Over the last 35 years or so I've driven about all of them from Macks to Pete's. Owned 4 different trucks a 377 Pete, old GMC/Volvo, CH613 Mack, and 379 Pete. The Makc spent more time in the hospital then on the road. The volvo had more electrical problems than were fixable. The Pete's I still have and drive the 379. Would like to get the 377 back on the road under a grain trailer or dump. Both are the best rucks I've owned. Both have cats in them to. The old hill sniffers were just that and fall flat on their face with a gofer hill to go over. Never liked the Cummins with the rubber drive shaft on most of them I drove. The Penske 60 series was still a gutless wonder when I was in one. Running up I77 in WV if you didn't cross the hollows about 75-80 it was dragging up the next hill. Sure was a dragon & fly truck. All had from 9 spds to 18spds with a couple of 2 sticks in a few. One had a 4 spd auto in it. Was nice for NYC or Chicago. Other wise was no big deal. When I bought the Pete I priced a Mack,Volvo,Freight shaker and The Pete the Pete was the cheapest with the most engine and trans. Has 3.55s with the 18and tall 24's specs at triple digit though I have never had it close to that. Both trucks have over a million miles on them. Will probably die with them.
Would like to find for a reasonable price a Pete 359 with the 3408 in it. Probably could not afford to fix it if it ever came to that though.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
