Just a little bit of Love is all she needs !!!
Bought a 68 Pete cabover years ago. Had a 318 Detroit. Had a sleeper. Recessed exhaust. Gentleman didn’t take care of it. I sold it to a guy. Put a new v6 Detroit diesel. Had it for years. Good video. 😊
Cabover heaven! Love all the trucks you should make a vid on each one
We have made individual videos for most of them if you haven’t seen them you can check those out but there are some videos that have yet to come out, so keep an eye for them!!!
Awesome 💯👌🙌
I love these old cabovers. If they could talk. LOL Most these single axle trucks were probably used at LTL companies.
My dad’s was similar, including the recessed exhaust stack, only 1 on the passenger side along with the intake coming through the cab. Wheel base was a little longer, 260”, 3 axle with a stinger that the 5th wheel was mounted on, 24” behind the rear axle.
My first million miles were spent in a cabover freightliner . No power anything, no A/C . At the time I didn’t know how good I had it.
That’s when men were men!!
even the day cab had the air intake through the cab .....interesting
the 5th will pass DOT .....lol just like today when you mount your 5th wheel with zip ties
I wonder if that's an old PIE truck ?
Could be, but not sure. I wish there was a better way to do like a carfax for these trucks to better understand where they came from and what they did in the past.
What are your plans for Tina?
Not totally sure yet, any ideas??
@@CLGarage Go through all the lines, replace them, replace that bad fuel tank. This truck is pretty much a time capsule. Paint the wheels, frame, tanks, etc. I think the front bumper is aluminum so that would be cool if you stripped the paint off and polished it.
That sounds like a great start for sure, the front bumper is aluminum but does have some damage but it’s thick so could be welded and straightened out then striped and polished. We may switch all the lines to plastic, might be cheaper that way since there is so many of them.
@@CLGarage Yes, that bumper could probably be repaired or if worse comes to worse a shop could build a new one or something. I would've suggested painting the truck but with all the body work that would need done and the fact that the paint isn't all that bad of shape I think it's ok. Factory White peterbilt engine also, that would be cool if you got a sandblaster to get that painted up good
Right, the possibilities are endless really in so many ways. But to keep it looking old school/time capsule like the “patina” look ha “no pun intended there” could be cool
