Man them old school cabovers, I wish Hollywood could make a modern day Convoy movie with all the custom semi's we have rollin around the U.S. these days it would be epic....
Damn fine truck!!!!!! Bring back the old days when we made money and had a lot of fun doing the job,making friends along the way.44yr veteran of the road
This is my Dream job! Live in the USA and work as a trucker. Carry cargo across the States. And I would be infinitely happy, I would be a happy person. God save America, save all Americans! I love America!
OMG man that is a absolutely good looking truck!! I used to ride with my uncle in the early 80's when he was an independent trucker in his 1983 362 Peterbilt cabover. These are the best trucks in my opinion!!
I built an '80 K100 Aerodyne and it has 250 inch Wheelbase. I built a 600 Signature for it from the block up and machined the block to .0005 and corrected most of the issues associated with these engines. I replaced the faulty exhaust manifold with a Full Tilt and turbo, had a custom set of cams ground that were hardened, used marine injectors and fuel pump and its putting 2575 torque out @ 1350 which is where I cruise. She gets between 7 - 8.5 mpg hauling 45,000 depending on mountains or not. I haul produce to the North East and seafood on the back haul. I put 200 gallon square tanks on it with a pair of 50s for axillary. It's a money maker and gets a lot of attention.
They are a nice ridding tractor and wonderful to mauver.. Very confortable ride with the Freightliner air suspension. Or even the Rayco leafed suspension with at least 200 inches on the wheel base.. Mine had a 400 cat with a 212 wheel base. Freightliner air ride. Tall straight 5 inch pipes. A 15 speed. 463 ratio Rear Ends.. It was a 68 MPH truck at 16 hundred reeves, The Cat opend up some what over spec was giving me a constant 5.5 to 6.5 MPG. Pullin a cattle pot. I know by todays standers it's not that good. I regrated letting it go at 980,000 miles. For a new Western Star,, But the star done me good as well. The cab over was starting to nickel and dime me.. Also causing down time. On a Cattle haul is no place to brake down. Them shitters must be there when the gates open.. Ready for the auctioneers hammer to slam down and him saying SOLD.. A person could get away with maybe sub standard equipment on pasture hauls etc.. That very much limits the revenue... I might mention that a cattle trailer is not the best for fuel economy. With the hundreds of air holes catching wind..
There are simply some tractor- trailer combo's that make you triple take and say wow. This is one of those times! As an old song was titled " Justa Strokin". Only a (REAL) trucker is capable of operating this "Man's Truck", period. Keep er safe driver and keep this beauty lookin good.
Love the look, but is there a point to having such a long wheelbase? I could understand it if you had an extra long sleeper or gear box behind the cab, but what good is a lot of open space?
Best way to make $$$. No DEF, no e-logs, no sensors that fail, just drive drive drive. Way to go baby!!
Say it again‼️
As of 2019 elogs are a federal mandate
@@a-nusu serious clark?
@@1219magnum yeah everyone has to have them
@@a-nusnope..2000 and back engine models are exempt.
Man them old school cabovers, I wish Hollywood could make a modern day Convoy movie with all the custom semi's we have rollin around the U.S. these days it would be epic....

Gorgeous! I used to drive an 85 freightshaker coe with a 400 cat and a 15 speed. I loved that truck!

Old school at its finest, gorgeous truck

I'm Brazilian and I share the same dream. God Save America!
Too nice to park at a truck stop! Beautiful, i had a 85 and to this day still my favorite.
This guy used to live in Ontario, Canada. I talked to him at a classic truck show in Ontario. He said he was moving to Texas.
👀
The smart thing to do if you know what I mean...
Yes, a friend of mine to. I am living in Ontario!
Smart move.
The cab over and the flat grey. Man I wish I had a chance to drive that. Work of art.
That COE isn't playing games. Super Sharp... as cold as ice
Beautiful! Must be an old school trucker at heart, has his 4-ways on. Can hardly wait to get my 84' International 9670 on the road. HOOAH!!!
I'm cheering for ya
That’s what I call a classic rig right there, and he’s got the matching reefer❤ makes me feel 5 again😂 thanks for sharing
Love it, love it, love it. Just a gorgeous peace of machinery. Thank you for posting.
Poptart Gone Trucking Checking In , now that is how you show up and show out
Back in the mid 80`s in chino,ca were the nicest cabover freight liners, all hay haulers beautiful trucks
This is an awesome setup with matching trailer 🩶🩶🩶🩶

Drove one with a shorter wheel base and no power steering. A beast at 25 below zero 💪💪!!
Nice video on this one !!! Trucks that made America ! 🇺🇸
Американские грузовики это произведение искусства. Жаль что в России их очень мало
Посмотрите трак шоу европейские..Их грузовики не менее интересны.
Now that is doing it right! Such a beautiful combo with that cabbie and that reefer.
I've always liked the look of these cabovers,bad boy look mean coming at you,cool color, nice lighting. 👍🏿
Now how sweet is it to see two fine freight shakers coming out of the truck wash together beautiful site 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful…Love the cab overs. U. It’s a shame u don’t see them anymore
u just did.
Lots here still earning their keep in the USA
I see one every now and then.
Love it. I would name it "Knuckle Dragger"
Best freightliner cab over ever!
love the beautiful cab over, right look,love the spread axle too,theres nothing like great looking old school
Old school never dies it gets a new set of injectors.
as someone that hates cabovers, i actually think this one looks really good
'CLASS'... is a Clean Classic Cabover !
I miss my 1978 KW K100 Double Sleeper w/430 Detroit, 13 o/d & 3:70 Rears (96mph flat-out) ⚠
Steve / W5BIB - OTR 1977-2009
That's a beast itself no one can too close to it!
..the real king of the road..amazing!!
Beautiful Cabover sounds good to👍👍

Dang Son, that cab over is a sweet rig.

That is a damn good looking set up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Beautiful freight shaker
That old school pusher is bad ass that is the shit
Absolute Beauty! What a rig!!

great lines! :D
Cattle trailer has got to be as bad as a dive brake on a WW2 dive bomber ( perforated flaps designed to slow a diving airplane)
I want one but candy apple red with a chrome and red reefer to match and a KTA 600 not as much stretch tho. Absolutely amazing rig !
Haters will hate but this is one sweet looking truck.
That is one sweet ride, God bless you Sir and keep you safe in Jesus name 🙏
2 of my favorite trucks!!
The gray truck is very good and looks pretty I like it
The whole setup is awesome

Very nice looking truck. And nice equipment too
Wow, what a BA rig! Very nice.

Beautiful rig .. wow .. amazing machine 😊😊😊😊
Boy this is my dream truck awesome!!
Терминатор ( Terminator)
That cab over is as slick as hell! Missing 1 thing a camera underneath the trailer.
Who ever thought a plain grey paint scheme could look so bitchin' ?
Drop dead gorgeous man! Wow ❤
Absolutely gorgeous ❤
Guy in that cabover hating life as he drives down the freeway with that giant, loud and hot engine next to him.
Best COE Freightliner ever to exist
old school trucking is awesome to many rules and regulations in this modern world
love the truck, but doesn't the long wheel base defeat the purpose of a cab over a bit?
I'm not a truck guy, but this is beautiful 😮
That’s a sweet looking ride
Always loved the freightliner cabovers.
Cab over looks like a straight beast got that extension...
Where can I watch more videos of this incredible machine?
Beautiful rig!
Bring back the cabovers to America!
1989 year this truck looks shit awesome
iMMa call this FULL METAL JACKET
Strange it's an 89 and it's a white frightshaker? She sure is a mean machine doe driv,ah...
swapped intake cover. 89 would be freigltiner.
Love the look, but is there a point to having such a long wheelbase? I could understand it if you had an extra long sleeper or gear box behind the cab, but what good is a lot of open space?
Beautiful setup!!
Sin quitarle mérito al Operador, mucho espacio y muchas ventajas pero MUY BUENA MANIOBRA. Bonito tracto.
Забыл добавить. Смотрится этот грузовик, конечно, зачетно. Я заказал бы даже - футуристически.
That's why I got off the road 28 years of driving
Original Optimus prime
Simple paint job but love this tractor 👍😁 looks like an angry pitbull.
I use to drive a long wheelbase 362 Pete Cab Over for TOMAHAWK TRANSPORTATION out of Billings in 1987.
Fab Job ,Cool Trucks 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️Would love something like that , Absolutely beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I learned how to use a splitter in one of those
This truck is absolutely the worst of all worlds.
And I love it.
Drove Cab overs in the 70s hauling cattle. Only thing is you have to put ur pants on laying down.
My What a beautiful cabover..
Now that's a hard to find truck there wish I had one
Work of art!
What a beautiful truck ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I’d never thought those dam cabovers would be so popular.
😂. Good luck to ya man !
Ouah ! Magnifique ! Merci Freightliner kid FloydG.
Man that is one long wheelbase on that cab over .
Good looking truck 💯💯✊🏾✊🏾
I have a amt freightliner model that's identical to this truck. Beautiful 😎
Super sharp
Looks super elegant, but why does it need such a long wheel base ?
For a smoother ride and weight distribution
Badazz......dang, those fuel tanks are awful close to the ground,...course, he might just be "air down"....
Beautiful, beautiful truck. Wow.
looks insane
