Basic Questions about Peterbilt 389

Mine started out as an 883 but I did a 1200 conversion on it with some Andrews N4 cams.

 

Dad has just over 2mil on his too and wrecked it last week. His first accident at 69 yrs old...... We will put her back together, letting him drive my 359 until then.

 

Yeah, I'm torn between one of the new 389s and just staying in mine. I will be getting more of the gliders but putting drivers in them, but when it come to myself I just haven't been able to make myself do it. Something comforting about riding around in a paid for rig.
Have you posted pics of the 359?
Sucks that he had a wreck, guess since he is in the 359 he wasn't hurt.

 

That's the 359 in my profile. I'm the same about a paid for truck been driving my ol International. It's easier to turn.

 

nice had to blow it up on the iPhone to see it. It stinks when you start having to wear these little reading glasses.

 

Lol

Lol no worries, saw where an old friend that I hadn't seen in a while popped in and had to say hello.
You will get used to the long hood, and if it makes you more carefull that is a good thing... The 389's like the 379's and the 359's before them are beautiful machines and in my opinion you will not find a better ride. (Sure someone will blast me about that) maybe one that gets in tight places a little easier but not a better overall ride.

 

Yeah I've got mine on too

 

Strollinruss, nice rig!
I am mid 40's and have to have a comfy car. Nothing like driving a Mercedes the way it handles, comfortable seating and the way it handles. Benz's hold the road like a magnet but rides like a caddy.

 

billings pete built mine, but fitz does enuf of them they outta be fast!

next one will havhe a real sleeper.....to bad they don't make the ultra anymore!
love the looks of my flat top with 14' tall, 8" pipes but it sucks to live in after a few days
