"Great kit"
Adseyffert
This is my first Italeria model. I am very impressed with he high level of detail put into the model me the instructions (they even tell you what part tray each piece is on). This truck went together super smooth and easy. It has been a great change from doing cars. Very highly recommended. The quality is well worth the money spent.

Information

The Peterbilt 378 Long Hauler Tractor Cab is a semi-tractor truck model produced by Peterbilt Motors Company. This model was first introduced in 1997 as a replacement for the earlier 359 model. The 378 was designed to be more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient than its predecessor, featuring a sloping hood and a more streamlined cab design.

The 378 came in a variety of configurations, including day cab, extended cab, and sleeper cab models. Powering the 378 were several engine options such as the Caterpillar C15, the Cummins N14, and the Detroit Diesel Series 60. Transmission options were also available, including manual, automatic, and semi-automatic.

Throughout its production, the 378 received updates with new features and technologies such as electronic controls, improved aerodynamics and more fuel-efficient engines. Customization options were also available, including chrome packages, custom paint schemes, and specialized lighting and suspension systems.

The 378 model was phased out in 2007, however, it remains a beloved model among truck enthusiasts and collectors. The iconic design, powerful engines and reputation for reliability and durability are some of the reasons for its continued popularity.
