  1. There was a fellow in the Williamsport,PA area that got 1 million miles out of a 237 in an R model. It was featured in the Bulldog magazine about 20 years ago.it was sold and serviced by Susquehanna Motors from West Milton.The service manager at the time was Dennis(can't remember his last name) told me it was absolutely true.So there are some exceptions from the norm.

  2. I've got 2 friends with pete 359's.One is a 1974 with a Big Cam 400, the other has a 1984 with a 3406B Model Cat.These are very nice work trucks and one advantage they have over us people with the old Mack trucks is they can readily buy parts.If they need a radiator they can order one at a Pete dealer, or from Detroit Radiator, or many other aftermarket sources. If they need exhaust parts once again Pete ,Grand Rock,Walker and the list goes on.When I needed these items for my 1984 Superliner the local Mack dealer said"sorry,no longer available". I'm certainly not going to knock the Peterbilt brand.

  3. I was also just reading a article about them from "Overdrive mag" from '77. It said the cab interior used designs from Brockways too. The cab interior looks identical to a R-model to me unless i missed something?

    The interior is basically the same .Just the trim is different.The Superliner 1 used door trim,,an overhead radio counsel,a different headliner,etc.The R used a tan interior,on a Superliner 1 it was painted black and the trim panels were available red,black,blue or tan. Steve
