Back in April 1985 My Dad placed an order for 50 359's, of which 4 were powered with 3408 Cats and coupled with Spicer SST 6/1241 Transmissions. The other 46 were 3406B Cats with the Same Transmissions. Today 36 are still run Dedicated Turns, with over 5.5 Million miles on them. You maintain them right. They will last a long time.

When I was with Peck Packing in the 70's I was put in a new 359 with a test engine...a 3408. My team partner and I were headed to Miami with 42,000 of meat. When headed up Monteagle, at 60 mph, everyone we passed made a comment on the CB that it must be nice running empty up the hill. We pulled over at the break check area and opened our trailer doors to prove we were not empty! This was 1975/76-ish. Several drivers are their words that night...

Fred sold it to another driver and when he died, he gave the truck back to one of Fred's sons and he's resorting it. Currently all it lacks is stripping and a repaint. Awesome truck with so many stories and so glad it is back home where it belongs.

When I stumbled across this video, I was like OMG!!! This took me back to my early teens in 1980. My dad passed away in 1976, he drove for Interstate for 27 years and all I wanted to be was a truck driver. In 1980, a neighbor bought a brand new bright white 359 specifically with a Cat engine like this one; minus all the stainless and full fenders on the rear wheels, but still tastefully dressed. He specifically ordered the Cat because he hauled sand, rock, etc out of quarries; similar to this one hauling coal out of Kentucky... This video brought back some amazing memories!

I drove a company Pete 359 in the 80’s that had a 3408 with a 6x4 air shift brownie here in Alaska going up and down the Haul Road. The same company who’s owner believed in Power! He had a couple of trucks with the 3408, more with the Silver 92’s that were uncorked, one with a KTA900 that he home built that did horrible things to the frame and rear axles and had intentions of using a 3412 in a project that didn’t happen. There were a few independents with 12V92’s and 3412’s that were feared here! Those were the days!

Always loved these big CAT's and what they could do. The industry didn't do itself many favors, however. Deregulation didn't help either. Sent a lot of guys packing. The rest of us tried picking up the slack. Glad I'm out now. It'll NEVER be what it was. This truck is stunning, especially for all the love put into it. And 6 mph?!! Wow!! But running like he did? Those loads, at $6-7 fuel with all those plastic fantastic battery operated crappers? No thanks. Gimmie a man's truck or none at all. Good luck all, and God bless!

Sounds like a great guy to have a conversation with. Interesting that it doesn’t have a Brakesaver, that’s the first thing I noticed. I wonder how many Petes or KWs had the 3408 in North America. Over here in Australia the Kenworth factory made 31 with the 3408 but we don’t get Peterbilt unless they are imported. Most of our 3408s in Australia were Ingersall Rand air start and most had the Brakesaver. Like he said, you can get good fuel mileage but you’ve got to know how to drive them properly. They are an O/O truck. There’s still a few working every day in Australia, not just show trucks.

Here in the US, Caterpillar marketed and registered the 3408 with the EPA under "automotive" use (over-the-road) for model years 1976-1985. There were a sizable amount of Kenworth W900As, K100s, Peterbilt 359s, 352Hs, and a couple 362s with 3408s. A good guy by the name of Cam Lavin (quite prevalent on the American Trucking Historical Society (ATHS) facebook group has dug through tons of build records and the latest Peterbilt with a factory 3408 he's come across was a 359 with a build date of May 28, 1985; roughly 10-11 months into the model year. It's extremely unlikely that Mr. Harry's truck came factory with a 3408. It must have been a glider kit as the Custom Build dash plate was only a thing on those. You could apparently order a 503 hp 3408B over-the-counter from Cat for 1986 and possibly 1987, but there's no evidence here to differentiate if Mr. Harry's is the typical 450 hp 3408 DITA or a B model. Now, all this doesn't detract from the fact that finding a good running 3408 these days (especially one this clean) is a massive treat.

Years ago there was a truck pull up in bath ny and on the way there we passed a dump bucket with a pete dragging it. He was pulling the hill out of Hammondsport and he was barking pretty good. Turns out he pulled in the fair. He had a 3408 under the hood. When he dropped the bucket they used a railroad tie to keep it from sinking into the ground. So he was loaded. Another truck that showed up was a heavy haul out of NY. They specially made that truck to pull heavy loads. That one had the 3412 in it. But the pete with the 3408 won it. He knew how to get the power to the ground. But they are rare, so it's nice to see this guy with his one of a kind original still on the road.

Farwell to ages gone. What a beautiful large car. In my career of 34 yrs of driving, I drove most the incarnations of the 3406 in COEs. I always pined to work with 3408.

Damn. I definitely missed my calling. That’s a beautiful truck. My dad (rest his soul) was a truck driver. He drove a little bit of everything. Log truck, flatbed, gasoline tanker, etc. Last thing he did was a transport bus driver for the Department of Corrections in Washington state before he retired at 72 back in 2010. I got to ride with him in the mid 80s when he drove tanker. I was fascinated with how he did everything. He was good at what he did. Sure miss those days.

19:58 I enjoy safely driving 'The Gorge' on I-40 in my Shelby GT500KR, so that's a testament to Harry's Peterbilt in performance because that's tough for trucks to move nimbly through there. Exit 7 near the NC/TN line is 'Harmon's Den' Rd. and that is some of the most beautiful stretches of windy mountain road interstate in the country.

Years ago, I had a friend named Frank Toth who had a 49 ? needle nose Pete with a 3408. Being a master diesel mechanic having worked in it since the 80s I’ve only ever seen two trucks on the road with that big ass cat V8 in them. This was in the early 90s and Frank’s trucks was one of the first ones I remember seeing with twin 6 inch stacks on it. It looks like a freight train coming down the road. Just like Mr. Harry’s.
