Hi there I'm fairly new to the forum so I apoligize if this is the wrong section. My father past away in 1983. He was the owner of A&M villani and sons in NJ hauling sand and gravel. Im looking to get into the transport business and was just curious if anyone would happen to know or seen my dads old trucks. They were tan and black 1979-1982 Peterbilt 359. Actually they were just in the Sept issue of Large Car magazine in the days gone by section. Small chance ill find them but worth a shot. Thanks.

 

Sorry here are some pics.

 

They don't look familiar to me.

 

The name is familiar, where in Jersey are you from?

The trucks sort of look familiar also

 

Based out of New Milford. Now in the LBI area. Nice looking rig you got there.

 

The tan one was aparantly painted black and thats all i know. However the factory black and silver one which was sold to Bolkemia Oil, then sold to David Zuidema Spetic. They aparantly painted the truck green then sold it.



The search continues.

 

I have not seen either of them but I have an 87' 359 and an 84' 359 and I would sell you one or both If you are interested. The details are very extensive but if pm me I would be glad to go into. The 87' is an extended hood with mechanical N14 (about 550 hp) the 84 is a standard hood with a 400 Cummins, both have 63" sleepers. I know you said you were interested in finding your Dads old trucks but I thought I would mention them in case you might still want that old school look for the business. I am not a truck salesman these are my personal trucks.
