That is one thing I notice about new trucks that are freshly introduced, they look WAY better in person than they do in the pics. Especially on truck paper or something like that where they have multiple pics and you get them just right, man they look good! Speaking of new trucks what happened to that areo package that are on the new Pete 388/389? I never seen a new Pete with the areo package at all! :?

Your right the only thing differnt I've noticed about the 389 is the ugly headlights.

I kinda like it because it's different but it just looks too much like a over sized PT Cruiser.

If you watch the unvieling video, the first vehicle you see is a 1940's international pickup and yes the big grill does remind you of the Diamond T's. They've gone with the retro look just like auto manufactures have. The inside does look nice, roomy and a bit brighter compared to many I've driven. With the lock away storage maybe now many drivers can clean off their dash and quit making it look like a junkyard. On the outside, the only real changes they have made are hood, bumper, headlights and aircleaner AND it comes with chicken lights already installed. With the way the hood sweeps back, you should see some increase in fuel efficiency. Check out the specs on this thing before you attack it, dosen't look to be all that bad and I do like the retro look. Too bad they didn't come out with this 15 yrs ago, I woulda bought one in the 2 tone paint.

This truck was pretty cool too!
