peterbilt 359????

just build one. i seen a couple 359's done that way and they looked really nice. a friend of mine did a w9 and it made a world of difference in his truck.

 

thats the thing ii hate about 359's i had to modify the steering column because my legs are long but my hands are not long enough to hold the steering wheel comfortably

 

I am 6'4, but my problem is I have a 40" in seam, the uni 379 did ok, so i put a seat plate in and moved the seat back 3", that made it better. If you want room for long legs, go sit in a kw, I was extremely happy with my 379 until I drove my w9, I dont think I would ever go back to a 379.

 

I hear you on the leg room I drive a w900 day cab, at 6'3" it sucks if I put my size 12 on the floor against the seat base, my toe is on the fuel peddle

 

Drove a 1985 Pete 359 last year. The drivers seat was just a jump seat. If I wanted leg room I had to slide the seat back all the way, which wasn't that far and I was scrunched up to the dash still. The other option was I could lean the seat back, but if I did that I had to scoot the seat forward one notch which made leg room even less. Not that comfortable truck out there but it looks good.

 

I hear ya! Try 6'4" with size 14's! It aint fun trying to drive all cramped up in a day cab W900b. Would really like to try one of Kw's extended daycabs. I dont like the look of the back of the cab but the extra room would be nice.

 

the only thing that makes the 359 seem worse then the 379 is that the floor on a 359 runs up at an angle to the firewall at the pedals where as the 379 floor is flat all the way to the firewall.

you can get the sleper ring from a flat top sleeper 379 and put it in the 359 and it will open up the hole enough to let you move the seat back into the sleeper some.

or buy a unibilt 379
