OTR in 93 Pete 379 3406B?

I saw an old Pete like the one you're considering go through Richie Brothers in Dallas for around 14K. I was kind of wishing I had bought it. Then again I don't need another truck.

Just have to be careful when buying from RB auctions. I've ended up with some projects on my hands from buying used trailers and tractors.

 

Heres that Pete I looked at

 

Look up a group on facebook.... Semi Truck and Trailer... Buy,Sale/Trade... I see some good deals go through there once and a while too.

 

30K is high, but that truck will haul freight just as well as a 140K truck will, and It will be cheaper to insure, cheaper to maintain, easy to work on and look good going down the road. With the 18 speed I would buy it in a heart beat. "if it passed a good hands on inspection"

 

Mine might be for sale by 2020. I’ll take $30k if still interested by then. Also depends if California will grandfathered a single O/O for exemption for the 2010 engine. If so, I will keep it instead.

 

Peterbilts are all I've owned, I bought my first one in 84. If I was happy with my inspection I would pay 30. The value I would place on it would depend on seeing it.

 

I don't think $30K is a bad deal. It really depends on condition. A real nice truck for under 30K is a hard find... It was my price range too. Once I found the right truck I jumped on it. Pre-E Log trucks are more popular now too.

All the old Pete 379's I see for sale are between $20,000-$38,000. I don't see any with the 18 speed though. Most of those are on the east coast and the lower priced ones have the Detroit motor.
