Intro

Time to add another truck to Ryan's collection!
0:32
This one is a 1977 Peterbilt 359 short hood, with a Cummins NTC-400 Big Cam 2, 13-speed Roadranger transmission, Peterbilt air leaf suspension, and a 36 sleeper.
0:42
It hasn't run over-the-road since 2000, when its owner retired. It's been sitting in this spot for about 7 years, but it was last run 2 or 3 years ago before the owner passed away.
0:52
The owner's wife wanted to sell the truck, so we quickly jumped on the deal. It's time to get this thing back on the road again.
1:02
We put two good batteries in it and got it to crank over. Didn't even have to top off the fuel. Let's bring this old Peterbilt back to life!
5:40
The tires sunk into the ground from sitting, and the ground is wet from the frost, so the truck can't get out under its own power... we will have to tow it with the pickup.
6:57
Had to dig the front tires out, free up the brakes on the LA drive tires, and shorten the chain. Let's try this again.
7:40
Let's get this thing on the road and take it up over the mountain to clear the cobwebs out of it. Listen to the jake brake!
12:43
The truck made the 13-mile trip home with no problems, and it runs strong. So let's take it out for a joyride.
