'79 freightliner cab over coe "the truck it all started with"

[REEVE2007]

Thnaks...one of the ol man's prides. She has at least 1.5 million miles on her. Been pampered quite a bit over the years with new parts so she doesn't have all the originals. My father is a horse power freak and hates being passed on the hill so he had a cummins n14 built up to put out 650 horse and dropped it there. The original tranny was a 13 speed and he changed it to an 18 speed and the rearends couldn't hold up to the power so we put bigger ones in also. She' not only drivable but workable on a day to day basis

I forgot to ask what the short stack on the passenger side is for, is it a Janitrol heater.

This truck use to be a single stack truck. We wanted to make it dual but the cab was recessed for the stack to enable you to have more room for over hang or what not. To fill the void we had a stainless tube tank made. You can put what ever your enjoyment in refreshment is...lol
