Peterbilt 359 EXHD Cold Start & Drive

#Peterbilt359 #PeterbiltAerodyne #Coldstartpeterbilt
1984 extended hood Aerodyne Peterbilt 359 with 400 Cummins Big Cam III. This truck was built to my own specifications and she has indeed been a "Grand Old Dame," providing us with decades of phenomenal service. The truck is equipped with 13 X 4 transmissions, the front transmission being a Fuller RTO 14613 and the auxiliary transmission a Spicer 1241. Both boxes are progressive, giving the truck 52 forward gears and many gearing options for almost any job required. This truck has pulled Turnpike Doubles as well as belly-dump and side-dump on thousands of construction projects throughout Alaska over the years. Complete with Super Severe Service cab, 3/8 frame rails and 44,000 LB Rockwell rear axles, the truck certainly isn't a battleship but she's built like one. In this video the truck is being taken to a hobby farm to go into retirement and be used as a toy hauler. Even at 39 years of age, the truck is an absolute dream to drive. :The raised roof of the sleeper (Coachman Classic 10 Sleeper Conversion) was purchased new and installed in 1995, I actually met the man that created the roof kits. Those kits are now referred to as (Doonan Sleeper kits) and can be found on Facebook. More of our videos www.youtube.com/@AlaskaTrucke... Thanks for watching, and Keep'em Rolling!

Good video. Thank you. Nice to get some details on the truck’s history and build specification. A true Peterbilt, by the sound of it.

You took awesome care of your pride & joy. Still looks great! How many miles total has she traveled? What does the future hold for her ? I think it's sweet that you are the original owner, even more bitchen is that you had it built to your specifications, that makes the truck special to you for sure. I enjoyed the whole video. Thank you, sir.

The truck only has around 500,000 miles but they're all construction miles, very little hiway. We will most likely use the truck as a toy hauler now. Thanks for watching!

[@AlaskaTrucker]

Yes, in another video I will: Thanks for watching!
