I used to visualize myself in a Pete when i drove my F250. In 2024 i was fortunate enough to get my CDL & i’m currently writing this in the sleeper of my Peterbilt at a rest area in Greeneville,TN on my way to Fort Worth from Philadelphia. Don’t give up on your dreams! Even if it’s to be a janitor or the president. Keep on trucking! 🚛

    Big Cat with an 18 speed and that was the perfect combination to run any type of road across the entire US.

      @machinist7230 5 лет назад

      Homestly it doesnt. It needs a new hood, fenders, stacks and bunk. Most of it is either available new for the small stuff or used for the big stuff. The bunk is the biggest issue and that isnt that bad - a used studio sleeper can be had for 5 grand, and can be swapped in a weekend with some help. The cab appears undamaged, and assuming the frame is straight and the drivetrain good, he can put it right for under 10 grand.

But yes, if the cab is not racked, dump the sleeper, turn into a day cab, get a boc panel, fender, mirrors, fix the intake, not a lot on this one, other than it's a 98 and probably more than worn out already.
