Reminds me of Stewie

That truck was far ahead of its time

Regardless of the audio issues, it was a great video and he has a great story to tell.

he sa old school driver he school and knows what to do,I use my Jake brake too it saves your regular braking sytem

🙌🙌

I haven't seen one of these football helmet cab overs in a long time, great find👍

WOW🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 i've seen a whole buch of different types of cabover semi trucks but i never in my life seen a cabover semi truck like this one before😯😯😯😯😯😯😯

Thank you for your service Larry. I was just leaving Peterbilt in 1991 when the 372 was being put in service, I always liked this oddball rig and hoped for a better future.

Bruuuuuh $24 back in the day per hour!! That guy was pimpin’! Wow can you imagine? Listening to this man talk I was just smiling. I’ve never seen this truck before. Crazy but man it’s beautiful… I know there’s lots of old school brands of trucks, many I don’t know but as a kid growing up in the 80s I loved kenworths and Pete’s… especially the long noses! But the cab overs were so special! When I got into ems though, I worked some nasty crashes involving cab overs.

Did he actually say that he can't function without a jake brake, and that real truckers use the jake ?
Real truckers know that there is a time and place for the jake, and that doesn't include stop light
to stop light in town. They also know not to rely on it, especially on steep grades, because it's a
mechanical device, and it can fail...

Unusual looking truck, I like it though,, and an interesting guy to listen to aswell,👏🇮🇪

Neat story

Just for information. Only 362 and 362E cabover Peterbilts were sold in South Africa. There was only one 372 running in this country. It was brought in secondhand and not fully legal as it was a grey import. But the 372 was just so damn cool.

The 372 did not replace the 362. The 362 was still in production into the early 2000’s. The 372 was a Peterbilt concoction that turned out to be a huge flop. They only made that truck for about 5 years or so, and Peterbilt finally killed the production because nobody bought them. One of the ugliest trucks ever made.

Still rollin down the road earning a living in my ex Harley Davidson 372 . They sent 20 of them to auction in 1997 in PA. Two dealers bought 10 each . The dealer took my 362 in trade on it . They were all leased to Harley by Penske.

there is still one of those, with the big bunk, running around here in southeast Idaho. Been here since new, i checked it out 30 years ago.

In the 90's I worked for a company on Long Island NY. All they ran was 362's and 372's and maybe a few 52's. They had the most amazing drive train I've ever seen. I don't remember the engine's but they had 411 rears with big rubber on them and a Fuller ten speed that I've never seen anywhere else. The shift pattern was actually a U and not a zig-zag. Every single load that we took out to the west coast was tipping the scales at 80K. These trucks pulled on hills like no other truck I've ever driven. Whoever spec'd them was a genius. You could also do 80MPH on snow pack and feel secure. Really amazing trucks.

That is a really cool truck. Looks so fun to drive. I enjoyed this one!

Impressive

1997 Baltimore, I drive 372 Peterbilt, company have couple 372 trucks, green color.

Great history and information for generations now to enjoy.

$24 an hour in 1968 is absolutely insane. That's $222 in today's money.

Thats one ugly truck

None of these were sold in Europe.
