Rescuing a 1977 Peterbuilt 359

That truck is amazing! Kudos to you! The older trucks are the way to go! Wish it was me rescuing the ol'359!

 

I would not have driven it very far at all.It's in need of alot of TLC however it seems to be all there which is really fortunate. Once shes updated with tires, fittings and so on, fresh batteries and whatever else needing work I would be happy to put it to work nationally.

 

When and where??? I hope you get to get it on the road some day (I'm assuming that you have the truck). Best of luck!!

 

Is there are benefit to having a loud jake? It seems like a muffled one is generally more usable everywhere but I haven't had two tractors the same to tell the diff.

Neat old truck, they sound Pennsylvanian.

 

Of course their's a benefit! ... the SOUND!!!

 

Not me. I am dealing with the OP's video presented.

Trucks that sit a while need TLC in a shop before they can be considered ready for the road.

 

If I remember right, being loaded was just as good on that. Being empty wasnt too bad.

I remember going over those looking for bolts and brackets that are breaking.

 

I know that, I'd love to help resurrect that truck!
