The 352 is by far the best looking Cabover in my opinion. You did a awesome job restoring it.

I am 50 now. My dad drove for an equipment company in Palmdale California called Northridge Equipment rental. His truck was an emerald green classic cabover Peterbilt. I would get so excited when I was 9 to 13 years old when I would see that truck parked on the street early morning because I knew whether I was a school day or not, I was going with him. He loved that truck. I love that almost everyone that has one now that they have kept that same pattern. I would get in and I just remember to this day it always smelled of leather, grease, and an extremely hard working man.. Wish I could find one close enough to drive to so at the very least just walk around and just look at and maybe open the door and peek in.. My father was my hero. How he left us and this world was to abrupt and not fair. But I have learned thats exactly how it goes. He passed 4 years ago and every time I got to sit and see him that green Pete would always come up.. Anyhow, Sorry these cabover petes were beautiful and I rarely see the emerald green, but any of them hold a massive gift of a great part of my childhood.. Especially today.. Thank you for sharing. Makes me feel my dad is with me. I was and always will be his eternal copilot..

Absolutely beautiful cabover , nice looking pete .

[@williamkirkland7002]

Cabovers where always my favorite trucks. As a kid growing up in the 60's & 70's; I would build 1/25 scale models from AMT; I built Peterbuilt,Kenworth,Mack,GMc, International conventional and cabovers. My uncle drove for PepsiCola in Tampa Florida and drove a very narrow cabover; it looked like a phone booth on wheels. He hauled Pepsi products to Miami from Tampa Florida.USA 🇺🇸 That Pepsi Rig was approx. 60 Foot Long bumper to bumper. It was a slide door trailer both sides and hauled empty bottles from Miami to Tampa for processing and full bottles of Pepsi from Tampa to Miami for distribution. I road one trip in that long Pepsi truck to Miami and back to Tampa. As a young 12yr old boy I was in trucker heaven. I miss my uncle and those rides in his trucks along the many years of trucking. Thanks Flat Bed Red for taking me along on your truck shows. That black and grey color combo is stunning.

[@christopherstacy9375]

Dang, what a Gorgeous cab over. Wow!

[@steelcity41236]

My Dad owned a Cabover Peterbilt when I was a kid in Ellwood City Pa. He bought it off my Best Friend Grandfather Smitty. I was So exited the day he brought it home. Two tone Green. Me and my brothers called it the Green Machine. One of my Favorite Trucks my Dad drove. My all time favorite he drove was a Candy apple Red Cabover Brockway and I know for a fact it had a Detroit in it cause when he fired that engine up reffed the engine it scared me. But the Cabover Peterbilt was one I can remember and went for plenty of rides in.

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Love the cabovers, i grew up with the old man in a Late 70's Peterbuilt cabover

[@curtisdowling3773]

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤keep it coming …thank you

[@joemac3118]

[@woodfordreserve6673]

Back when Jim Palmer trucking out of Missoula, Montana was an all flatbed fleet, before he went to reefers, I drove his last cab over before he became an all “hood” fleet. It was just like this one, just different colors. This video brought back many good memories of those days. I think if he’d stayed flatbeds, I’d probably still be there. Best boss I ever had.

[@MissFlatbedRed]

Glad to be able to help bring back memories with these videos! ❤️

[@derylsanders307]

Beautiful rig. Such great attention to detail. Very nice

[@glennoliphint8691]

I learned to drive truck in a 1978 Peterbilt Cabover 352 with a 8V92 and a 13 speed. My dad taught me to drive truck in that truck. I have great memories going with my dad. I drove trucks around the yard when i was 12 or 13 years old but i didn't start driving out on the road until about 17 years old and i didn't even have a car license then and he would lay back in the sleeper and get a nap!

[@davidbradley5969]

[@freighthauler7642]

Don't forget, he also has those round thingies on the front that help him see in the dark.

That is just amazing and beautiful! I only drove for 15 years when I was very young, all long/wide/tall/heavy, some with an escort, and/or 2- man 24 hour. About half in a 352. This truck just brought back so many memories. I could sit in a bar and tell stories, mostly funny ones, about our adventures. LOL Congrats on just an awesome build!! Peace --gary, 72 and going semi-strong. LOL 8)

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

Straight up gorgeous!!! I'd love to get a 352 or 362 Pete and throw a 605 Cummins in it. 250wb, 4.11 rears, 18 speed ultrashift, dual vertical air cleaners just like this, 7" dual turnback exhaust, 24.5 wheels with milled out larger holes, low low air leaf rear suspension, disc brakes all around, firewire replacement headlights, and all the chicken lights in LED. Power steering included too.

[@DefendTheStar]

No matching trailer?

[@Mr-MH227]

Perfect Pete 👍

[@marcusgary5558]

Nice!!😮

[@bradrook3919]

Absolutely Beautiful! I drove two different cab overs for a construction company converted from Safeway trucks to ramp trucks longer rails...the Kenworth was a 82' standard cab..but my Baby was the Freightliner with a single sleeper..both 10 speeds...what made them perfect was the fact they had no nose to them...as I had very tight places to get into hauling my little cat dozer..with pintle hitchs on both sometimes used the three axle trailking to export excavators with the dozer...after the owner sold the company I bought the Freightliner its still in the shop and slowly going through a rebuild...I love the cab over...miss seeing them on the roads...

[@toddreinauer4222]

I was able to drive this truck around before Brett bought it. It was an amazing truck to drive. It drove as nice as my ‘22 389 Pete. I think it only had like 545k original miles on it.
