Cabovers at Mid American Truck Show 2023 MATS

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Going down the road or at a show, It's always a joy to see a Cabover! 🙂 👍

[@davidtoups4684]

I love cabovers! It's so cool when you see one still out on the road. It's becoming a rare sight though

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@davidtoups4684 I agree David!

[@robertpfuhl2679]

I really do miss those days,loud and hot in the summer,but just something about them makes me nostalgic

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Robert!!!

[@johnshields6852]

I drove an international cabover delivering auto parts for Toyota, Mazda in the northeast Boston to Buffalo, VT, ME, I loved, a sleeper, comfortable, very maneuverable, I had to squeeze in some tight spots. I've driven millions of miles. Retired.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Aaaaaaa very cool John, now those were the good ol days!!!!

[@thythethy9590]

Nice To See Orwell Included!

You may have hated them when you drove them but they still hold a special place and time in my heart

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Terry

That's a, Awesome beautiful 352 Peterbilt Cabover Truck Me personally If I had, the money I would buy my own Cabover Truck

It sure is Jason!

[@richarddaniels2754]

In the late seventies I was driving a GMC General ten yard dump truck when a friend of mine moved to Newport Arkansas and bought a couple of cab overs. I went down and sat in the saddle of a 1974 International cab over with a 400 Cummings with a 13 speed Fuller transmission. Driving in the mid west and south east for two years before I came back home to start my apprenticeship to be a union ironworker. I loved it and sometimes wonder if I made the right choice.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, very cool Richard!! Man, where does the time go? I know a few Union Ironworkers and they enjoy and are very proud of their work, so I think you made the right choice. 👍🙂

[@olivertaylor8788]

Love the old Pete cabovers, saw America from the driver's seat years ago.fine old slow truck,I still miss it today.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Those were the good ol days in a Cabover..... So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@antonelmyler8063]

Beautiful truck, I love cabovers..I learned how to drive and got my class A license in 1984 drive a 1977 cabover Ford with a 350 Detroit. Trucking was still fun back then

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@J.Runk81]

I freakin love cabovers. My grandpa drove one for Carolina freight pulling doubles and triples for many yrs. Thanks for this one Timmy. I still need to get my hands on the old amt Budweiser cabover kit.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thanks for sharing this Tim! I always forget about this show. I definitely plan on attending next year. This provides a lot of inspiration for us model truck guys. Cab overs are always a treat to see. My dad drove them back in the 90s and I have fond memories of going on runs with him.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool memories to have Chris!! I think you would really enjoy MATS as it has/offers something for everyone.

[@manzini2004]

For me, who is Brazilian and saw America through TV in the 1980s, cabovers are a reference to a United States from other times.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@daveweed2765]

Trucks like this made me want to be a truckdriver. Not all the flair and show shit but... not the fancy seats and dash but actual working trucks. As long as the AC works and in the winter these old cab em' overs your feet always stay cold. But something to say about driving them safely. Rhe blind side on that passenger side front is a bitch. And those stupid ass spot mirrors on them really ruins the looks. The best cabovers are the ones where the gearshift never moves when you tilt the cab. Less linkage to mess up. He'll I've owned a couple in my time and had "mechanism fuck up the struts letting the cab down too fast. He'll I'm so old I remember what the yellow, red and blue brake valves mean.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Those were the good ol days Dave!

[@daveweed2765]

@@THROTTLEPOWER Yeah they were. They are gone now due to "progress". He'll you give a rookie driver an old cabover, even a show truck, 90 percent could not drive them or even climb over the doghouse and undress in the bunk laying down. Forget cabovers even. Those old conventionals to get in the sleeper half couldn't even fit through the hole. And then just a little bunk? But if you sleep too much you ain't driving enough to make money. Deregulation in the eighties opened the door to what we got now. 48 state apportioned plates, IFTA sticker. CDLs, and PTO with half as much pay and way too much time on the road. But... a Condo and auto tranny and hours upon hours of wait time at a dock to load and unload. Everything used to be more fun, challenging and took actual skill to drive a truck than wat it does now.
