Wisconsin KW shop fire 12/7

That's pretty cool of you! Too bad they aren't in Cleveland, I've been looking for something to volunteer to help out doing, this sounds like just the ticket.

Oh well. Glad your ride wasn't involved!

 

Man, they can probably sell it for at least 10 Grand. After all, apparently old Pete's needing bodywork go for a lot of cash.

I still think it's too bad someone lost their rig because of a wiring fault.

 

we use to disconnect negative wire when we keep trucks tonight in workshop.

 

An '84 would most likely be mechanically injected. (unless it was re-powered) However, that Pete isn't an '84. It might be a '94- it's got the design cues of a model 379.

 

seems to me to repare this truck is too expencive deal. there are many parts, that were not damaged. so it is better to take truck apart and sell parts.

and I wanna see pics of workshop soot and smoke damage, of other trucks...

I told your story to my chief today and he agrees to me to disconnect battery cabels if we leave truck in workshop.

 

but smell.... I know what is the fire damage...

 

That is no 84. For one thing the Unibilt Cabsleeper didn't come out til 94. Also from looking at the cab what is left and from were sleepjoint it it might be an Ultracab if so would be a 97. WHy would I know this called drove for an all Peterbilt fleet and the Bossman would only get Warrenty repairs done at Pete Dealers. IIRC 97 was the last year of the Nashville plant so it might be from there.
