1984 Peterbilt 359 Classic Semi Truck CAT Diesel

1984 Peterbilt 359 The 1984 Peterbilt 359 is a classic long-nose semi truck that combines iconic traditional Peterbilt styling with extensive mechanical improvements, chassis modifications, and interior restoration work. Powered by a Caterpillar diesel engine with an 18-speed manual transmission, this truck has received substantial investment across several major operating systems. In September 2021, the frame was stretched by 52 inches to achieve a 269-inch wheelbase. Six-inch Dynaflex straight exhaust stacks with picket elbows were also installed, giving the truck its distinctive appearance. In November 2021, the pinion in the rear differential assembly was replaced. January 2022 brought replacement seats, two new 150-gallon fuel tanks, and new fuel lines. In March 2023, all outside aluminum wheels were replaced and a new starter was installed. The front rear-end assembly was replaced in September 2024. The largest mechanical improvement came in September 2025, when the Caterpillar engine received a complete out-of-frame overhaul. Approximately 400 miles have been accumulated since that overhaul. The fuel pump was completely rebuilt, the radiator was cleaned and vatted, and a new clutch assembly was installed. The air-conditioning system was also recharged after installation. Interior restoration work continued in August 2026, including updates to the doors, floor, headliner, shifter boot and shroud, headliner visor board, and woodgrain door-panel inserts.
