    Is there any major differences in a Peterbuilt 330 and a Kenworth T300. I purchased a used T300 and the seat is on some sort of suspension and with the seat all the way back, it had rubbed through the interior lining and even into the vertical supports for the exterior skin. I had to fabricate a new bracket, rivet it in and then filled the cavity with spray foam. Plus it had rubbed the cloth off the back of the seat cover. Previous driver must have been long legged with a big belly. I seen a Pete 330 advertised, that's why I am asking.

    Looks basically. They are both built in the same factory on the same assembly line.

    PACCAR locked the works out of the factory in Quebec Canada so neither one is being made at the present time

    So are parts interchangeable? Does one hold higher value than the other? Are the interiors the same? Any extras one would have over the other one?

    Well both are paccar products which means quality and higher resale. Both have similar build quality. I'm not sure of being able to interchange parts. Some can be, but I'm not sure to what extent. The seat thing I'm pretty sure you can swap, doors maybe, or you used to.
