    The mid 70s 3406A pre combustion turbocharged aftercooled (PCTA) which this one looks to be were a good motor, horrible economy but sure sounded awesome with the clatter they make, (clatterpillar) the turbo thats on it you'll wake the dead with. They are extremely loud but sound awesome as well, loud and strong, but not for long.. love the truck and motor, keep em coming

    I don’t know why some people thought it was a Cummins when clearly it’s a 3406 ! The intake and the pumps are dead giveaway ! And someone even said it had a sleeper when clearly it never had a boot and day cabs have rear windows but the rear window does look kinda square , looks like it might have pulled an aircan or tanker before , sounds to me like you got a great deal on this one ! I started OTR in 1976 ! Don’t seem that long ago until you see it in a text ! Lol. Those square noses always were a good tractor ( Consolidated Freightways built that tractor ) there great company trucks , owner /operators usually had Pete’s and K-wappers ! Enjoy it you’ll have a blast !

    @speedandmarine9066 3 роки тому +6

    It's not white because it's a 3406. It's white because that engine likely came out of a Kenworth or Peterbilt. For a long time PACAR spec'd Matterhorn White on all Cat engines they bought. Freightliner would have had a yellow engine if it was a factory installed Cat. Of course, over the last 30 or 40 years people could have done a lot of things and painted stuff a lot of different colors. But it's pretty likely that engine came out of some kind of PACAR.
    Good old Freightliner, before Daimler got ahold of them and ruined them.

    Alpine white Cat is for recreational marine. Yellow is terrestrial, or commercial marine. Don't know about older Petes, but all that I've seen where Cat Yellow. Except for one that I know is white, because the owner painted it white at the first rebuild.
