that picture of the pete 387 i believe it is just doesnt look that great to me. it is a great looking truck but i think that big long straight pipes look A LOT better on long nose trucks. just my opinion though... great pics as always...

lol its a 386 and i agree, but them 386's and arrow trucks are whats getting good fuel mileage. Besides the Pete long nose 389 is going by-by all together soon, i think in 2012....

yes they do. they get a lot better fuel milage and i think they look a lot better also. i would kill to be in a pete 387 or a volvo VNL64T. i think those trucks look really good but have heard about some problems in the volvos.
