True statement about 1974 times were hard and we made out and we’re proud of anything we had Did a lot of rigging back in those days - we were worried about only making out with what we had.

You guys have to return and give it some filters and fresh fuel. I'd love to see that old truck drive out of its grave and I'm sure everybody else would too. I was a little nervous when you fired it up because I thought if you didn't pull the valve cover and check the injector rack and it's stuck, it's not good! Luckily it wasn't so it didn't grenade the motor. I used to drive a 1978 White Road Boss with the same motor back in 1992 for a guy I worked for. Those motors were loud and gutless, and the White was hot as Hades in the summer with no A/C, but some folks loved them. Other drivers hated that truck because she was straight-piped. When I would pull into a rest stop at 3 am to rest my head on the steering wheel, it would definitely wake some folks. I remember when the truck caught fire and I didn't shed a tear. I got a new to me replacement truck, a 1983 Mack R model with an aftermarket stereo and air conditioning! I was moving up in the world!

I use to hate jacking those Freightliner cabs all the way over because sometimes when you got to the tipping point of the cab they would just flop right over when the cab jack wasn't working right. The push button is to override the Murphy gauge until oil pressure builds to the set spec. Can't believe that truck would have been 2 yrs. old when I worked on them. Been a diesel engine mechanic for 47 yrs.

I was a kid when these were on the road. Used to see these all the time back when White owned Freightliner, before White went bankrupt and Daimler bought Freightliner. The COEs could turn in any tight spot, but they were unbearable in the summer due to the heat coming into the cab from the engine. But in winter, they kept you nice and warm. I miss seeing those Trucks on the road.

They entered a marketing and sales agreement with white motor company, that is when the White FREIGHTLINER logos showed up. The partnership ended in the late 70’s or early 80’s, I don’t remember exactly when. My dad had one similar to this one, 4 head lights, Cummins engine. I used that front grill door many times to check and add oil. The cab tilt system is the big handles release the cab locks, the small tee cable pulls a safety catch for the first couple of inches of rise.

Drove a 59, a 61, 66, 71,73,74, some 80, somethings. Where you checked the rad cap, that’s the duct for the “ frontal air “ intake system. The air cleaner on a Cummins would be a heavy steel box mounted on top of the engine. It was rare to not find broken mounting brackets that hadn’t vibrated apart and didn’t need welding. I think that’s a 73 inch cab. Up in Canada, Kwickasair trucking ran a fleet of these from Vancouver to Montreal running team. 57 hours one way, 2750 miles. Lots of wrecks. The 66 I drove was a slab cab. It was an 8V 71 with N55 injectors. So it was rated at 280 hp. I pulled a spread 4 axle trailer with 84,000 lbs on the deck of glass windows. You knew where all the hills where.

would love to have a old truck with a 325 Cat, 13 speed RR and single axle, would make a great tiny home transporter. compared to long haul trucking, I could never wear it out.

Dip stick behind little door on upper left of radiator grill - I drove one just like this in 1977 for 'Clay Hyder Trucking', Auburndale, Fla. hauling Tropicana out & Swingin' Meat back.. It was a straight 250 Cummins, w/a 10speed Spicer & 4:11 rears. It was a twin screw.

Might be lucky it didn't pick up fuel. Those detroits are super famous for the rack sticking and running away when started after sitting for any length of time. Its easy enough to check, just pop the two nuts off the valve covers and see if you can manually move the rack and also check and make sure that the injectors are hung wide open.

Hope this is saved. Never was into diesels too much until i started watching videos on the 8v71s and 12v71s. Wish i had the expertise and resources to restore one!! Ashame they dont make these anymore, so awesome!

I remember a year or so ago that Wal-Mart was going to a 60' trailer with some weird cabover, but I never heard any more about that. When I first got into the trucking business in 1979, the 45' 13'6" was a new thing. Damn. I just made myself feel old.

Back in 1991 I was with a company called Fleetline out of Lancaster Tx and we pulled 57 foot dry vans across Texas Oklahoma Arkansas Kansas New Mexico and to Florida. We had to sneak across Alabama because they weren't permitted. Arkansas wanted a 24 hour permit also. Lol so we'd go around those scales frequently. There were actually a few that were pulling 57s around. Usually hauling lightweight bulk freight such as Owens Corning insulation out of Waxahatchie, Tx. The tail swing was the worse part of pulling them if your tandems were set forward... But always make sure to slide them all the way back before loading or unloading so that the landing gear wouldn't come off the ground when the forklift entered the trailer. Every one that I pulled were made by Wabash trailer company. Since then they kind of faded away. I haven't seen one on an interstate in decades.
