also lowered his driver seat ridiculously much although he himself is already short. Such a behaviour isn't only ridiculous, it's also very dangerous because he has no overview any more. Additionally it looked ridiculous (from inside and especially outside the cabin). I definitely felt pity/compassion for this obviously inside and outside little guy and stopped the video.
Thank God that both ridiculous behaviours are definitely not allowed in Europe respectively Germany.
Don't get me wrong: In my opinion anybody is allowed to do with his stuff what ever he likes the most. But this definitely has to stop if other people or somebody himself could be harmed respectively it hurts the rights of others. Otherwise living together on this planet is simply not possible.
Best regards, luck and health.
Dear @Cotton Texas
I like it too, Sir.👍👌👏
Nevertheless I say: Stretching trucks without any necessarity isn't cool, it simply is ridiculous! It's expensive and afterwards you have a bad maneuverable vehicle. Where is the sense of/by this kind of behaviour? Please see my comment to Clayton Brown also. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, luck and health.
AWESOME OLE PETE, buy it TWINSTICK, you can work on it later, These finds dont come around too often as you well know, we sure as heck aren't getting any younger and even if you dont get it finished before your sitting in a rocking chair, you saved one and passed it on to another legacy, you would not lose a dime on this one, they are getting more and more popular here in the Texas area and other lower 48s.
"Big dreams an empty pockets". Well we all know the feeling.
Go for it Twinsticks. She is a nice looking 362 for sure.
I'm so so glad you're going to rescue a cabover yes love it.
The short wheelbase makes the truck.... hate stretched frames! That thing’s a beast the way it sits.
My first truck was a '91 Volvo with a CAT B model set to 425 and an Eaton 13 spd. The truck itself was a turd, but that motor was an absolute gem. Countless miles and years of pulling over mountain passes (Colorado, Utah, Arizona) and she never skipped a beat. Such fantastic motors. Really wish I had the means to keep it when I sold the business. Hearing that Pete fire up brought back a lot of good memories
It's sad to see that assic car restorers aer a dying breed.. Really made me quite sad when they where selling those classic cars due to hard times.. hopefully this and the next generation will keep this tradition going. If I make it far enough in life I plan to do this aswell. These cars must be saved before they disappear they are a true relic of time and so gorgeous. Very cool how you restore heavy duty rigs too!
Bruce might insist that you polish that moose-catcher to a purty shine first first then chrome the wheels and change all the lights to LEDs before attending to the main tasks at hand.
That's no shit. Then he can begin to stretch the frame to a 386.42" wheelbase. LOL
Bruce is awesome to watch!
Gotta have an idiot to laugh at🤣😂
Please dont give that hack the time of day. He doesn't know how to finish a project.
Actually. .look at what TwinStick has done without all those sponsors. . Now that's Real Class and Talent!
Certainly one Classy Channel!
@@kozy41 Cheers Bro!!
TwinStick is one Classy Canadian. .he's like only less than a hour drive from my property.
If you can make it work -----go for it! There are not many in Canada who could make a truck like this sing again! It sounded good....... likely not a money pit as many can turn out to be.
Glad to see you back posting videos !!!
Short wheel base semi = Good for city work. Those 300" stretches came about through mid western trucks wanting lots more fuel than what would've been considered normal even then.
That's one sweet old Pete! Thanks for taking us along on your old iron hunts!
Don't let Bruce touch it!
Bruce the Butcher!!!!
J D He would take it apart and then buy another one!
I wouldn't let him stretch a pair of roller skates.
C'mon really! Bruce has almost 500 subs, running up and down the expressway with a pretty sweet rig! Got a nice lil piece in the back, monster truck and a 5th gen! Going to diesel drag strips! I don't know what you guys got going on but, I gotta get up at 4:30am for work.... Ya that Bruce what a dumbass he is!
Enjoy your vacation glad to see new content
Awe man...So many things to ogle over!! Thanks for taking us along!
You guys have some great stuff up there. I could look at old iron like that all day.
First ford cabovers like that I rode in was our firetruck.
That chevy Covair cabover truck is cool. The side drops down so you can load at the curb.
Awesome that you got to meet mike man!
That cab over would be a perfect addition to the fleet you currently have. Would look nice with a tidy up.
I've always liked the looks of the old Ford cab overs. I've had small scale toy Ford truck, now I have a Ford (toy) cab over with a Kmart trailer.
I really agree with you on the old ford restoration, love them old cabover fords, could put a 12 valve and 5 speed in it ;)
Great channel keep doing videos.
Missed you man! Glad to see you back. We've been Jonesin' for a new vid. Got to thinking you and Peg went out drinkin' potato water together, and who knows when we'd see you again.
"I'm gonna pull a bruce wilson and stretch it" lmao!!! That would be an extremely fun project, tons of aftermarket support!!! I would talk to the wife and get her on board! See if the guy would do asking price delivered, either way what a deal! Don't see many of the V block cats that are healthy
Watched multiple times. But hadn’t thought about the constant road noise haunting those poor cars.
Good to see a TwinStick's video. I hope you're enjoying your vacation, from this video I'd say you are. I love this channel and Ezrider as well. You guys do quality work and don't waiver from your content. Thanks so much for these videos. Be safe.
OMG I love it. I'm just fascinated with these big cab over semis I don't know why but I just want one so I can drive it on the weekends I think it'd be a hoot and a great way to relax. Good thing I'm not out there I'd probably bought it!!
Wow, that just brought up some good memories for me. I helped take a couple of chevy's to that museum to be put on consignment around 2000-2001. Where the blue and white chevy is sitting was a 1968 Ford Thunderbird that I nearly bought (and should have.) The vehicles in question that my friend brought there were a 1955 Chevy pickup that he had swapped corvette suspension onto, and a 1965 Corvette stingray (too bad it wasn't a 64.) I did pick up a set of 1964 Ford 260 v8 heads that I planned to use on a 302 - sadly never got around to it though.
We have been waiting so long. Glad your back. Hope your Enjoying the vacation.
Really enjoyed this "Vacation" video. So many projects so little time...LOL!
That's definitely the "Addition to the Fleet". Only 12 and it's in the Driveway. .how can you not??
An ole shack hauler..certainly in need of a stretch. This is a classy channel, no more mention of the Florida Felon. .Hahaha
Look forward to seeing the next "Addition to the Fleet ".
Thanks for sharing this video. Middle of August, I'll be out in B.C. I see a couple of vehicles that I've been searching for at this yard .perhaps I will be able to finish off my wish list.
Thanks again for your video. Be safe and take care always.
I'm glad to see another video out, one of my favorite channels this one. Was wondering after over a month of no Saturday videos, good to hear it's just a vacation. Well deserved.
That Pete hauled my Manufactured Trailer to Dease Lake in 2008. The guy new his stuff moving shacks. Cool to see it again.
"Cabover Pete with a reefer on .. Cum awwn"
Actually that Austin truck was one of millions made over here in the UK. They were like everywhere in different guises and of course basic British Army truck in WWII. And @ 09:49 you missed a real gem. A Rover P5 which was HM The Queen's personal choice of car for driving herself about. 3.5 Litre, sheer luxury in the old '60s style. Poor mans Rolls Royce!
Cabovers are how we do trucking over here. Very few conventional trucks as we have length restrictions but Scania did the 'T' model until recently and used by bulk hauliers. I owned a few rigs back in the day: From Scania 110 through 140 to a fully loaded 113 Topline, Volvo F12, MAN 360s and 422s . Even two Ford Transcontinentals with Big Cam E 350 engines.
Great days, good mates and drivers. Miss them all. I drove trucks until I was 68 and then stupid EU CPC shit came in and I gave up and retired.
Now I just annoy folks on UA-cam ...Lol
I wasn’t the only one who noticed the p5 !! ,
The sensible thing to do is to go ahead and buy it and add another project to the list then after that build a bandit Trans Am.
LOVE the Cabover looks like a nice Rig 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks for the walk around, enjoyed the video.
Love to see you do some videos in Australia of our cab overs. K104, K108 and K200s rule the roads here. Plus we've got heaps of older cab over Kenworths. We have a lot of Euro stuff here too, but nothing beats the Kenworths in my opinion. I'm driving a T401 with a c12 in it, first semi job I've ever had. Gotta be said the c12s sound pretty nice, especially the jakes.
Glad to see you are back.
Glad to see you're back. You should do a "Bandit" car to go with project "Snowman". Big dreams and empty pockets is the story of my life.
WOW! That '49 Ford is actually Ford powered. Very cool!
Don't listen to us....but you should buy that Pete!
I love cab overs and that length would be perfect over here in the UK but I too dont need anymore trucks lol and it is definitely a addiction
Very nice cab over
Austin. Very prolific in England and Australia, absolute workhorse
Buy that 362! That 57 4-door was pretty cool but it is a hard top rather than a post. Kinda tricky to get the alignment right on those. I've got a 57 4-door post. I know you don't like the 4-doors but the good thing is that the vast majority of the parts are the same from the 2-door to the 4-door and you can get into a 4-door for a LOT less money.
You really need to talk to the owner of the cabover, and talk the OBO part of that sign. You need that truck! I don't even have trucks and I need that truck! I'm loving the interior (clean up required of course). Have fun explaining that one to the wifey. LOL! Regards, Solomon
I love cab over classics.
Man thats beauty! You need to buy it! I just want to see this cabover more :)
this is fantastic
I’ve never seen a cab over with an air ride setup like that, it’s very interesting.
That would be a fun project to watch!I say get it if you can :)
Very jealous of you meeting mike lol!
Just an FYI
Mike Hall's show is called rust valley restorers .
Rust bros is the shop name .
Keep up with the videos twin sticks
Love your channel !
Ya I just made a mistake when I recorded it 🤪
Moose catcher lol that is better then what we call them we call them a cattle catcher
That cab over would be an awesome truck for the channel
Awe man, was sure hoping you’d buy that cabover and stretch it, they are awesome looking, and few of them are on the roads, at least here in the states. Glad to see a video, enjoy your vacation and stay safe! 👍😀
go for it!!
What a gorgeous truck love it more cause it’s a Pete...miss your videos needed this today
I bought my 1962 international crew cab from mike a couple years ago at this point. It only had a couple bad rust spots but it was complete and it was able to run after only a couple hours tinkering.
I kinda like the short frame. Tight turning is what cabinets do best.
John Breen ya you could probably do a u-turn on a driveway with that truck 😆
Make him a cash offer low ball. You need that rig especially with the Cat.
That cabover would be a great project
That’s a nice unit!
I love the cab over. Man that's got to be tempting. but, you gotta remember you got a pretty W900A waiting for her turn and that coin sure will come in handy eh.
Man if I were up in Canada I would get myself a Hayes HD. Those truck are utterly impossible to find in New England with the exception of a guy over in mass. But man those truck are something else definitely a solid built rig compared to the newer stuff
Radical stuff! The cabover Ford was probably a 65-70. There wasn’t much assist for raising the cab...you just had springs under it and if they’re good, you just pull the lever and raise it with one hand. They were sweet to drive. Mine had a 390 gas with 5&2 speed! You know the rule of thumb don’t you...the best time to buy something unusual is when you see it. Enjoy your vacation, get that Pete and/or Ford and get back home.
She’s an absolute beauty!
Got to go for that cabover Pete it's got your name on it be awesome project for UA-cam subscribers
That explains why I hate driving down to the coast from Prince, too many damn wrecking yards on the way down and way too much temptation. If I did the drive "properly" it would take me a week to get down below...lol Stay Safe thanks for the share!
Austin! There was a time here in the UK when you couldn’t move for Austin’s, Morris, or bedford trucks and vans. All got swallowed up by the BMC then later British Leyland. If you want to go down a rabbit hole of the British car and truck industry then read up on British Leyland mark 👍🏻
Nice stuff!
I think you should get it, you will only regret it if you don’t. It would be great on your channel keep up the good work buddy 👍🏼
Gotta buy that cabover
Dear TwinStick Garage guy.
👍👌👏 Good to have you back at last! My favourite car is that light grey/blue 4dr at 5.22 min (you have a family and therefore 4drs are always better). Second is that red "Dad hommage Ford truck".
2) Oh WOW, good grief! That's not a moose catcher, it definitely has more of an elephant respectively Dinosaur catcher! 😁 I like that blue truck very much too👍👌. But especially the way it is = looking very powerful because relatively short (and very maneuverable of course). It seems that nearly all other truck lovers want to lengthen every truck (I absolutely always wonder why! 😁😂).
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck health and wisdom.
Buy it, great cab over!
"Caterpillar diesels are the best."
- My old man
I’d buy that if I had ur money for sure. Such a beautiful truck
You walked right bye that old black AMC AMX !!!
Do it! you know you want to, just let it happen
That 50s ford is my dream truck
I remember Sears in Southern California had a bunch of those Ford trucks growing up.
With enough views, likes, and ads watched, we can totally guilt him into buying this with UA-cam revenue and live vicariously through him! Go TwinSticks!
Gotta get it
That wont last long at 11k, guys are paying triple that in the states, haha be a legend and have a 110" cabover doesnt get better than that, thanks for the video berry cool!
oh oh oh i drive passed that cabover 6+ times a day, been thinking of getting it the restore for my truck. please buy it before i do
Beauty old COE Pete. Nicest tractor on the road. But I wouldn’t go past 210” stretch. Put in a full air ride.
That place is a jack pot. I love cab overs
Your camera work in the cab was driving me nuts 11 for the Pete not a bad deal, may have to bring it back to Texas.
Ya I should invest in a fancy gimbal mounted for pro ... will try and slow it down in future vids
Those older truck I hope they end up back on the road
Congratulations!
a car that’s the value
I heard the air gun and I immediately got maximum overdrive vibes
The 57 wasnt a post. that was a hardtop! Even less of those around. Todd the retired trucker.
Kelly Konoske y I noticed when I got closer 👍
