Classic case of Pete envy, I'd say. :thumbsup:

What the designers all think that all truckers WANT to be able to reach acroos the truck to roll down the window NOT be able to see behind the sleeper to back up when needed. Also that normal people would needed to squeeze thourgh a space tighter than the spot between the frame and cab of and International gives you to change the slave Clyinder on the transmission to get to the bunk.

My passenger window operates by air, no need to reach across. I do hang my cup holders on the passenger door, and that's pretty convenient. I have no trouble getting into my sleeper and I'm normal, well almost normal, well I think I'm normal but my wife thinks I'm nuts.

I love the old Peterbilts, I'd like to find an old model 350 and restore it.

My old boss always said: The cab of a Peterbilt, You can heat it with a match but you cant keep it cool with an ice cube.

After lift-off, turn right at the moon, then left at the milky way... Third star on the left and fire retro-rockets...
These new trucks look more like space ships than trucks.
And, I can tell you that "built in Mexico" does NOT mean quality.
The new trucks the company just started getting in last week are Petes. And, certified clean idle.
