Ok although Peterbilt retired the 379 truck they introduce the 389 for 2008 which is the same truck with new technology. like the same old long nose that we love but with new headlight mirror brackets and others.
This isnt the greatest pic i would suggest going to there website for the complete info and specs.
Nice to see they came to there senses Considering the father to this truck made many owner-ops dreams.
Retired the Pete 379 but brought the new verision 389

I personally like the mirrors mounted on the door instead of the cab. When sight-side backing I open the drivers door to move the mirror where I can get the best view of the back of the trailer. I find that easier than playing with the switch on the dash.

The solution: Give it some throttle and slip the clutch gently, so your mirrors are clear and you're not doing 20 mph backwards.
BTW, the 389 I saw (at MATS last year) had the aerodynamic style mirrors from the 387. -
I hate the new headlights....yuck!!

personally, the best look for a 379 is quad rounds on some drop brackets, IMHO... -
It goes without saying that fuctionality takes priority over looks. I guess I just love the older styles.

359 style double round on JJ hangers - coooolll!!!!!!

We found that out at Stevens when we switched to T2000's from T600's. A lot of drivers were afraid the single round headlamps on the T2 wouldn't be as good as the 4 lamps on the T6. As we all found out, the single round lamps on the T2 were far superior. -
Just can't get past the headlights. can you say ... International! then again I'm a purist. I have never liked the ultra cab either
