359 NOW 379EX Peterbilt Update 1-3-13
Well some of you older members might remember when I got this truck and rebuilt it the first time. I went ahead and started my rebuild of my first truck. I still have to do the back light plate and deck plate and punisher shafts before I can paint the frame. Then I am going to install the MFU and put the body back on it while I modd another new body for it. I am not sure if I am going to change the tanks and steps I kind of like that old school look on this one..
