Default New from Moyie BC

just getting started!
I've been S L O W L Y working on a "salvage yard" RAT project . . .
1970 Pete 289M, Cummins "small cam" 350, Fuller 13 sp, Frieghtliner 3.73 rear on air.
mostly getting rid of tacky old "trucker" crap and working toward a minimalist approach.
so far . . Michelin 445-50R22.5 rear, 275-75R22.5 front tires,
4" front suspension drop, adjustable rear height (air ride)
5" magnaflow exhaust
K&N 6" filter (replacing old Donaldson "trash can")
Mercedes leather bucket seats on Bostrom Air pedistals
finalizing "electric" wiper conversion
Stewart Warner "aero" guages" (pic coming!!)
LineX fenders, running boards & deck (10')
hope to pass "out of province" inspection for registration as "Vintage RV / Toy Hauler" soon!
It's a real handfull to drive!! No power steering, air brakes and over 1100 lb ft of TORQUE!!

I love the old vintage rigs. New 18 wheelers all look the same. Back in the day truckers took pride in customizing their trucks.
