If you have a bunch more to tap, try a cordless drill with (1) an adjustable torque clutch and(2) one that has really low volts. If you can find a Black & Decker VersaPak that uses 7.2 volts (two 3.6 volt batteries) ... that should be the ticket. Set the clutch "weak" and with the low volts should "stop" before you break the tap off.

Very nice looking truck; 379 Peterbilt is the nicest looking truck on the highway bar none! I like those tambourine storage compartment doors!
