Peterbilt 359 Restoration Ep.61 Sleeper Tail Lights

#littlebylittle359 #twinsticks #twinstickgarage
Now that I’ve started, I just can’t stop adding lights to this old Peterbilt. This time I install LED lights inside the stainless-steel air cleaners to give off a blue glow at night. Then I tackle adding more LED taillights to the back of the sleeper using a 4.5” hole saw. Once they are wired it gives a modern yet classy look and add to the safety when bobtailing.
Enjoy watching the "little by little" progress of this Peterbilt 359 project that's nearing completion and the next #ProjectSnowman, a Kenworth W900A tribute truck to the one used in Smokey and the Bandit and the one after that a 1979 Kenworth K100 cabover that I’m planning to build up like the one used in the trucking movie High Ballin’ with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda.

To get the wire through a loom use an box end from a wrench that fits in the loom. Put the wire through the box end then drag the box end through the loom feeding the wire into the loom

This is my plan for retirement. Definitely a 359...perhaps an ext. hood with a California flavour. Good job! Can’t wait to see it finished. 👊🏻

[@texschuler]

Youve created a million dollar lazarus, little by little. So amazing sir, you are quite the artist/mechanic/electrician/jack of all traadws

[@michaelschmidtke1525]

Glad your keeping the blue lights on a separate circuit. Cops will give you trouble if they see them on the highway.

[@michaelschmidtke1525]

I had blue grill and underglo on my old car. A friend cop I knew very well pulled me over and told me what he could do if he saw them on again. He never saw them on the highway again. It was scary

[@Diesel437]

@@michaelschmidtke1525 you = 👧 nothing wrong with running any color lights, as long as they’re not flashing girly

[@fazerainbow5674]

Lights up like a Christmas tree thumbs up and shared

[@manuelrega4455]

I'm from Italy and I like your videos and Peterbilt trucks. Super job!

[@1truckerout]

The truck is so sexy it doesn’t even need a paint job for me

[@7.3psd90]

I just love seeing big rig lit up going down the road at night!

[@tony4metallicaify]

Looking good! Your more a man than I am working in the cold northern air.

[@richardhargrave5016]

What a great morning. Videos from twin sticks and FSC speed shop and his 84 Pete 362. Only way it could be better is if EZRider drops a video today. Love the lights in the air cleaner.👍

[@lancegates9159]

Hey from a guy who has used those hole saws for 30 + years. Start in reverse and score the surface first and then it won't grab and twist your arm off. Nice work !!!

[@FarkyDave]

That looks absolutely fantastic. I just keep thinking how cool it is that you took that truck from the dead and not only revived it, but revitalized it, too. Great job!

[@Nblades78]

The movie quotes are great!

Always like the glow coming from the top of the air cleaner , just down right awesome

[@waltereldridge9447]

Lookin better and better, Little by Little. Now you need to put some under dash lights. Lol

[@markspeckan156]

You know you are enjoying what you do, even if it's cold out

[@kevinsuminski7167]

Looks great

[@psavel274]

Glad you decided on the 4 sleeper taillights. Always liked the look of 4 in a horizontal row. Looks really clean and symmetrical that way. Air cleaner lights are pretty neat too. Looking good. Now time for Project Snowman!!!!!

[@joemalone5986]

Can’t wait to see this truck painted and finished. Don’t make us wait too long!

[@reese1058]

such minty lights

[@jackwelborn1863]

Such a gorgeous rig old school is always the best way to go when it comes to rolling coal and making it look good while your at it im a big fan of the old school Peterbilt and Kenworth lets not forget the strong reliable Mack dog truck

[@Knautschfriese]

Heres Foxtrott 309. I see the lights of the runway an prepare to land! Heres the Tower, that „Runway“ is a freeway, and youre looking on a shiny blue Peterbildtruck....rearrange your Flightpath! ;-)

[@bonidaexpress]

[@cotyluckett]

Loving the southern Appalachian instrumental! 😁 Man o man has this truck came a far way. Loving it! Can’t wait for the paint job

[@davidsnow1481]

Wow she is looking sweet. Love the sound of the old trucks keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

[@pitbullgator]

Good evening Mark and Family She’s looking Awesome brother 🤠👍 Y’all take care and keep warm up yonder 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@dandersonjr]

Watching you drill those holes in the cab reminded me when I bought my boat and my wife wanted a seat mounted in the front to fish from. I must've measured and remeasured 10 times before taking a 4" hole saw and drilled a hole through the deck in my new boat. Like yours it came out perfect. Thank goodness. Truck's looking purty with all those new lights.

[@DieselDoc78]

Looking darn nice my friend! Good Job! It's come so far from when you had her towed to your home. And all the while, working in Mother Nature's garage. You sir, deserve a medal. Keep on Truckin'.

[@jeffsomers5363]

Cant wait for the next episode 😁

[@clingfree7993]

You should be very proud of your accomplishments on the 359. All the work you have done by yourself and doing a great job in the process. Especially working in the cold as well. Awesome 😎 job

Good job brother.👍👌👍👌shout out from San Francisco California

[@maidenrulz73]

Looking great

[@willhoggard645]

I've owned & operated many trucks had to do my own work I understand how much work is involved you've got a lot to be proud of.. Hell of a job

GREAT JOB!!!!!

Looks great Mark. Everything takes twice as long as you think, and that last part is never in stock. But glad you did the temp solution, and ordered the right gaskets. Beautiful.

Dude over the years your content really has gotten better, the editing, your confidence, just the way these videos are put together are great 👍

im almost wondering if one of his daughters has taken over the editing and special effects lol.

[@djbandido1901]

Really enjoy your videos 100%

[@fergusmoloney]

Didn’t think I’d like those blue lights. I was wrong. She looks class.

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

Neat to see that the snow hasn't stalled you whatsoever. We are lucky to reside in a state where you just need to wait out a couple months and the sun comes out again! Thanks for the videos

looks great , nice work

[@markfoster7271]

I’ll add a comment that is very much in line with so many of the others - I love these videos! Your delivery is so authentic. I love how you own any mistakes you make, the same ones that most people make to! I’ve always been into cars and stumbled on your vids by accident. Since then you’ve inspired me and I’m now thinking about how I could get a truck and how I would approach the project. I particularly love your ‘on the hunt’ episodes. Great work - thank you!

Awesome job with the added lights on the sleeper. Looks like you measured and drilled correctly. Really nice, I like it!

[@cofox9]

Looks mint, fits that truck perfectly!

[@lazyhiker628]

Agreed...wiring is a pain, but a necessary evil. With my junction boxes, I create a small sheet with the contact descriptions, laminate them, and throw them in the truck in a safe place. You can refer to them when you need to work in the JB.

[@jaredsimon7579]

liking the truck with all the lights its one hell of a unit hope to see it on the road someday 👍👍

[@screamindemon811]

Sittin there looking all lit up and pretty, what isn't to like about that. Nothing more nerve wracking than drilling a big old hole in a truck and 4 inches at that ... that will make the pucker tighten up a tad as your hoping the drill stays on course doesn't jump and doesn't go too far, been there done that... and a jack is well deserved after that, and yeah the individual hole saw bits when you start really going up in sizes, it's like the guy at the till tells you how much it is and your like " no no,....you don't understand... I don't want to buy your company, I just need to buy this hole saw bit" She's looking pretty slick Mark diamond plate and the pogo stick look good all mounted in placed.... she starting to come together with the little touches being added in

[@ebalmes]

Oh man I LOVE your channel!!!!!! I am such a sucker for trucks. Still wanting a 352 for my own leisure!!!!

[@petecarlton3551]

I put a plug close to my air cleaners so that i can take lids right off and clear of truck when replacing air cleaners

[@robertinscoe2379]

I was thinking that would be a neat addition.👌👌

That is going to be a sweet truck. I always drove flatbed so I had a headache rack for hanging chains and binders. I didn’t bother with anything else on back.
