    $250k for a new Peterbilt sounds like a terrible idea. Find a pre-emission truck, get it squared away and keep trucking.

    My dad had a 1985 Western Star Gold Star edition with the 3406B Cat engine. It was turned up and putting out close to 500 hp. It had a muffler delete and would pump out the black smoke like no tomorrow and get at best 3 miles to the gallon. I miss those days with him. Every time I hear the sound of an old cat engine at idle or at speed it makes me reminisce on those times together. Thanks for giving me a trip down memory lane.

    Been trucking all my adult life. Bought a brand new 359 with a B model Cat in December of 1984. Ran it border to border and coast to coast for 10 years almost 2 million miles. Then bought a new 379 with a E model Cat….In 2000 bought a 379 with a C-15 550 hp….That one was a certified member of the “Left Lane Gang” ! When Cat stopped making truck motors we lost the….King of the road !

  • @immike1945

    Lots of people saying Bruce should get a 359 here. Sure, they're certainly available. They're also at least 35 years old, with all the problems a 35 year old truck will have. Beat to death, hacked by God knows how many sketchy hands, rotted, twisted, cracked; the list of maladies is endless for the affordable ones. The cost to buy one in the condition this one is in will probably start around $75,000, and could still be hiding expensive problems. I'm all for the old iron; I detest what the dealers are peddling these days. But to think it's just a matter of handing over the cash and BINGO, your 359 is ready to put 100,000 miles on in a year without a problem is foolish. I bought a new Western Star / 3406B in '85, and I worked on that truck virtually every weekend. That was a brand new truck. Add 37 years & 2½ million miles to it and you can imagine the amount of maintenance it'll require. Just be careful and wise.
