Description
1985 Peterbilt 359 classic long-nose sleeper. This truck has been a working truck, not a show truck, but it is mechanically strong and a great foundation for someone looking to build a very clean classic Pete.
The truck is powered by a Caterpillar 3406B mechanical engine that was professionally rebuilt, with less than 100,000 miles on the rebuild. It starts, runs, and drives strong.
The Fuller RTLO-16713 13-speed transmission has also been rebuilt, making this a solid mechanical setup ready to keep working.
The truck has not been in regular hauling service since the end of 2024, but it has been maintained and remains a strong running truck.
Cosmetically the truck could use some attention depending on the buyer’s plans, but it has excellent potential for restoration or continued use as a working truck.
This is a true classic long-nose Peterbilt with a mechanical CAT, a combination that continues to be highly desirable.Specifications
