Nicely done ! My brother had Diamond Reo dump truck and a highway tractor in white and green with gold accents in the early 80's. We also worked for an LTL fleet up here in Canada that ran green iron. I had a cream and green W900B tri-drive back in 2013. Favorite colors of all of our trucks over the years.

Tottaly kick ass ..emm. Yep great job...watched it all. I'm not picking on ya but....the fender edges or the lip. The raised part..if ya really make it pop I would give the gold. Even back fenders. I do all my trucks that way..KWs and Pete's. Try it...its a focus point peeps don't think about but ..its a little thing but adds a lot..im old school ..just think about it. First of the year working on a 73 Pete 352..i maybe gonna use that paint scheme ..nice. I've subscribed...keep it up ...even tho you've got me behind in my chores. Lol. Hey the fender thing works on Wks too. Try it...

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

thanks for checking out the builds. we will look into trying some of those paint schemes

[@kenchatham5939]

Absolutely awesome. I hope to be a customer before to long.

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

glad you like the trucks we build

[@larrymcintire9848]

Easier way to paint the stripes would be spray the stripes gold and then back mask to spray the silver. I always did it that way because it's faster/easier. Looks nice though! 👌

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

if you watched the video of the paint i explained we were planning on a two color paint scheme but after we put the paint down but before we cleared it we decided it needed another color to look right. so we had to add the gold to it the hard way and add the gold at the end. i explain it all in the video where we did the paint.

yeah this truck went to new jersey then was sold to a guy from here in iowa. when he bought it and brought it back to Iowa he had us go through it for him. their were some things that were changed on it that were cobbled together so we went though it and corrected any issues. glad it found a good home

The hood scoop throw the sleek lines of the truck off....shouldnt have been added. Just my opinion. I know people/owners like what they like. Bjt any hoo besides that, you guys did a good job. Nice looking truck!!

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

the hood cowl was something we wanted to try on the 379 because we had never seen one done on a peterbilt, that being said until it was painted my brother and i were up in the air about using this hood. After paint we liked the way it looked and was different so we kept it. We knew there could be a lot of hate on it but to be honest when you do something that creates comments good or bad on your youtube channel it really helps youtube push your videos. that being said we hat much more love for the hood cowl than hate so in the long run it worked out. everyone likes something different so we try to do new things sometimes. thanks for watching

[@dionst.michael1482]

@@McDonaldChromeShop Yeah, it's weird. I think an arguement could be made for both quite frankly. It doesn't look bad or better either way really. It's one of those decisions/custom accessories that really just boils down too personal taste and the overall build in general.

[@1218joker]

What kind of rivets did you guys used for the sleeper where the panels were and what size I am trying to do the same on my peterbilt thanks in advance keep up the good work 👌

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

Let me check

[@DUCATEA]

The engine bay wasn't masked up from overspray is that normal procedure....what extraction have you in the shop, it looks working....looks fantastic from here in London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

we use liquid mask. its a spray that we use then after paint we can just wash it off and there is no overspray

[@abuathal6745]

[@robertrutherford9057]

Well done. Don't like the hood but hey it was done right.

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

we knew during this build it would either be loved or hated with no in between, in this case thankfully most liked it. but we did get plenty of heat about it, some people get real but hurt about trying new things. lol

What is the turn around time from start to finish? Just wanna know for when I get more money saved cause I have an 04 w9 that I want to build instead of buying a new headache.

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

this one we did on and off, we slid other projects in between working on this one so hard to say. but if we stayed steady on it probably like 3 months since its mostly one guy on it with help once in a while. if we put all hands on deck and everything shows up on time could probably cut it to 3 months or less

[@nandonando2160]

Are those disc brakes I am seeing on the rear tandems?

Talladega fiberglass has great products but their shipping packaging needs improvement.

[@gsbgtiper455]

Hi very nice truck how much does a truck like this cost all together on the road to buy if you can tell me please thank

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

thanks, all depends on whats done but in this case with the pre-elog motor with fresh out of frame overhaul, 18 speed, disk brakes and everything else done to it we are currently asking $119,995 for this truck. We had a customer put money down on it this week to hold this truck and is making arrangments to fly in next week to pick it up so there is a good chance it is sold but we never consider anything sold till papers are signed. thank you for checking out the video on this truck

These trucks are made to work. Just try driving through Louisiana. You would have enough mushed bugs to make a Gumbo. The less chrome the better. Looks good but not practicable.

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

i hauled cattle in all 48 continental sates and canada for 10 years and we always had trucks that we built up nice. never had an issue we washed out trucks at least once if not more a week

[@St4ked]

Couldn't they leave it black. Murder it out. Black rims chrome hub caps. keed it flat top with Low visors front and sides. Blacked out 8" stacks. Round headlights with LED. Blacked out grill and a Lowerd suspension just a tiny bit.

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

Sure could, but that’s a pretty small group of people that want a murdered out truck. We need to sell these trucks when they are done. And quicker the better. We felt this appealed better to more people

[@clutchitup9861]

Blacked out anything is fucking retarded. It's literally the blandest, lack of any personality color scheme anything could ever have. That's my hot take and I'm sticking to it. Haha

depends on if your doing an inner sleeve or not. we always do an inner rail that extends usually 4 foot or more each direction of the split. we have never had a frame issue in the 20 years of doing this.

Ya I don’t get that either. You do all this work to the truck then don’t do the motor while your there. Steam clean it. Spray it all black and the top of the heads green. Powder coat all your intake piping green. Easy. Cheap. And looks good when you pop the hood.

[@tossedsalad5532]

I guess trying to polish a peterturd will still not make it a W900

no but they sell much faster then w900. to be honest my brother and i love w900's but they are just harder to sell. we have built many of those too just is much easier to resell the petes

🎼🎶Ruse👈😎👍.

[@russmartin5602]

Why wouldn’t you replace the center panel on the bunk instead of dicking around welding those mickey mouse patches in by the shock mounts?

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

i had this same question on facebook and ill explain it here also. When rebuilding a trucks as a business there are many aspects you have to consider during the build. 1st what is the end price you need to be under to be able to sell the truck and still turn a profit or you are out of business. 2. what are the most important things that need done to a truck to make it as valuable as possible to the potential buyer, (motor work, drive train, tires, brakes, accessories, ect... 3. how to make it the highest quality product and stay true to the first 2 mentioned above. ect... so with that said time equals money in a shop, and if i remember correctly there was 120 hucks in this one center panel which you would need to take out all the interior of the bunk to get to then grind off each huck, then drill out each huck, then buy a new panel for around $500 then ship for around another $125 then measure and drill 120 new holes, then rehuck all 120 holes, then reinstall interior. so it saved about 2 full days work $2,500 plus the $625 vs about 4 hours total labor $500 to have the same end result both in structure and looks. Which saved $2,625, so that is why we did it this way. Also that is why we show how we build the trucks so anyone interested in buying a curtain truck from us can see how it was built if they have any questions.

[@abdulledaifala8381]

How much for the paint job ?

[@McDonaldChromeShop]

it all depends on body condition of the truck when we get it. also if we are doing the tear down and installing all the new parts back on the truck of if the customer is. there are a lot of veriables
