Yes I know we all heard the roughfiding pogsticking COEs. But I still love them. I love them because back in the days of the interstate you could see them in different colors on the highway so you won't get blind. I also like today's Conventionals but they're too plain and no scheme. They'll save you money but what good point are they? The COE's are much funner because they have different styles and appearances.If anyone has any Cabover pictures to share or know if any work please tell me. Thanks.

In my buddy's yard. It last ran in 1977. It has a 6V-71 Detroit in it. I forget what kind of trans it has. I remember his father driving it pulling a flatbed. He hauled peat moss, and bearing rings to the to be heat treated.

Don't go near that thing until next winter. There's probably more wasp nests all over that truck now than needles on a pine tree.

Can you imagine driving cross country in that thing?

Sure. Just swap the fifth wheel for a sliding one, hook up to a set of doubles and away you go. See you next month when you get back.

Used to run a Crackerbox just like that one back in '77-'78 pulling containers out of Richmond, Ca. Same color and everything (lotsa rust!) Had a 238 and a 10 speed- had to hold it in 9th gear, what a pain. Sure brings back some good memories though.

I was talking to my buddy today and he wanted me to mention that that truck paid for 8 houses and a 50' x 80' cinder block garage with four 14' roll up doors.
His father was pretty good about saving money and buying another rental house whenever he got enough for a down payment.

One thing I should probably add, He never never ran cheap freight. He always used to say it was better to park the truck.

Not bad if you have a shop to work on them and someone that can devote their time to doing the repairs.

You know I was just thinking about something one of my buddy's brothers told me about that truck. Back in the 60's when he was hauling peat moss, the father went to move a trailer out of a line so he could tie it down. When he moved it a bunch of the bales fell and damaged a load of balled trees sitting next to it. So he ended up having to pay for the damaged trees. So he took them home and his wife sold them out of their front yard. She was a good woman. Turns out that selling trees was quite profitable. That house and yard have been a full time garden center for about as long as I can remember.
