Bought a 359 Peterbilt with a Detroit 8v92. Did I get a good deal?

You have on what I think both steers is a stressed bolt on the end of the stroke rod tying it to the actuator arm. That is one item that jumped out at me.

 

It really needed fresh paint, regardless of the purchase price. You have done a good job of rehabbing it. Good job!

 

Be very careful.

I go by what I am trained regarding arkansas law and statues from simple battery on through aggs, theft and assaults, murder etc.

We have castle doctrine for curtiledge (Land you own) Home and business as well as vehicle. SO Mr bad guy breaks in or invades well. That's probably going to be the last time he will be doing that. But if he grabbed the TV out of my living room and ran before I get there and see him go into the woods well, i cannot shoot him over property. (Combined with a end of threat that is fleeing) Which is why if that door comes down we'll see how it goes. That is a deadline for him.

Examine laws in your state carefully. And I hope you never have that kind of trouble. Ever.

My solution? It's based on a half breed dog bigger than a man I remember in the meat plant shop at Fort Collins CO and get me one of those to have run of the land. Feed him less than what he needs at dinner. Anyone come through that fence... probably will not make it back to the fence anytime soon.

Good luck to you.

 

You got a big dog who's always hungry right?

 

The small can on the passenger side is a Luberfiner engine oil filter canister.

 

Ya did good buying it.
As for the paint I can think of far worse ways to blow 7K. Looks #### nice.
Always happy to see one of these old workhorses back on the road after getting refreshed.
Hope it makes ya lots of money for years to come.
