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

Thats a nice farm truck, not a real steal by any means I don't think but doesn't look like you got robbed.

 

I think you did good. You're going to be all in for what, 25 grand? You'd depreciate that easily in 1 year on a new/expensive truck. Even if it works 1 year and then it's worth 0 you'd be about the same. And that isn't likely to happen. I think it's perfect for what you need it for.

That shift boot needs good securement, you know that already. It's going to get wet under there.

I say this. 25K all in more or less... That's not bad. I actually would not mind buying that for 30K it's too bad the sleeper is gone but it is what it is. And cannot be allowed to take away from it's new job as a farm truck.

Make sure your front bumper is secured and clear of your tires on the inside, I don't know what that left side inside bumper looks like but maybe take a look see under there.

Whomever did the frame in black and wheels in basic coat did a good job. Make sure you can drain all your tanks.

Load test your batteries, individuals. And make sure your alternator is not shoving too much voltage. Winter is coming. Have a set of nice deep cycles ready just in case with a trickle on each one.

Spare fuses, go over your permit book. Stickers, bingo cards and tags. See about your taxes, fuel and so on. The paperwork stuff.

I would not pay a dime more than that 30K but even then I would hold the line at 24K now that the sleeper is gone. If I didnt already know your outlay.

 

I hope those tow hooks are good and not pitted or rusting structurally.

The more I look it over the more I like it. You did good. She will need a little bit of love. 5 miles worth at a time.
