    Believe it or not I bet it’s factory. The door at the rear rumor is kinda like the last 359 were all numbered deal. When in fact there was no rhyme or reason to the numbered trucks or how they were decided etc. Or best I can tell. The rear right door is sure the premium though.

    Playing fleet mechanic has bit my rear again friend talked me into working on his 2000 hummer let’s just say Im less pissed at Peterbilt engineers at the moment. The 379 saga continues my local Pete dealer seems to have problems getting parts to me. Nice to see @Cattleman84 check in.

    Not looking to argue…but…the sleeper door upholstery is blue, the little bit of the cab interior visible is blue, and the rest of the sleeper is lighter colored, and not a 359 upholstery pattern.

    I will say I didn’t notice that the roof upholstery is a later pattern,

    On that note though my black truck is a 91 and has the 359 style upholstery from the factory. Also a factory stand up.


    My brown truck also a 91 stand up has the style in the bunk of that truck in question.

    from what little we see of the cab they are 2 different styles and I agree that ain’t right exactly. But the door on the right front can be a factory stand up. The door on the right rear is extremely rare. Now all that said I always thought a stand up on a 359 is ghey as semen on a mustache………

    78327209683__536FF0E6-2163-404B-9EC6-29D8ABE25D56.jpeg Yep exactly on Hwy 277 heading North of Bronte. I just had never seen a stand up sleeper on a 359 before, been seeing that truck for years, so I finally stopped and took pictures of it! No one was around to ask about it or if it was for sale. I agree with Woreout, I only like flattops! Both my 359's and my W900L are flattops! Here is my '82 359 that is in my avatar. Just got out of the paint booth and got big holed. In the process of swapping the Cummins Big Cam 2 400 for a 3406B. I will update when it is completed.

    The kids are doing pretty good. They are too young to really understand, the hardest part is when they come out to my place and ask when Mom is coming "home"... they are with her most of the time, but I get them almost every time I'm home on a day they don't have school.
