Highway OPie and his 379 Pete
Hello all:
Just thought I would say hello to everyone here on the list. I just joined today, and look forward to lots of great conversation.
I am about a year into my project of coverting a 379 Peterbilt road tractor into a motorhome. Its a 2003 model, 550 Cat, 18 speed trans, 3.56 rears. So far I have removed the 5th wheel, dropped the front driver and lengthened the frame 6 feet, installed a new 16' Morgan dry box, and had a stock Peterbilt fuel tank made into a split for fresh and gray water and mounted it aft of the driver's side 130 gal fuel tank.
All is progressing well. My next step is to replace the 63" sleeper with one I am building which will be 83" and complete the walk-through from the tractor/bunk into the box.
I'll post some pictures for anyone who may be interested as soon as I learn how!
This is my "retirement project" which I expect will last the rest of my life!
Thanks,
Highway OPie
