Peterbilt 379 Offered

Every time I read a sentence I run out of breath. He means it has hood over the engine. Where have you been? It is not a cabover! Try some punctuation. Petes that old need new bushings on the hood and
usually wear between the rear of the hood and cowl.I'd well a truck with 420K on it because the warranty is good til 500K. Can be costly and you don't get as good a writeoff over 4 yr.

We ate Momma!
We ate, Momma! See the difference?

 

good question ... i think he's talking about the long nose hood that's the only appeal to that truck? is the looks not it's functionality. might be wrong who knows

 

Does he want to just swap you the Pete for the Freightliner?

 

Non-Aerodynamic is what he means I'm sure.
Pete with a N14...?? If I was in a situation to "trade even" I would trade, that Pete will hold it's value better IMO. If you get it make sure you share pics.

 

I could be wrong but I don't think you guys read his post completely. His friend has a 379 there is no mention of if it is a extended hood or not. The poster has a freghtliner classic that is just sitting in his yard not being used. His question is should he trade his classic for the 379 or atleast that is what I read

 

The term "Hood" doesn't mean that its not a COE. When was the last time you saw a new cab over? "Hood" refers to EXHD 379/389 or a W-9, Freightshaker Classic, etc... Many new trucks have sloped hoods that you can't even see from the drivers seat, a "hood" has a big hood that some guys think makes them a super trucker.

 

I hate to tell you these trucks are still going in the $60,000s in many cases. I've recently priced 4 or 5 2003s with my exact specs. All were over. $60,000. I got mine for $38,000 over a year ago and I did quite well on that. Course mine has a 6NZ but still. If you can find me Petes with my specs for $25,000...CALL ME! I'll buy all of them! lol

I should say $60,000s asking price but I seriously doubt they will go for $25,000.

I like all the "super trucker" comments from all the haters cuz they don't have one.

 

Anything with a factory Cat motor will draw a premium since obviously you can't get one anymore, but the N14 motor is a good one too. Hood truck with Caterpillar is going to be premium+ money. Add another "+" if it's pre-emissions.

 

I would let somebody else spend their money on a truck that will cost you $10,000 more in fuel each year. Its ALL about money and profit. Run what you have and save your money.

 

I don't care what kind of price anyone posts on a 379. If it's been rode hard and put up wet like the one Hurst looked at it ain't gonna sell for squat. $25K would be overpriced for that unit which probably doesn't even have papers on the alleged inframe. That will be $20,000 right out the gates. I'd like to know who is out there really paying some of the high prices I see on equipment. $60,000 for a Pete with a 6NZ that's 13 years old, you gotta be kidding me? It must be pristine. I've got what I thought was a fair price on my trailer right now and only have offers below what I'm asking. And mine is priced a couple even several thousand cheaper than similar trailers I see in truckpaper. So I have to ask who is paying these inflated prices for equipment cause they sure haven't been calling me. Maybe when I post it in truckpaper my phone will blow up. Not gonna hold my breath. And for the record a hood is big and square. Like a Classic, W9, or 379. VNL's, Centuries, and T600's don't qualify as real hoods. LoL
