One of you guys spotted in one of my posts. Interesting driving it.

Thanks for the close-up, looks to be in great shape. The one I drove had a 400 Big Cam Cummins and a 13 speed, lots of get up and go.
 
Drove one for a guy on wheat harvest one year. It was the flat top sleeper though. Had 350 Cat with a 9 spd on 3.55's He said it would not pull out of the field with his doubles. We talked about options. I told him one was to go to a 15speed direct. That would get his low gear down to about a 16:1 in place of his about 10:1
 
Fellow in a shop was jacking one of them up so I could work on the alternator and one of the hoses to a cab cylinder busted. Cab went over 90 degrees. Had to make up a hose and get it back up to normal working position. Everything the guy had in the sleeper filled the windshield up!!
 
I drove A white K100 like that. Series 60 with a 10 speed. I almost jackknifed it on I69 in Indiana on black Ice one time. Guy behind me said he could read the side of the trailer.
 
Nice truck, looks like you'd have an impressive view of the road way up in the cab. Front row seat.
 
Those 9 speeds are about useless for pulling anything of actual weight unless you've got 400 plus to run it. Even then I think they should keep them on a truck 80,000 and under. Buddy had a couple 9 speeds as his yard trucks or hay duty trucks. I had the top end of his 13 speed Pete apart at the time, and he wondered if I would pull a load of wheat to the elevator for him, with one of his hay trucks. This thing had a 350 Cummins in it, 9 speed, and a pretty tall rear end ratio. The lead loaded with wheat wasn't real heavy, I think I went over the scales at 120,000, but it sure worked that poor little truck to death getting it there. Couldn't run it in 9th unless you were going downhill. 9 speeds belong in straight trucks and light freight trucks in my opinion.
 
That's a pretty clean truck it appears. I've got to go take a look at a Pete cabover a guy I know has, wants to sell. Never felt right to me driving a cabover. And never cared for the noise and heat of setting on top of the engine. I can't imagine one with a Detroit in it!

Yup, 13 up to 18 for doing any real work.

I have run a few cab overs with 318 or 350 detroits & a 13 speed.

Not real fast with 100 up to 160k either.

They were a bit noisy but always got the job done.
