Peterbilt 359 Restoration Ep. 38 Flooring and Seats

#littlebylittle359 #twinsticks #twinstickgarage
On this episode I installed a new floor and Legacy seats

[@jefffranks6213]

What are you talking about that floor came out perfect couldn't have done any better. Great videos keep them going. Can't wait to see the first time back on the road. Happy anniversary!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

There are some of us owner ops who would definitely not be bored with this project, even if it was a 5 part min series. Knowledge is key, and you're providing that.

I know exactly how you feel, I'm fixing my Dads old 79 Pete daycab that he gave me. My truck sat for 11 years. I have a 290 small cam Cummins with a 13 speed. This past weekend I finally Drove her to a weight station that was just down the road so i didn't go through all 13 but, I knew that's where i wanted to be, in my 79 Pete. For the Past year I have been getting it running, cleaning it, installing lights, rewiring almost everything, buying tires and installing them myself. Now I have a power steering leak i need to fix and some other little odds and ends. But just like what you say, "little by little". By the end of the project (if there is an end) it'll be worth it. After this truck, I'm moving on to our 82 Western Star. Thank you for the videos and taking the time to film them man, I really enjoy your content.

Kalando82 82632380 if you need any 359 parts Dans Shop is hands down the best for old Pete parts.

[@bodymxnai]

I'm from Brazil, and i don't understand 1% what you say, but i whatch all vídeos just by images and i'am loving this. Congratulations for this job and i so exciting to see this truck finished and traveling in USA roads.

[@jetenginethrust863]

Congratulations on your Anniversary. Love your dogs name Biff, same name as my friend the lead singer of the band SAXON, Biff Byford. So happy for you "Little By Little" is almost ready to rock on the road. Take care & GOD Bless...

[@sucapizda]

Biff lol. You look rural. Id be down the road boggin it hard and fast for a test. Happy anniversary!!

[@gaminggrandpa24]

Looks great from a disable truck driver from the state's. Drove for 28 years love them old Petes

[@stinkypinky6148]

Happy Anniversary! Should taje the wife out in the truck lol. Lots of respect for not taking it out on the road without all the safety requirments, at least on camera. Looking good so far

[@ryanmilligan9372]

The Pete is looking great and coming along nicely!

[@brandonsmith4551]

Beautiful truck. Shes coming together nicely. My father bought a mid-late 60's Kenworth W900 day cab we might be restoring and adding a sleeper. 8v71 2 Stroke Detroit backed with twin stick transmission. Shes rough but could be a gorgeous ride!

[@zukowski2023]

Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner! Floor worked out very nicely. Seats look great (wish I had those in my old Star!). Looking great Sir, keep on rolling, the line is in sight.. Cheers! It's a team effort, congrats to you and the wife, together you will getter done!

[@7.3psd90]

You don’t know how much I enjoy see you post a new video. I’ve been watching since you pull the old girl out of the field. Keep um comin!!

[@mrd2u1]

Darrin here and I'm from New Zealand I've been quietly watching your build and have been enjoying it thank you for the entertaining experience and I bet that old truck will run nice when you get too take it Down the road

[@BlindBatG34]

The floors look nice. But you have to admire the brute honesty of children. :D

[@tnmoe-]

CAD is every fabricators first taste of design ;) Cardboard Aided Design for those not in the know

[@thecolonel4037]

Yes, check out "Project Binky".

[@tnmoe-]

THE COLONEL - Hell's yeah! That car being so well fabricated it's scary to think they'll actually thrash on it!

[@fedrooster]

My dad drove a 379, I remember going in trips with him when I was 12 or 13. I was a skinny kid and had a hard time squeezing between the factory seats to get in the sleeper. Those seats look nice but they take up a lot of real estate. Keep plugging away, I love watching your progress.

[@8788bb]

Amazing. There is nothing wrong with how you do it if you put your heart into it. Great job.

[@gavinnutting1003]

Love watching the video series from start to finish to see how far the truck has come.

[@alexanderfredrickson243]

Love watching all your videos on the old pete I work on 379 and 389s cant wait to see the next video you post

[@marrob357]

Dude you got MAD Mechanical Skills!! Once I started watching I couldn't stop. Every episode!!

[@waltereldridge9447]

Floors look great and the seats fit nicely. She's coming together great, Little by Little. 😊👍👍

[@kman-mi7su]

Happy Anniversary, I've wanted to re-do my 94 Mack Ch I've owned since new and still work. If I spend the money the wife would kill me especially with my daughter going into her senior year of high school and her brother a rising junior. Colleges and even trade schools ain't cheap! So I gotta wait and live vicariously thru you I guess.

[@alwaysplayingwithtrucks5630]

Don't need no high stakes or nothing you build pretty Bad ass Rig sir.

[@eyeballdude]

For sure you’ve earned that big smile on your face! What could be better than a test drive in your beautiful truck with your beautiful wife in beautiful weather! Happy anniversary you guys!!

[@nmarkose]

I’ve been watching the restoration videos from the beginning. I’m not even a trucker. Awesome bro!

[@martinhowe3679]

thank you my weekly fix great work love this project really looking forward to seeing her go down the road happy anniversary to both of you

[@metalman065]

Awesome job on the floor... Looks sharp, I like it... It's your deal, but would look sharp with brass trim..

[@bostarbird5282]

Looking good. Love the floor. They make seats with swing away armrests but a bid price tag comes with them. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@Ruddster6]

I am so excited to see the progress you have made. I am looking forward to seeing it ready to take on the mean streets.

[@rickzar4688]

Amazing work the old girl it’s looking beautiful. Great job 👍🏼

[@ehhjeep]

Perfect headlamps for a 359. I like the flooring also.

[@nathanhormann55]

got back from a wedding, congrats Shawn and Malinda! Whoooooooooooooooo!

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Any man listening to Bob Wills is still the King, is a good guy.

[@ryanbailey39]

That flooring goes excellent with the blue door panels

[@bushranger2]

Great job of the floor mate! I too, love how easy this thing starts! You're doing a wonderful job bringing the old girl back to life!

[@Gcal1956]

Somewhere a old retired trucker who used to run these old trucks is shedding a tear knowing these are almost gone.

[@maartenbos8346]

As in all your previous videos you don’t give yourself enough credit for an excellent job. I really enjoy watching the progress you make every week.

[@gregory2622]

AWESOME video! Happy Anniversary. 😎👍👍

[@bgreasy6318]

I've been watching this since you first picked it up. I'm very impressed by your sheer willingness to just keep going and fixing all the stuff nobody wants to do and this truck is really becoming a beautiful piece of equipment. Congrats on all the hard work accomplished! A fellow diesel mechanic ...

[@rudedog302]

I was thinking just before you said it that the shift boot would probably cover up your mistake. Like that floor. Like the small rounds on a 359, everybody wants to either put the Big rounds on, or they want to fit the 389 headlight assemblies to their truck to make everyone think it's a new truck. Tell her she can put carpet in her Peterbilt, when she gets one. Whoa there, stainless screws, those sheet rock screws are going to rust like crazy. I have that exact seat in my 379. You could take your RH arm rest off, if need be, I never use mine, with all the shifting I do, it just gets in the way. Great video, great progress.

[@louiskats5116]

The smile on your face & the look of relief & satisfaction absolutely priceless, everytime I see your video they are inspiring & emotional. Keep the great work going. Great floor work looks awesome Happy Anniversary all the best to you & your family.

[@warrenholmar1129]

Happy Anniversary to you and your wife loved this update that floor looks great And as a truck driver myself yes you want air in the seat... on the other hand you don't want to be at the top of the travel either..... or you hit a bump and end up leaving the seat...

[@keitht7546]

Great job on the floor. That is one thing is getting past the seats to get in the sleeper. That old girl starts and run good that shows she was well taken care of before she was parked to rest by the last owner and the work you did to awaken her. ✌🏽

[@briansanocki1339]

ive been following from early on (not beginning but its deff hooks you when u can binge watch 9-10 episodes all at once) but the smile on your face at the end speaks volumes! im so happy for you yet so jealous your out the turning the wrenches getting dirty making it yours! your doing great hopefully by (before) episode 50 theyll be videos of you tearing up the highway!

[@kellykonoske91]

The last few years I drove, I ran with my seat much lower too. Found it was much easier on my knees!

[@DohosanV]

Great video glad to see your daughter? Helping out. I always look forward to seeing your videos when you post. Everything else goes on hold till I'm done watching. Thanks for sharing your project.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BattleBornCowboy]

Always a good video! Please keep them coming, I love the attention to detail and the passion you show!

[@paulelliott2861]

You done one hell off a job so far my friend. That cab looks sweet. Top job. I’m in the uk ( London) I’m ex trucker would love to give that rig a burn round London in her. Go down some off our small roads 🤣🤣🤣 keep going buddy. I love the old trucking movies too . I’m on episode 38 my nightly watch two or three a night. So that’s for the uploads great watch. Keep on trucking. Stay safe mate. Best wishes from the uk 🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👌

[@johncoleman5128]

Hey dude you are doing a amazing job with that truck, can't wait to see the finished product. # keepontruckin🚛🚛🚛

[@peteparker7396]

Floor looks awesome! Great job! If I may make a suggestion on the headlights? I know you said you were getting a set or the original mounts,,,, but! If you can,,, get a set of double J. brackets. The lights won’t vibrate goin down the road, and they stay tighter with the double J’s.

[@fordy2604]

You beat yourself up too much fella the work you’re doing on that truck has been done beautiful. And it’s gonna be one proper old Pete. Keep it up fella 👍 regards from south London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@daeshbagcentral5298]

Great videos,watching the seasons come around again and you keeping on keeping on. Great satisfaction just watching you work so give yourself a big pat on the back. Best Regards from the U.K.

[@thegingerhustle3173]

Just watched this serious from start to finished this week. Loved watching a man building his dream. I'm here in Lancaster England wishing we had off street parking so I could have a project. Best of luck with this, looking forward to the rest of the project Cheers Rob Your fan from the other side of the pond

[@stinkypinky6148]

Hold on a sec. At 12:30 Waylon playing the Dukes of Hazzars theme. Love it. Starts very easy and sounds great

[@KingDrefromDaA]

Brother that's looks perfect to me you are an inspiration dude, anytime I get lazy on doing stuff to my truck I see one of your videos and I'm inspired to get off my butt

[@nanomike2069]

After watching your rebuild I wish I never sold my old 359 !!! Nice job glad to see the older Pete’s still going down the road !! I had a 87 with a Kta 600 two sticks !!!!

[@jerrythegaffer]

[@neilfairless4589]

Looking sweet. Great colour choice.

[@bush600r2]

Good job mate she's coming along beautifully. That floor looks great! Can't wait to see you rolling her down the open road, She's a real beauty!

[@gaiaalfa9949]

This project is looking nice I think it would look better with straight pipes bit it's looking really cool

[@TwinStix]

Gaia Alfa don’t worry, they’ll be straights eventually 😉

[@davem3789]

Floor looks nice. Way more practical than carpet.

[@dennisritter9255]

Really starting to come full circle , keep up the work !!!!!

[@OldIronRC]

Excellent work. Love the reward for a job well done on the floor, start it up, take a short drive.

[@bobbydixon257]

That's a beautiful job👍👏

[@davidlj53]

Love the flooring, it looks great and it’ll be easy to vacuum.

[@19SheffLex87]

Beautiful. I’m trying to do same thing in my Volvo. New rubber floor mat is $500+ from a dealer and truck is 15 years old. You did an amazing job.

[@dama3979]

Great following you with this project going to miss the videos when you’re done

[@TwinStix]

[@fredator5818]

Sorry for my English. I have discovered your Channel and i like your restoration. Very good job. À french dreamer who like americans trucks ans muscles cars.

[@trailerprepper]

[@leelaters3437]

359 TwinSticks You must have a very understading wife. Lol. Is 900A a Kenworth? Im in London so not that familiar with American model names.

[@Sixinthefield]

@@leelaters3437 Yes, it's a KW model

[@aidanridings8452]

Really nice loving it good job keep it up 👍👌

[@johnkinnane547]

[@TheCripptKeeper]

Lovin the content and love the truck from a fellow Albertan (Grande Prairie), 359 has to be my favourite Pete and with the twin sticks 👍, definitely looking forward to more updates on the progress of ‘Little by Little’.

[@florentinopascual276]

Es admirable toda la evolución que has hecho con esa cabeza tractora desde el primer capítulo absolutamente solo es admirable tu trabajo y está quedando espectacular enhorabuena por la pasión qué ha puesto y deseando de verlo enganchado con una bonita plataforma

[@the_lost_navigator]

Happy anniversary, TwinSticks. May your wife and you enjoy many more 'gears' together ;)

[@NikolitheRussian]

I think that floor is perfect!

[@adambailey9773]

I have been toying with the idea if doing this in both my 359 and my 379. After seeing your I'm not thinking anymore.

[@jasonwilliamson5464]

Absolutely beautiful been watching sense episode 1 I love it my petercar loving brother

[@KingDrefromDaA]

Happy anniversary to you and Mrs 359twinsticks!

[@oswaldmarquez4543]

I love the flooring in the the cab. It looks great.

[@edwardmolloy7548]

That floor looks bloody mint! You can be proud of yourself on that. From a truck driver in New Zealand my biggest pet hate was carpet in the cab, awful to keep clean!

[@DieselDoc78]

You keep saying it’s far from perfect, but it sure as hell looks perfect from here! It seriously looks factree to quote vice grip garage. Nice job sir! Sure are some nice seats for that old narrow ass cab. Be needin a trampoline to get into the bunk without some swing away armrests. Again, great job, man!

[@braydenkremmer9042]

Well done mate you getting there at least it runs and the floor is pretty great I like it

[@ChallisVenstra]

I sell truck tires. I see trucks roll in and out all day. I would love to see yours roll through my shop. I’ve enjoyed seeing the time and effort you’ve put into yours. “Mate, you’re welcome at my fire anytime.”

[@chrisperry7963]

Love this project, definitely moving forward -- the floor and chairs look sweet, excellent job on that. Happy anniversary!

[@paulm3481]

Great job you’re smile says it all.

[@FarkyDave]

Loved this episode. It looks great inside the truck and sounds great, too. As I've said before, I'm amazed at your patience. Keep up the great work and happy anniversary.

[@ronaldsmith4382]

Congrats on 17 years and grateful family!

[@MrChecchio]

Love watching the progress on this truck, great to get the kids involved too. Happy anniversary to you and the Mrs!

[@ironlung7176]

The floor looks great. Keep up the good work my friend. The ol'girl is coming along fine.! Those are some nice seats too. Perfect fit for that old Classic. 👍👍

[@mattberg6785]

And congratulations on your anniversary!

[@blazinSpike]

Love that Corvette dashboard

[@nathanreyes6805]

I’ve spent the last couple weeks watching your whole series, you’ve taught me a lot about trucks and restorations in general. Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see the end product!

[@Tom_fromMySpace]

I still cant believe how well that old truck looks. Great job. I've been watching since you had her towed home. Keep up the work. Happy anniversary

[@sasbad843]
