A view of the Past, Vintage Photos

There's literally no photos to take photos of though unfortunately.

 

I'll take a closer look at it today.

 

Came across a couple old cabovers if anyone is interested.
1984 Freightliner Vintage Tractor Semi Cabover Truck Rat Rod Restoration Project | eBay
1980 Ford | eBay

 

No one was at the shop when I got there. There's no information on the truck. It's got an aluminum frame and the guy brought it out of Tennessee where it had been hauling Steele. Looks like it has a blower/supercharger on it.

 

6-71 detroit 170 to 228 hp max

 

Hauling steel in Tenn. with a 238 Detroit? Yep, it was the 60's. I think it's a 64-66 351A. It may have an aluminum cab too. I don't think I've ever seen a 6-71 with a blower and a turbo.

 

I have seen 2 that had a turbo added aftermarket on a 6-71V but never a 6-71L. Those were on 10 wheel dumps that he thought could pull a 8wheel pup and cursed alot when 3 drivers quit because they could not get over 45 mph loaded in the hills on a 100 mile round trip (paid per trip).

 

Here is some interior pics of that ol’ kw I posted a while ago
