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

Does it do the job you purchased it for?
Are you happy with the way it runs and drives?

The fact it is an older truck, parts are all over the place and for the most part very reasonable.
You should be able to do quite alot of any repairs work.

So the answer is most likely, yes, your deal was a good one.

 

If she answers your asking rolling on down the lane and does not give you any grief, what more can you ask for.

So you put some money into it. Hopefully that's all there is.

I would like to remind you to consider a airride seat. It's really easier on your body.

 

Sounds like you just looking for a pat on the back. Either way nobody can answer this question for you. You paid a lot of money for a paint job. More than you paid for the truck. You and your dad split the cost it sounds like.the truck didn’t need a paint job. It’s a work truck. So it sounds like you guys really wanted this 359 and clean it up to collector status as a priority more so than a work truck. Not sure how you wore out drives just cruising to town one trip with power divider engaged. It would take a hell of a lot more than just driving to town accidentally leaving it engaged

 

One minor quibble. Put a sheet of matte aluminum (Not shiny chrome gloss anything) over your Horn outlets behind the battery box. You don't want Mr Winter to splash slush and slop all over the horns until all you can do is talk with Mr Beep. That throws off many people when you bleat with the city horn because your mains are clogged from the winter unable to sound off.

 

Looks good, remember to take it to local truck shows, so that other can enjoy it also.

 

I hope you got a fat intake can with cyclone top on the other side of that hood. Im not certain what you are doing with that itty bitty one on the pas side. Ive been away from petes too long. Your stacks tell me either show boat or you actually have something that needs them fat pipe. Don't get me wrong, just keep a eye on that elbow set and Tees you do not want gases to sofficate you in there.
