Thanks for checking us out. We saw this rig and just had to get a closer look. Some people say to just leave the drivers alone, but they can tell if you’re a genuine truck lover! It has beauty all over it, but when he fired it up…that Cat engine just blew us away ! It was worth stopping for! Beauty, style, character and power! 🤩😎🥰✌️
Those were the Machines that made me start driving Big Trucks, Growing up in the 80s seeing and hearing those Big Cars running up and down the road, today Smart cars are louder than the average semi truck !
🇺🇸 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! 🥰🥰🥰
The Master Tanker 🇺🇸Yep, it’s a Pete, by golly. I have to say it this way...The color really set it off, but the chrome, length and what it had under the cab was just simply YEAH! And that sound....makes your heart skip a beat! You could tell that the driver took plenty of pride in his ride! We just love a classy old cabover. I would rather have a classy truck then most cars! Thanks for checking us out! 😎
Christy 🇺🇸 It sure was! Had enough chrome, length, attitude and it sounded GREAT! Who wouldn’t do a turnaround for that picture or video! And we were just sitting there when he pulled up to the pump. I got his permission and talked to him for a couple of minutes before taking video. We appreciate a fine rig like that and we appreciate all our truckers out there! 🤩 Thanks for checking our videos out. Have a great one! 😎
🇺🇸 Hey there, friend! Yes, it was one beautiful cabover! We keep looking when we go by that truck stop, but we’ve not seen it since. I wish we could’ve gotten his contact info so we could stay in touch with him. Glad you enjoyed this video. We’re working on some more, so stay tuned. 🥰😎✌️
We’re glad that you checked us out. There were some cabover Freightliners that were so radical looking! The day cab models were quite odd, but I sure liked the big bunk rigs. They had such a unique style back in the day! Freightliner had it together! 🥰🇺🇸✌️
🇺🇸 He wanted to save the truck, took the time to do it right and then gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor! Now that’s something I can really appreciate! 🥰 That’s..Takin Pride In The Ride! 🤩
concerned citizen 🇺🇸I haven’t seen one at a truck stop for some time now. They should still have them available. But they now have longer squeegees. That’s why I have to use a 6-foot ladder when I clean my cabover windshield. It would save a driver from having to climb on the fender or tires.
🇺🇸 Gerald, glad you liked it. It was a sweet catch & the owner/driver appreciated our interest in it. You can tell when someone really likes a cabover enough to do a great job setting it up & keeping it so nice. There are those cabover diehards out there still! 🥰 We love them as well! 🥰 Coming from a trucking family, I can really appreciate those old rigs. My 1st love was a 1969 K100 & then a 1951 REO wrecker, then 1965 Ford C800 then a 1975 Marmon cabover and so on. Thanks for checking us out & hope you check out more of our stuff. Have a wonderful summer.🥰😎✌️
🇺🇸 We thought that it was quite tastefully done. 🤩 We even liked the color! We visit that location often in hopes that we could see it again, but no luck so far. Cabovers are WORTH chasing down and spending the time to get the history on the rigs, if the driver isn’t in a hurry. 🤩 You can admire them more when they stop to fuel up and such. Thanks for checking us out. Have a wonderful and safe New Year! 🥳
I started driving trucks in 1980 and I believe it was 1982 when that model Cab up Pete's came out. They didn't make this model but a few years and you don't see them now. To sit in them was like sitting a oak tree. .
🇺🇸 Alberto, Thanks for checking us out. You’re way across the pond. 🤩 Here’s one that I found about 1 year ago…Thunder Run. Now that’s one wonderful truck movie as well! I don’t ever remember this one back in the day, but it was great to see it. I get in the mood often to put in a truck dvd and watch them all hours of the eve & morning.🥰 I love the old trucks and truck movies…for me, it’s better than sports. 😎 Glad to liked our video. Hope you check out our other stuff as well. We have a SPECIAL that’s coming out any day now… “A Tribute.” Take care! 🥰🤩✌️
🇺🇸 We agree that it is quite awesome!🥰 It sure seems to have all the right accessories…Cat engine, chrome, nice stacks, nice color & length. Glad you liked it. It was a sweet catch….being in the right place at the right time kind of thing! Something that we take seriously. Thanks for checking us out. Keep in touch! 🥰😎✌️
🇺🇸 Paul, this is Paul of the Porter crew. Glad you liked it! 🥰 We have to appreciate those old cabovers, for many of them paved the way for many a driver! It looked good, sounded good & was such a great catch that day for us! 🤩 The driver was the owner & you could tell that he surely took pride in his ride! He even had his dog with him. He was on his way back to the Atlanta area if I remember correctly. I grew up around the old cabovers & the second truck I drove was a cabover Marmon with a Cat engine! 🥰 Thanks for checking us out. We have other truck videos & recently released one about the truck we just bought. Enjoy it. Take care! 🥰😎✌️
It actualy looks better with the round headlights instead of the rectangle but i like bigger fuel tanks and the look of stack muffler shields ,my old pete was a 1978 it was the tall cab but the old style cab that was along time ago one of the best trucks i ever had
Dewayne Miguel 🇺🇸 All I can say is that I liked that rig from top to bottom, the way it sounded, the whole setup. The only thing I didn’t like is the fact that it wasn’t mine.
@@the.porter.productions no its nice they came with rectangle headlights the round to me looks better but the fuel tanks would look a little better if they were bigger maybe about 120 gal each i ran a rig with small tanks and i hated haveing to stop alot for fuel im old school i never liked hanging out at truck stops when you run 3thousand to 4 thousand miles a week you dont have alot of extra time
🇺🇸 Yeah, many of the old trucks had those typical round headlights…Kenworth, Western Star, General, etc. It’s one beautiful rig! We were thrilled to meet the owner & get the history behind the rig. Thanks for checking us out! Merry Christmas. 🤩🎄✌️
🇺🇸 Hey, I’m with ya on that! 🤩 Here’s my thoughts on that...Some people desire a Cadillac Escalade, Hummer, Mercedes, Jaguar and things like that, and that’s really OK, But if I could, I would have just 7 old trucks...ONE for each day and would include cabovers and conventionals. 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!
🇺🇸Glad that you liked it. We appreciate those fine cabovers, especially when a lot of good, hard work goes into making them sharp & road worthy & classy! 🤩 Thanks for tuning in! 🥰😎✌️
RichmondCityRailfan 🇺🇸The W900 is a sweet ride! The cabovers always had a different and cool look about them. Most had a sweet character and you either loved em or hated em, from my experience. The K100 with Centennial sleepers were just awesome! Glad you enjoyed. Stay safe.
@@the.porter.productions You too, thanks! They all have their ups and downs, but I like the looks of the long hoods too. Plus another reason I like the W900s is because of Smokey and the Bandit and Movin' On.
🇺🇸 Glad that you liked it! It sure is one beautiful rig! The color sure enhances the body style! A rare catch & one that we almost missed. Merry Christmas my friend! 🤩🎄✌️
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. That’s what it’s all about...seeing all that goes into a rig, especially an older rig. Have a great and safe day! ✌️
I think he told us that it was an 84 model. He mentioned it but we didn’t write it down, regretfully. The sound and looks were overwhelming and he did most of the work himself.🤩
🇺🇸Greetings from the Ohio Porters! Thanks for checking us out! Cabovers rule in my book! They sure have a unique character about them and something you don’t see much in trucks made today! 😎🇺🇸✌️
🇺🇸Glad that you liked it. We couldn’t pass it up! I would like to blow a picture of this rig up and frame it for my wall! It sure has plenty of class!! 🥰🇺🇸
Greetings.🇺🇸 Well, some trucks would have several items back there, but everything on this rig can mostly be handled from the ground. It’s long, smooth and unconstructed. At least he has plenty of room to add anything that he would want to. Those chrome nut covers sure spruce up the frame though! I think that the truck was rather tastefully done. That’s owner-operated for ya. 🤩 I hope that you liked the catch. Thanks for checking us out. Stay safe out there. Happy Trails. 🤩
TrainFan119 🇺🇸 Make sure you get some pics/video of it. Cabovers are getting more rare it seems. We would like to know what kind of cabover it is. Have fun, stay safe and don’t forget to enjoy the ride! 🤩
Porter Productions well in my area a few have seemed to come out of retirement and get restored and then get put back into revenue service but the one I’m talking about I’m pretty sure is a peterbelt
@@TrainFan119 🇺🇸 Sounds good! We love the old Pete’s, actually just about all the old rigs! We have our favorites, but still appreciate the fine classic big rigs! 🥰
🇺🇸 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! 🤩

🇺🇸 Not everyone likes a stretched frame. I’m not sure that many places in Europe would be appropriate for a stretched truck, but who knows.

Oklahoma truck spotting Thanks! We spot quite a few in places, but don’t always get to take pics or video of them. I own a cabover IH Walmart truck. Love to see some of the ol trucks out on the road...especially when they look that nice...and with a Cat engine to boot!
Those Peterbilt cabovers are super rare nowadays.
The dislikes must be from cascadia drivers wearing flip-flop who can't drive a manual.
LOL
thats 100% accurate i guarantee lol
No doubt about it
1985-86 Peterbilt 362-S90. It has after market headlights which make it look like a 352. Amazing catch!
