1978 Peterbilt 359, 3408 Cat, 325" Wheelbase

This video is a picture history of a restoration of a 1978 359 Peterbilt, bought from a scrap yard. Powered by a 3408 Cat, 8 cylinder, 450 HP from factory, tuned to 600 HP. It features a 2 stick 5X4 Spicer transmission, stretched to a 325" wheelbase. This was an amazing project done in the owner's driveway, in the good weather. When the truck was completed, he drove it hauling flatbed trailers for a few years or so, then sold it. When it was sold, he started his next restoration project..... another 359 Pete! http://www.smart-trucking.com/peterbilt-359.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're a truck driver, or interested in becoming a truck driver, be sure to subscribe to our Smart Trucking Channel for tips and advice which may be useful in your trucking career.
