1982 Peterbilt 359 Specs & Photos
The 1982 Peterbilt 359 is a Class 8 conventional highway tractor from the model's mature production, carrying the aluminum cab and one-piece fiberglass tilt hood used since the line's 1967 introduction. Engines were specified to order and by this era typically included the Caterpillar 3406, the Cummins NTC Big Cam rated near 350 to 400 hp, or the Detroit Diesel 8V-92, mated to Fuller Roadranger manual transmissions. The 1982 model year was a mid-run carryover, available as a day cab or with a sleeper, five years before the Model 379 replaced the 359 in 1987.
