Not sure I have seen a Peterbilt cabover with a sleeper....were they common in the 1970's?


Where I lived as a kid growing up was about 150 miles south of the Kenworth plant, and they used to OWN the market here in the PDX/Salem area.

Cabovers were decidedly in the minority here.

Oh yeah! The Pete 352 was VERY popular, in fact, I would guess that it was slightly more popular than Kenworth's K100. Great driving position, super comfortable, and monster bunks. The green one looks like it's running a 66" bunk; they were common with up to an 84'!

I liked the last two the best but they all look a little too dark for my taste.

Good eye @tirediron The blue one is '78 and has a fresh restoration. The green one is a '74 in working condition that came out here to Reno from Cleveland for the ATHS convention.

The double bunk on the blue one can reportedly contain three occupants comfortably. Hey, it was the '70s.

Thank you for the feedback, I have consistent trouble with brightness. Especially when posted against this big white background. Prints, too..

Here's a few more I'm working on if anybody has a yay or nay or any comments. Thanks again.

I like the first one. I also like the last three, but I'd check the WB synch between them. If you're using Lr, one thing you can do to bring out a little more detail is to bump your exposure on these about third to a half stop, then go to your tone curve, and drag the top right pin down just a bit to limit the highlights, and drag the bottom left pin up just a tad to limit the black. Then set a mild S curve.
