Walk-Around Look At A Short Hood Peterbilt 359 -- Truckin' For Kids 2024

I don't have any of the particulars of this truck (year, owner, etc.), but it was seen at the Truckin' For Kids Truck Show in Irwindale, California on April 28th, 2024. Please 👍. Thank you, enjoy.

The 359 is notably for many reasons one of them being the only model to come OEM factory having 3 different hood lengths or B.B.C. measurements ;. Short 117 " Standard 119" and Long ( extended ) 127".

[@espeescotty]

Good info for the viewers. 👍 I didn't know the actual numbers. With just 2-inches between the short and standard hood, I'm not sure if I know exactly which one this truck is. It just looked short to me and I went with it. 🤠👍

@@jasonvanderwal6247 Well, '73-'87. Pre-'73, they had the really cool small window square-door cabs. That OG Peterbilt cool look.

This was a really cool 359 that John Murray had for sale. Saddest thing though. The gentleman that bought got in an accident taking home. Car pulled out in front of him if I remember right. Totalled, didn't even get half way home.

[@espeescotty]

Wait.... this rig was taken out after TFK!?

[@claytonscheiber3493]

@espeescotty yep. Middle of May it happened. Car pulled out in front him.

[@espeescotty]

@@claytonscheiber3493 Damn...that totally sucks! R.I.P. old gal.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Nice ride but looked like it had a sleeper at one time or someone was thinking about it. Happy week, Pal and staycool!

[@espeescotty]

Yes, I noticed that panel at the rear that didn't match the paint of the cab. I hope the rest of your week is a fine one. 🤠👍

@@espeescotty Chugging along as you are. We do what we do! Happy day to you, Pal!

[@short-fuse]

That was a buddy’s truck. He just sold it.

[@espeescotty]

Another commenter said this truck was wrecked just after the new buyer bought it. He said that it was wiped out before he even got it home. Is that true?

[@short-fuse]

@@espeescotty Yes that is true. New owner on the way home after buying it got in a wreck.

[@espeescotty]

@@short-fuse Damn 😢 Any hope of a rebuild?
