<p>[QUOTE="vinijackson, post: 2274530, member: 71550"]For those following the 359/379 mystery assuming, there are any, my hope is that someone reading this may be able to learn from what I find out and not have to ask dumb questions. In September of 2011 I bought what I thought was a 1977 peterbilt 379, to put on the road and start driving for a living when I retire from machining in the next five years. So far I have found that it's either a 359 or 379. I've been told the VIN in the cab 89251N is an invalid number because the N should be a number. The dash on the driver side is not round as you might expect but flat like a 379. I've stripped the frame from cab to bumper both sides no numbers except a few on the bracket holding the springs to the frame. I thought the number would be easy to see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
