Peterbilt 589 flat top conversion in progress!!

[@EdmondBouchard-sy3ml]

I like how you guys keep your shop's clean and organized. I can't wait to see the truck done.

[@SEMICasualShow]

Thanks 👍

[@CACressida]

That flat top with the sleeper is something Peterbilt should offer. That instantly made the silhouette recognizable.

[@ghulan31]

Looks great guys! Reminds me of that line from Smokey and the Bandit where Bandit says to Snowman, “Course we can make it. We ain’t never not made it yet, have we?” Looking forward to seeing the 589’s done up!

[@lifeistooshort1112]

been following you guys for few months and what your showing lately you guys knock it out of the park everytime

[@MikeInBendOregon]

Man you guys definitely have your plate beyond full... That is really going to help the look of that truck, and the stand up sleepers are really nice, but I gotta be honest, I still like the cab and sleeper both flat. Your brothers shop is incredible. I like hands on videos so I just went over and subscribed.

[@justinmontgomery3574]

That is going to be pretty cool!! Y'all definitely have your hands full

[@vernfrederick5025]

Looks so much better with the new roof ,awesome

[@79_Trucker]

Keep it up! This thing is going to be over the top!! I love it!!

[@lamara8497]

I really like that flat top! Reasoning being that from the looks of it the roof wouldn't have to be chopped for a car hauler. This would save me money possibly lol.

[@craigjackson247]

Loved Tommy's face when he walked into the shop

[@williambowers5783]

You guys are awesome great work. Wish I could afford you guys to work on my old truck

[@timothypelley7825]

Can't wait to see the truck finished.

[@ronnieclenney7719]

Love the content you guy are doing a great job on the truck looking forward to seeing it at mats

[@rags-fv6ko]

That 589! Looks amazing…….IVE ALWAYS LOVED THE 379/389 with the standup sleeper with the non ultra cab,

[@jacob2483]

Yeah real old school for sure

[@mrstyle_67]

Guys, I love your work and I sure wouldn't want to see you get injured . So please wear gloves when handling sheet metal panels like that roof panel with razor sharp edges. My employee in our Collision Repair Shop had a hood slide just a little in his hand because the awkwardness and not having great leverage with the way he held it. Just minutes later he was in ER getting 15 stitches to the palm of his hand. Great work and can't wait to see another beautiful build. That's one hell of a shop.

[@mowerjeff8990]

Can’t wait to see the finished product. Brian get your polishing bucket and work that dent out.

[@SEMICasualShow]

😂😂

[@Winnyf1]

Wow, amazing gents, now if you could do me one favor, you are at the bleeding edge of creating looks for the new 589. Here’s an idea for you, come up with a custom dash that mimic’s the 389 but fits into the 589 cab. I think Pete missed the boat there because in the end this is just another 2.1 meter cab and I’d just run a 567 to get some of the aero - the hood on the 589 doesn’t complete the story for me at least. Again ya’ll do amazing work and I’m sure this is going to be a special piece.

[@vernfrederick5025]

Don’t worry Tommy the end product is going to be look , absolutely beautiful

[@aaronarcement3646]

hell ya to chopping up a new truck.... epic... my grandpa always said its only expensive if you can't afford it... and most who hate it dont have the skills to build it .....

[@trevorlayhe1936]

Or could it be they get a more desirable truck of their liking?

[@Daily_Paint]

My experience with 3m panel bond is great. 2001 Mercedes-Benz panel bonded the quarter panels back on for collision repair on the S class. Plus 3m puts roughly 15 million in R&D just for paint and body supplies

[@stuartcambridge8342]

Love the flat top hopefully you've got a visor for that large screen..keep up the great work 👍

[@ДядяВоваКлассикСША]

I like where it’s going, like I said, in the previous video everything is a bolt on and can be replaced 👍🤝

[@franklackie2469]

The new 589 is awesome from the factory doesn't need a bunch of modifications but it's your money

[@LargeCarLife]

👏 Gonna be a cool truck. That’s a lot of work 😲

[@victorserao7180]

The slipper port is higher than the cab. Now you got an opening up down the top to change the slip on putting on low top roof type.

[@ДядяВоваКлассикСША]

And don’t forget to replace the headlights to a single square on a JJ bracket!

[@jamesanderson5243]

Im really curious how you will blend the bunk? Without a big flat spot??? Keeping the faith.....

[@bling1634]

that flat top on the 589 is gonna look nice

[@frankstrohmyer9106]

It would be cool to put on a Ultra Loof sleeper on the 589 and figuring out to put exhaust on.

[@acrowseyeview6793]

Love your videos, can you do a video on what shops you have & are tommy & brian the 2 owners or how does it work. Thank you

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Awesome video, guys. appreciate the videos 👍

[@peterwaldner1766]

I'm waiting to see what ull come up with installing breather lights on the 589

[@brettypma8629]

Do the tank saddles wrap around a little more on these newer trucks, or am I just seeing things? RIP 389, but glad to see these new units being made into as much as they can be. Also, with the construction of these new trucks, is making the truck a "pop top" by adding a tall roof cap to the sleeper be a more doable thing?

[@glen511]

Gentry and Son project is on FCR channel too !

[@CaptMike4139]

Build a 589 ultra loft with stacks and sleeper extensions stretched frame. I would like to see one.

[@JeronWhite]

Nice rig

[@kingminkhant]

So which pete is going to be hooked to the Fitzgerald foynder edition dry van that going to be unveiling at MATS.

[@richardblakley8139]

hopefully they are still going to make the 78 inch

[@fsctrucking]

Anything you can do to make a 589 cool is desired. I'm not going to lie, Peterbilt lost its way after 379. 389 was OK, but was the beginning of Peterbilt going Aero in big hood territory. 589 as Peterbilt presents it is horrible. You guys truly make diamonds from coal. Semi Casual is Peterbilt's only hope.

[@michaelhall3568]

Good job guys

[@ethanthopy1996]

The best bet would be to order a flat top then order the raised roof bunk and put it on.

[@SEMICasualShow]

Still wouldn’t work out any easier. The opening on a standup is much larger so you will still have to fab a lot of stuff like we are doing.

[@ethanthopy1996]

@@SEMICasualShow oh ok I wonder why they don't use one size opening. That way they could more easily customize these sleeper trucks!

[@NotOnFileRacing]

I like the 589 can’t wait to see it finished. It would be nice to see 4 lights going across the back of the sleeper instead of 2

[@andhotrodshop]

Ok @9:25 who’s 5 window Chevy truck cab is that? You know a guy with a hot rod shop is going to spot a cool truck 😂😂😂 and yea flat top makes that truck way better 👍🏻🙌🏼👊🏼

[@sethernest2646]

These roofs are the easiest to work on bolt on and glue roof looks to be the same style as the kw t680

[@KaimarRedcloud]

Lol, Western Express cab in the background. Does the factory give you guys a bulk discount?

[@Tom_Wharf]

Cool video. I'm just curious, you just showed the front air ride kit changed on it, and now this. Did Pete just give you this truck to play with for future works? Also, can you please comment or possibly explain what the new lower "undesirable" tank strap brackets are about and or if they're going to be the only option to go with?

[@SEMICasualShow]

There seems to be two options on the tank brackets. The Flat Top we are doing has the 389 style tank brackets. We have a plan for this truck to change it up. If we have time to do before MATS we will, or just do it after MATS and take to the 75 Chrome show with the new set up.

[@rob3732]

Tommy’s crossed arms says it all. 😮

[@SEMICasualShow]

Lol

[@jameswelburn9649]

👏👏 looking good

[@DustyLane]

If you order a standup sleeper does the cab have to come with the tall aero roof cap? Looking forward to seeing it at MATS

[@carloselizondo7671]

You guys are nuts.

[@stevenm3141]

This is probably stupid but,why are the rear fenders gray and the cab is blue? 😊

[@Bruce_Wilson]

I wonder who’s truck will be in the booth…

[@Mygirlfriend3141]

Any way not the Peterbilt you ruined by lowering it

[@kurtgranlund496]

All vehicles evolve over time. If you want a 389 buy a 389.

[@driver8703]

🤫 that will trigger the Pete guys that are still stuck in the 70s😂

[@johnbutson6369]

While its in the body shop ...... can you fix those damn door handles ? The 2 different bunk and cab handles looks like a cheap afterthought . Something a lesser brand truck would do ...... wait they even know better than to do that .

[@victorserao7180]

Yeah, that’s the talk show on KZbin and Canada closure is not adoption on the401 not an option

[@agentice77]

It looks 100% better with the low roof

[@tfrey17]

Cant wait till somebody figures out a pipe kit with regular elbows and flex under the cab for these trucks instead of the flex behind the heat shield. Hopefully this signals the end of dummy stack trucks being that you can get active exhaust with matching step boxes, between the stacks vibrating and rotating from not being connected to anything and just overall looking dumb its the number one thing that gets on my nerves 😂😂

[@SEMICasualShow]

This truck will get a set of DynaFlex pipes for sure!!! Also they will be hooked up 👍

[@79_Trucker]

Sweet we get real smoke poles!!

[@kimberlyhemerson4828]

Wow Volvo offers a truck with dual stacks that are real, work and look great, right from the factory. And don't cost north of $7,000.00. And are attached to a tractor that will produce 9 to 10 mpg, so what is your cost of cool?

[@nivroxa7766]

What if you put side mirrors single mount from the door?

[@SEMICasualShow]

We have thought about that….. it’s definitely doable.

[@travisoleck9121]

lol you guys are crazy! In a good way 😂!

[@stevenm3141]

I'm sorry I didn't see the advantage of lowering the roof. So now you have to duc to get in the sleeper! 😊

[@jamesklein]

Just curious. Why didn’t you start with a flat top 589 and then just get a tall sleeper and modify it?

[@SmithFarmTilton]

Curious...... are the cab / doors on a 589 steel or aluminum ?

[@ventureout001]

Can you order a 589 with that shorter roof cap, even with a taller bunk height?

[@SEMICasualShow]

It’s not an option from the factory.

[@lukegillins125]

I'm a kenworth guy. But that 589 would look so much better with a 2 piece windshield. The windshield is a bad look. I still run 2 piece flat glass.

[@monstersdad67]

Dude that’s gonna be sick, just like everything Yall build. As far as the 589 it just like the 379, 389 in the times of their introduction people didn’t like them either. Nobody likes change.

Why would you want less headroom….. 🤯

[@lloydkuepfer1599]

Why take away head room

[@wes2253]

Really think the flat top makes it look like a proper peterbilt. that tall bubble roof makes it look awful.

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Why spend all of that money along with the down-time to make the cab smaller, less useful and create more drag ?

[@alsantiago7790]

I sincerely respect what yall are trying to do with this 589. I really do. But, Peterbilt (in my opinion) seriously dropped the ball HARD on this new model. The exterior of this truck is just so undesirable now. The windshield, and both driver and passenger door just make this truck look like “tupperware”. Those are the ugliest parts in my opinion. I really wish Peterbilt asked the diehard 359, 379, and 389 drivers on their opinions for a new design. And I’m talkin about senior drivers… Drivers who have ran nothing but 359/379/389 for the past 15-20yrs. (50yrs for the 359). These are the drivers Peterbilt should have listened to. Because these drivers know every single in and out to these trucks. But like I said, I do sincerely respect what y’all are trying to do with this 589. And I cannot wait to see the finish product. I’m truly excited. Would I ever buy a 589, though? Answer is no unfortunately. 15yrs under my belt. 12yrs running 379 and 389’s.

[@SEMICasualShow]

The new 589 is definitely very different from a 389, but we think the did a good job keeping some of the big items like the hood similar. The doors and windshield are things that can be modified and we actually have plans for that after MATS. Every time a new model comes out there is going to be a bit of shock to the traditional folks. This new truck is going to be fun to figure out and we really think when it’s all said and done it will still be a very cool truck. 👍

[@alsantiago7790]

We don’t think it’s a turd at all, yeah it’s considerably different from a 389. But this truck does offer a smoother ride, more room inside, and added technology that is kinda cool. We really think after people get past the shock of a different truck and the aftermarket part offerings grow these trucks will be pretty cool. Just takes a bit of ingenuity and an open mind.
