I'm still partial to the 359 and 379... nothing beats a classic.
clasin doesnt turn well and the sleeper not as big and comfy as 379
my aunt bought her first truck a1954 pete in 1955 the a new one every two years after drove till she was 82 years old passed this world 96 years young
Old Truckers Never Die They Just Get A New Peterbilt
Or Kenworth
Who can afford a new peterbilt ?
Nah they get a new kw900l
I like and love both Peterbilt 281 (1954-76) and Peterbilt 379 (1987-2007) equally so much all the time a lot.
I don’t know what to do I can’t get enough of these videos.
My Late Dad had owned a 1953 Peterbilt Truck that was built in Oakland California and later on a 1965 Peterbilt that was built in Newark California
A salesman for Peterbilt has said that the 389 isn't going anywhere. I guess time will tell.
they would be stupid to get rid of the long hoods, all the slope hood trucks look like helmets. i dont know a single driver that likes helmet trucks!
Ive heard sales were higher than ever for 389's
Union Pacific Fan I’ll fight for the 389 truck
@@UnionPacificFan
As long as that truck is selling Peterbilt would be dumb to get rid of it.
I love the 359’s because of the outside Elbow for the air filters! Also a big fan of the 351 and 379... The 389’s are nice but just hate the new headlights they tried to put on them, other than that PeterBilt 359 will remain my favorite to this day!!
We are big 359 style headlight fans here too. Don’t like the newer curved style headlights to be honest.
Jack's Chrome Shop Yessuhh!! 359’s are definitely a charm and rare to see these days now...
@@TT-zm8np Yeah, Thanks EPA! they should deal more with people who throw CRT TV into the landfill! Well taken care CAT 3406/Cummins 400 BC/ 2 Stroke Diesel Diesel are just as clean as that new Paccar MX-14 that has been suffocated with DPF crap.
The Best Documentary on THE BEST TRUCKS EVER MADE..... PERIOD!!
Love this episode! The 389 is my favorite model.
My all time favorite Pete is the 351. It has that classic needle nose look and classic Peterbilt style.
Top post! 👍
Forgot to mention the 377 of how it was the first aerodynamic truck by Peterbilt
T600 was the first aerodynamic truck, then freightliner came out with one then pete,then everyone followed along 👍
B- trucker i know I said “First aerodynamic Truck BY Peterbilt” not first aerodynamic truck of all time.
@@danielaguirre2516 K you get one like cause you being good😁👍
I took my road test in a 377. They were pretty ugly compared to the 379 but i think the cabs were pretty similar. the 377 must have started in the late 80's and ended in the early 90's I am guessing
@@mattcrowell7945 I think the first model year for the 377 was 1987, last year was 2000. The 120" bbc 385 kept the design going from that point until it was phased out completely in the mid-2000s and the 386 replaced it.
Good history video!
Most interesting.
Great video!
This trucks are only real love on my life i never ever walk away from them 👍
Just gorgeous
You guys are literally the only ones who claims it's ending. I've talked to several dealers, and none of them have heard a word of this.
Yes this is a great live
Peterbilt along with Kenworth are by far among my most favorite Rigs on the road! I love all Peterbilt Rigs but I'll have to say the Peterbilt Model 359, 379, and 389 are my most favorite models. Paccar Motors owns Peterbilt and Kenworth and they are all great rigs! Love my Macks, Freightliners, Western Stars, and Internationals too however. The Peterbilt 359, 379, and 389 as well as the Kenworth W900, W900A, W900B, W900L, and Icon 900 are the models that you can paint almost any color and put as many customizations as possible and they still look great! Love these trucks! Thanks for sharing another awesome history clip of my favorites! 🇺🇸🚛
Peterbilt needs to continue building the Model 389 and Kenworth needs to continue building the W900L!!
On the street where I used to Judo as a kid and it close to the movie theatre I go to, the landmarks on it I always remember are a dog food factory and a Peterbuilt mechanics garage.
Bird!! I always saw a long horn bull!!😯
The model 359 is the Perfection of old school trucks then the new technology with computers came along
Hey we would love to see a history video for Marmons
I think it was the 586 or 587 I drove from CA to NJ back and forth 3 or 4 times when I first got my CDL with CR England. Will have to call my trainer to confirm. lol
In 1972 I remember reading an article in Overdrive magazine about the current model Petes, and how the company worked with buyers to provide custom outfitted interiors. Seems to me that back then they were running around $125K.
I deliver to the paccar facility in Columbus Mississippi all the time
Leading in engine development
In the early days, DAF installed Hercules and Perkins petrol and diesel engines, but in 1957 the Eindhoven company designed and began manufacturing the first DAF-branded engines. Two years later, DAF improved the DD575 diesel engine by adding a turbo charger which was another ground-breaking achievement. DAF introduced turbo intercooling as an industry-first in 1973. The technology was initially developed to meet the demand for higher engine outputs and lower fuel consumption, but also proved to be indispensable in realizing cleaner exhaust emissions. In the 1980s DAF launched ATi, Advanced Turbo Intercooling which provided further power and efficiency gains through a further refinement of injection technology and an optimised shape of the combustion chamber.
In 2005, DAF unveiled the PACCAR MX engine that is now installed in all of DAF’s heavy-duty trucks and over 40% of Kenworth and Peterbilt built trucks. The latest generation MX-13 and MX-11 engines feature extremely efficient down speeded engines, intelligent drive lines and efficient rear axles that result in high torque being available at impressively low engine speeds for unmatched fuel efficiency and the highest driver comfort. Together with advanced vehicle software algorithms, excellent aerodynamics and a new compact after-treatment system, these DAF innovations result in a fuel efficiency gain of an impressive 7%, the largest fuel efficiency gain in the history of the company
Timm L.Carlson my father worked for Pacific Car & Foundry in Renton, Washington Molding the Block Engines of the Peterbilt Truck's
Best brand
Good truck also
Great vid but your sleeper footage for the 359 was incorrect ... what you showed was likely a 379 or later 😏
Haha someone caught that 😂
The 359 model is hands-down the finest big rig ever made
Too bad EPA don't allow those old Peterbilt on the road anymore.
This is a really cool video. Can you do a video on Autocar trucks including the truck form Over The Top? Just asking if it's okay with you.
Yes we will!
COOL! I CAN'T WAIT.
Can we get a history of freightliner cabovers
Sweet video. I think you should have mentioned that some certain models were used in movies such as Joy Ride (2001), The Fast and the Furious (2005) and the class thriller DUEL(1971). If it's okay. Please leave a comment and like so Jacks Chrome Shop can see this. Please and thank you.
P.S. what happened to the models 377 and 378?
Murica 🇺🇸
I'm sad you left out the model 377
Why no 377? I got the 3rd 1987 377 that came into the Sioux City, Ia. Peterbilt dealer. As far as I know it was the 1st Pete that was airo!! How do you skip the 1st airo Pete???
What about the 377 model?
HMMMM. Did you forget the 320. Fire service/ Refuse use mainly.
It's to bad you didn't mention anything about acquisition of DAF trucks in Europe.
The acquisition of DAF Trucks N.V. in 1996 and Leyland Trucks in 1998 established PACCAR as one of the major truck manufacturers in the world. DAF Trucks is a Netherlands-based truck company with production facilities in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and Westerlo, Belgium. Leyland manufactures DAF trucks
yes I wondered why he didn't mention the acquisition by Paccard
Are you going to do a Marmon history per chance
Yes we are!
Missed the 358 and 388
Should have mentioned Duel
👍👍🌍
👍😉
Nobody ever disgusses the 357 model.
I was waiting for that too, i drive one everyday lol
379 is the best model
Forgot The Peterbilt 377 A/E,
What engines did petercar used?
Cat or Cummins
@@klhlynnalso Detroit Diesel and Paccar for the new model(just crap and probably just copy Cummins).
We had a mixture of trucks on my last job. Petes, Prostars ,Cascadias, Visions & I found the Pete to have the worst & least comfortable cab. Small & not driver friendly. The IH on the other hand had the most comfortable cab I ever drove. Don't know what all the hoopla on Pete & KW is
You sir are a communist
I have died an gone to heaven I love them all phantom 379 10/4🔫💪🇺🇸
I think you mean Phantom 309, by Red Sovine.
That was my CB handle cause I drove an owned a 379 peterbuilt so I named my truck that I miss him that's for shore 😔🔫💪🇺🇸
Ah, so now it’s speculated that production of the 389 is ending. Speculated by who? Maybe just you guys?
False Statement for Discontinuing 389
I ordered mine last month 2022 Year Model 389 Custom
Expecting Delivery on Jan 2022
KW
389 2024 I’m I dream still wtf I’m i doing
"Peterbrilt"
How can you have a background rebuilding Jeeps before 1939 when the Jeep wasn't produced until 1941?
Anthony Nelson ....as best I know the first company that built jeep was a small company called American Baatam. Shortly thereafter Willys overland got a contract from the Government and they, along with Ford, under license built Jeeps for the remainder of ww2!.
I’ll bite, what’s with engine makers making transmissions, and twelve speeds. Detroit Diesel tried the same thing, Automated 12 speeds. Volvo did it, Paccar did it, International hasn’t done it.
Great trucks, But this dude has some of his information wrong.
That truck like a bull
Los Peterbilt y Kenworth tienen la peor comodidad para manejar. Cabinas muy reducidas, espacio reducido, están fabricados para personas de 5 pies de estatura únicamente. Alguien que tenga más estatura va a trabajar muy incómodo. Hay que buscar otras marcas para tener espacio suficiente en los pies.
I never liked the coventionals
rŕ
All of that "aero-Dynanic and "Droop Snoot CRAP looks like a BATMOBILE, they have RUINED the LOOKS of those Trucks. I would NOT be caught DEAD in one of them!!! The Square Nose are the only ones with any "looks". People should not deviate from a WINNER. I do NOT like the "square headlights" they are more expensive to replace. And the CAR type steering wheels look awful. I much prefer the Dashboards from the 1970's for easy access. BB
We all have our own opinions. I guess fuel economy doesn’t matter as long as it’s square and aerodynamically inefficient. My dad has a saying…. Opinions are like buttholes. We all have one, and they all stink… yours included.
I rather drive something Peter bilt cause Ken ain't worth anything
Kenworth are okay also but Freightliner ain't worth anything to me. Yeah it's Daimler brand but I prefer the Mercedes-Benz SK Series truck better.
Mack were special because of E9 V8 Engine but nowadays it's just based on a Volvo Engine. Scania is like Swedish version of Peterbilt and they still offered a V8 but I don't know why they didn't enter the US Market. Hino Profia/ Super Dolophin are awesome and very reliable engine due to the fact that they owned by Toyota but they didn't bother make a Semi Truck in America.
And Kamaz? lol Import one from russia.
