What this mod does
Jon Ruda’s Pete 389 Glider is a paid recreation of the Peterbilt 389, the classic long-hood truck, that brings the 378, 379, 388 and 389 versions together in a single mod. It’s a standalone truck: it doesn’t replace the SCS 389.
What’s included
- 12 chassis in 6×4, 8×4 and 8×6, with long and standard frames, and several hood options.
- 8 cabs for the 389/388, from DayCab to 72″ HighRoof, and 7 for the 379/378.
- Original interiors from the 389, the 389X with a digital dash and the 379, fully animated.
- Engines and sounds by Kapitan Kriechbaum and 6- to 18-speed transmissions.
- Lots of accessories and plates, a wheel pack, and original and DLC steering wheels.
- Compatibility with SiSL’s Mega Pack, the Cabin Accessories DLC and the author’s Wrecker DLC.
- Paint job pack and a template to create your own.
