Here’s a couple of custom cabovers for you, from days gone by. They’re Peterbilt 362s, and they were documented in a large collection on Tim’s Trucks about 5 years ago.
The Peterbilt 362 COE came in a number of length cabs. The cabs came in (as the smallest) 54 inch, 63, 76, 82, 90 and (the biggest available from the factory) 110 inch sleepers.
The first picture, the one in the image above, is a 90 inch cab with a drom sleeper on the back. The cab corner exhaust is, as you can see, recessed in this unit. According to Tim, this one was once owned by Barbara Mandrell, the country singer.
Moving along to the images down at the bottom of this page, you’ll find a yellow, white and green custom daycab COE which was one of a fleet of similarly-decorated 362s — both COEs and straight truck — that were run by Magginni Hay. This yellow custom cabover was photographed by Brad Wike. If anyone knows who photographed the grey drom sleeper unit, let us know so we can write that in.
