    That, my friend is one of the nicest 359's I've seen in a long time. I like the extra grill bars, and chrome train horns. I just loved those older style paint jobs on the hood. I see you run your wipers up agin the window divider. I did that too. Some guys like them down. Hey, where's the 5th wheel? Semi "retired" for sure. Thanks pal.

    509.jpg This is how I found the ol girl after setting in barn for 12 yrs.. The main reason for buying was the interior. Dash not modified and every thing all there. Only replaced carpet on floor and door bottoms. Only got a good 15K+ into it but do all work myself.

    Hey beemer, this is really creepy. I think I know who bought that truck brand new, or one just like it. It was blue, with painted tanks, Cat motor, and single round headlights, flat top 63", garbage can bonnets. He is from Wisc. and I see Mich. on the door, so it could very well be your truck.Do you know any history on it?

    Got it from the second owner. Have the Peterbilt identification and warrantee plate. Was sold to a David G. Lijewskie of Rogers City Mi. by De?ody Truck Sales. Can't find the dealer tag I took off it. Was from Battle Creek or Grand Rapids Mi.

    Wow, I know my friends truck was bought from Peterbilt of Wisc. but it sure sounds like your truck was a Mich. truck from new. You can understand my surprise, though. It was an absolute twin to this truck. Thanks man. Looks sharp.
