Stumbling Across A 1972 Peterbilt 352 On Our Travels!

[@douglaskinder9385]

Cabovers are still great at working at this day

[@timwelihan5851]

That's a really original condition old Pete. Right down to the slit rim budd wheels. It'd be a great truck for antique truck shows. But not so good for working it in this day and age. I use to drive those old cabovers back in the day and it was a workout (chuckle) , they'd beat the snot out you, you'd freeze in the winter and bake in the summer. You'd climb in the bunk take off your jeans to catch some sleep and all the change in your pockets would fall out on the mattress. The good old days. But when you stopped at a truck stop you'd see real truck drivers in there. And we all had a mutual respect for each other. Yes I'm a old bastard but I survived it all with no regrets, and glad I did it. Your dad probably knows what I'm talking about.

[@fire48pw]

And a good time was had by all, Including me😂👍👍

[@jimjim753]

Cheers🍻

[@PhatSlicks]

The 92 series didn't come out until 1974, so unless there was an engine swap at some point, this would more likely be the 71 series. Cool truck. It's too bad cabovers went away in North America. 352/362, K100, and CLT9000's were sweet looking rigs.

[@79tazman]

They are making a comeback I know some guys bringing them COE's out of retirement and putting them back to work.

[@79tazman]

Yeah what I seen of it it's a 71 not a 93 and you are right the 71 would of been factory in them trucks

[@Parker343]

Great day when ol' Trucks post.

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Just the 2 fold down Cowboy Hat racks on the ceiling of that Pete, made it worth the trip. lol! But seriously, your Dad's a trip. So few get to do what you two just did, even less Fathers, and sons. Sleeping in the bunk, of moving cabover is such a treat. lol! And you lived to tell the tale.

[@bgreasy6318]

exactly, i was going to comment about the hat racks! so cool

[@WillChandlerFLD120]

Yeah definitely cool

[@wannabefulltimers]

Dam I love cabovers.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

FRICKIN great seeing you and your dad laughing and smiling great memories your making...

[@kenburns4802]

It’s nice to see the love of each other way to go guys

[@jimdooner4375]

You know the old saying when you have a Detroit and you pull up and fuel up! Check the fuel and fill up the oil ! LOL . Had a 318 Detroit in a 1973 C30A cab over cornbinder with a 10 speed roadranger single axle , 2:26 pulled for North American Van Lines new products division out of Fort Wayne Indiana

[@jonathansparks3386]

I love that pretty black Mack cabover

[@billb6121]

Love to hear your Dad talk. Really miss Philly, and he brings back so many memories. Wish I could spend time with my Dad, as he moved on four years ago. Make time.. You never get it back..

[@timbullins6852]

And I am Dam glad that driver in the cab over KW didn't fall out of the truck when they made that turn off the road 10/4😅

[@iain3411]

Really nice you can work with your dad. Makes for awesome times and memories. String with cups . . . Hahahah

[@JorgeMartinez-wr6oz]

Nice 352 . Just drive it like you’re mad at it and she’ll be happy. Don’t baby it.

[@JrFlexing909]

Down memory lane. Never would see this in person or the movie shots too. What a view. Best road trip.

[@davidkenworthy7548]

Looked for you all over Macungie, wanted to meet my first celebrity & get a sticker, hooked up with your Dad & got a sticker & air freshener, meet you next time

[@larrybrown7273]

[@timbullins6852]

Man you need to do all you can with your Dad because you will really miss him when he is gone 10/4😊

[@jacksak]

It's great to hear you with so much humor and happiness.

[@richreinhart7181]

I think I read that the white Brockway wasn't supposed to flip. over. but they kept it in the movie, and that truck stop in Joplin is pretty cool

[@duanehunsaker]

I think I've seen all of your clips and have yet to know your name. And one more thing, I graduated high school in Strafford Mo. Like your NYC trips. Keep on truckin brother

[@zoyW3301]

That Peterbilt was sick! Keep up the videos! 👍

[@LuvThe350Niner-Garth]

Best KZbin video I've watched in a while. Glad you and your Dad had a ball. Would love to do a similar trip one day when I visit the US. Keep on trucking from down in Aus.

[@eharris6347]

Lol That’s the face … I just bought it !! 😀😀😀

[@TKOZLIKT]

wassup joe. thats cool the relationship you have with your father. its a great bond. I know you'll cherish those memories forever. Im liking that peterbilt cabover and that cabover freightliner i seen in the background was dope too. anyways stay safe brother.

[@thythethy9590]

Looks Sick!

[@JamesFeldman-xb5iz]

Thank God you stayed up right at that intersection and kept the hammer side up and the wheels down on the road.

[@anthonygreener3843]

Them were pretty good !! 👍

[@rogerhobday8369]

Love to see that peterbuilt receive some TLC and working, they pull hard and can do it all and all night.

[@smittysmitty4681]

Yep my thoughts exactly we only live once With that being said the Family and I have planned a weekend turnaround trip at the end if the month from Phoenix to California to hit the beach and escape the heat for a couple days 👍

[@madtack]

Great video series! Trip of a lifetime right there!

[@Baconcomix]

That Peterbilt would be helpful to park in tight places in new York

[@WillChandlerFLD120]

I knew drivers in the 80s that would quit before they went back to new York. Slow car in front Obamas children in the trailer unloading the thing at10 miles per hr.😅pick up trucks with one standing on hood tossing to another riding in pick up bed. They'd fill 4 pick ups in 10 minutes. That's if you were lucky most time They'd just jack your truck at gunpoint. In a city where guns are illegal. Prison time illegal if caught and police would shake a sleeper down looking for one. He'll on earth.

[@jackspringer9283]

There's a difference between rubbing and grinding! Use your fingertips to feel the gears speed rubbing , throttle up and down to determine if the road speed is compatible with the hole you're trying, you'd figure it out in a few hours,.. during preflight bring the rpms up about 1500 and watch/learn/feel how little pedal is needed for 300 rpm rise and fall .. you got to reprogram your brain foot connection!! 2 cycle Detroit's are a different kind of beast LoL!!

[@79tazman]

That is a cool ride that's for sure it even has the old school AC up on the roof does it have power steering and Jakes?

[@timbullins6852]

When I was a kid I would take my Dad's 72 diamond Rio for ride when he was gone it had a 318 Detroit with a 13 speed oh yeah😅

[@mikebougher3731]

That pete was definitely original even had the split buds all the way around it looked like.

[@WillChandlerFLD120]

Those 70s stunt drivers were the best ive ever seen. power sliding 18 wheelers 😅 no CGI crap.

[@jairomedina4321]

Man you guys are lucky to be able to drive old cabovers. Regulations here in CA suck

[@peterselten500]

Hi joe so how much did it cost to get let off hope he didnt hold a auction an happy to see you didnt end up like spider mike . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@ss454nova4]

Great content guys. Just a question could you put a more modern engine and work that cabover. Why don't more people do that.

[@cyrusumberger5285]

Never trust the door latch on a 352 Pete!!😜

[@timbullins6852]

Yeah man I would give anything to have done that with my Dad 😊

[@carldrexler7883]

Did you walk around the yard and Pu all the gears you dropped?

[@carlray7224]

Just drive it like you stole it when it comes to those V8 GM's. Flat change between 1800 and 2100rpm and throw a blanket over the headlights so it can't see the hills comin' up. And better really like changin' gears 'cause it's never ending. The Cummins guys don't realise how easy they've got it by comparison. Well edited video and enjoyed.

[@briannielsen2168]

Yeah, you gotta slam you’re hand in the door before you drive it

[@jackspringer9283]

Those string phones were originally made with empty tin cans, we called them tin can telephones, the string was never mentioned cause everyone knows telephones require phone lines or string pulled tight..😮

[@lucastrainverse8618]

It would look great with a wind deflecting cap!

[@jimjamess8633]

Cab over Pete with a Detroit. Can’t go wrong. I know of a 69 Long nose Pete with sleeper, powered by, yup, you guessed it, a 8v71. Sitting and rotting away😢. It’s not that far from you either. I had it running a couple years back. He wants me to get it started again, so I’m going to be charging the batteries and give her a try. “ OH” it’s defiantly a man’s truck! No power steering!😩 she’s a workout in tight spots.

[@bucklenutz4806]

How did you upload this when we were at work?

[@100016]

Would you know how tall the mack mh is?

[@leehickmott9783]

Can't go wrong with a Detroit, fill the oil check the fuel and your good to go, Armstrong steering good ole 352. That would be a fantastic project.

[@Jdigger4130]

Bitchin fellas! Hittin the 4 way.. Sharkies short cut... so cool. That ya said "cherries n berries"... GREAT JOB MEN!!!!

[@truckingwithwillie4577]

You gotta drive them ol 2cycle Detroits like you steal it and wine them out

[@cantwellron11]

CHEERS

[@IanKellar]

Convoy was the biggest thing in my life as an 8yo - why am I still watching Peterbilt cab-overs at 50?.

[@Only4Trucks]

Because they are as cool now as they were then! Thank you for watching!!!

[@jazzsoul60]

Center point steering.

[@lesterturner8346]

That’s a truck to keep

[@davidkenworthy7548]

Tell Dad to get the check book out

[@duanehunsaker]

Now I know it's Joe!

[@franco24ist]

if he's interested he should buy it and give it a newer life it has your guys name in it

[@carldrexler7883]

Buy it nothing like the sound of a 8v Detroit 71 or 92

[@Will-ct9ww]

Joe when you drive a Detroit you have to wind er up

[@timbullins6852]

Had to be a man to drive one like that 10/4😅

[@lucidrain9469]

that was ashamed ol girl wrecked that Brockway in Convoy-

[@ruxoneto6560]

Engine looks like 8v-71t

[@butterfinger1171]

Theres a picture on the web of that triuck and its owner lee aycock

[@davidkenworthy7548]

You gotta wind those Detroits out

[@doherty2jz845]

what engine is in the mack?

[@GWHauling-yp7dd]

Mack 350

[@hankhill3263]

Thats an 8v71 detroit, not an 8v92

[@scottp.4122]

Thats 45 mins from my house

[@79tazman]

That be a 8V71 the 8V92 is computerized and the 71's are all mechanical. the 71 series would of came factory in that truck for 1973

[@robertknoll8439]

👍🏻C'mon...😎

[@scottp.4122]

Them old detroits are a slam your hand in the door and drive like u was going too a fire

[@williambroadston2642]

[@JorgeMartinez-wr6oz]
