Chris guthro Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hey Guys! im just wondering if the bill signs peterbilt comes with the 60'' sleeper ? if so, are both sets of frame rails relatively the same that you get in the kit? because i have the idea of building the bill signs pete as a heavy hauler with the bunk. So if probabley have to use the extra set of frame rails to extend it. Is it molded in white?Just wondering because mine is on its way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckabilly Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Yes, Bill Signs comes with the 60" sleeper. Both sets of rails are the same length, difference is in the rear tandem span and some molded on details. Besides the sleeper the kit also includes drive shafts for both versions, the exhaust tubing, the gas and air tanks, the air filters, the frame steps, the sleeper roof deflector, the headache rack and some other details. There might be some variations in the molds color for different markets. Here in central Europe I got the chassis parts in darkish grey, the engine and the sleeper parts in light grey. Not too sure about the cab and hood, I think they were white. Cheers, Jarda Edited January 28, 2012 by truckabilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 are the normal 359 frame rails longer than the bill signs ones? thanks for the info, if anyone built this kit in a different way please post pictures! i want some inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJRV8 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Chris the cab is a very light grey. The frame rails are longer than the Bill Signs, they are the rails used for the normal 359 kit. You have the option to build a complete Bill Signs frame or the 359 frame. Here is one I built, I used the Bill Signs frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 That trucks is sweet looking John!! I am wondering how hard it is to mount the suspension from bill signs style to the regular 359 frame to get the extra length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Chris, why don't you just stretch the heavy haul frame using the regular 359 frame? that's what I've always done... Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogie7046 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Chris: Its not that hard to section the frame and add the rear part to the other frame rails to get the length you need since both frame rails are the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Chris, here is my version I built mine as a heavy haul, I had trouble with the hood and doors but everything else went together ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catd11rpusher Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hay guys you both did a very nice job on the trucks, I like the flames on the first truck nice. I hope mine comes out nice like your builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yea i think ill section the heavy haul frame. I think the 60 inch sleeper would make this truck! these builds are amazing guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
