Got a new 352 in December of 1974. 3406TA, 12/5 13speed with 4:33 geared rears on 10:00-22 inch rubber. Loved it, my first new truck bought from OKC Peterbilt.
Good lookin ride. I had a 77 with the NTA420, 13, with 4:11’s and 24.5 high profiles. Right from the factory it would rev to 2500, which tickled the underside of 95 mph. Loved it.
You're the "Lucky Dawg" getting to drive your "Big Dawg", Dane. Love how you've kept the Her mostly original. Many years ago I drove a 1968 Pete COE, Model 351 hauling produce out of California to the mid-west. The then almost new rig had a 318 Detroit with 4x4 trannies. It was a great truck as long as you were on flat ground. My first cross-country experience at the tender age of 23. Wonderful memories of the Pete COE so similar to your gorgeous machine. Looking forward to your future videos. :) PS: The first commercial truck I drove was a 1958 Pete COE, Model 281 (no tilt), with an NH 220 Cummins (175 HP), in front of a 5 speed main box with a 2 speed air shift rear end, and wedge brakes. This was a dual drive (3-axle) tractor with rubber belts that powered the rear (tag) axle. No air seat, no power steering, no Jakes, etc.. The air conditioning was "roll down the windows and go 55 mph". Old school days. :)
Nice truck I’ve got a 362 peterbelt cabover with a 3406b in it and I’ve been working on it from time to time. So keep on trucking and let’s fix am better see ya on the next one have a great day see ya by .
The main reason, as I recall, for changing out those original type shift knobs was the noise! Those things had check balls in them that were plastic I believe and after a bit of wear they would rattle constantly, a kind of buzzing sound that would drive you nuts!
I had owned a '79 Freightliner c.o.e. with my best friend many moons ago. We bought the truck around '81 or '82. The big cam 290 was rebuilt by my friend and his brother who were both certified diesel mechanics before going on the road.It was turned up just a little bit and ran fine. From your other vid on the trucking co., I forgot to mention the I-H conventional cabover CONCO looked strange w/ the cab offset to the driver's side like the old Hayes & Pacific logging trucks. This was because the engines took up the passenger space. If I remember correct- ly, the short nose lifted up, and the cab tilted forward like a c.o.e. for servicing.
Hey Dane Scott what's, up how are, you doing? this Trucker's lingo put that,hammer on the ground and, keep that, hammer 🔨on down I'm Texas bound and a,Flyin 10-4 from Jason,L from RimRock Az.
I absolutely love this truck. Reminds me of one I grew up driving on my uncles farm in the 90s. He had the old Pete out back and I wanted to drive her more than any of the new rigs. lol.... Does yours have the air powered wipers ?
My sleeper is almost the same as yours, I have a 4 inch mattress that’s not confortable and is too narrow, can’t seem to find a mattress that fits the space. I think I’m mine the width is about 33.5 to almost 43 inches by with six long. No one seems to have that size mattress aroyhere
