Garage Tour - Engine and Truck Projects

one had originally. Everybody I meet thinks it's a Peterbilt because it's got single headlights on it. Cuz all A models had duals built in. >> So that's what that one out there used to look like. >> That's a '77. That's the one I'm going to put that thousand horsepower V12 in. That's got two transmissions in it. Two sticks. And that's got two sticks in it. Now, this This is a '75 Peterbilt. 1975 Peterbilt. It's got a 1693 TA in it. It's a 352. See, the the 362s they made higher. I wouldn't have a 362 cuz they're too hard to get in and out of. That's got a 1693 TA in it with a 13-speed. That's the number truck. That's number 41. They didn't build but 359 of them. That's number 41. >> What year is that? >> '87. That's a '58 B61 Mack over yonder. Integral sleeper. That's an 80 model cab over.
