    It's amazing to see an old cabover, I'm a millennial. I was born two years after that truck was manufactured. I love seeing old trucks like that. It's a time capsule, amazing to see it still runs. 👍👍👍

    Bringing back memories Wiley. Drove the old cabovers many miles they were warm in the summer and cold in the winter. That license plate bracket was used for tractor plates and back then we had to register them each individual state some had there own plates where some had their own sticker you had to put on the drivers door. Later on they came up with the IFTA program which got rid of the extra plates and stickers. It simplified the registration process. Just a little history in our past Keep the videos coming! I'm sitting here retired from the trucking industry after 50 years and love watching you try to revive the old trucks from the past 👍👍❤

    The 86 in the model number is an 86" bunk.1980 was the first year that Freightliner parted ways with White Motor Corp. When the heads start leaking there is usually a liner jumping, those old 855's were notorious for it. Sometimes you can pull the one head of three and shim the liner but it probably needs rebuilt.

    My first Freightliner was a FLT 9664 with a 3408 cat with a retarder and 13 spd. The cab was a slant back design to provide extra reefer clearance I would imagine but my truck had sufficient wheelbase Loved that old cabover except the Armstrong steering in tight quarters. Nice old cab o. That one. Should you ever come across a Freightliner Powerliner I’m all in.

Dick chewed tobacco and me being 5 abouts was always curious about it because he made it seem taste. I was asking him about what it tasted like, and a million other questions and he say here boy have some. of course, my dad let him give it to me. I'll never forget that experience.
