Not much of a Peterbilt guy but very nicely done.
Great job bringing back an old truck. Being an 87 it has to be close to some of the first 379s made. IIRC, Pete stopped making the 359 in 86?

Pretty sure. 20 year cycles. 2007 was the last year. Guess that would make it 88. Too damn early.

Like I said, I am no Pete man, but my dad had an 87 359. I'm thinking the 379 came out mid year.
I could be wrong.

Mine wasn't supposed to have a question mark. I was agreeing with you.

Good luck! If it's anything like my KW they've reused the VIN. Which means they need to find the info the old school way and no one seems to be able to do that or ambitious enough to research it.
Either way, very neat.

I've had no issues with my kw's. Just give them the year and they can pick the proper info. Both my 94's w900 share vin with like t600's or something from 08
