That is a very rare truck there were only 10000 made with that dashboard and hood which was discontinued in 1977 it’s worth a lot of money restored

That 359 dashboard. And that truck is pretty rare with that kind of dashboard. And yes, that hood is stalked. But it was pretty rare for a fibergrass hood, too.

I believe that dash was used up until 1976 or 1977, then they began production with the “corvette dash”

It never ceases to amaze me how much your trucks over there in the US can tow.

This is an awesome truck, I personally would love to see this brought back to its former glory and see it restored back to its OEM spec

She deserves to be restored , she showed she's willing to live again with the ease of starting. Give her a new life.😊 Old trucks are truly awesome and beautiful.

As someone who has dealt with back issues for awhile, i hope you make a full amd speedy recovery

Definitely a truck worth keeping and restoring. Nothings better then an old Pete being put back on the road once again.

Greatwork!! Love the sound of that engine!!

Very cool truck that needs to be saved! I hope you clean it up, get it road-worthy and enjoy it as is.

Very cool I used to work for Peterbilt for a long time 359 is what I want to say but the fiberglass hood throws me awesome truck though love what you do keep up the great work keep the old iron alive thank you

My dad had back surgery like 4 weeks ago and he couldn’t bend down to pick stuff up or lift heavy thing. The max amount of weight he could or was allowed to pick up was a gallon of milk. He over did it sometimes but when he went for a check last week they said he was doing better than most people with that surgery

I appreciate how you can bring these jewels back to life. ❤

The truck is worth keeping i would think and the engine sounds sweet 😊

Very rare truck would love to see it back in working condition 😮‍💨

the way that started makes me think it wants and deserves to live on.

Keep it,but fix it back up original no lowering or stretching the frame,clean it up fix the throttle & you should've had your giant channel lock pliers to go the cap off the tank,change the oil,filters & either try to fix the grill or find another one replace the headlights & differently try it get that one wheel freed-up & fix that leak under the truck

Damn that engine sounds good and strong..shit..considering it been in a wreck it started right up..that starter is kicking it hard

Love to see this one build for next years semi casual show. Back from the dead rebuild and fix up. Do a cut off and air bag it from to back, get a hood from some salvage yard... even do an in frame on the motor [if not you film somebody else doing it]. THAT would be good content.

If anyone can get it crank it's you Bruce!

Great to see you guys get that old peterbilt tag axle to run and drive again.

I don’t know crap about trucks. But i love you will it start. Wish you luck on your back. I wouldn’t mind hanging around with you guys a few days just to learn a little something. Also love the truck you bought for your son.

Hope you fill better soon buddy 🎉

Great video and great find. She may never work again but she definitely live

Restore this old beast! Plenty of life in her yet..i love how easy she turned over even after years of neglect.. built to last.. ❤

Kind of cool how it didn't overheat even with the shutters closed even though it's not high idling

Where was our power washing montage?

Finally I’ve been waiting for another will it start

I love your videos. Keep them coming.

Not all history is worth money. I've got a vile of dirt from the times of Jesus- it's history but its just a vile of dirt. There are some trucks that are just dirt. Great for parts to save more desirable rigs. The thing about tractors like this is if guys loved them or they were something special they were used hard and sometimes put away like this one. But for half the money or less you can build this one out for you can buy one ready to be customized to your liking and put to work. That's why if it's not special it's trash.

You think its cheap to restore something? Especially if you're going to do a decent job. He is running a business. Whether that be making videos or fixing/selling trucks. He has to do what makes money. Spending his time restoring a rare/sought-after truck is going to get more views and sell for more if he decides to. Can't just throw away time and money on every beater around.

The suspension is hendrickson extended leaf popular for construction back in the day. It's probably a 73 or 74 cause I have a 73 set up the same only I ordered it with cat engine. Still have it and use it

You should do a old build like this for the truck show next year.

359 short hoods aren’t as common as standard or exhd’s. And it has shutter radiator setup. This thing is worth some money. Not everyday you come across a small window Pete.

Just found your channel. I like the truck, try to keep it and get well soon ❤

Hope to see you fix this one up.

A slipped disc could be the beginning of the end if you do not rest your back for a few weeks. Take it from someone who now requires a microdiscectomy/disc fusion on L4/L5 because I didn't stop after being told. It sucks and the sciatica is relentless. Take some time off Bruce.

Boy that old truck brings back memories.. One little warning for ya guys.. if one of those mufflers ever explodes don't be standing by it. I had one on a Peterbuilt explode just as i got in the cab. The boom it made was enough to hurt ya

Worth restoring….because Edison Motors explains classic trucks where built tough for the job and easier to work on….they mention people don’t know what they buy and scrap em or demolish them for scrap. Today’s truck requires lots of attention to make sure they run well and meet DOT requirements…with the old…less concerns of less sensors and DOT requirements. FYI Edison Motors is bringing back the classic kenworth/pete square body style for logging. Which Kenworth stopped production years ago. It’s electric but going for simplicity and quality….can’t wait for the reveal and first truck out of production.

Dear Bruce I'm glad you found this old girl and bought her. I'm glad you got her going again. She looks a little rough. But I know you can find the parts for her. I hope you take her apart. Replace all the hoses exhaust, The brake parts. Give her a good bead blasting. To strip all the old paint off. Then get ready to put her back together. With all new parts. That you bought. And maybe put her back into service. Or sell her or some trucker who wants an old girl. That will still work hard. I can imagine the guy who worked on her maybe have passed on. Or still around to see this old gal back on the road. I believe this is the 72 or73. I can imagine if the railroad historical society where you live at is watching this video and watching you get this old girl running again. Get some contact with you. To work on a EMD F-8 to get her running again. I hope you get well soon. Because I heard you hurt your back. I know what that feels like I fell off a loading dock. I damaged my hip and back. So keep up the good work. Take it easy get healthy. Hope to see more videos. And paint that Peterbilt. In Ultra Magnus colors. Transformers generation 1. God bless you Sven

This is a cool truck

Nice old school vocational Spec Pete with a Hendrickson RT walking beam.

That is one healthy sounding engine.

Run-aways are no joke. My friend in high school had a diesel powered station wagon, one of those brown panel ugly car. We use to take it out for rided during lunch period. Never been so scared in my life when it revved up and would not come down. We had to lock up the brakes and ran like hell. It finally stopped after 45 minutes with the fire department watching. My friend got into a lot of trouble because it was his fathers car and he did not have permission to use it. it went straight to the junkyard.

Looks like a old Whitehurst paving truck (Richmond VA) they has a large fleet of that style check the doors for a diamond shape were a sticker was on the door. Should be 315 9 speed . They also had dump trucks that way also great will it start . She's a 259 should give her another chase. Make a great flat bed or a scrap truck or single axle farm truck

I like your work
