Pretty Cool!

What a gross piece of truck!

A cab-over is bad enough, but those huge top windows would drive me crazy.

 

I used to drive on like that pulling flatbed running from Tennessee to California.
It was governed at 75 mph.

 

Way better than the new junk.

 

Clean looking rig. Air ride? I’d guess that the owner stretched the frame a bit, because the cabovers I drove were extremely short wheelbase.

 

Have you ever lived in a cabovers? From what I remember they are aweful. Crawling over the doghouse to get in the sleeper. No room to move around because of the doghouse.cant stand up to put on your clothes so have to do it laying down or sitting.sitting over the front axle so it rides rough. Never drove a " flat floor", I heard they were better. You can have them ,I'll stick with my newer Pete. Oh ,don't forget anytime you do maintainance and jack up the cab you have to take a bunch of stuff out.

 

That’s the way I remember it too.
Funny all this nostalgic talk by some.. I’m thinking either Alzheimer’s is setting in, or they never had the “pleasure” of the experience.

 

Yeah, but they sure were easy to back. You could stuff those puppies in even the worst of holes- usually 1st shot.

 

At least you could find your rig easy, probably would not have to worry about someone steeling it and if that car cut in front of you, you would not lose sight of them.
