@@mutombosays780 did some research here, the exposed air-filter hoses and old hood ornament are pure 359, BUT the windshield wipers that rest horizontally read 379. My guess is that it is a 379 that somebody threw the classic parts at to give it the look of a 359 because it would be much easier to swap air filters than remount windshield wipers.

[@ryanlessner4080]

Where did he go I was wondering the same thing

[@moelll]

The truck that was used in the first fast and furious movie was indeed a late production 359 Pete. Not sure of the year actually, but it was definitely built in the mid-80s. Square headlights was an option for the 359. There's a few ways to tell a 379 apart from a 359 externally IF THEY ARE STOCK. 359s had separate circular turn signal lights mounted on the fender while the turn signals were integrated on the headlight clusters on a 379. Another way to tell them apart is the wipers. 359s had wipers that faces outwards or positioned vertically towards the center. The 379s were more contemporary and both wipers faced to the passenger side. Also the cabs of the 359s were more narrow than on the 379 and the windshield were more vertical than on a 379. Where it starts getting difficult is that owners of 379s purposely make their trucks look "old". They swap out the rectangular headlights for either dual circular headlights or even single circular headlight clusters. Honestly, this makes me want to find a needlenose Pete and slap on 389 headlight clusters just to piss people off. Btw, the 587 is dead. The 579 ultraloft replaced the 587 as peterbilt's high-rise sleeper

RIP Jerry Reed, aka, The Snowman. The Guitar man sure could make ya laugh! But, that was a KW in Smokey and the Bandit. Now that you've mentioned PACCAR, that means you need to do Kenworth, which is both a sister AND a competitor to Peterbilt, and PACCAR which owns the both of them. Then you should do Western Star, the now defunct 'Sterling' brand, White (also discontinued), Navistar-International, and the icon itself, Mack. The truck from Convoy was a Mack RS700L. I actually have seen one of these in person as a self-loading log truck, and it still is in active logging service here in the Pacific Northwest. It makes frequent stops at the DQ where I work in Southern Oregon. While Sterling wasn't a long-haul Class 8 truck, They were very popular for the class 6 and 7 uses, like garbage trucks. Much the same for its twin, the Ford Aeromax, which was a Class 8 Chassis. At the end of their life, when Sterling was owned by Diamler-AG, the Sterling Bullet was built on a Dodge RAM 4500/5500 chassis, making it a very strange looking pickup. The Ford Aeromax, at least, still lives on as a 1/14th scale Tamiya RC Truck, based of the King and Knight Hauler family of RC Trucks from Tamiya. You'll see these scattered across KZbin, but the Ford Aeromax itself is pretty uncommon. I believe you already did a segment on Freightliner, but they are one of two Diamler-owned truck brands in North America - Freightliner has the largest market share of trucks on the road today, and the other brand, Western Star, has the smallest. PACCAR has a pretty significant market share between its two truck brands, at around 15% market share for each Peterbilt and Kenworth. Volvo-owned brands, Volvo and Mack, are near the bottom of the list. The main reason Mack is so low to the ground is they're primarily used for smaller operations, like Dump trucks. The Mack Anthem, at least as far as I'm aware, is the first long-haul bred Mack to come out of the brand since the Pinnacle family of trucks, and the Pinnacles weren't all that popular. The Anthem, on the other hand, is making appearances everywhere. The chip hauling company local to me had a small fleet of Pinnacles, and they've replaced them with Anthem. While the Pinnacle is still built today, the Anthem is by far the favorite that I'm seeing. The Pinnacle also goes by Mack Vision outside of North America, this is evidenced by SCS Software's old truck games from 18 Wheels of Steel Pedal to the Metal thru American Long Haul calling the trucks by the name 'Vision' even though they couldn't use the actual Mack branding, North America didn't know the truck by the Vision name, so it sort of worked since SCS Software is based out of the Czech Republic.

Bet I've driven both, come from a long line of truckers and owner ops. Own my own truck, and it's a 379.

[@chrisw.3000]

@Trucker186 it’s a 359 standard hood. They came with 3 different hoods short hood, standard hood and extended hood. In 85 the square headlights were available as an option. 379’s have blinkers on the corners of their headlights (unless they get the delete plate but one can still tell the difference) and the headlight housings are one piece with the brackets. 359 they are separate. 359 had narrower cab than 379 with windshield whippers that operate by air that go from the center of the windshield out. 379 is like the average car right to left. 359 was the ONLY one to have 3 pleats on the top spine of the hood. 379 & 389 have a single pleat. Along with other little differences. I currently own a 1985 359 Extended Hood and a 2013 389. Hmm, I’m surprised he didn’t talk about the 389. They’re just as popular as the 379. And are now discontinued. Btw my 359 has the square headlights, but I’m gonna change them to the dual round setup

[@dylanguidry7111]

Peterbilt 379 has always been my dream truck and the other slightly smaller one forgot the name. Got it from my dad. He would pick me up in his truck from mom n I loved it. He still truck drives trucks to this day. Gotta get my CDL and get one!..

My buddy and I were at Summit Motorsports Park standing behind Shockwave as he staged his jet engines at Night Under Fire, their biggest NHRA event of the year. The track got too hot and melted the track then shot hot asphalt back in our faces. We ducked behind the sign like most of the others, but one guy was carried away on a stretcher. They now block off the area behind jet trucks as they stage. It was insane, and I took a chunk of the track as a souvenir.

Another fun fact, the manual transmissions these use are what's known as a "dogbox" or unsynchronized transmission. This means we have to match rpm for shifting and shift without the clutch (very few will double clutch to shift). Most manual long haul trucks have 10 gears, but can be equipped with 9 speed, 10 speed, 13 speed, 15 speed, and 18 speed. Also most trucks after 1980ish will automatically input throttle when a stall is occurring. Loaded, 80k lbs, put it in gear and release the clutch and it won't stall!
