every time I see cabovers it brings tears to my eyes reminds of my uncle that was like a father to me he was a trucker for years he had a 65 peterbuilt cab over
Nice truck. Brings back memories of the 1970 Pete Cabover that I learned to drive. I love them old cabovers. Hope this one is still in running condition.
She Is One Sweet Unilite 352! Don't See Many Of Them Anymore Sadly. Peterbilt Did So Well Building Cabovers that thery actually screwed up. It Is Time To Recall The COE Back To Duty. Cabovers fit in places that a long nose can not. My Hats off to you my friend
Un Peter mi padre me enseñó en un camión de estos en 1995 tiempos idos y no volvidios mi padre haora esta en el cielo saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨 el Peter de mi padre era modelo 1981
Are you sure the motor is a 335? Intake manifold doesn't look right for a 335.I noticed the heads are painted red-must have come off of an International as they are the only ones to paint a cummins motor red
No cancer... Sandblasting with some epoxy primer and paint and new suspension and brake lines and hardware away from being super reliable and clean.. I'd put a 3406B in it and have a pro upholster it too if I really wanted to do it right..
cool truck. I always loved the look of the cabover trucks....although over the past several years they seem to be just about extinct. Since you are a big truck fan do you know why company's don't use them anymore? My uncle drove over the road for a couple of years many years ago and he said with the front seats right over the front wheels made for a really rough ride....maybe thats why? dont know.....
MuttModeler It's because no one manufactures cabovers anymore and the big companies all have trucks with 500,000 miles or less on them then they sell them. I work for a small company that has 2 cabovers that are used as yard dogs. I crawled in one last night, seemed really strange.
Cabovers were used in the days of shorter length laws especially in states east of the Mississippi. After length laws were changed,they were no longer practical.
I agree. Small cam FFC ( Full Flow Cooling ). NTC 350. That would make it a very early 350. 335's are a totally different engine. They had a taper nose crank, not a " billet " nose. Could not accommodate that style of after cooler, different water pump etc. I'd need to look at the video again to see if it has an anaroid or AFC diaphragm built into the back of the fuel pump. Did I see it's a 5 x4 ? Notice both corners of the cab have cutaways for the exhaust, and the classic air intake passing through the roof and bunk. Very Pete ! I drove one of these new in 77. That's when Peterbilt came to Canada. KW was on strike in Montreal. People in the know think that Pacar kept the workers out to get Pete's in the door. We had two K-100 's on order that they couldn't deliver so boss bought two 352's. I'd heard they where the Cadillac of trucks. Not so, though the Pete Air- Trac suspension was one of the best. Especially for hauling hanging beef. Very stable. Now the double doughnut suspension seen on this truck I think came off a later Freightliner. That where as harsh as the Hendrickson concrete block suspension. I've driven cabovers with extended leaf Hendrickson that road better than the double doughnut. Thanks for the video. The memories are still fresh. That would have been top gear equipment back in the day. KW K-100's where always my favourite except in winter.
If the video was about a 4 wheel drive truck I'd agree. We're talking about something entirely different here though. 4x4 here refer to the 4 speed main and 4 speed auxiliary transmissions in the truck.
We cut up all those old junk cabovers i bet i cut up at least 40, back in the day they were worth more dead than alive for parts,married box 4x4 spicers were junk.

Cab over,twin stick and a Pete, life doesn't get any better than that.
Wow! what a beautiful old survivor from the golden age of trucking.
Yep I always have a special thing in my heart for Cab overs. Long live the cab overs.
wasn't trying to hide anything everybody relax doesn't matter the trucks been gone for a year .
Nice truck. Brings back memories of the 1970 Pete Cabover that I learned to drive. I love them old cabovers. Hope this one is still in running condition.
Cabover semi trucks are rare nowadays.
Agreed. Bring back the cabover! And make them look like they did from 1970!

HOPE OL GIRL WENT TO A GOOD HOME!

back in the day's there were restrictions on the length of commercial vehicles that's the reason for so many cabovers back then
Small cam 350. These were good pulling trucks. They use to have one engine number that would easily out pull any 400.
Суперове відео , віддихаєш душею !
jealous, great old truck...
Nice yard ornament!! LOL
theres a pretty truck there waiting to come out
It looked like a trucking movie truck the paint job
Is the radio on to hide the engine noise , or is the seller just not thinking ?
Where is the Truck for sale at,in Arizona?
if that old girl could tell her stories...

Also the fact that they are not areodynamic at all. You notice that most large fleet trucks today are ridiculously areodynamic.
Cabovers were used in the days of shorter length laws especially in states east of the Mississippi. After length laws were changed,they were no longer practical.
Hey, do you still have this? I am interested in taking a look if you do.
Just think of how many lot lizards that sleeper has seen!
So clean
that's about it, logs.
Tuff man
make a nice truck for haulin logs.
how much is the price?
how much for pete
better than porn
335 Cummins never had an after cooler.This thing must be a 350.
Could be a 290,but aftercoolers could be installed on 335's which became a 350.

@@georgerenton965 Great info!
Why dont Americans use cabovers these days
Not a 4x4, it has 3 axles, there for it is a 6x4.
4x4 refers to the twin stick trans, not the axles
If it refers to it's twin stick trans, then it does not confer to the universal concept of 4x4, which refers to 4 wheel configuration, 4 wheel drive.
If the video was about a 4 wheel drive truck I'd agree. We're talking about something entirely different here though. 4x4 here refer to the 4 speed main and 4 speed auxiliary transmissions in the truck.
Need a visor for my ‘74 cabover I’m restoring. Anyone have one?
what name of song?
linas bernatavicius southern cross by Crosby, Stills and Nash
We cut up all those old junk cabovers i bet i cut up at least 40, back in the day they were worth more dead than alive for parts,married box 4x4 spicers were junk.
Yawn!!!
