Peterbilt 359 w/ Grain Hopper
This is Peterbilt 359. Introduced in late 1967 this was the first wide-nosed conventional for Peterbilt. This popular truck offers a long hood, high stacks and other features that make it a stylish truck and a top choice for long rides. The 359 was in production until 1987, when it was replaced by its successor the model "379".
The truck is pulling a grain hopper trailer which is used to haul bulk commodity products (such as grain). These trailers are used extensively throughout the United States to transport agricultural products as well as any other commodity that can be hauled in bulk and loaded and unloaded through the trailer.

Wanting to have more varieties of truck, I started learning Blender to be able to make some. After some tries, this is the first model I managed to finish decently. Kind of experimental for me as this is the first time creating content for Steam Workshop.
