Title may read “Just another snap kit” but it’s not nice clean build for sure and that first pic is very convincing looks like it could be in a 1985 Peterbilt 359 brochure. Great job on this.

Great updates Steve liking this build more and more.

Me too. Totally transforms them into what they Manufacturers should have done.

Wonder if he torque the bolts yet? I’m sure he will think of that next 😂 Awesome work.

Those are always neat looking I think. Awesome work going on here looks like your just about to work yourself off the bench 😂

Yes it is especially when it’s insane scratchery 😂

Look at all those goodies

That will be cool Gary. Back in 1991 I drove a Brand New Beautiful Peterbilt 379 that had a air ride front axle it was a little different than the old spring ride I was used to. I really didn’t like it because I couldn’t feel the road as much and actually rode a bit stiffer other like the 1989 Pete 379 I drove before that.

Awesome updates Gary looks like you have this one going your way so far. Waiting for next session. 😂

Exactly look at the labor of love.

Don’t you like it when ideas just stroll pass you on the Highway or just roll in the park lots 😂. Do it. Looks like that would be a fun build.

This is going to look very well Ron. Updates are nice great keep them updates coming.

Nice print I’m sure they will work great

Nice updates

Very kind words of you Jeff. I’ve had this idea for this truck for many years and I think it’s going to come true finally. Thanks for stopping by more updates soon.

His decals are very nice and he ships fast and gives you a tracking number and gives updates on your order. He’s very professional and I’ve already have a second order coming from him.

I just call them to see if they have the kit I want then ask them to take it to the front for pickup they have no problem with that. I live in the country so I don’t want to waste a trip into town if they don’t have what I want.

Jerry make sure you check the front axle height before installing the front axle you may have to shim it up a bit also adding the steering box was tricky for me but I figured it out the instructions are kinda vague on this. Last I would test fit the cab height also go ahead and add your bracelets to the rear to do this and the cab. That’s all I got so far it’s a nice kit to build goes together easy.

I bought 2 at Hobby Lobby

This was always my favorite paint scheme on the Cruise Liners

I’ve put the ICC Numbers on and added the sleeper to it. Next is to add some Don Mills Mirrors the Luberfiner, paint the visor and add the Mudflaps. Getting closer to being finished.

Today I found my old thread of this truck that I’ve been looking for several years. It just disappeared one day with all my other old threads now all my old threads are back again. So I’ll be updating on the truck here and updating on the Trailer on the other one I Originally was going to put a Cummins in this truck but opted out for a DD. Here’s the updated pics.

I used the L700 frame too. I had to lower the rear springs and block up the front for a good convincing stance. I also cut down the L700 interior and used it

Looks good Ken.
