The picture of the Pete 372 is ugly but there are some out there that look better than that (ok, somewhat . If you look at modern Pete's you'll see some of the design features of the 372 in them. They also must have been thinking of 10 mpg. I think the ugliest truck out there is a Pete 389. I also think a K100 aerodyne is about the nicest looking truck out there.

My vote for the ugliest truck currently used in large company fleets ...is given hands down to the International line of trucks with the 9400-I taking the first place medal .

There isn't much of change from the Century/Columbia set up. It's pretty much the same dash layout also. The big difference I noticed was the storage over the driver. The Century/Columbia had a nice deep shelf with lots of room. This Cascadia had a storage compartment with a door in the middle and an open pocket on each side of the door. Less room to me. The suspension was the same Airliner suspension design that's been on them for years and the air ride on the cab looked to be the same too. Hopefully they made up for it by eliminating all the sqeaks and rattles famous with the Freightliner and maybe quieting down the interior some. 8) 8)

KW T600, but only when it has the airdam on top and yea......the Marmon was an UGLY truck. Now the 1953 AutoCar Model DC 75 is a fine piece of work.
