Thanks Much Donny. The front bumper was a Idea of mine and this is the prototype I have 2 more comming and they should be the finish product. I drilled the blinkers in I do not have them hooked up yet but I will soon.

Re: 359 Peterbilt Update AGAIN??

Re: 359 Peterbilt Update AGAIN??

Those rims half got to be the sickest rims out there and wrapped in those new tires look reel good. I also love that front bumper with the corner lights. Great remodel. But then to be pulling your cattle pot on top of that daaaaammmmnnn!!! Cant waite to see it in kasson. You better bring it then im gonna slip you a roofie and take it.

Re: 359 Peterbilt Update AGAIN??

I the rims and bumper, Paul. Makes for a sharp looking truck, that's for sure. After seeing all these trucks with stretched frames, the stock frames look so short it's silly!

Re: 359 Peterbilt Update AGAIN??

Sorry for diggin this up but nice truck man! How long are the chassis rails on it?

Re: 359 Peterbilt Update AGAIN??

Sorry about that I missed this the rails are 26 1/2 long on the truck.. Make sure you get the good frame rails from Freddy..

Re: 359 NOW 379EX Peterbilt Update AGAIN?? AGAIN??

Ok I have said I was going to do this someday and Jon talked me into it so here we go. Jon did all the body and paint work for me and it is flawless just like the wife's truck so if you can do it your self ask Jon..LOL ok got my plug for Jon out of the way..

The 359 is NOW a 379EX with a new color of Green with more gold flake in it.. The color is deeper and pops more in the sun light. Other little bits I had Jon repaint the hole frame work too just tore it down and shipped it to him for paint. Also added a custom bumper Russ made me with Lynn's lights in it and a Set of IH Builders air cleaners and some new mud flaps with weights and it was done. I also pieced a KH decal kit together to work on the new body..
