    Google Peterbilt 387 Manual. You can download one from their website. It's more of a user's manual than anything else.

    Checked that one out. I'm really looking for the wiring specs where all the breakers are and the wiring for the extra option switches want to put a set of 100w spots on it. Just going out to pull the airtabs off.. Owner has airtabs both sides and top, he tried to color match the paint on them and they look hideous, plus some have dissappeared so even more hideous... They Got to go.... Polish the headlight lenses decal the doors and put my stuff in.. Full day today.. And its of course great weather ALL my buddies are calling they are all going riding...

    Go to the Peterbilt section of the 18-wheelers garage here at TTR. You might find a link or two directing you to what you need.

    Hopefully they didn't mess up the paint. 3M eraser wheel works good on the adhesive. Also a solvent called "orange peal" will make it wipe off with a rag, no sweat, or elbow grease required Shops that do lettering usually have that. 3 pages and still no pics..

    Called a friend (bodyman) and when he said "magic eraser" thought he was sh:mad:@?ng me, nope magic eraser. Works like a charm!
    Pics will come tomorrow. Worked ALL day on the decals, headlights, Those stupid Airtabs up both sides right accross the top... No fun... Almost 60 of them I think, painted ..badly.. With a spray bomb.. Headlights are coming around just about to start wet sanding the right one. Right side has moisture inside the lens will check with Peterbilt on how much they are , that will probably scare me, ill look on Ebay also.
    Thanks for the inspiration!!!

    Yep, I've seen 'em on ebay, you may also want to check a nearby boneyard that deals with commercial trucks.

    Finally, was beginning to think this truck was just some trucker fish story ;)

    Looks nice.

    Now we want pictures from the strip bars you and your dad stop at on first trip.
