    Would like to know if this paint scheme has a name and if it is still possible to get it on a new truck from the factory. I cannot tell from the pictures how its finished at the back of the bunk or on the hood...

    Definitely looks like a late 70's colors. Had a 78 Volare about the color of the orange, and a 78 Dodge Van a little darker than that.

    Swoop. Actually Peterbilt used a numbering system for their paint jobs. 034B is close.

    Thanks very much. Now that I know its called 'Swoop' I have been able to find a lot more pics and articles on guys getting that paint on their new 389s.
    The plan is to build a new hot rod to look as much like an old 359 as possible. If by some miracle I had the last 6 of the VIN for the cream 359 in the picture I would be set...
