You have a beautiful truck

I learned to drive in that model truck when I was 22 years old..it was 1985..I had not driven a truck, only in a parking lot. My boss took me to an on ramp on I 40, and put me behind the wheel, I had to learn to shift gears by figuring them out...I drove for 2 weeks without a class A, then went and got my licence first try...I came in the hard way, but in the end, it was the best for me.

Luv them old cabovers! Started out in new '81 cabover Freightliner running coast 2 coast!

I spent a few nights crawling over the dog house getting into my Dad's sleeper when I'd go on trips with him as a kid, that was also my hiding spot when he was loading or unloading , because back in those days a lot of companies didn't allow family ride along .

Not a bad looking cabover. Old school...budds on the front and Dayton’s on the back. Freightliner made good looking Cabovers. Wish they still made them!

Back when I started driving 80% of company trucks were cabovers. My first over the road truck was a 85 freight shaker with a 300 Cummins , 9 spd spring suspension. Newbies don't know how good they have it today.

My first new truck was a stirrup cab freightliner, 335 w/ jakes and a 4X4, 1100X22 rubber and 4:11 rears

Back in the day that ride was one of the best. Most drivers were driving those old 7400 white cabovers with a 238 detroit or 250 Cummins.

Back in the 70s & 80s I put an awful lot of miles behind me in cabovers. My favorite was a 1982 White Road Commander 2 (Road Commode) with a floating high-back driver's side air seat. The truck was powered by a Cat 3406b & with an18 speed road ranger transmission ; I loved that truck

That truck is worth every penny of that $9000 bucks, why? Paper logs!

I loved it when the guys asked if the cab lock was a ratchet, I nearly spewed.

State of the art in 1983. First big truck I ever drove was an old international cabover...probably a late 60s model luckily it was just every now and then moving trailers for company that built trailers. That old pos would beat the crap out of you bobtail...it was so long ago I almost forgot about that manbeater! Thanks for sharing love your videos! 😃 👍

🚛👍I don't see many cabover semi trux around anymore like I used to back in the day. I've always liked those cabovers because they were easier to make turns, park, & back in long trailers in.

Drivers began to complain about getting in and out of them-thus companies used conventionals as a marketing tool to recruit drivers. Also, the length law was changed to long rigs. They are all still made but not many marketed in the states. Take a look at the K 200's that run in Australia-super nice!

I guess I'm old I used to drive one of those all the time. The only people that tilted the cab were mechanics. I never had to tilt the cab but knew how to do it. that truck looks like it's in great condition just looking at it

I put in a lot of miles in those old rigs. Wish u could take a trip in it so we could see your reaction. That metallic clutch is finicky.. try to take off from an intersection and you'll just sit there and HOP like hell til the it decides it's done. You've not lived.

wow, that's a sight to see. When I'm out filming, I see just a few here in Arizona.

My 74 Freightliner 350 Cummins always great in downtown Chicago ,back in anywhere !

Someone called the drives daytons, i always knew them as spiders.

Reminds me of my first driving job in the mid70s. Midwestern Destruction Company ran teams with those and what power! We ran fuel squeezer 290 cummins and 13 speeds. Back then running 48 states you had to be 55 ft max and 73280 max weight. On days you had a headwind that friggin 290 would barely get up to 55mph. Oh, and just to make things interesting the company took the hand valves off because all the lease to buy guys were frying the trailer brakes .....I don't think we had jakes, either....You learn real fast about taking your time goin' downhill.

love the cabovers, that one is my favorite from freightliner.

Brings back memories.I started Trucking in 1989 at 24 yrs old.First truck International 9670 cabover spring ride with no Jake brake.The so called young know it all drivers would never consider driving one. No tv, refrigerator, microwave,xbox, cell phone, laptop,and the lists is endless.Stayed out all week just duffle bag for clothes shower bag and work boots.Bunch of spoiled crybabies on the road nowdays.

Classic truck with a big ole doghouse.

Old school Americana! Love it

Back from the day when men were men..women were scarce.. and sheep were nervous! Drove an '88- 350 come-appart, 8spd, pancake bags, coffin bunk...similar to this. One of the best trucks I ever drove! 👍

Yes Scottied the first handle was the lock to keep the cab down and then you use the pump by the fuel tank to raise the cab oh that's taking me back hahahaha

I know very little about trucks, but a lot, a lot, and, a lot about the ZOmbie apocalypse. You definitely need a reliable cab over. The tight turn radius is the clincher.

Put a ½ ton steel "C" beam bumper, and the parabolic springs on the front end and transform the ride. Most American CoEs suffered from high unsprung weight ratios due to having alloy cabs etc., sometimes even chassis, but heavy duty, short travel springs and heavy axles. Adding a very heavy bumper redresses the problem in the simplest manner ..... as proven on a few occasions.

Change a few things, clean it up a lot..an move that air cleaner out of the middle of the cab ( my god that looks dumb ) be a nice old truck. To bad its cummins powered....My dad had one a lot like it when I was a kid. But it had a different trim package..The truck was dark red, lots of chrome and the inside was nicer than the average fleet style truck. The steering wheel was the old semi transparent dark red with glitter in it, the shift knob an switch extentions matched chrome gauges an all that. The cab to his is in an old junk yard about 10 miles from my house.

I have driven a lot worse. It would make a good starter truck.

I would like to have that cabover

It would be a good ole flatbed truck just running the east coast be home every weekend damn sure wouldnt run otr in that thing even tho i love cabovers

These guys look like the are looking at a spaceship lol

Blamed good shape for a bull hauler. I've seen a LOT worse! Thanks, Scotty!

You could make a great backing video. No power assist, build up those muscles with Armstrong steering.

That guy that said the interior is pretty bad is spoiled. Must be a SWIFT employee. I started in an R model with a fold up chair and a pillow for a seat.
