    1985-86 Peterbilt 362-S90. It has after market headlights which make it look like a 352. Amazing catch!

      🇺🇸 My 1st Truck was a 1951 REO wrecker with a gas engine. The next truck was a 1974 cabover Marmon with 1693 TA diesel. Then a 1965 C800 Ford single axle cabover with a gas engine. I appreciate ALL the old trucks, haven’t driven every brand of truck, but really love the oldies! Cabovers Rule! 🥰🥰🥰

Really, I’m not sure if I could limit it to just 7 rigs though. Marmon, KW, GMC Astro, General, REO, Peterbuilt, Mack, Autocar, Western Star, Dodge, Diamond T, White, Ford. I just wouldn’t want to limit myself, you know? I would have to own 10 acres of land, a 5000 sq foot garage, and be incredibly rich in 💰💰💰! And a wife that really enjoyed riding in a semi truck. Lol! That’s almost as good as a time machine. Right? What can I say...Got truckin in the blood!

      Trident UK 🇺🇸 Not everyone likes the long wheelbase trucks...that’s OK. Stretched...I know from experience that it does make a big difference in the way a truck rides. It does limit the areas you can drive in...not too good in tight city maneuvers. It changes the look altogether. I like some trucks just being original, unlike some people who like to stretch everything, and to the max. But cabovers are just simply very cool! This Pete...it makes this rig so awesome looking! 🤩 Really...seeing it in person really was impressive! We could see all the bling and details that he put into it.

    • @the.porter.productions
      @the.porter.productions  3 роки тому +1

      🇺🇸 Hey, Good question. 🧐 1st...I’ve seen longer frames. There are several reasons for a stretched frame: Longer frames can improve the ride, Some rigs look better longer, Some people think bigger is better, Some jobs may need more axles, Some just want something different, Some think it’s a way to just simply improve on what the manufacturer has already done. In the USA, we don’t have too many length restrictions per say, as they might in the UK. I’m a bit more practical, but I do appreciate all the work that goes into some of these fine old trucks. Just because a truck is old doesn’t mean that it’s lost it’s usefulness! 🧐 Thanks for checking us out. Hope that this was somewhat helpful and maybe even funny. Have a blessed New Year! 🤩
