That Autocar is awesome! I saw one at the truck show in Carlisle,PA that was all restored and, I believe he stretched the frame. It was very nice. The guy was from Ohio, the truck was black with some red thrown in there. 8)

That Pete above though........WOW! what were they thinking?

Any cabover. Especially that Pete (pictured above).

I really like the look of the VN series Volvos. The new 880 has taken a while to grow on me- but now I've started to like the look of them.

If we're talking trucks with hoods (even though the 880 has a hood- I don't consider it a hood- it's still a Volvo!), I like the look of a W900.

I couldn't drive one though. I like being able to see the view.

I know too many guys who've hit the car in front of them because they didn't know it was there. No joke.

Same here on the hate for the 379 here are my reasons for said hate. 1 no visability over the hood can not see what is directly in front of you ever noticed what truck has the highest percentage of bent up front bumpers the Pete 379. 2 the cab is WAY TO NARROW. That restricts your visability to the rear and also makes it way to hard to get to the bunk after your driving shift Heaven help you if you are running team or training in a 379. When you can roll the passenger side window down from the drivers seat with out getting out of the seat and it is not a power window there is something wrong. Come on PACAR you did not NEED TO BRING BACK THE R MODEL MACK CAB. 3rd Sleeper set up flat out sucks. Pete is the only sleeper that uses a split mattress for the upper bunk try sleeping with the seam running down your back can not be done also with the double bunk 379 the upper bunk does not fold all the way into the back wall and so the person on the bottom has to worry about a concussion when waking up when they sit up from hitting the upper bunk.

That plus the fact Pete overprices them just because of the name. you can get a Western Star fully loaded for what a base 379 starts at and have more room in the cab and sleeper. That and I think the 379 is so ugly that even if you draped Faith Hill and Shania Twain over one would I ever want to DRIVE ONE AGAIN.

A flat top Pete with a 285 - 300 wheel base is one of the prettiest trucks out there![/img]
