On this episode I removed the old sleeper interior panels in preparation for the updated interior I'm having made by the @daycabcompany. I also finally got around to removing the old rusty roof panel and replaced it with a new fiberglass roof cap #peterbilt #fibertech #littlebylittle
Wow what a job I am impressed and yes jack Daniels I live only about an hour from the distillery drink up you deserve it🥃🥃🥃
Your wife must really love you to let you work so much on your Pete. I can wait to see it finished
You're my go-to with my morning coffee. Great way to start off the day. Thanks for sharing
Wow you are an animal!!!! Great job I can’t believe u tackled that huge job all by yourself !!!! Again ...great job my friend
Nice goin with the kw style button tuck upholstery 🤤🤤🤤👍👍👍👍👍
Wow man ! Respect ! 💪🏻 In the cold with snow & ice, changing the roof from that Pete !
Keep up the good work ! Can’t wait till it’s finished...........
I like it, watchin’ in my chair close to the heather 😜
As a piece of advice: clean all the rust from the structure, use some convertors, epoxy primer, some paint and after that just use windshield glue to fix the cap. Will seal perfectly, its durable and easy to apply. But you must fix the glue.
To insolate the sleeper and the cabin use some car audio sound deadening in two layers: firs one: some rubber and aluminium type such as stp or less expensive brands and the second one from closed cell foam type. Thicker the better for both layers. Hope you will read and consider the advice. I can help you with any details.
Awsome job. I can't imagine the struggle to do all that work in the cold.
7 lights and horn delete, excellent choice !....might want to do the windshields while the visor is off, cheap and fairly easy. The cold will make the gaskets harder to work with though. " It's better than mud" : )....Keep up the good work!
You make awesome vids
Well said!
Just watching this make me feel cold! Doing a grand job, looking good.
Again kudos for doing this alone and in the elements, always impressed. Your correct now is the time to insulate not only for the cold but helps a/c if you have it plus noise. Also if you're running a cb you could run 18ft of coaxial cable over the roofs or relocate to a single antenna of the back of the sleeper. ( cleans up the mirrors). Merry Christmas. 👍
I was watching along as you started pulling into the garage and I thought to myself, that's about 2 gallons of water on that hood that is going to go straight to the shop floor!!
Joke was on me, never melted!!
Great progress. Thanks for sharing.
Just fell on your channel 2 days ago. Since then I've watched every episode of you restoring that amazing Peterbilt. Trucks in the UK pale in comparison I love the old American trucks especially the 2 greats Peterbilt and Kenworth. Anyway its been a real pleasure to watch you so far. Its great how your daughter shows an interest too. Look forward to future episodes have a great Christmas to you all. 💪
A Peterbilt to us here is a Scania to you guys over the pond. We don't have those here...they won't even ship us a Scania shirt.
@@adamfrbs9259 Yes your right Adam but there is just something about american trucks that does not exist anywhere else. I remember when I was a kid all my matchbox trucks where Kenworth and Peterbilt there where no European trucks in sight 😂😂 no its fair to say you guys build awesome trucks 👌👌
@@kadien2006 true, you should see the guy in Iowa, they don't mess around, beautiful Peterbilt trucks.
I had Optimus Prime Matchbox and the bigger one too haha.
Come on over the pond sometime, I'll take ya to see some cool trucks. Kinda a somewhat famous fuel hauler I see every week has a pretty amazing fleet of fuel trucks with all custom trailers.
Round trip flights aren't too bad if ya book early enough, and you can crash at my place for free. In the summer though when the best truck shows are on.
Well TwinSticks, I been watching y'all since you started this one. So very long ago. And, I've seen you do all yer own work, on pretty much everything, except the gearbox rebuild. You did what you could afford, when you could afford. So, doing this roof cap, was saved until the more important and sometimes pricier things were done and out of the way. Right? So doing the cap now, was done now, because it was time and affordable, I would guess. It is called "Little By Little," right? And 'little by little,' some of us are just getting more and more jealous. Great job on getting the sleeper cleared out, fabulous job on taking the roof off. You could have called Bestop and asked if they had a convertible top for Pete's, probably not, but it would be worth the laugh, I mean try. Keep the vids coming Sir. Greetings from Ontario finally. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Best wishes for you and the family!
Great job lots of hard work there
I remember hearing "I should repair this roof cap before I do anything else, but I'm too lazy to remove these huck bolts"
-zzz
Keep up the good work. I love the keep on truckin sticker on inside of your visor.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄.Great video can’t wait till next years.
I am in the UK, I love old American truck iron, I like your channel, I wish we had the space here for storage that you guys have! Subscribed!
Great video, yes closing the door for mice. A nice cap replacement. Can’t wait for next videos✌🏽
I've been here since the beginning and I'm proud to see what all you have accomplished. Hopefully once I graduate I can start the restoration of my Grandfathers Mack B61. Keep up the good work!
Little by little. I've been watching since you started and shared it with my brother and he watches also. Nice to see it coming back to life. Thanks for the great videos.
Great job on the roof. I know it's hard to do by yourself but great job.......👍
Excellent!!! Maybe you can come over and do mine too! It’s just a day cab... lol You put a lot of inspiration for me to keep making these kind of repairs on mine!
@5:40. Love the keep on trucking sticker!!
I enjoy all of your videos. Very well done, very interesting. The Pete is looking great!
I have a suggestion for your sleeper. You've mentioned in earlier video's that you are going to be using this truck for recreation, pulling your camper and such. Why not add some side windows to the sleeper, remove the bed and stick in a couple captains chairs or maybe a nice bench seat out of an SUV. It would make it nicer for family traveling. Just my opinion. That being said, you have done a fantastic job bringing this rig back to life. Keep On Trucking!
Such tenacity. Just amazing. Merry Christmas.
Keep up the good work, you inspire me to work on my rat rod.
curious to see how this fits. you are doing it right replacing the old rust.
Man youve got some determination and patience. You deserve every bit of pleasure you get out of this truck, you worked your knackers off on it.
I hope that foam will not squick when you drive on a bumpy road.. greets from Poland. Keep on going LBL ;)
Irish spring soap really works for mices
Luv your determination mate. Definitely looking good so far. I've watched every episode and cant wait for final result. 👍
Avid viewer from over the pond
Awesome work and really enjoy the videos. Merry Christmas.
I love this truck! Also for some reason I really like the aged paint on the truck. The fenders being different color adds a really cool element to the truck too. Great job on this beauty!
Evan Is Bored ya I’m diggin the different colour fenders ... May have them and the roof caps painted black when I repaint the truck
TwinStick Garage that would look really neat
Man this truck is coming together. Hope to see it on the road someday!
Great job dude looking great wait to get her painted looking great
Bit by bit. Good job young man.
Nice job Mark. Man I could just feel your tiredness in your voice and gasps when you removed the old cap and put on the new one. But great sense of accomplishment. Long day!
Good work, TwinSticks! It would be nice if you had a friend close by that you could have went in together on your old truck restorations and shared in both the cost and work. Many times two hands (and heads too) are better than one and definitely faster. But you are getting it done by yourself anyway. Also, maybe a couple of scaffolds or a folding ladder with a bridge on either of them would be useful for working on the high spots so that you did not have to put that wooden thing on the hood. Keep up the good work!
love it awesome
Bigger heated shop and a extra set of hands would be priceless!🤔😂Nice job!👍
I've been following along since the beginning... I've learned so much about these machines. Very good videos... It's probably too late, but I'd fix all the metal rust issues around the roof top, especially the visor panel, before putting the roof back on... It looked like there was some rust going on on the passenger side window frame.. Just like the roof replacement.. Do it now, and don't wait until later. It'll only more difficult later. Good luck
Well at least the W900a is alum cab with fibreglass roof from factory! I spray foamed the inside of my w900a fews years ago I donno if it helped with the sound but at least there is less places for the mice to live!!!
Well done!
Lol just as I was thinking " Ummm ..you should be wearing a mask" you said mentioned it.
So many don't know just how serious that even the micro dung dust can kill also.
It's good to see the progress you are making on that beautiful old 'Pete. She's going to be a real looker once you're done fixing her up!
Merry Christmas!
Ah. Never mind. You found it. Good!
I've been watching your channel from the very beginning. You have come a long way and have had to do most of the work in the snow. I can't wait to see the Pete finished and project Snowman started. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hey, nice job. Done the same last month. Regards from Germany. I keep watching your channel!
As you said "little by little" great vid as always and yes you certainly earnt your JD today! Have a great Christmas and roll on a warm dry new year! 👍
Thank God I live in Alabama. I HATE FREAKING SNOW! We just have to dodge tornados!
Nice 👌
Looking good!!
Love your channel. I have a 1993 IH 9400 and a 2004 IH 8600 for the farm. Would love to trade them for 359 PETES! Thanks for inspiration!
You can drill them out too...especially on the back ones towards the sleeper..
Merry Christmas, these videos are great. The Pete is looking good.
I'm glad that fit without any trouble! You are probably going to have to take the sleeper off to get the huck bolts in on the back side. If you go back to the video where you were fixing the roof before the sleeper was on, you will find my comment telling you to quit wasting time patching the roof and to replace it before you went any farther. I worked in a truck repair shop for a few years and was wondering why you putting all that stuff on just so you have to take it off again. I admire your tenacity to keep at it though. I know you were just excited to get her rolling. If it were mine, I would go ahead and get all that frame work for the roof and overhead console cleaned up and painted before you put the roof on. Way easier to take care of the rust now than when the lid is on! Can't wait for the finished product though, gonna be a nice ride for sure!
Interesting as usual well done doing the job without any help. Merry Christmas to you all.good video
installing a come along from the beam will help you lift heavy projects like that would be a good thing to install
Great video
Keep en coming
Biggest fan
Hey from Jamaica
This is evidence of a determined engineer starting an epic restoration and seeing it through, big respect to you my friend👍🏻 I’m in the UK and just love cold weather so I can relate to you working in the elements, my middle lad is in Oz and keeps telling me it’s so hot and I should come over there but nope 38/40 degrees C is a hell for me sir! However please keep the videos coming as they are awesome
When is the next video? I'm so excited.
Merry Christmas sir! Phenomenal job on the roof cap R&R. Look at it this way, at least you now have a blue snow sled that can fit the whole family. Have a Beam and Dr. Pepper on me! Proud of you sir.
Merry Christmas to yours and a happy new year.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🏻
Lol I don't care what people tell you I like the square horns lol looking great keep it up
It’s really coming along now. Really enjoyed your videos this year. Have a great Christmas and see you in 2020!
Nice videos!!
Happy New Year mate!! Hoping for a good 2020! 👍🏼
Some jobs are tedious, like this one, but regardless if it should have been done, it's done now. Looks good, and you can clean up the area where it fits --- rusts and scale and so forth, and move on to the next task. Rectangular horns and round headlamps....I never thought about it I guess. I like the rectangular headlamps regardless. Hopefully, no more varmint homesteads now. Looks real nice TS.
Love this! You are my absolute favorite Canadian! Thanks for the vid. and Merry Christmas!
Just repair the rust on steel before puttin new cap on!
Nice videos!
Paul Robberts Yeah, finally someone with a bit of sense, was waiting for someone to make that comment, instead of wasting all that energy to take the cap up, then down, when everyone knows it’s gonna fit, they wouldn’t be in business if they didn’t fit, spend the time getting the cab rust free and perfect first. 😃👍
Old roof can be used as downhill sledge :)
Merry Christmas! An awesome job as always!
NIce job, and AMEN to a glass of bourbon. Merry Christmas!
Amazing work, been watching since the beginning! You should use rust converter and paint the Viser before putting new cap back on.
You are one patient dude...Keep up the good work...Merry Christmas from us here in Manitoba...See you in 2020...
That roof cap really kicked your ass but looking good. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
now that is totally awesome video and a marry Christmas to you and your family
That's a 379 model sleeper. can tell by the look of the interior, I had a 1987 379 when first came out. the big opening didn't come until 1994 when went to the Unibilt system.
Love these episodes, bro. Good lookin rig.
Hey job well done, maybe put some silicone around the edges so it well sealed and snug? Just a tips great videos.
Check into auto body panel adhesive instead of huck bolts. Might save time and aggravation. Spray the inside of the sleeper with truck bed liner, should work as a good sound deadener.
you had 3 episodes when I started following, great work, I've learned a lot from watching you. I hope you didn't get spark pits in the window glass from using the grinder. keep up the good work LBL will a truck anyone would be proud to own.
Great job on this old classic, Can't help but wish you had stuck with original style air cleaners. New ones look great but the originals were Northland Classics & let every one know it's not your average Large Car. I drove a truck like that back in the day hauling cattle from Alberta to Washington St. It was 359 built just before the change over. That truck is still roaming around southern BC with a few million miles on it.
am i the only 1 who laughed when he said " alrighttt got ourselves a convertible! haha , lmao
Tec Savage should have said daddy, the top came off 😂
Looks great but you should replace that metal in there with some sheet metal before you screw it down awesome video keep them coming
merry Christmas ol buddy. Cheers from Maryland!
Cool! err, yucky mice... Merry Christmas big guy! To you and your family!
Sleeper looks cosy
I know some may argue with me on this but I’m old school And I think trucks with the horns makes it a real truck. That’s what people see and want you to do is blow the horn. Train horn are fun but not the same. Still enthralled vids and restoring.
That is a early 379 sleeper. Easy way to tell.. 359 had big door on the right side farther forward and didnt have a closet on the right side. I drive a 1981 359 and 1 thing I would suggest since your taking the interior out is put a bigger hole in the sleeper and cab. It would allow you to move you seat into the bunk. It gets your knees away from the dash.
Stuart Schultz ya I’m aware the 359d has double doors but I have seen a few 1987 359’s with the same sleeper as this with a single door leading me to think that there are a few late late model 59’s with this style of sleeper. 10-4 on the big hole - would sure be nice to do 👍
Looking great little by little..... straights sound super amazing!!!! Ever thought about a drop visor?
A 50/50 mixture of peppermint oil and cinnamon oil keeps the mice out of my equipment and trucks . And it smells good!
Works wonders !!
You well earned that cup o jack daniels !
I was the 358th like, I should of waited 😂
Looks good brother. Way to go.
Nice, good joob
1st step in a restoration, have a shop that the project fits in. Merry Christmas !
K.D. Pearce haha ... where’s the fun in that?😆
