Nick Nelson Series Part 4 1964 Peterbilt
Фильм және анимация
My good friend Nick Nelson introduces us to the the family’s 1964 Peterbilt 351 Narrow Nose. Powered by a 220 Cummins backed by 9 forward gears, this aluminum framed truck is believed to have been an Alaskan logging truck in its past life. (The archeological digging continues into it’s vast history) It wears Wyoming tags and has side covers missing from it’s iconic butterfly hood; which personally I find adds a gritty romance to it. The shutters on the grille once wore a green and white “hourglass” design many years ago along with a healthy dose of chrome on the exterior. The cab is a time capsule into the masculine mid 60’s and boasts the coolest driver’s seat I’ve ever sat in.
No doubt Nick’s sons will be stepping up to help keep this heirloom ready for the next generation to appreciate the simplicity and ruggedness of the American Peterbilt.

Special Thanks to Nick Nelson and family.

Man oh man!!!! Nick has one hell of a fleet!!!!! Thanks to guys like him for saving these trucks and you Phillip for interviewing and documenting them!!!!
Yup it was a logger, walking beam suspension with rubber biscuits, you'll hate em on the highway and love em in the woods. I drove a 65 two axle narrow nose for a guy down south for a while, started out with a 275 iron lung with a 4x4 trans then ended up with a NTC 335 and a 13spd. Most fun I've had in my 40yr (so far) career. 😊
Excellent video series and a beautiful truck. It is nice to see the passion and care he takes for these rolling works of art.
Thanks for getting it right,Peterbilt is a narrow nose,KW is a needle nose…btw..only 4x4..even 4x3 back then😊
Thank you for keeping the front bumper real , most people get a beautiful old truck like this and first thing put a big stupid looking square thing on it about to drag the ground .

Don't forget some big stupid looking excuse for a sun visor also.
That's what a real truck should look like,absolutely beautiful work of art
I love needle nose trucks sweet ol girl. I wish I could find a needle nose to fix up with my kids.
The truck is licensed in Crook County, WY. Beautiful part of the country in the Black Hills national forest. About half way between Sturgis, SD and Devil's Tower.
Your making great videos boyo. I love walkarounds. I've seen all of nicks needle nose petes so far, all great old trucks. I'm a firm believer in saving old iron. New trucks are garbage
Very cool it's been brought back to driving but without a restoration. Not many left in that nice of original condition.
I’m purchasing a 1966 Peterbilt 351 today ! Basically same truck
Good lord, how many trucks does this gent have? Could have a mini museum. Very cool.
