TozziWelding Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 A guy I do work for decided to get a project, 04' Pete 379 rolled on to the drivers side. Has a reman CAT, 13spd and all kinds of shiny stuff on it. This is what I had to start with, the door, fender, part of the hood, sleeper side, airbags, shocks, and battery box all took the brunt of the hit. The passengers side is mint though.

TozziWelding Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I made some good progress, new airbags and shocks on the sleeper, got the battery box straightened out and the step welded back on. Got a fender and some hoot parts off another truck, door and air cleaner are back on the truck. Gotta do the sleeper next, probably just going to order the whole panel from Pete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felicello122 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I did a panel replacement on a sleeper same side and a same truck, had to gut whole left side interior removed the muffler and cut off all the rivets from the outside being the panel was junk. not to bad of a job, use a good huck gun and straighten all your interior braces and make sure the new panel lays on there nice and flat because that huck gun will pull hard and dent the new panel which im sure you know. the sleeper does not have to be removed to do this job like the body shops say, let me know if you need any help along the way. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TozziWelding Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 The Petes are the over the road trucks, the local trucks for low bed and trailer dump work are Macks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My first choice would always be Mack but I drive a Pete when I worked for cressler trucking and really liked that truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
