Restoring a 1979 Peterbilt 359: A Love Story

[@IncredibleBulk316]

Father and son dynamic at its best. Are you helping balance it? Son: No. Well what are you doing just looking at it?😂😅

[@HarrisonDegarmo]

Nothing makes me more happy than to see parents raising their kids with respect and good manners. When you told him to take that trash out, and he said yes, mam, I was like, there's still a little hope for this generation of kids coming up well done, mom, and dad hats off to you.

[@Bar7Ranch]

The only thing that would make me happier is if my trash can wasn’t overflowing 😂😂😂

[@francky771]

It's a pleasure to drive, this old truck took me three years to rebuild my 1976 359, congratulations

[@loghanstevens9189]

I’d give anything to of grown up with a dad like Cody! Well done sir.. you’re raising them right, and you’re very involved in yours kids life’s.. that’s something I wish I had so darn bad! I look forward to sharing and teaching my son the things I’ve taught myself over the years.

[@Squashyjet]

I’m a fleet mechanic for a trucking company in Alabama mostly new stuff but in the rare occasion I get to work on these older rigs it’s always a blast everything is practical and fairly simple to get to and repair hope you enjoy the truck!

[@Bar7Ranch]

It’s nice to hear someone else enjoys working on these older rigs!

[@DSPAINTWORKZ]

Man as kid without a dad its so important good for yall being together. I dont miss nothing my kids do I will break the cycle in my family of dead beat dads stay up pops 👏

[@BigTyler]

I am a mechanic for a small construction company, and my boss has a 79 Peterbilt 359 with a Cat 3406A Eaton Fuller 15 speed double OD his dad bought it brand new really cool truck. You have a really cool truck as well. It almost looks like the truck from Smokey and the Bandit except that one was a KW. Keep the straight pipes they look good.

[@DSPAINTWORKZ]

7:37 that yes ma'am was respect 🙌

[@AlphaCrewDog]

Sir, excellent rig! I cut my teeth on a ‘79 359….Pops trained me on it and I haven’t looked back since! Congratulations to you and yours!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Love the Peterbilt stacks looks good!

[@prestonthompson4752]

You got the truck from basically my hometown. Still live just 30 miles north of there. Congrats on the new rig!

[@zjm8824]

“Where you want my truck?” “Outta the way.”🤣

[@CodyCopeland-ew9lf]

Just got my Pete as well can’t wait to see this journey

[@mintyman1968]

The original stacks will make that truck look right

[@6181green]

Pro tip for Cody to stop grinding gears is to learn how to double clutch, which is basically pressing the clutch to get it into neutral, then let off and press it back in as you are putting it into the next gear which is how you have to shift big trucks until you learn how to float the gears then you will only use the clutch to take off practicing as much as possible is the only way to really learn it besides a couple basic youtube videos on double clutching and floating gears👍👍👍

[@ChrisGiovannetti]

Awesome video I enjoyed watching Fred run the bobcat. Congratulations Cody. On getting the truck of your dreams.End of the video with mom and daughter was also awesome. Keep it up Bar 7

[@jonmether8276]

The taller stacks are so much better than the stock ones (looks wise anyway). A 359 is my dream rig. My dad drives a shakeliner and probably always will.

[@dannylyons5899]

EPA is on the way. Gotta love the farm life, it’s simple but hectic all in one

[@tonyrogers975]

My father inlaw had one . He took it to truck shows and used it to move his equipment. I believe it was a 79. . Yellow and black . 12 cylinder Detroit . Called the Buzzin Dozen.

[@Bar7Ranch]

[@Bar7Ranch]

You’re welcome! 😂

[@jaybirdp5182]

The short stacks look great

[@anonaymous3950]

Good advice on using diesel fuel to burn. We used that in burns too! It also works to throw on wasp nests to kill them if no spray can available.

[@leviallenstoltzfus4738]

Straight pipes are awesome

[@PaffordHomestead]

They're good for 2ml miles.... A friend of mine would of love this truck he passed away few years ago at the age of 83 he had to stop driving at 82....he loved his job...😢

[@JoshuaGoldman-s5t]

Be sure when you grease the front end to jack it up n take the weight off the king pins if not only 1/2 will take grease

[@Bar7Ranch]

Good advice!! Thanks

[@CashisKingtrucking]

Peterbilt 💪🏻

[@sethdoll2059]

[@Bar7Ranch]

That’s rough! I hope you get it fixed up soon.

[@shanesmith5384]

Your stacks are probably 3 pieces, elbows, centers and top. 4 states truck Joplin MO. Very nice old truck

[@s.hinote2984]

75 chrome shop in wildwood Florida will have all the chrome that you could possibly need!

[@jameswilliamson4856]

Absolutely...NOT...gasoline! Listen to the man!

[@robsherbonjr5880]

@16:40 EPA entered the chat

[@pasttime8450]

The straight pipes look great

[@exploringphoenix602]

Keep Ranchin

[@KirkTerhaar]

Keep on truckin’

[@TimberTramp]

Ya might could cut em under the hanger band then shorten and weld the tips, then grind the weld back smooth and re- mount. Or just leave the weld just above the top band.

[@benpridham2394]

You will regret the noise of the Straight pipes. Having spent over 12 hours a day in the seat. You won’t have much hearing left, you will just have to see what’s best for you. I just sold my 1991 Peterbilt 379 3406 B Cat. 18 speed. Just was costing me to much to Run on the Open Road. Parts are extremely expensive now every time something needs replacing. Hope the Best for you Cody.

[@kelliepineda9822]

fair n freezing weather headed your way

[@gregjohnson8154]

This is gonna be cool

[@vickyCA1643]

Just found your channel. I love family channels. I am curious why you leave your shirt unbuttoned an extra one.

[@joviwonkenobi]

Clancy really doesn’t listen 😂😂

[@Bar7Ranch]

Welcome to having kids!

[@seanyancy1809]

TAS0000001 steering box seal kit, Grackon OEM lighting. Keep on Truckin,

[@bryanjohnson3736]

Most states you don't need a commercial license if you're using it for farm use. I agree with the original stacks going on it. Too nice of an original truck to have straight pipes on it!

[@Bar7Ranch]

You know what? We're thinking the same thing.

[@elijahdane4121]

Paint it back the same. That color and stripe is beautiful

[@shanesmith5384]

Cody when shifting of is at 1800 it should fall back in around 1550 yo 1500. Depending on your gears.

[@JG-zy6cg]

Carnivore is working for boss man! 👍👍

[@Bar7Ranch]

We love Carnivore!

[@pappybigbearUtqiagkia5840]

Put a shield over those pipes. They get friggen hot

[@MD-lm7fj]

Gotta double clutch until you learn to rev match. Clutch out of gear to neutral, add a little throttle, then clutch to shift into next gear

[@davidmoody7450]

Need to put the jade breaks on when you reve it up. You can idle it up to build the air up. The compresser is running of the motor. Also i would get a lower drop visor bc when that sun is coming above the tree lines you want be able to see nothing with that baseball cap visor. Also more chicken lights the better.

[@Bar7Ranch]

He definitely has plans for a lower visor!

[@LeviBoggs-q3z]

Jake Brakes

[@davidmoody7450]

​@LeviBoggs-q3z right lol

[@angiedeel1]

I like this show

[@modernoutdoors-i4p]

So do you have to have a CDL to drive it if it’s for farm use??

[@TimberTramp]

Mix that jug with 1/3 gasoline and you’ll have torch fuel. Light it easy with a lighter and low volatility like gasoline.

[@LeighSGetchellGatto]

Burning fire helps on the deworming to

[@trevorhaney1998]

You could flat top the stacks

[@deke441]

That Pete needs aa set of longhorns on the front!

[@willhorting5317]

I hadn't noticed that white pickup before, that's behind your Peterbilt. Have you had that for a while?

[@Bar7Ranch]

That’s Erika’s SquareBody Pearl! There are a couple videos on her. We are waiting on tires and then we will get started fixing her up!

[@willhorting5317]

@Bar7Ranch ah, thanks for the reminder. I do recall seeing a video of it. I simply forgot.

[@18-tolife20]

Lol clarence was finna send it 😅

[@Bar7Ranch]

He’s a mess 😂

[@jasonlechler577]

You should transplant the cactus to a pot.

[@staceylott6676]

Where you at homie i meet your daughter and wife at the grocery store in Hamilton yesterday evening lol

[@johndeeremodelb907]

It looks like the smoking the bandit truck

[@JG-zy6cg]

I mix old motor oil and diesel to start my fires

[@tannonbruton9394]

U need a trailer I have one

[@daniellinehan7164]

Your Stacks ought to be 13:6 you can cut them and put you some John Deere flaps on them

[@wethreeproductions2082]

U need to leave the straight stacks on

[@DanielHuizar-y9u]

Diesal is better to start a fire but putting it out is the problem lol

[@TimLowery-v7d]

A good cold start would be around-5

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks for the advice!

[@oilhauler76]

Hope everything falls into place with her

[@sharonm3677]

❤❤

[@inittowinitbennett6170]

[@nealequipment3777]

[@BrittanySmith-e1t]

Nice truck hun

[@Middleman570]

I’m not here judging I just wish I was there to help guide and help. But you can never go wrong with just doing it.

[@Bar7Ranch]

We love that we have a community we can call on for help! ❤️

[@Middleman570]

@ I have 40 years so far in the trucking industry. I’m originally from Johnson county Texas so if you need any help with that truck I’m willing to give advice and help steer you in a good direction.

[@bradhigh8137]

I think your view count speaks for itself, Peterbilt content from here on out😅

[@PeteWaldner]

And put new rims on the back of the truck

[@jamesritter623]

I absolutely think that the t Color of your truck is bad ass old school cool I hope that your not going to change it!!! I'm a new viewer of your channel and I can't wait to see what you are going to do with this bad ass 359

[@Bar7Ranch]
