    Just Traded For This Project. When The Local PETERBILT Store Tells You That The VIN Number That You Have On The TITLE On The DOOR TAG And On The PLATE Under Steering Column Is Not A Peterbilt VIN You Know They Are Not The People To Be Giving Advice Or Parts Or Any Help
    So I Started Looking And Found This Place. Looks To Be A Good Place To Hang Out

    I Have Been Around Trucks Most Of My Life. Was Around 15-16 When I Helped My Dad Cut A Single Axle Off And Slid A Tandem Axle Together In Our Driveway Drove Grain Trucks On Local Farm During Highscool. One Of Which WasGiven To Me Later In Life. Worked For A Oilfield Service And Drove Trucks For Them Worked For A Man And Built NASCAR Style Trailers Had Several 3500 Dodges And A Hotshot Service. Full DOT License Registeratin And All The Paperwork To Go With It

    Now This Is Just A Project For Fun. Maybe A Camper Tugger. Tractor Puller maybe Just Finish And Resale. Don’t Know Yet

    Not Very Educated With The Computer Thing But I Can Hunt And Peck. Will Probably Have A Lot Of Questions And A Lot Of THANK YOU’S
     
    SmallPackage, Sons Hero and Numb Thank this.

    Please replace the Freightliner wheels on it with Peterbilt or Alcoa. They desecrate the entire truck… ;) What engine and transmission does it have?

    Was Hoping I Would Hear From You. Have Read A Lot Of Information From You

    The Engine Dosent Appear To Be Original. It’s A NTZ290.
    The Transmission I Was Told It Is A 13 sod. Also Told It Is A 18spd
    Haven’t Driven On Road Yet. Not Enough Area On My Place To Figure Out
    Not Knowing How To Determine By Looking
    I Think It Was Born With 2 Transmissions

    It Has Had A Air Ride Rear Put On At Some Time In It’s Life. Not Knowing Make Or Model
    The Guy I Traded From Is Hard To Talk To And Or Believe
