After driving 45years. We had all sorts of Peterbilt and KWs. Had little window 359s. 70 to 72s. Got a brand new 75 359. 1693TA. 13sp. 411 truck no power steering. A 77 with a 93 13sp. With power steering. My 359. 78 with a 3406 PC motor 13sp 433. No power steering. Then we got the best one's. A 79 359 with a KTA 526. 15spd 411s. That truck had all the goodies. PS. Air conditioning power windows. Etc. Those were all small bunk trucks. Then we got a custom built big bunk Pete. A 79 379XHD. 3408 15spd 390s. The best part was the Double Eagle 60 in sleeper with a 255 in wheelbase. Had sneak around at first seeing how it was only legal to be 55ft overall. We were like 59 60ft with a 40ft trailer. You would have been in heaven with the trucks we used to have. Throw in some Brockways. Since we lived in New York. A bunch of Pete and KW cabovers. LIFE WAS WICKED GREAT. ! 😎🇺🇸

The pouch most likely goes on the “driver side “ door. All your bills of laden could easily be retrieved just standing on the ground and reaching up. My cab over Pete had a pouch like it. Back in 1976. Yes I’m an old fart. After 27 years on the road I hung up my stuff and retired. I enjoy your videos cause it brings back memories of the good ole days. Plus I really enjoy listening to you and James ripping each other’s ass over a cold beer. Makes me smile.

Cool old Pete, had a customer back in the early 90's with a long nose Pete no sleeper heavy haul rig with 3408 which he claimed 500+hp. We set him up with an RTO 15613 with auxiliary counter shaft driven oil pump and cooler which dumped oil on main box drive gears and auxiliary overdrive gears. Cured his issue of melting down over drive gears in auxiliary section and lowering over all trans temps, engine put out impressive torque.

The 88 377 and 94 379EXD I owned both had them, and we have a 07 335 mechanics truck now in our shop that has them. I wonder if that pipe you pulled out was a piston wrist pin? This truck will be a beaut when restored! Anyway, I'm sitting on my patio, watching videos and drinking some frosty cold snacks in one of your koozies🍻🍻

Those vip wheels were actually made in France by Lecarra that made wheels for Ferrari and other high end sports cars. They were first offered to the big truck market in the USA in the mid to late 70s and were all 22" when still most trucks were manual steering but as trucks progressed into power steering the large wheel was no longer needed and the ratio slowed the steering response. But peterbilt still installed them as an upgrade on power steering trucks till the end of the 359 run. On a side note vip did produce some 20" wooded wheels at a later point but I'm not sure on the dates of these.

I think you should feel better about this purchase, it's a cool truck with a little history and rarity that gives it good conversation and likeability. I think you should do a light restoration on it, this truck is going to take to much work to restore it all the way so buy the stuff that's missing to return it to original, fix the seats, shine up the paint that's already on it and get it road worthy, or at least short distance drivability.

Yes, excellent review of a time gone by. I worked on many of these older trucks albeit the KTA's and just like cars folks drove them without thought of their future value. One didn't own a KTA or 3408 unless you had premium loads as they cost a small fortune to maintain. At 3-4 MPG, fuel prices and high maintenance cost put an end to their OTR use very quickly by the early 80’s.
