My Dad was a lifelong trucker, mechanic, welder, fabricator, etc.
He was building this 66 Needlenose Peterbilt 351 into a custom truck. He installed a 8.3 Cummins and 6 speed business class Eaton trans in it. He fabricated the radiator and front bumper mounts, the cab mounts, engine and trans mounts, etc.
Sadly he got brain cancer and passed away in Jan 2019. I told him before though that I would finish the truck in memory/honor of him.
I added taller stacks with heat shields, formed and made the front brake lines from the calipers to the brake master/hydrobooster, adjustable Wilwood style proportioning valve. Last summer I scored the '67 KW 32" coffin sleeper for it.
I hope to have all the incidentals plumbed on it this summer so it will be running and driving. I scored the 19.5" Petey Vision Hauler wheels and tires for it last summer.
