    As a European driver I really like to see a American cabover, they're so unique and big, if you ask a European driver what they like about north America they'll all say the trucks, looks great, it's good to buy a piece of history like this and preserve it, greetings from all the way from the Netherlands, have a great day

    Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 Glad you stopped at the local bar and found some nice trucks, especially a nice cabover. Love those old cabovers! 🥰 So, it seems that you already bought the truck before you even got there. Glad it worked out for ya. Those 3 wipers on the truck are so WOWSERS! Love that look! 🥰 I’m glad it’s not an aluminum frame truck. Yeah, the metal frame shows some signs of rust, but that’s all repairable! How about “Theodora” as a name for the new Pete? Either way, as you said, Peterbuilt Mike now has a Peterbuilt truck! 🤩 Happy Trails! ✌️

    Mike, this is more like it, better than the crusty Freightliner, though I don't think we've seen the last of that. Handy having that rear deck for recovering other projects. Loving your videos and how you take us with you on your journey. Mike from Lancashire 🇬🇧

    Glad to see you so happy. That truck is the perfect project truck that the average man could work on without spending the life savings.
    Also looking forward to some footage of the drive across Alberta.

    Congratulations Mike !!, nothing wrong with 350 HP, we pulled triple road trains with that size motor back in the day here in Oz...good luck with it...

    That brings back old memories of a '80 352 that I put a lot of miles on. I had a 350 Cummins in mine and it always did the job but would have loved to have had a yella motor. I wore out a 10 speed in mine - had to drive from Chicago to Austin, TX with a bungee cord holding the stick in the big hole, camped out at the top of Vail Pass for 4 days until the ice cleared enough to come down, hauled a load of grapes from Bakersfield to Beantown in 68 hours total time, ran the Montana outback in January though Denver was colder at 18 below but also was in Gila Bend at 117º, and made three back to back round trips between Orlando and LA in that truck, as well as many, many less memorable drives. It served me well but the industry made me bankrupt.
    If you get that AC fixed correctly it can make that cabin feel like a meat locker. Drive it right: both hands on the wheel and both feet flat on the floor. ☺

    Congratulations Mike. That Pete looks like a 30-year-old truck in good condition. White wheels, red stripes with a black border and golden pinstrips would look good and old school style.

    @kennyspry5189 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice Truck for sure BUT you are all over the place you don't know if your coming or going or if your going up or down lol.. You need to take something that will relax you down just a little bit . Good Luck with this project until the next thing you see or think about lol. Awesome video as always.

  • @michaelstansfield319
    @michaelstansfield319 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Comes complete with a hornet starter home that can be seen at 15:40. Not bad for an old truck and at least it runs and drives. I think it's a good pick.

    I used to drive a 1988 Double bunk Pete Cabover. I loved it. Drove for a Company out of Paramus, NJ. Called Carretta Trucking. They had all Cabovers Petes and KW. Great Company to work for. I was the youngest Guy hired at the age of 22 yrs Old.. Loved it. Unfortunately I had to come off the road. My Wife Died giving birth to Our youngest Son. So I had to stay home.Great trucks they are...

  • @deanontheboat8086
    @deanontheboat8086 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes yes yes much better. Don’t know what you were thinking last week . Mate seems a nice bit o kit. Good engine and it is a Peterbilt , I don’t know why Peterbilt Mike would have anything else. Well a Kenworth is good too. Like you my old man had a transport company back in the day and the fleet were all K and W series so I like you got one too. being in Auz Peterbilt did not supply Australia like Kenworth , all fully imported hence big bucks, always wished we had one in the fleet but was never to be. Now I am a little envious, live in the UK now , so neither accessible. Just have to keep watching your vlogs to get my fix.
