Are you building just the tractor, or will you have a trailer of some sort for it as well?

Cool! I did a semi way back in high school. They say old truckers never die. They just get a new Peterbuilt :giggles:
Thanks,
John

Smoootthhh finish! The oldest Peterbilt I've been around was a 1941 that we had under some well drilling equipment. It got scrapped, and then I found out they only built 300 or so. Bummed :headbang: The 359's are great trucks.

One of the companies that I drove for issued me an early 359. A big cat, a corvette dash and a 15 speed rock crusher. Triple digits all day long if I didn't mind the tickets.

Nice! It’s rare I do rigs. There are 2 I really love to add to my stash - both from TV shows...
