    Really boosts the road experience knowing there's some dude driving an 18 wheeler with his air ride seat down in the basement and trying to act all gangsta with the lean and just barely able to see over the dash board.

    My dad had a 1985 Western Star Gold Star edition with the 3406B Cat engine. It was turned up and putting out close to 500 hp. It had a muffler delete and would pump out the black smoke like no tomorrow and get at best 3 miles to the gallon. I miss those days with him. Every time I hear the sound of an old cat engine at idle or at speed it makes me reminisce on those times together. Thanks for giving me a trip down memory lane.

    Lots of people saying Bruce should get a 359 here. Sure, they're certainly available. They're also at least 35 years old, with all the problems a 35 year old truck will have. Beat to death, hacked by God knows how many sketchy hands, rotted, twisted, cracked; the list of maladies is endless for the affordable ones. The cost to buy one in the condition this one is in will probably start around $75,000, and could still be hiding expensive problems. I'm all for the old iron; I detest what the dealers are peddling these days. But to think it's just a matter of handing over the cash and BINGO, your 359 is ready to put 100,000 miles on in a year without a problem is foolish. I bought a new Western Star / 3406B in '85, and I worked on that truck virtually every weekend. That was a brand new truck. Add 37 years & 2½ million miles to it and you can imagine the amount of maintenance it'll require. Just be careful and wise.

Then bought a new 379 with a E model Cat….In 2000 bought a 379 with a C-15 550 hp….That one was a certified member of the “Left Lane Gang” !
