    I'm a die hard 359 and 379 Peterbilt fan so if you don't get it running right you have a nice looking yard ornament. From the angle I'm looking at, it looks like about a 260" wb. If you ever want to stretch it to a 280" I doubt you will regret it. Nice truck!

    you’re right, it is 260 inch… I prefer the look of 280, but I’ll probably leave it the length it is, I think some of the hog barns I load at were designed for a Louisville Ford. And when I pull tanker, some of the county roads are goat paths, and it’s all a fellow can do to wrestle 260 around. And I have convictions about having to back up for a second try while making a corner! The bunk fairings are 100% coming off the back though, I hate them things.

    My wife and I went out with some friends last night to eat Mexican food. The place we went to is absolutely top shelf!! I got the beef quesedilla plate with habanero rice and charro beans instead of the plain rice like you had and blender beans that they call refried beans. They do the same thing here. If you ever eat real refried beans you'll know what I mean, and what you have on your plate ain't refried beans. But I digress. The rice was really good and not as spicy as I thought it would be, but the charro beans took up the slack on the spicy side.
