PROJECT PETERBILT 379!!! FLATTOP CONVERSION DONE!!!!

[@Laffs23]

EZrider is truly the hero that the KZbin Peterbilt community needs.

[@chipanzee7507]

It was some dark days for a while here on the Greg A channel when you moved the Kentucky and the videos lapsed. Seems like views were down, and enthusiasm kind of faded. But then Greg slowly starts making videos, then bam hit us with the full time KZbin. Views are up, subs growing fast. Thank you Greg for reinvesting yourself into this channel and giving all us views a new life on everything! Almost forgot...thank you to Ally! All the support she must give you, you are truly a lucky and blessed man!

[@k2silence]

I agree I lost faith in Greg but he seems to be turning it around which is great to see! I do miss the old friends he had they brought a lot to the channel

[@ianlahn6424]

Greg, I've been a diesel mechanic for over 16 years now and have never seen anything like this. I give you a lot of credit for tackling this project and your enthusiasm definitely makes your videos. Can tell your enjoying yourself and are proud of your work.

[@ericbinney6841]

Semis are easy to rebuild

[@j.c.smithprojects]

Ezra is a good man. great mechanic. i am proud to call him a friend.

[@james_jr]

What?!howdy mr. Smith

[@Gemidrift]

Who else has been here since the triple turbo days ?

[@blazejamie7871]

Pro tip: watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@tristianparker5716]

@Blaze Jamie Yup, been using Flixzone} for months myself :)

[@TwinStix]

Great work and kudos to Ezra for sharing that gun again! Glad I didn’t wreck it 😆 Isn’t installing hucks fun?

[@jonathanray5868]

TwinStick Garage your channel is awesome I’m from Kentucky and have watched every episode same as ezrider and Gregs build keep up the good content

[@chuckychuck]

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿EZrider have a beautiful spirit in him, KZbin led me towards his channel plus I saw when he drove the pete home after he purchase it on video, if everyone had his spirit we as humans would be a perfect intelligent species.

[@jefffedorvich9423]

Any money says it’s a quad cab long box 3rd gen 6.7 for a frame and drivetrain for the rat rod

[@moparman2500]

We're all hoping that's what will happen 🙏

[@1012Mrjesse]

Maybe minus the engine, I think he might be putting that free 12v that he got in it, but I don’t doubt it’ll be a 3rd gen donor for frame, suspension, axles, etc.

[@trevorkupsch1366]

Hopefully that’s where the current ‘05 engine is going since he’s got a new engine for it

[@jefffedorvich9423]

Trevor Kupsch that would be sweet

[@jefffedorvich9423]

sNiiPeZ_03 that 12 valve he got doesn’t have any good parts on it. The internals might be ok but everything else is junk. Plus it’s missing a ton of stuff

[@Nicksvintageiron]

GregA ,twinsticks, and ezrider are 3 of my main channels I watch. Another reason I need a pete

[@arrowkart4j]

EZrider is the man. Love his channel and twinsticks

[@kygambler22]

Jim Maxson check out Piled Up TV. He rebuilds wrecks and does custom paint...

[@tonybarnett2371]

I have watched EZrider and I love what he has done with his Pete. While watching Weston Chaplin he mention getting the sleeper for his Peterbilt 379 from "Greg" in Kentucky. I rewatched it and saw that it was from your Peterbilt. I have subscribed to all three of you. I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. If it wasn't for the combination of Coronavirus, Covid-19, and what I do for a living I would love to have giving you manual assistance with the projects you have started. Been raining off and on all day, but that is Kentucky. If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes. Be safe and stay well.

[@Ezrider359]

that is coming together nicely 👍. i wish i was closer i would squirt some paint on that roof cap for you. i don't know if you figured it out or not but that huck gun will pull the magnagrips as well just have to swap out the nose and the different size tips on the one for pulling blind fasteners are a plastic container in the case.

[@seanroberts2394]

Excellent Greg! Ezra is a cool cat not to mention one heck of a fabricator and mechanic. Twin Sticks is cool too. I love both of their channels. I see J.C Smith too and he is a wealth of knowledge and skill. You're in good company. Keep it up.

[@ladydarksorrow]

both Ezrider and TwinStick are awesome people

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

Fantastic content! Ezra is definitely one of my favorites! It’s amazing how much effort goes into this conversion, I hope it’s worth it for you! Looking forward to the next video.

[@randycecil7375]

The truck resto community needs more good guys like ez ryder! Keep the videos coming!! Looking 👍

[@StubProductions]

Your wife is a real trooper! You are a lucky man

[@BoogersMechanics]

LMFAO! @ 19:56 , The little kid in me is laughing so hard at the fact when Greg Tripped and Said “ I almost tripped and ate shi...Crap” lmao YOU ARE HUMAN GREG lmao

[@ap71chevss]

Hey Greg, I'm betting that bracket on the passenger's side is "upside down" because it's probably a universal bracket, as in it's a driver's side bracket flipped over to make it a passenger side bracket. I don't think it'd work on the passenger's side without being upside down. I could be wrong, but I doubt it lol. So glad you're back making more videos! Keep them coming!

[@roy1531]

EZrider has done one hell of a job on his 359! I am hoping you are going to leave the top bald! Put 3/4" round lights in the visor.

[@stevemaccollum4688]

I was in middle of typing don’t forget to pre drill for cab lights as he mentioned it. You have this build figured out Greg! And all cheers for Allie and Regan for allowing you the time for all these projects and making enough content that most of my projects have gone to the wayside while I watch You work on yours.

[@rileymcfadden6382]

So. Many. Projects. idk how you stay sane with all those projects going on at once and im calling it its a 3rd gen donor truck

[@MrTanner530]

riley mcfadden if you watched the video when he got the 70’s dodge he said to ally that he has the “second piece to it already”

[@timothypelley7825]

EZ Rider and Twin sticks put out good content for their peterbilt builds

[@erwing408ify]

EZRider!! Blowing up!!💪🏼💪🏼

[@wayneshancock2520]

First tool to ever set a face book record for appearing on 2 channels other than its own ! Who gets it next , Bus Grease Monkey ? Bruce Wilson ? EZ is da Man , love him 👍🙏🇺🇸

[@jonathanray5868]

Ez rider is the king of the peterbuilt build no doubt

[@robertwilbert1317]

What about are good buddy mark...lol....I miss him on the channel....awesome job man....this is coming along good..

[@mikeanderson7206]

Day cab log truck

[@kygambler22]

My son got an 06 Pete wrecker with an aluminum roof and Polished it with chrome trim around door windows.

[@ajm407]

Your content kind of reminds me of the old show Trucks with Stacey David. Just pure cool stuff and good technical ability. No showoff bullshit like all of the other bandwagon channels floating around. Glad to have daily Greg A content. Keep it up.

[@Ranchready496]

Heart of gold that easy rider! 👏🍻👍🇺🇸🌮

[@prestincolford5993]

Best part of the days is watching that man Greg A lol !

[@Kodiak660]

Looks like the upside down bracket might be correct. One size (part number) fits both sides.

[@dark_one1337]

@18:40 I would cut the corner withe the big radius straight so the corner filler "panel" is a squarepice so it looks more professional ,is much easier to fabricate and looks good.

[@andyb9767]

I had something changed on my Pete cant remember now ,but they used a few blind fasteners and the just dabbed alittle Bondi on the fastener and sanded it and painted it with a little brush. And it looked great. I couldn't use hucks because they couldn't get behind it

[@drewl4762]

Love this project. Would look pretty cool as a daycab just sayin

[@Toddford1568]

I work at a body shop in eubank ky just north of Somerset and we are still open. I'm assuming your painting with base coat clear coat and not enamel right?

[@bryansmith9255]

Not sure if you got the top on yet, but Draw Clecos would be really helpful to get that cap set and held into place. Especially if you have to back-drill that cap

[@ToasterTerrible]

food for thought greg, any hucks you change you can get chrome ones, picutre black paint with chrome hucks. done them on trucks we fixed it is sick looking

[@1012Mrjesse]

The more you use the hi viz snapon stuff, the more it makes me want to get some 😂 wish I could get my student discount on that stuff, all I can really get is the standard snapon red for student pricing

[@johanlundkvist5363]

"I'm not that crazy, just a little crazy" 🤪 Thank you. I feel the same way about my projects sometimes.

[@stevenl9584]

Do the old bullet style cab lights they always look cooler. I think so anyways gives it a bit more old school look

[@joeellsworth4710]

I agree..I was just saying to myself that that's what he needs to put on there. And put at least 7 on there they look really good like that

[@mdlipps]

Nice! That truck is looking very good.

[@lostsoulscustomz]

If you bring it to Mike's auto body in Pittsburgh PA I'll paint it free and a shout out

[@mikeortiz6354]

Love the videos keep em up can't wait to see the old Dodge reborn

[@markrosser5253]

Doing the same thing to my 98. If you wouldn’t mind could i get the part number for the boot ring. All the Peterbilts i have called say it’s been discontinued. Thanks Love the 379 vids

[@nathanaelhutchison43]

You’re becoming a great dude to watch keep up the good work!

[@allana5930]

So when you're done are you going to put a cube on the back so you can turn it into your toy hauler/ camper

[@grasscutter5160]

The smart car, by far the most powerful vehicle in the fleet lol

[@slscout]

Truck looks hucking good

[@davewykes766]

Fair play to Ezra👍

[@tlr-nut7275]

I think those brackets are on properly. They might use the same part for both sides.

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Awesome awesome video Greg A and Ali A, finally got the flat top on, it looks insanely awesome, way better than the old one. Wait til you stretch the frame and lower it it’ll look absolutely awesome I can’t wait to see it. Ali gets out there and helps you with the projects, her clothes are gonna be black and just as dirty as yours lol. To bad good buddy Mark is so far away now he’d be the perfect one to paint the Peterbuilt.

[@randycunningham9871]

Any chance on putting the top on without those huck things. It looked good smooth.

[@kevinperkins1402]

Greg, I'm looking to do the same on my 03 379. Can you share the part numbers for the new ring, bows, console and brackets?

[@18rollin]

Hey Greg I’m wanting to do the Unibilt conversion on my flat top w9, peterbilt doesn’t have any boot rings at the moment, where did you get yours?

[@mikeanderson7206]

That would be a great looking log truck

[@elituggle2530]

Where do you get the aluminum brackets for the radio and roof?

[@layn1000]

You should do 389 doors to match the sleeper! Mostly plug and play minus the stricker pins. There’s a couple companies out there that sell the newer stricker pins. And the mirrors mounted to the cab look so much better!

[@jchefboyardee]

I really like your choice of music especially at the 2:20 area!

[@TheATVboy17]

Twinsticks Shout out, sweet.

[@alexsternau1437]

Yo, Greg... What ever happened to that blue first gen single cab long box you bought like 2 years ago or so?

[@brandoncaldwell95]

$100 says its a 6.7L long bed 3rd gen for the body conversation.

[@morgansword]

Went back an did the marathon... new sub. I am curious as to you finding a decent truck with a top crunch... use all your own parts and not have to buy or get help assemble as you took it apart so going back wouldn't /shouldn't be a problem. Might be some positive cash flow or a second build that could take air ride from crunch and fix its top then roll the cut off under an tag it an bag it. Just saying let your mind go as tight times for drivers is not but they are still wrecking them

[@brandonbernhardt4378]

Where did you get the framing parts. I’m looking to do the same thing but can not find any parts

[@MrFanman43]

Westen Champlain does some good painting on the cheap! He has some experience painting a 379 too! DO IT! I would love to see a Colab!
