1966 peterbilt 352 unilite cabover

NTC 335 hope it has a 13 speed behind it. Great old Pete glad there's hope for it. It would've been a fine ride in its day. Won't be anybody sitting around 60 years from now looking at today's trucks and talking about how cool they were. If any of the junk survives.

wow still has the old tube-lock split rim aluminum buds! definitely a treasure of history

[@ronaldmorrison6013]

Them old style aluminum rims are my favorite! Also...when they used to put lights on the quarter fenders.

[@russvoight1167]

That 335 sounds great

[@rce8540]

Them 335 Cummins were a good engine. Drove one back in the seventies. Nice truck.

[@georgerenton965]

335 had tapered nose crankshaft. They where know to break off ! Like the early 350’s they had an aneroid air/ fuel control valve that was external of the fuel pump. They where easy to tamper with, but the result for the most part was excessive smoke on acceleration. In the 70’s at became a feature on the “ AFC “ PT fuel pump ( Air Fuel Control). and was integral to the fuel pump body casting. Remained that way till electronic fuel control made the scene. The messed with “ Step Timing Control “ on the twin turbo 475 hp NTA’s and some California engines with mechanical advance on the cam boxes, not sure but the “ 444” had some sort of oil pressure sensing injector timing advance but it was a failure due to internal oil leakage. By the late 70’s the 335 was a thing of the past, and had no aftercooler. 350 that replaced it wasn’t that big an improvement, but the cranks where better. One applications with heavy loads, pulling 140k gross day to day, it wasn’t uncommon to see heat crack fissures in the piston crowns. A not abused NTC 290 was the best engine for dependability back then. I drove a new 77 352 with a 435 Silver 92 back in the day, but I was always a K100 guy. Drove an 82 VIT for 26 years long haul. NTC 400 BC 2 not a powerhouse, but was dependable if you stayed away from Cummins Recon parts.

Had a 68 Pete cabover had stacks in corners of the cab. Had a 318 in it. Never cared for the cab corners knotched out like that. But was a nice old truck. That’s a gem. Was always a Cummins man.

That old Pete sounds good

[@milla698]

The motor sounds great. Looks like someone was taking parts off of it.

[@timcanizares5240]

Damn thats a sweet ride

[@danvanhoose6783]

Real nail biter.

[@neilmcintosh1200]

Super truck. What had it been used for before it got parked up? Screen won't suffer from condensation.

[@robertmakiney8708]

I was born in 1966 and some days I feel like that truck looks

[@ruxoneto6560]

Has the western air ride.

[@ericmhinkle6003]

[@captainmorgan1107]

Love it! Unilite 352's are one of my favorite cabovers. Aluminum frame?

[@jonolson2057]

all unilights had a aluminum frame we had a 69 with aluminum frame curb weight 8500 lbs with a 1674 cat 13 speed the other version was the "pacemaker" that came either or steel or aluminum frame

[@andrewnorris1514]

I'd say she's in good hands

[@entitledcolorado3873]
