I was pleasantly surprised when you opened the door and it wasn't an automatic transmission. Great looking truck. I still like the look of the W900L Kenworth too.
Fascinating that some truck models hardly not changed their outer appearence for decades, and still sells well, while car companies needs to come up with new designs all the time to keep sales going;) But hey, why change something that works, I'm all in.
Rimrock 300 I have just watched a youtube video of a guy recovering a 1977 Peterbilt. That's 42 years ago.The external look of the truck seems hardly to have changed. Still has the aerodynamics of a brick but never mind. I suppose they go with the saying 'If it ain't broke don't fix it". Here's the link if you want to see the old lady being fired up after 18 years. ua-cam.com/video/EIz5SuUO6Kc/v-deo.html
You really need to look to tell the difference over the last 35 years even the older ones as driving by they all have the same look 80-90-2000-and up are all the same older ones you need to look at hoods and door handels and windshields to seperate the years
+Rimrock300: You gotta be a die hard fan to drive old stuff like this. Their new offerings are far superior in every way compared to this. Check out that 1930's style clutch pedal. The front end tends to wash out in the rain. Same dashboard since 2006. These 389's are for fanboys only.
@@TeeroyHammermill Yeah, I would think so. Personally I think a older/cheaper version of this one would be fine for a show / hobby truck, but for a daily driver I guess most would go for a more modern higher comfort truck)
I’m only 15 but my dad has been driving trucks for about 30 years now (he’s 54) and I would always get in the truck as a kid and now I plan on getting into trucking. He’s worked for mscarriers, knight transportation, heartland and now works for Kroger driving trucks. He’s done a few other jobs but I can’t think of the names. As a kid I was always fascinated about semi trucks and now cause of my age I can go on the road with him.
Haven't seen your video's in a while. You always showcase gorgeous tractors. I'm no trucker however I'd be proud owning & driving a rig made by your company. Only downside is drive-thru-s. God Bless
Thank you for making this truck when my site was better I could see this color And now it's on a 389 Peterbilt that's even better thank you for making it
I am Korean and I live in Korea. It is hard to see because Do not sell this type of truck in Korea. And I do not like trucks like the Scania R or Volvo FH being sold in Korea. Thank you for uploading this cool video.
peterbilt is the real truck . i use to admire European truck like mercedes .man. Volvo. but petebilt specially the 379 is nothing closer. durability. comfort and charm. oh the engine sound! mate. i said it Porsche for sport toyota for desert peterbilt for hauling don't take any notice
What's your thoughts on a 18 speed Eaton Ultra shift plus, automated transmission. I'm hearing they're getting better all the time and are gaining in popularity?
The video is very good ... Congratulations! I am from Brazil and I love American trucks alias Everything in the U.S. is well made I am facinado by the American culture ... like my friend👍
This wheelbase is just right I think the ones those guys stretch to rediculas lengths looks like crap like a cab at the end of a pogo stick I guess there compensating but they get rediculas nice truck
Does it come in righthand drive? would love to have one of these trucks in Australia, that mandarin orange paint finish is beautiful with the chrome finishes. Amazing Truck :)
Peterbilt Steve that would be a nice Truck to lease on to Ghorley Trucking as long as it's got a Cummins X15 in it. Good looking ride, do you guy's paint to so it could have a Gun metal gray added to it.
Filter assembly is $695, labor and small parts to finish the conversion I ASSUME will be another $700 or so. The lines obviously wont align the same and I think there is one more hose on the PACCAR than the Davco so you need to install a tee to the return. Next time we do one in my shop I will document and video what it takes.
Peterbilt Steve so basically 3 years of just fuel filter changes outside of normal oil changes, if a man kept the truck longer than that it might pay off to retrofit it, I couldn’t justify the cost over the life span of how long I would run the truck, maybe I’ll make sure my next new ride has it from factory, thank you for the information and response 👍
We bought a 5 axle tanker 3 yrs ago and over 300 k milles on it never an issue. Our shop swears by them. Not sure bout cost tho but that info is easy to get thru your local shops,
Love how this truck looks. New company just put me in a brand new 2019 389 heavy haul with that x15 but says 100 year anniversary edition. It is my first truck with disc brakes and I too thought well dot won't be able to hit me for brakes at least.
@mofa komrade sure. I see where you're coming from. This is meant to be a truck, not a Bentley. Also, trucks are meant to be sturdy and extremely durable. Most truckers here hate the new trucks because of their plastic like design and reliability. Cabovers went out of style as well because they had problems such as aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, comfortability, and roughness in ride. That's why conventional trucks became the dominant standard here. European truck design makes sense in Europe because of the road system having tight curvy narrow roads. American trucks with conventional cabs were designed for long distance driving. Both are built for different road systems and terrains.
@mofa komrade I also prefer that classic look of peterbuilts, freight liners, Mack's, Kensworths, western star trucks, and Internationals. I'm not into the looks of European lorries in general. I like conventional cabs more especially American conventional cabs because of their cool design. It's all perference. Of course there's many good looking European trucks like DAF, MAN, and Ivecco.
The Kenworth W900 VIT is still nicer. I do like the Pete low-leaf air ride, but the 8-bag KW still provides the best overall ride, particularly with very heavy loads.
Have u gotten any feedback on ur 579's that u have sold with the x15 performance motors as far as mpg? Its a complicated question to answer, but just curious if u have heard back on any of them.
How much down payment would I need for a good payment. If I wanna get a 17 in 2020. With credit at 700. Do you guys get financed trucks basically trade in for one of these. I have a 2015 Pete 579 fully loaded with lights 20 inch bumper but looking towards getting one of these to do out of state
@@SteveCarbone would love to see peterbuilt back in action in australia hauling triples 40fts but i'm not sure what sort of specs would be changed aside from long range tanks. also i noticed you guys still use cb?! australia's been using UHF for 15+ years but that might be for more long distance.
Nice set-up looks good and the Davco filter system is the kicker way to go 4Sure no more hard prime-up after replacing the filter and the 1000 mile change crap...what's happening to your buddy,...aka life is good, youtube , man that guy just can't make up his mind at his age what to do, Come-On. just sold his kicker PETE 389 ???
There honestly has not been any of any consistency to be on the lookout for anything. A few little things here and there but not much to even talk about.
It may not look modern but its a damned good looking truck. Newer modern looking trucks are not really that striking. But to each his own. Some like it some don't it all comes down to personal taste I guess.
I have an auto restriction. Is it much of a hassle to get one in automatic? And I know I know prefer one in manual. My pickup is manual...but for now I'm restricted. Let's keep them trolling to a minimum folks lol

It does not get better than that! Lots of power, stopping power, great look, not overdone, and nice interior.

I love the classic look! I can't drive anything but a classic look Peterbuilt.
Sima Zhao love the old school peterbilt.
Agreed
Sima but sadly they don’t make the COEs(cab over engine)(models 352 and 362 for example) anymore
Classic beauty upgraded with new technology. . . . Absolutely gorgeous.
Dude! It's sick! I love peterbilts look! Gorgeous rig!
Phil Duclos the old school peterbilt.
Kudos to your detail department. They do an awesome job!
Rusty we need more people like you in the industry
🤔
Why would this video get a thumbs down?
Good job as always Steve.
💪🇺🇸💪
Ford Richard because they are jealous Volvo drivers.
I would love to see some videos when it's just getting dark out so we can really get a good look at the lights.
Thank you for making this truck when my site was better I could see this color
And now it's on a 389 Peterbilt that's even better thank you for making it
Thank you sir, hope all is well!
Yeah, I’m a Volvo fanboy.
But this truck is practically new. Yet looks like circa 1970’s in my opinion.
That is the appeal.
1st thing to go would be the ashtray and lighter in the bunk.
Theres a lot of truck drivers that smoke, I think it's great they have them to accommodate for the smokers.
@@imawatermelon1439 Is it wise? To smoke?
Currently attending Universal technical institute for diesel technology and I hope I get into the peterbilt program. These trucks are awesome!

That X-15 is the best ! I have it and I really enjoy it.
I can't help but wonder, after pulling the trigger on something this big, what's a little more to get the aluminum 5th wheel. Cleaner.
1k but you dont want it if you swap trailers often
Nice color on that awesome looking machine.
I think so too!
That’s a nice truck especially with the Cummins diesel motor in it.
I didn't knew they still made those 389!
ford agriculture there are driver's out there who like the old school peterbilt.
Peterbilt steve by definition, beautiful, well equipped trucks, enough said,pull toy here.
I appreciate that David
What do you think about the Scania R730?
The video is very good ... Congratulations! I am from Brazil and I love American trucks alias Everything in the U.S. is well made I am facinado by the American culture ... like my friend👍
Love these old school trucks. Yet they are completely new haha
Hey Steve just a question can you do a full cabinet package in a flattop? And the ultra cab overhead storage in a flat top as well
As Always Beautiful Trucks Thank Mr Steve!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet ride💯Timeless design👌👌
Don’t see as many videos from you, Steve. Still moving Pete’s?
Peter build 57 waw inspirational and my dream truck 👆🏽♥️😘
Thank you
How much would a truck like this set you back?
How much of a cost savings would it be with 1850 tq, 13 speed, and skipping the HD driveline and a much shorter wheelbase?
Interior starts @ 8:12
Thank
That's one sweet Pete.
Love the rig, don't like the DEF and emissions though.
ok
About time lol. Thanks for the beautiful truck tour
This wheelbase is just right I think the ones those guys stretch to rediculas lengths looks like crap like a cab at the end of a pogo stick I guess there compensating but they get rediculas nice truck
Hello, steve could provide any information about the goverment program that help owner operators get new trucks when they own a old semi?
Does it come in righthand drive? would love to have one of these trucks in Australia, that mandarin orange paint finish is beautiful with the chrome finishes. Amazing Truck :)
Just take one with lefthand steering. You'll get alot of double-takes rolling down the road 😁😁
im on the market for a peterbilt, just cat deside if i should get a cat pre def or just get a newer with the cummins isx
Peterbilt Steve that would be a nice Truck to lease on to Ghorley Trucking as long as it's got a Cummins X15 in it. Good looking ride, do you guy's paint to so it could have a Gun metal gray added to it.
Agreed, I bet we see a few of my rides in his fleet by this time next year....
Love it Bruv, happy for ya, gopd luck 🤗
What is the cost for switching over to a davco filter on a 2018 ?
Filter assembly is $695, labor and small parts to finish the conversion I ASSUME will be another $700 or so. The lines obviously wont align the same and I think there is one more hose on the PACCAR than the Davco so you need to install a tee to the return. Next time we do one in my shop I will document and video what it takes.

Nice truck! Makes me want to get my license back.
Can I have your truck
Sick ! Nice video Steve!
I love these trucks but I would never get one. I can't imagine trying to get in a door. Some of the places I deliver are extremely tight.
yeah this set up is not for everyone
No prob 4 a REAL TRK DRIVER!!!!
What’s the extra cost for rear disc brakes? And would driving down dusty dirt roads cause any issues?
Jorge Fuentes I drive a log truck here PNW and I’ve had no problems with disc brakes. They run them truck and trailer. I’ll never go back to drums.
We bought a 5 axle tanker 3 yrs ago and over 300 k milles on it never an issue.
Our shop swears by them. Not sure bout cost tho but that info is easy to get thru your local shops,

steve can you opp out of having the navgo screen taken out of the dash an have a complete gauges instead? thank you sir.
Yes, he has done a couple of trucks with real gauges.
Beautiful truck, another nice one you guys upgraded
Nice to see u back
You need to get peterbuilt to start using a stainless cb antenna bracket. How do get a good ground if it's painted? Nice truck tho.
Hey Steve how long is the factory warranty?
Lol Peterbilt is pretty much the only manly looking truck left on the market
The dash looks way better than Volvo,
Agreed
Gdog Keep’em Rolling @
We can’t compare the dash of a Pete and Volvo ..
Pete is Pete
I'm not a fan of how the scania sounds tho. I'm more of a Cummins and Caterpillar engine type guy. I love the Detroit diesel 8v71 engines too.

I have but keep in mind without the aero package the mpg on that style of truck is barely better than a 389. i am hearing 6.4-6.6
@@SteveCarbone the aero package being plastic fenders over the tanks basically?
Interesting, and thankyou.
Suspension on the new Pete’s will never be the same.
Same as what?
Nice beautiful truck
Can you still get a double bunk in a 389 with a 78" sleeper
Yes
This is the only look of a Peterbilt should be.😎
How much down payment would I need for a good payment. If I wanna get a 17 in 2020. With credit at 700. Do you guys get financed trucks basically trade in for one of these. I have a 2015 Pete 579 fully loaded with lights 20 inch bumper but looking towards getting one of these to do out of state
Do you get many trucks with the dinette in the sleeper?
If I had a dollar for every time he said “Uhh”, I’d could pay cash for that one!
Hey Steve, any chance you can do a comparison, pros/cons video on the 389 and 567 daycab?
I have never had a 567 day cab but will if I do
Beautiful truck and color is awesome
can you get kw style am/fm antenna in top of cab . that would really clean up mirrors
Is it possible to put a full functioning dual exhaust like the 389 long hood on a 389 short hood?
Didn’t hear you say it but what’s the ticket (asking price)?
Rollin Dub seen other comment said 170
Jesus “Rollin House”. No home time for you hahahahahahaha!!! Dedicated runs only, that way u know that payment will get made each month🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Rollin Dub lol fr either that or give em a arm and a leg
Nice looking rig.
For first time buyers is to much down??
Adrian Alonso he said he has programs because when I’m 18 I’ll give it a shot at a new one or used if not I’ll bid at r&b auctions for one
Steve are you selling trucks with wooden steering wheels or not? I really love those. Much more comfy than a leather one.
