COE plan/questions/advice

I didn't stop there. Here was an earlier 1978 4070 B I had a roof put on by an outfit called TTT tops in Akron OH in 1980.
Let's just say I was a little nuts. Never drove anything but a cabover in 45 years. My buddy says my brain has turned to mush.

 

I can easily think of 100 reasons why I would never want to recessitate a cab over

 

I would have been out of my last one at least 5yrs earlier than I was, if it wasn’t for that 3408 in it. Was worth cowboying up and climbing for that.

 

Don't get me wrong They are old school cool I like looking at them... I shimmied up & down a COE 800 for a couple months when I was still wet behind the ears.. I'd think about it again if there was a 3408 underneath me

 

Let's just say it is an acquired taste.
For almost the entire 20 years I had the Argosy in the picture not a day didn't go by when someone remarked pro or con about them.
There is no middle ground. Love or Hate.
I always had one question for the guys who used to say "gee I wish I had my old cabover" as I was backing into a space in a full truckstop no one else could use.
"Where were you when we needed the sales?"

 

Look up the definition of cabover here at TTR and @Studebaker Hawk will be the first one,keeping the dream alive !!
There are quite a few cabovers down in the south/southwest and southeast-I’ve seen a few Mexican carriers run them around the border in Laredo. They’d rather run that old iron than mess with the new stuff International has been putting out!
I’m kinda partial to cabovers myself-closest decent I could find near me is this bad boy!

I work on a old freightliner for a guy he’s rather large…I am about 6-3 and 200lbs and I can’t imagine driving one more than into the shop let alone living in it.
I am glad to see someone who values old dependable iron
