85snowdog Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Regardless of the make, I think that is one cool truck. I like the etching on the side glass.

220cummins Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Same here bulldog through and through but this is a super clean truck. The owner's brother ordered this truck new and made it his "show" truck with no expense spared and chrome everything and I mean everything. The owner keeps this truck in great shape and mechanically and cosmetically.

gearhead204 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 looks great! I found it strange that this truck was ordered to be a dump and not have high mount exhaust Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35635-in-the-shop-now-1995-peterbilt-379-triaxle/#findComment-251362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 looks great! I found it strange that this truck was ordered to be a dump and not have high mount exhaustThanks! I know the truck was custom spec'd by the owner in '95 and it was his show truck for 5 years, which from what I've been told he was paid by Peterbilt to showcase the truck at various shows all over the country. How true that is is beyond me. Like I said before there was pin stripping and chrome everywhere, like pin stripes under the front fenders and on the the engine and frame. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35635-in-the-shop-now-1995-peterbilt-379-triaxle/#findComment-251508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
