Really boosts the road experience knowing there's some dude driving an 18 wheeler with his air ride seat down in the basement and trying to act all gangsta with the lean and just barely able to see over the dash board.

[@kellykremer3642]

Looks TOTALLY STUPID, LIKE THE MORON BEHIND THE WHEEL

[@caseythetrucker]

I don’t think you understand how many guys drive this way.. tell me how many times you’ve seen trucks that look like this involved in crashes…. 🙄🤔

[@hobo1452]

@@caseythetrucker I've got ten years experience driving 18 wheelers as a professional road driver for, at the time, the third largest trucking company in the US. I'm speaking from actual experience, not talking out my backside.

[@caseythetrucker]

@@hobo1452 so you drive for swift and are mad because guys take pride in their ride and drive how they’re comfortable? I’ve got just as many years as you and I drive on the floor and have yet to have an accident or replace a bumper. Let’s compare driving records 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@hobo1452]

@@caseythetrucker The problem with arguing with a fool is that they never know when to stop. You have yourself a good day there, super trucker.

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

[@w900kw2]

Hes not going to buy anything man lol how many has he test drove in the past

[@dieseldabz7104]

Yup fuck that new trucks with their DEF systems

[@calebsimth4562]

New trucks aren’t as reliable as the older iron . No emissions crap and way easier to work on too

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.

[@welcometooyoutubefolks9836]

That Peterbilt 359 was in Waco Texas couple years back at a truck meet!

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Good looking 359 , but that slung back and low seating would drive me up the wall.

[@rayweeks4018]

Agreed.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Not for long haul driving, one of the most comfortable truck's to drive for those 600-800 mile days

[@mattlyle455]

Agreed I'd rather have the regular seating . I'd look like a 10yr old riding on the floor like that plus that's gotta be hard on the back. I'd rather ride high easier to see in my opinion but it could be that I'm too old school lol

[@lockgessner]

I like how all y’all complaining about it have be the sounds of it never driven like that…. It’s comfy af

[@mattlyle455]

@@lockgessner I personally have no desire to drive one set up like that either. Just my opinion

[@josephjones4468]

I'd get a older pre-def truck with a cat motor. If it has high mileage do a in-frame service and it should be good for another million miles plus

[@mikeanderson7206]

My 2000 kw w900l has a 3406e cat with custom heavy haul tune, injectors and turbo. Pulls hard on hills at 80k 52 mph I love it

[@stormyweather9054]

BOVINE LIMOSINE right there . "Nickel 9" (359) long hood dragging a" Wilson " silver star spread axle...nice sled hand . See it got the big hole in sleeper & converted from air windshield wipers to electric ( can tell by the small aluminum washer tank mounted on driver side firewall under hood ). Both VERY smart modifications ...🐂🐂🐂🐂

[@livinglife2408]

Beautiful piece of machinery, but that seating position does not do it for me LOL, how the hell can you see anything it’s beyond me😂😂😂

[@jeremytn1]

Man sitting on the damn floor😂 I love it lol

[@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.

[@addiepi]

That cabover sounds amazing

[@kenmatthews6476]

I’ve been loving long nose trucks since was a kid. I had a race track with all long nose trucks and loved it.

[@J.R.in_WV]

All the old timers I’ve met say if you had deep pockets, a big ego and wanted to go fast back in the golden years of trucking you’d go for a long hood large car with a big yellow kitty under the hood, but behind the scenes the 855 Cummins and 318 Detroit were what really put in the work.

[@dieseldabz7104]

The 359 was such an awesome truck and the 2nd truck I ever drove by age 15 in '95.. The 1st was my father's '70 White-Freightliner COE that we fully restored yrs later. Then I got into the 379/X many years later as a mechanic and after being in the industry my entire life.

[@mikemullay5622]

I bet your buddy Tim can find you one of those if you give him some time to look for one.

[@jaredthisdelle5617]

Man those two rigs seating side by side look killer freaking love the older rigs true trucks in my eyes .

[@dr4963]

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 !

It doesn't have to be a brand new truck for you to feel safe out on the road. I would save $200000. Go get an older pre emissions truck with the size sleeper you need for the family and go through the drive train.

[@dieseldabz7104]

I grew up in trucks like this one and wouldn't have traded it for anything.
