Blaming his ignorance on someone else in perfect Bruce style. Where was your pre trip Bruce!
Because he always shows every second of everything he does he made a fuck up they had a joke no body got but hurt about it but you
“No wonder I kept smelling rubber smoke” probably would have been a good time to pull over and check it out
@@madmarty21 and yet you're the only one cussing and throwing a fit about it like a 2 yr old. SMFH 😒🙄🤦
I was a kid in the 1970s and remember seeing all these cabovers on the Ohio Turnpike, on our drive to Cedar Point each year! Sweet truck!
Ask him why he didn’t do his pre-trip Ryan. Hold your ground, I think you can take him…😉😉😆😆
Has he ever done any kind of pre trip on any truck ?
Can’t blame Ryan for that one Bruce, operator is responsible for the rig. Sweet truck
I'm 47 years old I remember seeing those old cabovers running the roads all the time, seeing that one just brings back so many memories. When I grew up I wanted to drive a cab over but I never did, spent 20 years over the road and never drove a cab over, the oldest truck I ever drove was a 79 W900 with a 13 speed and a big cam Cummins
I ran a couple COEs one Freightliner and a KW new trucks, they dominated the roads in early 90s. Back before you could stretch them length restrictions. A dream parking and turning in tight places. One thing I thought about was head on crashes. I knew drivers that would walk if a company put them in a COE. The two I ran rode good. Had conventional trucks that rode worse. I worked for my Family company. I ran whatever truck my brother told me to run. I know for a fact drivers damaged the COEs intentionally, had to be careful who you hired. I liked the COEs been on little roads before GPS . I was so happy I wasn't driving a big conventional, that needed a football field to turn😊
Thanks for purchasing this from my Dad . Glad to add you and watch what you do with it !
What did he pay for it?..just curious
@@wilE6764
I doubt anyone is going to tell that.
Great looking truck!!!
He Bought this cab over out of my home town!
@@kylecarden6000
Where is that?
Always loved those old Semi Trucks, better then the ones we have in today's culture
You should keep the stacks it looks better with the stacks
I had the same truck, and I do believe you have a 76 there, not a 78. It steers easy enough, you Do Not need
power steering!! Great video, this retired old driver appreciates it. I drove from 1974 until 2004.
Yeah he later realized in the video its a 76
Now that's the rig style I grew up with. 👌😁👍
I put power steering on my 1977 352. I used a power steering box from a Freightliner cab over. I made an adapter plate to bolt the box to the frame, so it looked nice in factory. Use the standard power steering pump and mounted the power steering reservoir in the back Behind the cab where the original would be
Straight pipes all the way. Love this Pete absolute Classic and its clean!!!
Without Jake brakes, is there a real need for straight pipes? Afterall, it is a classic basically unmolested truck with a classic look.
You'd better look in your damn mirrors instead of blaming the guy behind you for smoking the tires from fenders rubbing.
Tells ya he didn't do a pretrip at all or even looked over the truck before buying it
In my travels i have been seeing more and more of these oder trucks that have been restored and put into service. Im sure eventually laws will restrict this but for now i will enjoy the sight and sounds of these beauty's!!!
In Ontario there’s talk about any truck over 12 years old has to be taken off the road , hope not cause mine is 15 years old , it’s absolutely mint condition , all trucks have to have annual safety inspection so it doesn’t make any sense , they have to be in great condition or they are taken off the road . Just another white collar talking about something that he has no clue about , costing the working man big time !
@@glenalguire6960
I have no doubt that they will do that and America will soon follow. They will cram that emissions nonsense down everyone's throats.
Starting to see these old trucks in beautiful shape on the 401 in Canada , the ones I’ve seen are absolutely beautiful , much much respect these brokers bringing these old trucks back to life
At 14:30 minutes: Aah Ryan, Ryan, Ryan...😂 What are we gonna do with the boy Bruce, little oopsie😁👍🏽
Wow that thing is awesome! Love the colors and just everything except the money deck! Put a dance pole on it! Haha
Nice old school Cabover
I'm old and these were new when I started running big loads. Good catch 😊
That truck is bad ass,when I was kid my uncle used to drive one just like that one
Congratulations, Bruce, on your purchase of a Cabover!
bruce is a fraud listen to the truth in his anger he's no respectable business owner he ran that tractor company in to the ground note in every new video he puts out all ways mentions his wife and kids but does not say high to his mom and dad threw the camera they threw him out for bankrupting the tractor company by buying up shit they didn't need like trucks he blew threw 10,000 on blue color cab over czcams.com/video/KwoTXF4Q0j0/video.html
I would keep the exhaust on that it has . And fresh paint. And definitely do those personal touches you listed .It’s definitely a sweet truck. Ryan is learning so don’t be to rough on him . He’s a good young man.
Theres a ole cabover pete thats always hualing cattle every day wherei live. Super gorgeous workhorses.
Back in the day, my Dad drove a Diamond Rio. Loved riding with him. Good memories.
Ryan’s brain is like an unused satellite, just up there floating in space😂
Lol
Hahaha.. Space Cadet hard at work!!
That Truck is Awesome try not to overkill it w the Add ons Bruce love the Old school trucks !!! Take care Bud ....
This is going to make me and a lot of other people happy!👍👌
Looking forward to this content
Glad to see a genuine smile on you bro💯 excited to see where this truck goes
In pieces sadly, like à all thr project he buy
@@lionelchartrand2829He loves peterbilt so probably not
@@ww2dogfighter1944 what i mean in pieces is that he's going to start dismentling it to put new part on it and just never finish it just like the whote scania
@@lionelchartrand2829 ok
For almost a 50 year old truck, it's a nice time capsule. 💪
Nice truck, Bruce. I appreciate you sharing, buddy 👍
That is a honey of a classic truck. Used to drive a cab over White.
It had the same instant old time air con and a massive steering wheel.
Watching in New Zealand.
Only buying for CZcams then will kill it and sell it. Well it's his thing
Like the international then airforce 1 international, the gmc, kw conventional, the red scania, the white scania, and then the black scanias been kicked to the kerb, blue collar got sold, not really a giveaway as it was a raffle, i hope this pete is safe,..
@@cabovermike go get a life
@@cabovermike Don't kid yourself. You know it won't be.
Name it, Waylon Jennings. The late 70's was his time. I'm sure he even rode in one of them old cabover Pete's
Congratulations on the new rig. Looks like the Winnebago of Peterbilts, LOL.
Ok Bruce, & The Cameraman Randy Savage,yall take it easy, have a good one and #StayFosty my friends.
Very cool! The very 1st truck I drove was a 1992 Freightliner 712 Satellite. I love me some cab overs!
That is a really nice Cabover Bruce. I hope you keep it. Good old trucks are hard to come by these days. Especially ones in mint condition like that one.👍
Get with Rob at S H tube and get some custom stuff made for Hank. Like a custom deck plate and a custom light box.
I know of an transtar that was owned by a county here in Canada , with only a few thousand miles on , it was bought by tackaberry construction in Ontario , it’s now living its life under cover in a heated shop , it’s absolutely in mint condition , all original , it’s quite the sight
Very cool . Can't wait for these upgrades. At least you can use the tires again.
That thing is freaking awesome!
Hi Aaron. I am father and son in joplin on the Harley springers. You were going to send photos. See you around
I can perfectly imagine the guy driving this truck in the 80's. Marlboro red smokin with Hank Williams Jr. blaring on the radio banging gears talking dirty on the CB!
Oh good another project !
He will announce that this classic cabover Peterbilt will be for sale in 5...,4...,3...,2.... I am sure you get the idea!
That is one handsome brute of a truck, I dont understand why you would want to change anything on these classic vehicles!! As for the cabover style, there are nothing but cabovers here in the UK and Europe, most of the roads we negotiated you needed a close coupled trailer with the axles set forward. You would never get a US style rig around narrow country lanes and densely packed city streets, so its horses for courses ! Apart from British trucks like the ERF that were fitted with 350bhp Big Cam Cummings that I loved, I have spent my 46 year commercial driving lifetime sat in a Volvo's F88 like the one in my Avatar from the late 1970's or or F10/12's and the later Volvo FH Globetrotters, or right up to my recent retirement in Scanias, the last one being one of the new generation type.
See my avtar, my 1976 f88, i always fancied an american truck, looked at loads over the years, in uk and usa, petes/kw's/whites/freightliners but non came close to the F88,.
love the cabovers would love to drive one them again I drove many mile in one of them pete cabover too .but I would put power steering on it for sure
Random question from someone not from USA. What was considered the best make of truck back in the 70,80,90s? I don't know much about them, but like Mack, Peterbilt, Freightliner, GMC, Kennworth, White etc? When they were like their own companies
What a nice specimen! All that wood grain and Naugahyde in excellent shape. .
You know the old saying: Old truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbuilt!
About time. Keep the old cabovers coming. This rig is so badass
now that's a very cool looking truck , Bruce Wilson. i would keep the radio with the 8 track for sure you might meet a old retired trucker who used to work the truck that your in and it could be his last request to go for a drive in it, and give you some of it's secret's too.
I drove a 1978 Pete just like HANK IN WASHINGTON for years great memories
This truck is super clean,excellent condition wouldn’t mind owning it just love it🙏🏻👌💯❤️try n keep it as original as you can.
Almost like BJ & The Bear just go dude love it❤badass find Bruce ok guys have a great weekend later
What a nice cab over!! I like these longer videos personally. Can't wait to see the work get done
On the right hand side cab cylinder there should be a latch that will catch when you get it far enough over.
She looks great Bruce
Cool looking interior.
Ryan, tell him if he’d done his pre-trip he should have seen the fender/tire issue.
wow, a rolling museum with some modern details.😁Nice
If Bruce is true to form, in about a week he will change everything on this truck. Take a good look at this truck. You will not see it the same.
Started right up. Nice
About time you got another cabover
Forget the power steering.
Leave the stacks alone.
No pre trip
It is a beautiful rig.
Hard to believe it is so old.
I would love to have it.
Congratulations.
Super sweet Pete!
I like it. I reckon that just needs a polish & a mattress in the sleeper and keep it largely as it is. I remember when I was a kid seeing in the airport shop those clear epoxy resin toilet seats with money & barbed wire inside them, that dollar deck plate has style.
Super nice truck what a great find
That's one neat sweet Pete👍
& congratulations 🎉Bruce & ur stepping in high cotton now & good 4u 😮
Bruce is back in the Cabover…👍
he's full of shit if he's so done why is back to buying projects and selling them? czcams.com/video/KwoTXF4Q0j0/video.html
Hidden def tank we all know it got that maintenance free dpf 😂😂
The ol hidden def tank gimmick
Havent u noticed Brutus blows blacks smoke and is loud he made it “maintenance free” awhile back
@@zachdial8538 deleting is expensive nowadays. the epa charges you for every change and they go after the shop who did it.
That thing is incredible
I have seen that truck I go by that place all the time it's really cool
Do you remember JB hunt cab ove us when you opened up the door the steps came out and you walked right up in. I drove one of those for a while but I started out and your mom is still going to wait for a Mon. Th and when you saw me out of IPP at the hunt's point. New york I love it
Straight pipes for sure 👍
you should come up to the Large cars and Guitars truck show at the Smokies Stadium
A touch of class.
SH Tube makes some killer light box set ups for the rear of the truck
I'm so excited
Bruce, fix it up, don’t paint it! Put a badass sound system in it, keep the 8 track, clean it and make it clean, throw on a pearl snap and some wranglers, son be ready to go
What a nice time capsule cab! Would be moderate with the changes so the outside still match the original inside. There is plenty of modern around, this feels more special and reminds of the simple old days..
In 1988 I drove a 1975 Pete, it had 400 Cummins, 13 speed , it had 4:33 rears. I think it was a 362 model. At 2100 it tops out at 65 mph, no power steering.
Awesome cab overs, you should tell tim about that cab overs and the pete he is always looking for cab over spares
Take very good carefully of that one because that's a classic cabover
I would agree with those fenders being like that. Nice cabover.....
Cabover always are my favorite
Sweet lookin 352...power steering and air ride behind the cab is a must😎👍
Get some more neck chains, chicago and Detroit will up your views. Holy mackerel Der andy.
Air ride the front end, full size 24’s on the rear, 22’s in the front, new box bumper and new stainless deck cover and rear bumper. 6” straight pipes and few other odd and ends and let the classicness shine 👌
WOW your film guy is a few beers shy a case sits and films the mud guard digging into the tire LOL!! talk about not paying attention. I think that's a decrease in pay right there now you got to get him to clean the rubber off everything LOL!
It looks so cool, love the colours too 😎
I would leave mufflers, because those look to be nice shape, exhaust done well and look good too.
Beautiful truck.
Blaming Ryan... looks like a driver pre-check overlook to me!
Nice truck ! Go easy on Ryan lol. He should have told you but I'm sure you noticed as well.. Most American LaFrance firetrucks where built here in hamburg ny . HQ out of SC. They shut down unfortunately but now E-ONE firetruck are made here.
I was a mechanic for a fleet of 45 of those when they were brand new. I know just about every nut and bolt. 2 things.... Always use the safety bar when you jack the cab up. The jack handle should be in the passengers side door under the sleeper hanging on 2 brackets. Those cab jack pumps used to leak oil so always carry a little extra transmission oil for that because it sucks when you have to jack the cab up and it won't go up. Another thing to check is the battery box for cracks. They are aluminum and were known to break, especially with the shock from leaf spring suspension. I noticed that truck has 2 straps to hold the door from opening too much. The earlier models only had one and the screws that hold it on would rip out from the weight of the door opening when the cab was tilted. I used to connect a bungee cord from the door to the door striker to take the weight off of the straps.
I posted my comment before the video was over. I see you found the cab jack. Lol! It looks like the battery box was repaired already and that's a good thing. It really makes a mess when the batteries and air tanks leave the scene. Please don't get under that cab without the safety bar in place, especially with a truck that old. One blown hydraulic line and you've bought the farm. One more thing. When you lower the cab, make sure the shifter is sliding up in the slot in the floor. When they get a little worn they get sloppy and may not line up.
As far as power steering goes, They also made a "power steering assist" which was a hydraulic cylinder attached to the center link activated by tension placed on the drag link. It's an alternative to changing out the box. If you change the box, you'll have to get the bracket that goes with it.
Precioso! Saludos y Bendiciones para ti y tu Hermosa Familia desde Puerto Rico
Bruce! This is a show truck! Enjoy! 🙂
Nice example of 352. I purchased 352 new in 1974, steering wheel looks after market, speedometer is wrong, hope you can source a Peterbilt one somewhere. Mine was 1674 CAT, 13 speed , Pete 4 leaf. Price new was$26,600. Congrats on a good find!
Awesome cab over Bruce this truck would make a cool heavy haul truck third axle on this one NO just kidding with ya classic looks wins every time
I once had an 1986 chevette. Drove the wheels off it in college, sold it with 19600 km on it it rolled over . Haha
Nice ride!!
So nice.
