Description
1995 Peterbilt 378 Flat Top Sleeper
CAT 3406E • 500 HP • Rockwell 13-Speed Double Overdrive
Beautiful cherry-red 1995 Peterbilt 378 featuring the highly desirable flat-top sleeper, aerodynamic roof scoop, dual 7-inch straight pipes, all-aluminum wheels, heavy-duty ¼-inch front bumper, and classic "little big nose" Peterbilt styling.
This is not a worn-out old truck with an unknown history. This truck has been extensively maintained and upgraded with documented records showing substantial investment in major mechanical components. It combines the timeless look of a classic Peterbilt with the dependability of a truck that has received continuous attention and significant mechanical improvements. Based on the maintenance history provided, major engine work, transmission upgrades, suspension work, steering components, cooling system components, and driveline components have all received considerable investment.
Powered by a 3406E Caterpillar rated at 500 HP and backed by a Rockwell 13-Speed Double Overdrive transmission, this Peterbilt is built to work while still turning heads wherever it goes.

Why This Truck Stands Out
Most vintage Peterbilts on the market offer classic looks but come with major unknowns. This truck offers classic looks and documented investment in the components buyers care about most: engine, transmission, cooling system, steering, suspension, driveline, air system, and chassis components.
This truck has received extensive upgrades and maintenance to preserve both its appearance and reliability. The expensive work has already been done.
A rare opportunity to own a sharp, well-maintained Peterbilt 378 that is equally suitable for work, show, or owner-operator use.
Beautiful. Documented. Proven. Ready to go.
