Extended hood or short hood??

Once this Peter makes me some revenue it will look good as well, I measured her up and it is an extended hood. Transmission first, ECM on a computer next, then exhaust, Moose bar and a few lights. That is all I have planned for it for awhile.

 

This is a work truck, not a show truck, but even a work truck needs some class!

 

She's is an Oilfield truck, the suspension has already been worked over, Hell she's practically new underneath. Even though the mileage is at 812k the in-frame was done by Peterbilt in Dickinson, ND barely over a year ago, the Stupid-10 transmission is a year old, both rear differentials are 6mos old and all the axles were replaces with high dollar chrome moly 46,000 pounders. Believe it or not, the wiring is virtually unmolested. The ONLY complaint I have is the fuel mileage, it is atrocious, but with a transmission swap and getting the torque above the base 1,450 and the horses above 425 she will do much better. This Super-10 is only rated for 1,400ft /lbs and when Peterbilt rebuilt everything they set her back to factory specs.

 

I wish I made enough to dress mine up. Peterbilt just told me to replace (upgrade) my transmission will cost $8,000
