Does the truck have that hard rubber suspension? Or did Peterbilt replace it with an air ride? Did they finally upgrade those suspensions in the 80s? It's reportedly why COEs became unpopular in North America.

No chrome. No shine. Just raw power. I’m very happy. Love the memories. Thank you

I know this is a 3 year old video, but I do have to say, this is a beautiful truck. I know people that trash talk cabover trucks, but my grandfather drove a really nice K100, and a surprisingly nice International, both trucks rode nice and were comfortable, and neither was any louder than their conventional counterparts. The maneuverability of cabover trucks is bonkers for the amount of cab you can get, despite the doghouse being in the way.

Boy does that cab over and the 13 speed and the 3406 bring back memories I’m now 73 years young and I spent 40 years in a truck and a large park was in your rigs good video’s

The first trucking job I had was 1987 I drove a freight liner cab over with a 3406b and a 13 speed . 4:11 rears 400hp. In 1987 the only that would touch it was 425 cat . To this day that was a pulling like hell truck . With 4:11 rear at 2100 rpm was about 80mph. But it would go up hill 80,000 lbs. all most as fast ....

It's great to see the old cab over on the road back in 1975 the first truck that I learned to drive was Freightliner cabover

Every time I see one passing by I'll give them a thumbs up. Glad to see the classics still moving. Keep her going. 👍

I love the diesel clatter at 14:00 !! Sounds amazing, probably the best video on KZread!

Early 80's I loved my COE Peterbuilt. Was a work horse for me hauling hay and cattle.

I was in Kewaskum Wi today, 2-27-24 there is a 1987Freightliner Cabover for sale. New trans, clutch, and some other stuff. Place called TOP FUEL GARAGE. $25,000. A little high but with the repairs maybe not. Also a 3406B. Frame is in great shape. If I wasn’t 6’4 tall…I’d be VERY interested. I’d buy it anyway, but can’t as a full time rig.

I'm on the hunt for an older semi now that I got my CDL-A. Looking at an 82 359 with a 3406 and 13 speed. I absolutely love the way Orville sounds and that's just one of the reasons I may go this route. It would cost me more money to upgrade my hotshot truck and trailer and then still be limited to hauling maybe 20K on a 40' trailer. An older semi and flatbed is cheaper than the hotshot equipment! It may not ride like my 23 year old F350 but this is about making $$$.

Great video and of course great Truck, I have one 1984 362 Peterbilt, now is in restoration. Keep making trucking videos. Greetings from Costa Rica.

I'm 20 miles from Milwaukee watch your videos all the time keep it up.. I love old steel like that cab over

Love the cab over videos, great channel and info entertainment!

Hey man I loved this video ...I’m runnin a 3406c mechanical in my 96 Pete and it makes me happy to see em out there, some people on KZread are destroying cabovers for attention meanwhile u are runnin em makin money letting em do what they’re meant to do...props to u man great job

I wasn’t trying to be rude with my previous message. I just love the truck especially cabovers. I’m actually fixing up the exact same model to pull my race car around. It’s been a project to say the least.

Not defending the Bison truck for not moving over but it happened to me a lot times after moving over to the left, the merging driver sped up and started passing me on the right. As we can see in your video the Bison driver took one of the next exits, and if you had started passing him on the right, he would have had hard times to move back into the right lane and to take the exit. However, I'm not saying you would have done that, but I had that happening to me a lot of times. Anyhow, nice rig. Keep on trucking!

Pete's got the best looking cabover's. Anyone remember when tombstone pizza ran them in the mid eighties? They had some of the best looking trucks on the road.
