83 359 pete good idea/bad idea-good bad idea

I wasn't trying to imply you will spend $140,000. I was trying to imply even "if" you spent that much, you would still be ok. Because your truck would be better than the new ones at Peterbilt.

A lot of guys think it's stupid to spend good money on an older truck. I'm not one of them. Like I said congrads

 

Congrats on the purchase. Keep us updated on the build.

 

Looking at that video, the truck sure is prettier than the driver. lol

 

@Ezrider_48501 when I bought this W900L I replaced every moving piece of the brakes. Drums / shoes / S-cams with bushings, and seals / brake chambers / slack adjusters / rubber brake lines and brake valve. As well as all 8 airbags / bag mounts / shocks / wheel bearings with races and seals. Pinion seals and U joints in the drive line, new clutch brake, new front bumper, and replaced the engine. All in I had less than $20K in it ready to roll out the door. I don’t know how far your willing to go but, for less than what your probably thinking you’ll have a fine 359 ready to make some $$$...... my buddy has a new fiberglass top for his 359 still in the wood shipping frame, pretty sure he told me it was around $500.

 

Your brake jobs sound like mine. lol

 

#### it’s got a 13 Im jealous

 

Check the windshield wipers. The hood looks awful long too

 

The pictures of it at his house confirms it is a 359.

 

What pictures at what house? I’m talking about the show truck are you?

Every 359 I’ve ever seen has the wiper arms mounted in the center of the windshields not off to the drivers lefts like those are
