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

Who knows what I might drag home next ... Classic Iron Duke cabover, Lincon Hawk Autocar or maybe a Pork chop Express???

One dollar and another 😁
No complaints here .... most of us can't afford a "fun" tractor, let alone a tractor/trailer complete setup. Drive that ol' Blue every chance you get and wear out that Jake .... we'll keep watchin' the channel and drooling on our keyboards !!

Awesome finally to the 359 Hood Swap. Perfect song. Beautiful fall day. So glad your doing what you want to do. Your a very lucky man. Thank you for sharing with us. Sending you greetings from Dallas Texas USA.
"Old Blue" is looking sweet with the new hood. She'll look better once you get her painted and pin striped.

@@TwinStix an put the chrome badge backing back too as when it painted blue it will make the badge stand out . Love that song of waylon's when you were out driving .
I'm an old retired trucker of 40 years on the road. I'm impressed with the work you've done to ol blue there. 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. We'll be watching
i just finished watching smokey and the bandit then when i come back i saw this video. and watching the movie it made me extra exited for project snowman can’t wait for the next upload love your content. regards from australia 👍🏻

Absolutely excited about project Snowman. If you decide to do a special T shirt for that I think it would sell pretty good here in the lower 48
Four colors or not , still prettier than a brand new 389 to me 🔥 can't wait to see it done!
any day driving a cool old truck is a great day. sometimes we need to take a break and just enjoy our accomplishments.
I'm an operator in Australia and it's nice to see a man make a machine sing and dance good job

A world away big Vin yet signing the same ole song.
Thanks for the frequent uploads!
Your video and movie clip inserts are the icing on your cake. I’m really enjoying your episodes.
I am so very happy for you, hearing the pride in your voice is heartwarming, you deserve compliments, for you have worked so very hard for your dreams. Keep on Trucking brother.
Waylon on the speakers, warm fall day, "The Duck" beak to the wind........ I'm envious. City Of New Orleans in the garage too. Gonna be a gorgeous rig when yer done Boss. Keep 'em coming.
Man, I could watch these all day long.
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
The pin-striping below the headlights is so cool, Miss that about the old trucks.

People took pride in their rigs....awesome channel for all of us
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.
Thank you for the clip of Ray!!!! Shit had me dying!!! VLT machines the fuckin way she goes lol. Nice condition hood you found! The old Pete is gonna look great all painted up! More project Snowman please!!!
Oh man I love the round head lights, my Dad had a 1977 with a 400 big cam 13 speed and he put the early 80s square head lights on it. 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.
It’s going to be a beauty when it’s painted... love it!!
Great videos! I'm restoring a 1981 359! I just stumbled upon your videos yesterday evening and I'm already on episode 57! Thank you for awesome videos and insight into the restoration of these old girls!
Dolly Has a lot Love♥️ for her Coat 🧥 of many Colares" Love in every Stitch" 🎨 ..Thankyou Mark
Thanks for the new episode, keep on going Little by little.
As always, having great time watching. Stay safe and keep up the great work sir !
That really does look good, especially the headlights. And there’s that beautiful music of the engine!
I love seeing what you have done to this truck and how you saved it. So awesome.
I’m so excited to see LBL painted up I can only imagine how excited you are
What a cool truck you have rebuilt. You put in a supreme effort in to bring it back to life. Pay no attention and use those Jake's to your hearts content. I know I would! 🤓
Good evening Mark and Family She’s coming right along my friend 🤠 Take care and be safe out there 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cant wait to see old blue painted and looking new keep up the amazing work
Brilliant!! Nice lights!! Great news.
One more step in the right direction. I'm still drooling... Beauty of a truck. Well done!
I am so impressed with how far it has come!
Really enjoy watching these, good stuff.
Can’t believe how far that rig has come. Great Job!
Can’t wait to see paint job! Well done sir. Greetings from Southern California.
A Thursday video?!?! Awesome treat! Thanks for making my day!
Love this series. Reminds me of my childhood. My parents owned a trucking company when I was younger. Until 2007. My mother now owns truck brokerage.
Love the show. Thanks for sharing
Oh men ! I love This truck ! And she’s even painted yet ! Keep up the good work Twinstick Garage ! 😄 Love it ! 💪🏻
And the music in the cab you play is the best too.
Man, that looks awesome..!! Great job..!! Those headlights are amazing..!!!
Love the duck! Reminds me of the movie "death proof" and of course "convoy"
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.
Looks great with the new hood! Can't wait to see LBL all painted up.
Ole blue new hood made a huge difference cant wait to see with new paint....will look amazing
Looking sweet! Well done getting it all fitted.
I really do like the fact that you and many others keep mentioning Bruce Wilson, and not bad mouthing him. We have all made mistakes and he has done nothing but try to right his wrongs. Genuinely can not wait for Bruce to be back on KZread.
You the man Twinstick’s and thanks for the floors once again💪🏾💪🏾

Looking great! The contrast from how she looked when you dragged her out of that field to how she looks now is huge. I look forward to seeing where you take her from here.

I prefer the black headlights more but Hey you're truck you're way love how it' come on it long
New to the channel. Just finished binge watching the LBL resto. Looking forward to seeing it finished and watching project snowman.
Love your videos
Looking great! I'm glad to see those 379 front fenders go, they're narrower than 359 fenders and IMO didn't look right with the bumper being wider. You're doing a good job. Keep at it.
Been watching you from the get-go! There's not going to be too many bolts that you haven't touched.Enjoy your work!
Congrats on the new hood hopefully she'll match the rest of the truck soon greetings from Arizona
Your knowledge of these trucks is quite impressive
I watched the whole series. Great Work, keep on working. Subscribebutton is smashed :-) greetings from Saarbrücken Germany
Nice process on the project
Looking good.
Old blue is turn out nice👍👍
That's going to be really nice truck
Getting very close to that paint job, I love the headlights. You were fortunate to find a clean hood and all the pieces!

She’s lookin’ Sharp ! 👍🏼🤩
Like you said, they must change the bumpers and the hood bushing every couple of years. I've owned a 359, a 378 and a 379. Everyone of them was different!That hood and headlights look great. Good video😎
Awesome video! Great job on the old girl, hard to believe that is the same truck you started with.
Jake sounds almost better than my Harley! Good job and looking sweet!
Another great progress :) i hope onday she´ll be able to get her own trailer^^
