This 1980 Peterbilt 352 was converted into an enclosed four-car transporter in the early 1980s by Concept Transporters of Lawrence, Kansas. The rear cargo area features wood-plank flooring with recessed tie-down tracks, aluminum upper decking, a Warn electric winch, and a hydraulic rear lift-gate ramp. Living quarters located in the forward section of the box incorporate a rollover sofa, a portable air conditioner, a microwave, a Samsung TV, and a wet bath. The truck is finished in red over tan upholstery and is powered by a 14.6-liter Caterpillar 3406 turbodiesel inline-six that was overhauled in 2023, and the turbocharger was replaced in 2022. The engine is linked to an Eaton Fuller 10-speed manual transmission, a locking inter-axle differential, and a 4.33:1 final gear ratio. Equipment includes Peterbilt Air Trac air suspension, a cab-mounted wind deflector and air horns, an observation roof platform with collapsible railings, a Larsen Sails paddock awning, and polished storage lockers. This Peterbilt 352 transporter is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with spare parts, service records, and a Washington title in the owner’s name.
The cab-over-engine body and aluminum hauler box are finished in red with polished lower storage boxes. The cab features a roof-mounted wind deflector and air horns, and the hauler has a diamond-plate observation deck with folding tubular safety railings. Discoloration from previously installed “Ferrari of Los Gatos” lettering is visible on the cab doors.
The 24.5″ wheels are mounted with Falken front and Goodyear rear tires. The chassis is equipped with an air suspension system and air brakes.
The hauling compartment is accessed via a drop-down hydraulic extension ramp with an electric lift, and the liftgate ramp features diamond-plate decking, ramp extensions, and ground rollers. A right-side entry door also provides access to the cargo area, which is lined with wood plank flooring and has recessed L-track tie-down rails.
Four cars can be accommodated on two levels of storage. A Warn XT40 electric winch is attached to the floor at the front. The kei truck pictured in the gallery is not included in the sale.
An open apartment at the front of the hauling compartment contains a wall-mounted rollover sofa and a bathroom with a privacy curtain, a gravity-flush toilet, and a shower enclosure with a handheld shower head. A DeLonghi Pinguino portable air-conditioning unit is mounted on the front wall along with a Sharp microwave oven and a Samsung flat-screen TV.
The front seats feature dual armrests and lap belts, and they are trimmed in tan vinyl. Black carpeting lines the floor and engine doghouse surround. A Cobra SoundTracker 40-channel CB radio and a Kenwood CD receiver with Bluetooth are mounted in the upholstered overhead along with a pair of map lights and speakers on both sides of the cabin above the doors. Additional equipment includes woodgrain dashboard and console trim, a passenger-side lower curb-view peep window, reading lamps, and a 12-volt lighter outlet.
The IMMI VIP Vanish-series steering wheel fronts woodgrain dash panels housing a Stewart-Warner 80-mph speedometer and 3,500-rpm tachometer in addition to a series of supplementary readouts, including an engine-idle shutdown timer, a pyrometer, and an ammeter. The odometer shows 183k miles, less than 1k of which were added under current ownership.
A sleeping platform is positioned behind the seats.
The 14.6-liter Caterpillar 3406 turbodiesel inline-six was rated at 380 horsepower when new. An in-frame overhaul of the engine was performed in 2023, and the turbocharger and fuel transfer pump were replaced in 2022. A service record shown in the gallery suggests that the engine has been replaced at some point under prior ownership.
Power is sent to the tandem rear dually drive axles through an Eaton Fuller 10-speed manual transmission, a locking inter-axle differential, and a 4.33:1 final gear ratio.
The truck is accompanied by a canopy with storage bags.
The Washington title lists the Model as “SPCS” and Body Style as “Motorhome”.
