Thanks to all - 1978 Peterbilt 359 passed the DOT test!

Sweet! Have fun on your run!!

 

I believe that's what God created used Volvo's for. Don't be so sure. Lot's of trucks out there. Never know. Check farm auctions. Older Pete's were a hit with farmers. My one farmer friend got a late 80's 379 double bunk, pretty tired at an auction, real cheap. Nobody was bidding on it, and had a Cat motor, still usable. This last fall, I worked at a cranberry marsh loading trailers, and the truck was a, IDK, mid 90's FLD sleeper, that had a LOT of miles, but still wasn't a bad truck, they got it for $7500 bucks.

just sayin'....

 

And wonders never cease.

Congratulations. The little stuff means a bit of quality shop time wrenching on it. Love it.

And old iron has to mark it's territory somewhere. LOL.

 

im newbie on this forum . Whats the difference between a 359 and the rest of the tractors.? Trying to learn from the experts thank you .

 

I'm no expert, but the truck in my avatar, was a '72 359 "small window". It was the last year for the smaller windshields, ( '67-'72) although, some small window '73's were just leftover '72's, and in '87, they came out with the 379 , although, I think you could get a '87 359, but they were leftover '86's. The 389 replaced the 379 in 2007.
