The radiator supports have to be removed from the cowl and tied to the frame instead, not to the motor. Per Cliff Wilkins at Wilkins truck in Tonkawa, Ok. Owner of 3 numbered 359s, all of which I can't afford... But... I'll have another big chunk of $ into this old ride in a month... No Rest For The Wicked...

Wow... What a nasty job to gut an old sleeper after some old stinky bedbugger has lived in it for 10 years and it's sat in a salvage yard for almost that long...

We got a '94 waiting to go to paint now. 3-4 week waiting period. Maybe won't take you as long.

I'm sure the mechanics going to have it for at least a couple of weeks +, been trying to talk to the guy who paints his, but he hasn't called back yet... I plan on using a light silver fine metallic urethane with a factory stripe scheme from the mid 80s. If he can't do it when Cory is done, I'll upgrade my compressor and shoot it myself... I've shot metallic urethane before myself... been about 11 years since and you gotta keep moving, but I got an old 54 ford Jubilee to practice on...

Was just on 4 states cite pricing the 4 headlight set up to bring it back from the rat rod look to the more classic Pete lights, $600+tax isn't too bad on the pair. Cheapest I seen for the set with the crystal lights which I like the best.

No brother... BELIEVE this... A male unneutered cat... Smells like old ### cat spray... Freaking gross people that can live with that... I'd rather my 7 year old Basset hound shake his head and sling slobber all over me... of course I'd still cuss him out for doin it...

Hey fellas, i got a question that i have had answered a couple different ways by people that probably have no idea what they're talking about. I have 1988 Pete 379 exhd. , with a 36 inch sleeper. Which needless to say is non unibilt. I want to open the hole up to a unibilt size. Is it as simple as buying a unibilt ring and boot, then cut the hole out. Or is there more to it than that. I'm not interested in air ride. I'm leaving cab and sleeper frame mounted. I would greatly appreciate any help y'all can send my way. Thanks.
