Peterbilt 379
Conventionals
Photo by Clint Moore
The 379 carries on the traditional look started by the original Faegols that carried through to Peterbilt 350, the 351, then onto the 359. The 379 is the pinnacle of truck ownership.
379 is available with standard 119" BBC and 127" long aluminum hoods.
379 replaced the 359 beginning in late 1986. The Successors cab is also found on the 378, 357, 385, 386, 330, 335, 340, 377, 376, 375, 365, 367, 388 and 389 models.

'05 379 127" with 70" sleeper with no extenders on the sleeper (lends a different look). Nice classic paint scheme.
|
The classic paint schemes really set a truck apart from the one-color units. A nice stripe scheme looks far better than chrome doo-dads and vinyl graphics. |

Many of the classic looking 379s are
photographed by Clint Moore of Kansas City Peterbilt.
Some of the photos are duplicates from elsewhere on my sites. |
Look closely, the truck is reversed! I snapped this going down I-75 south of Mackinaw City, Michigan in my side mirror.
