VINTAGE Semi Trucks Of The 70s That Everyone Wants Back!

[@grumpymike4790]

Nice video, love the GMC Astros !!👍

[@johnmoore1949]

75 WF cabover with setback front axel? Flat “floor”? This is fake news!

[@MrMopar413]

Wow , I remember all those. I’ll talk about freightliner because I worked at the Portland Swan Island truck plant in the late 70’s. At that time freightliner was divorcing itself from White Trucks as their distributor and started building their own dealership network from the ground up as their contractual relationship came to an end. Freightliner was doing good but not White Trucks. White didn’t have a thing worth a dam. I worked at midline at the portland plant right before the completed chassis’s went into plaint both. Now about the freightliner powerliner ; we built a lot of them and the interior was really nice inside. The main engine of choice was the Caterpillar 3408 that had a hydraulic engine brake system run off the engine flywheel. This system had way more engine braking then any other system available even to today. A main reasons they stopped selling the powerliner with the 3408 was they where going to a setback front axle and the 3408 with its unique engine hydraulic brake was the design of the oil pan that would hit or not clear the front axle and the 3408 didn’t have a conventional Jake brake system or and other systems available so that killed the powerliner and higher fuel costs and other costs in general. We built a lot of them and they were awesome looking.

Good grief! Can't anyone make a video without splatting 'music' over the narration?

[@SyrAudiophile]

I think he got quite a few trucks confused between cabovers & conventionals

[@bengone3349]

Please get your information and details correct!

[@richardrice8076]

2:32 "a sloped hood and a rounded front" WTF it's a cabover. you couldn't find a better Transtar to show?

[@truckersvision]

Thanks for watching. We’re continuously improving, thanks for the feedback.

[@colinl9018]

@@truckersvision You need to improve big time, either shit or get off the pot.

[@kenverrill4205]

I appreciate seeing these cabovers and getting caught in a memory driving them...what I DONT APPRECIATE is these knucklehead wannabe truckers turning these cabovers into good buddy spaceships and calling them "old school"... these modern day twerps have no idea what "old school" was about, hell that can't even spell it! You can't live it, we have...but if you wanna honor "old school", then RESPECTIVELY honor it. I don't care about your low to the ground, good buddy visor looking pooch pocket. REAL MEN drive TRUCKS!!

[@davidhunt6463]

I could not agree more. You're bang on point.

[@clarke8454]

I drove a lot of Astros they had too much windshield when You were driving toward the sun the ac didn't work good and I never drove or saw one with a flat floor. Most of the old cabovers I drove were spring ride suspension short wheelbase that rode rough I am thankful for the trucks of today.

[@dandorneman9840]

Who ever is describing these trucks doesn't know shit from shineola.

[@marlonturner226]

How can you have a long nose and it’s a cab over WOW

[@smiley1949]

Could this "yoyo" pass a drug test & DOT & OSHA, NHTSA driver inspection?? LMAO

[@normanott644]

Drove one of those Freightliners in the 70s called it the Spine Breaker.

[@marshallbaldwin395]

They didn't call them freightshaker for nothing

[@truckersvision]

Thank you for watching! Any specific truck you want us to make a video about?

[@tonyindiana]

Brockway split window? Then not say anything about a Mack with 2 steering wheels and that motor looked like Puss power

[@tonyindiana]

But I liked your video

[@Obamaistoast2012]

R series Mack's we the best, bought a used 69 R600 with a 237turbo straight 5 speed with 1.2 million miles, when I sold it in 2014 it had over 2 million miles on it still running good, the only engine work was at 1.8 mil I replaced pistons,liners, bearings and a valve job, had injectors rebuilt.

[@RedDog9980]

I owned two 352 Peterbilts Guess I was too busy driving to notice that it had an extended hood. I always figured that it was a cabover, my mistake.

[@wyatt12358]

bring back the MARMONS, DIAMOND REOS, DIAMOND T, MACK SUPERLINER, NEEDLE NOSE PETERBILT AND KW, IH 4300, DODGE LONG HORN, FORD AERO MAX, WESTERN STAR 4900, MACK R MODEL, MACK B MODEL FREIGHTLINER FLC

[@russvoight1167]

Freightliner used aluminum from the very start for their cabs. Another bullshit video

[@gregholmes3661]

This guy is full of it, I drove a 74 Tran star and they didn’t have an air ride cab

[@haroldharwell7078]

Hauled logs with a couple different Brockways.

[@mcjogom]

[@russvoight1167]

The Peterbilt 352 was introduced in 1959

[@garybuth801]

THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY WISHES THEY HAD THESE CLASSICS BACK /MAYBE WITH SOME OF THE CREATURE COMFORTS/WITH SIMILAR PRICES/MAYBE THEN DRIVERS COULD MAKE A DOLLAR

[@deborahchesser7375]

Long nose 352 Pacemaker?

[@wesleyreese7647]

An 'Extended Hood' CABOVER?? 🤔🤔

[@vicschierling9946]

Don’t know where you get your info from,better do better research because a lot of wrong info

[@truckersvision]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Which part are you referring to?

[@davidhunt6463]

​@@truckersvisionAt least 50% of it.

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

All cab over’s are tilt cab aren’t they???

[@jeffmcnutt2151]

I thought that was a Jamie Davis truck on the thumbnail

[@JerryWalker-u3p]

A good ride? Why is the trucks that are shown on a stretched frame

[@JakeCline-l3h]

Trans star 1 and 2 were just about the most common cabover on the roads! Please do some research.

[@scottsheehan1596]

i'll take an Autocar ty

[@truckersvision]

Thank you for watching!

[@mikegodette6956]

When the narrator of the video cannot pronounce the word semi truck correctly. You know the rest of the information, it's going to be skewed and not correct.

[@sjgerber]

Dodge Bighorn?

[@andymack5093]

Click Bait Thumb Nail - all cab overs and not all us get excited with wanting those denture rattlers back ....

[@snobak1]

Nothing in there from Hayes or Scotia. Look up those trucks

[@wyatt12358]

bring back WHITE ROAD BOSS

[@ourv9603]

OK, let me ask you this: Why are some of these old brands no longer around? Mack trucks has been around since 1905, Pete-1939, KW 1923 so why are these brands no longer with us? !

[@Obamaistoast2012]

Most of these brands were bought out by the larger companies, Paccar owns most of them including a few European brands.

[@rogerray7820]

Talk about misinformation! This guy got nearly everything wrong!
