and i'm gonna run these Super singles on 22.5's

 

Holy crap! That is awesome.

What tranny are you gonna run?

 

Dude, totally sweet. Keep posting pictures thoughout the process.

 

Nice I want to see more pics when you get them
cool project

 

this has given me a few ideas

 

That is gonna be awsome. Keep posting pics thru out the transformation!

 

I'll keep posting pics as i go.. So what do you guys think? any questions or anything?

 

if that was a woman, id make sweet, sweet love to it.......if you lift it, put a set of long arms on it, ride 10 times better. are you gonna run a regular, dually bed or flat bed, see if you could find a short sleeper to throw on the back for storage between the bed and cab if there is room, what kind of front hood/fender/bumper combination are you gonna run? oh and you GOT TO run a set of aluminum saddle tanks on each side.

 

You just make me feel all happy on the inside. So what all are you gonna do with it? Pull a nice big trailer, or use it as show?

 

I am going to Run a Custom Hauler bed if i can find someone to make me one.
I am building a Cubby sorta thing that will be like 13" long sleeper with tool boxes as tall as the cab on both ends.
I am going to run the redular Pete hood that came off that truck and either the stock pete bumper or a Texas style bumper
and i am still deciding what i am gonna do with under the cab right now i am thinking i'll fab up some Running board kinda thing that run from the back of the fender to the front of the bed.
O no this truck will earn its keep i plan on pulling a 25+5 or a 20+5 20,000# gooseneck to pull our equipment around. But i will take it to the rod run and local shows just for the heck of it

 

o and i'll hook to the sled at least once a month

 

BCB, Cool project you have goin, it looks like alot of work to do. I like the idea of a Texas Bumper, the aluminium saddle tanks, and a custom hauler bed. Another good one is to relocate the batteries to the Step/battery box like on a big rig. I think a stainless drop visor would look good on it too.

 

if your gonna put a big rig cab on it, you might as well use everything else big rig.

 

I ordered the Dually adapters for the front and 4 8-10 adapters today so i have $3400 in wheels, tires, adapters pretty good huh? i got a lot of stuff half price

 

Whatever was the outcome of this project ??


There is a white Peterbilt running around in my area that has had the cab extended to be a four-door and looks really neat.
