Putting Massive New Hood on Wrecked 379 Peterbilt

Hey guys, it's Weston here, how are you today? Today we're going to jump right into this. This is our bedroom for our big, beautiful Peterbilt, also known as the tugboat. And if they weren't here last time, we take and change. the sleeper's color look she's blue and pretty now the first thing we're going to do is go ahead and take the tape off and see what it looks like look at that shine look at that oh that's beautiful everything Okay, let me find an advantage here, bam , don't worry guys, we didn't paint that chrome, but look at that, it looks good, it looks pretty good, I gotta say look at that, although there's hardly any overspray anywhere, there's just a little bit just right. there, but yeah, that's good, now you guys might be wondering if this thing up here, oh my gosh, they didn't tape the chrome over there, well, actually, it wasn't any chrome, it was just painted on there, This is the only one left.

The chrome around the vent and the one on the other side is actually ready to be put back on the truck. Now the other thing we had to take care of was the

hood

. I know it's important that we can't drive without a

hood

and something occurred to me. on the hood, you know what I found out, we're going to guess a new hood, so we're actually going to go to four state trucks, the chrome shop mafia in Joplin, Missouri, and we're going to pick up a new hood, I guess there's no. nothing, just do it, let's hitch up the trailer and go in that direction.

Well guys, we have officially arrived at Joplin Mystery Mystery. We did the mystery drop. No, we arrived in Joplin. Missouri. Four state trucks that are the home of chrome. shopping at the mall and we're going in here, if we're honest we got stuck in traffic so we're a little late but it's about 20 minutes until they close so I hope they can get us a bonnet real quick. Hello, video security. So mine, who don't talk about bonnets around here, is this a flower? I have your appointment, yes sir, hey, I got here too early hauling trucks up north or we're too broke to have more on one truck.

We can afford one, that's all we have, that's all the Champlin Trucking experience, it's an auction, right? Yes, auction, he tipped over, he was tired and needed a nap, he decided to roll over and take one, so he cut off the top of the pile. because the stack was wavy so he cut the top of the stack off the roof he had the fancy ketchup from whataburger he had the spicy ketchup he had in and out he had wendy's he had mcdonald's carl's i'm jr everywhere man i'm 500 pounds man man the doctor He says I'm not going to live I really don't think our hardwood will turn out that well oh my lord look at that look at that dash though look how high that damn gear shift is, do you know what that's like? it works, you walk up, hit the door while you are sleeping in bed, hit the dashboard, come back, hit whoever is sleeping in bed again in the crotch, then hit the window or hit whoever is sitting in the passenger seat who seems too much long.

In my case you have one here oh my lord where is that fiberglass? Yes that's fine. I'll just take that one. I know. I feel naked. Go a little further. I don't mind. This is incomplete. I don't know if this is good, guys, we'll try, okay, we'll get caught. Let's get back to Kansas, we'll see you back in Kansas in three, two, one guys, we got back to the farm with our big, beautiful Peterbelt hood and look at this thing now we got there and we actually had a different hood in mind that we were going to get , we were going to get one that was almost like a factory replacement hood that had these big fender shakes, that's what they have.

You know that thing looks slippery because you know there's too much space right there between the tire and the fender, so we go ahead and get the hood with the big fenders and I think this hood will work great for our Peter belt. I think it's going to look great and hold our mounts just so you know the brackets that keep the hood from sliding back and forth and so on. so let it sit on the frame to keep it from shaking I've got to put that on the new hood I've got to take these springs off I've got to take these hinges off and then we're going to have to unscrew these hinge brackets here and then put them on the new hood and then I think we can bring the new hood over here and set it up here and then just plug it in and put it right, let's go ahead and start removing all the stuff from this old one. hood, try to take off this hood and then we'll put things in the new one and put on the new hood.

I'm very excited, let's do it. Yes, I'm getting ready to rip my finger off, just like Wayland did. Okay, go up some more, here we go, what did you say? Now you are awake. Yeah, okay, let me leave this. I'm out of my side, give it a tug. What are we doing? Wait. Can we drop it? Can't. I'm not on my side. I can't hold on. Yes again. You have to go drive around your Peter when he looks like this. Do you know what you guys think? What would they do? Think if you just saw that driving down Interstate Max, you would say Mr.

Officer Dot. There's no rule anywhere that says I have to have a hood, just a headlamp. See, Mr. Officer. Have you never seen Cletus Mcfarland? He proved that things without hoods worked. faster, that's what we're demonstrating here, I think this at least adding 100 horsepower problem that we're having is our brackets down here that need to go to our new hood over there, uh, it's got a couple of rivets and Bob started now. Bob is a big beastly animal and he looks a lot like a bear when he goes into winter she goes into hibernation she doesn't like winter at all please baby starter we won't be able to lift that hood now is the time on whom we depend.

She's a loyal old lady, I think she will, give her a good chance and let her go, she needs some more go-go juice, here we go, yeah, she runs, oh you're so good, she really did it. I don't think that would start at all. Oh, Bob and I have a good relationship. One of them loves and hates, but now we have a good one. Now that Bob has started, we need to take off the bucket. He was actually fixing the driveway. Bob last time we had it going so we can't really lift the hood with our bucket, we're going to take the bucket out, put the pallet forks back on and we're going to grab a pallet and then we can put our blue hood on, can we? where is that hood?

We can put our blue hood that's there on the platform, get it out of the way. We can remove the supports from that hood and then we'll lift the nice new white trailer hood with Bob perched on top. here put the brackets on it and put it on the truck okay let's do it guys my shirt came unbuttoned yeah that's a lot easier to work on okay let's get them off real quick now I need to grab a What size is this? half inch wrench, give me a second, okay guys, so we removed the hood brackets, look at them now, that's what I was trying to remove.

Now this sits here like this so we had to remove these brackets because our new hood there doesn't have them so we have to put these brackets on our new hood along with our hinge brackets right there and then once we have them everyone there, we can pull the new hood here, screw it on, put the springs on it and Leave it, what did you say? I haven't even seen this great beauty, well what do you think of it? It's in a couple different pieces right now. She is beautiful. I know it is. And that's a big Cummins.

It may weigh more than your car, I probably had to remove these damn supports, yeah, and needless to say it took me about 3,000 years to remove them. Well, we finally got them, it's a dog food bowl, yeah, isn't it? Well, plug the vent. Talk to you later. I still have it working. I know you know I did. You haven't been here to eat anything recently, so I thought everything would be fine if I stayed. In there I thought we were better friends than this. I should have called and checked with them, it's okay guys it's cold out here.

Dom thinks it's cold, human form thinks it's cold, Weston thinks it's cold, this is the wwd hood replacement department, does that sound good? So we took the new hood off the trailer, put the brackets on it and she's pretty much ready to go, so I guess now what we need to do is unbolt it from the bed, get Bob to lift it up. We're going to take it and put it on the front like that so it's facing the right direction because as you can see the back is down right now, we need to turn it over that way, we can take it all the way to the front. off the truck like that then we'll put it in, screw it up and leave it on the ground, let's see what it looks like, oh God, it's cold out here.

Wait, when you get to this side, dom, you want to stand there in the middle, make sure you don't go down. too strong, okay, let's pick this up and turn it over, let's rebalance it, so what's going on? Well, basically, we just drove up here with the hood up. They are finishing

putting

the nuts on the back of the hinges right now. and then we'll lower the hood and see how it looks that's unfair you have gloves to be fair only one of my hands is cold so I've got it all hooked it's the hinges are hooked it already has the brackets up there so all we have to do is put it up and see how it looks, there are still two more supports we have to put on it, they go here and here, but for now we can just put it up and see how it looks good. okay go around the fender it's on this stand it looks pretty good we still need to adjust this side a little bit it's too hot selfie wait I'm so big I hid behind me okay guys we got the hood on. the truck oh it's cold out here and you know what these guys want to go get something to eat so with that being said if you liked the video make sure you hit the like button if you guys are new here what should you do?
