Peterbilt 359 Restoration Ep.57 Hood Swap

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#littlebylittle359 #twinsticks #twinstickgarage
On this episode I tackled the installation of the survivor hood I recently purchased from another truck restorer and dragged back home from Saskatchewan (see On the Hunt Ep. 7).
Was not as difficult as I expected and was also able to install new hinge bushings and classic dual round headlights on square classic mounts.
Celebrated the successful install (fit like a glove) with a little twinsticking action.
Enjoy watching the "little by little" progress of this Peterbilt 359 project that's nearing completion and the next #ProjectSnowman, a Kenworth W900A tribute truck to the one used in Smokey and the Bandit.
“Son, from what I’ve heard the biggest thing about the Bandit is his ego … I figure that, plus a lot of my dollars and he’ll try anything, legal or not”
I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts
Subscribe for notifications for future episodes that I do my best to upload weekly including "On The Hunt" where we search out cool old iron for future projects
Who knows what I might drag home next ... Classic Iron Duke cabover, Lincon Hawk Autocar or maybe a Pork chop Express???

I found your channel when you replaced the top on her and have been following ever since. I broke in to driving with an ol 63 KW, 5x4, and a shiny 290. Loved it. Keep on keeping on.

    I'm all for custom but I have to say most of the times I like OEM equipment. Those headlight buckets that you picked up look GREAT! So I know projects are never done but looks like Ol Blue is getting close to an acceptable level of done-ness. Never thought i'd watch a fellow up in Canadia restore an old Pete but i've been here for the whole ride.

    Hello Friend: For what its worth. When I was running two sticks I got two pieces of heater hose and with a bit of grease on the inside ,I removed the shift knobs, and I slid the hoses over the the sticks. The extra weight of the hoses changed the feel of the shifting action and if I missed a gear the hoses muffled the grinding sound of the missed shift but I could still feel the grind in the stick. It was a common practice to use the heater hose covers back in the day. Regards Hugh

    I really enjoy your channel, you have a great way of narrating while you work and presenting your projects. As far as probation violations, each state in our union is sovereign and people on probation/parole must abide by the rules laid out in their release agreements...just part of the plan. Some people don't like it but jurisdictions must be respected. Please don't take my comment as a scolding, our systems are very different. As an 8th grade student learning about the Canadian system, I lived in NY and the curriculum recognized the value of our neighbors to the north, it was difficult to understand how democracies could be so different and still work. Thanks for you continued contributions.

He had it along with a new (at the time) 1985 Autocar AT64 400 3406 13 speed he hauled steel and equipment with them up till about 2000 and then retired.Old Pet had a special place in my hart.Liked that A car to.

    I cut my teethe on two stick trucks I use to buff gears like you are when I was young man and like you the clutch was for starting and stopping, Than I grew up and realized the clutch is your friend if you want smooth non buffed gear shifting with the clutch pedal can help smooth out them shifts, believe me the transmission will have cleaner oils samples with some clutch use. I watch your video's allot because you enjoy the two stick trucks I drove a 1971 Kenworth needle nose 400 Big cam Cummins single axle with double trailers hauling aggregate from our quarry to the concrete plant 6 days a week 6 loads a day 30 ton each load. My back is wasted now but Id do it all over again in a heart beat. Keep on trucking brother.
