COE’s aren’t as popular as working trucks in North America — the Europe they are, they have cutting edge COE technology, but I’ve read that the reason they use COEs over there is because of length limits. In North America the main criticism is the “first on the scene of an accident complaint.” Well, you’d never want to be that, but with COE’s like the one pictured above, you might want to be first one on the scene of a classic custom big rigs show.
I do a lot of web searching to try to find out where these photos come from, but sometimes they come up with nothing … absolutely nothing. This is one of those cases. Some of the most impressing photos of big rigs and custom sleepers and custom RVs are mere photos floating around. Hopefully someone on our social media shares can identify this one at least.
It’s a Peterbilt 352 cabover.
These trucks are very rare. It’s not just because they aren’t popular to use. It’s because they were produced usually with big horsepower engines. Most of these big engines were cannibalized in the 1980’s — maybe before the “classic”-ness of these trucks was recognized.
Well, truckers and enthusiasts, can you identify this custom semi tractor?
UPDATE: Some information from Scott Schwanger, who said the truck burned to the ground almost 10 years ago…long gone…Electrical fire….
And Cory Manthei said that the real truck isn’t chopped and it burned up in an electrical fire. It was the first castrol make over truck that chrome shop mafia did. Cory Manthei added the same thing.
