I am a German machinist and a mechanical prodigy put rubber bumpers back on a p u ,that is going to give you problems it needs to have anti vibration grommets in place ,
I don't know what the D.O.T. is like down in that part of the country but you wouldn't make it a week up in Minnesota with red lights facing any direction but to the rear of your truck or trailer they love to nail truckers for that up here. On another note I give those fenders about 2 or 3 months before they're hacked up or cracked up
well bruce the truck is starting to to look so sweet but i think maybe time for the under truck exhaust to go bring those stack back to life and no mufflers
This is the good Bruce I remember from the after hours diesel days getting down and dirty no fancy camera or audio work just good ole Bruce love you brother been my inspiration for a long time got me into diesels and everything I do now
I don't know I may be totally different having a nice truck is one thing I drove truck for 22 years the truck's always look good but if they didn't need something that didn't make money we didn't install it unless something broke and there was a better option than what the original was
Well theres a difference in truckers out there. You were a working man that had to use the truck to earn a living, so every penny spent better be spent in the right way. Then there are guys like Bruce that dont really need to work their trucks daily to earn their living so they have the option of spending more money to do all this jazz to the trucks. I like the way these fancy rigs look but im with you, if it dont make me money, it doesnt need to go on my rig...
@@jeremybrown9785 I haul 105,500 everyday. Always upgrading things to make the truck better. 850hp everyday and runs like a dream. I take pride in my truck and enjoy upgrading it. Brand new paint and chrome. Have fun at truck shows. It's my hobby
The front lights on trailer look sick, but I would have left some way to hook up one of your other trucks in case something happens to the Pete. Unless you are gonna move the lines on them to the rear also.
Without the rubber shock absorbin bushing the APU will eventually break the welds on its outer frame... The ENTIRE APU needs to be able to flex & shake a little
I know I’m days late and you probably know this, but take off the strap binders from the upper deck move them too the bottom deck and just buy 4 inch straps or whatever with hand binders.
@@Bruce_Wilson so bugs don't stick to them now?..well I guess it would be a little easier to clean them off if they weren't baked on...but it looks way cooler when they smoke. I know you put them on cause they look cool..I would still put heat shields and grab iron on. And at least when your truck goes through its occasional regeneration cycle they will blow out thick white/blueish smoke and it will look sorta cool but it will turn the tips a sickeningly shade of milk white..and it doesn't smell to good....sorta like burning plastic...you can thank the CALIFUCKINFORNIA AIR RESOURCE BOARD
Bruce that's not necessarily true you still use that truck for other trailers even if you put quick connect you can make adapters to go from quick connect to glade hand and vise versa you know what's up bro
Hey Mr. Bruce love the channel I just watch your latest video and was thinking that for your tie down along your trailer I would maybe make some type of bag cover for them all along your trailer so when it rains and snows they will be protected by the cover. Something as simple as a bag with a string could make the bag blue leather and with the logo just a thought stay safe out on the roads, sue from Illinois
Honestly Bruce, I'd leave the fuel tanks alone. You want to have some accents with all that blue and chrome goes well with the shade of blue on your truck.
Hi Bruce I'm a big fan of your TH-cam channel I was just wondering if you taken any requests on your truck I just saw your video today wouldn't be awesome to put some lights going down your frame of your trailer could that be possible make it look nice and rather than dark underneath it'll look nice
That would be cool but dude that truck can’t be comfortable that cab is super small lol I’ve never drove one that small I ran a Cascadia day cab and it was alright but who knows
Time to get the front end to go up and down so you can lay that bumper on the ground. ,Oh and white collar should get a 14l engine and man that would be the coolest pull truck.
That's almost what white collar cost, speaking of it, if Tim G can get the air force truck finished, a tug-o-war of air force-V-marines (white collar) would be a great show at Cletus-n-cars 😎😎
Hello, Mr. Bruce, it's like your friends think I'm a thief. My only problem is that I live in Iran and I have or have many restrictions. Thank you and your friends.
Don't worry buddy. Your viewers will send you some help on that 20K and you should get a little help from YT. When I watched it the thing had been up for 9hrs. and already had 43K views. Well done Bruce. Well done.❤🐘🇺🇸
I'm glad to see your doing something that actually makes the new BC look better, 😉, and the lettering on the trailer is pretty BA, I don't really like the painted-tank idea myself, but whatever, if your not going to fix-up the original BC truck Bruce, why not sell it to somebody who's ready willing-n-able to give it the attention it needs/deserves?, it would be nice too see it go to another YT'er, so we can watch it's evolution, if you're ever thinking about a price just remember, BC comes with it's own loyal subscriber-base, lol, just don't let BC go back to what it was when you got it.
All I'll say is don't live beyond your income. Take your time bruce as there is no rush to get this truck perfect as beauti ain't gonna pay bills. Opposite actually. We with you all the way even if it takes years to get it to where you want truck to be. Just take your time and remember what your UT roots are that got you where you are now. Also too much blue is not true. Gotta add some other colour to make a pop. All blue can be ugly. You need to add black tanks and black front grill or the eyes can't see all one colour without just fading off into bluetown. All looks the same you know what I mean
Who will be the first one to scratch and gouge the shiny guards when hooking up or dropping the trailer every truck I've ever driven had ordinary factory plastic guards and they were all ripped and torn by drivers going in to high or not dropping the bags low enough and when they pull out rear jumps up and guards get caught on trailer ,but then I've always driven fleet trucks maybe as an owner driver you don't have these oops events
Trailer was fixed? I must of missed that video. Holy hell that was ridiculous. I wouldn't have tolerated that for as omg as you did. Just glad was fixed.

So badass. Can't wait until Thursday. Ol blue collar is going to look so good.
This is the good Bruce I remember from the after hours diesel days getting down and dirty no fancy camera or audio work just good ole Bruce love you brother been my inspiration for a long time got me into diesels and everything I do now
The pete looks so cool! The blue color is amazing
Looking good Bruce. I finally got over to 75 chrome shop. Sure is a nice store for truck accessories. Be safe and looking forward to the finish look.
Would be more impressed if this was a older truck build into a show truck. New ones are a dime a dozen
Gonna be awesome when you get it painted and all done. Can't wait to see it finished
Can't wait for the Blue collar build. Exited to see this one finished. Looks damn sweet.
The truck will look beautiful but I let those tanks like that,it looks nice with chrome.Thanks for the video Bruce.
You could just have used gladhand seals for temporary shock absorbers for apu mount now you might endure with cracked radiator or condenser
I will say Bruce your truck is looking fantastic she’s a beautiful rig. I can’t wait to see the finishing product she’s a beauty.

My rig gets all the fancy stuff. Its an extension of me. Better look good.
2 ways to look at things 1 don't fix what's not broke 2 fix it and make it better before it ever breaks

My truck my money, I do whatever I want to it.
Don’t run caps on the drives when tires come due. One alligator comes off it’s bye bye fenders.
The front lights on trailer look sick, but I would have left some way to hook up one of your other trucks in case something happens to the Pete. Unless you are gonna move the lines on them to the rear also.
Wow Bruce. Love what you doing to the truck! I like these video's and video's where you are working with your trucks. Greetings from the Netherlands.
All worth it! Looks so amazing
Absolutely killing it with these latest mods
Can't wait to see her finished!

Another excellent video! And you're closing in on 600K!!!
Awesome build Bruce can't wait to see the full contact done 🤙🤙🤙🤙
When you get everything painted & all the lights on the truck & trailer it's gonna look since!!!!
That Pete is gonna look 👀 sharp once it’s completed, Bruce. Gotta pay 💰 to play, my friend.
Nooo painted tanks
Can’t wait to see more blue collar content.. that’s what I used to come here to see.. conventional truck content is a dime a dozen
Parts are on the way for bc
Genuinely curious, while installing the stacks, why wouldn’t you just hook the weed burner straight into them? Rather than leave them fake? Thanks!!
I wonder that too Dylan..it's stupid to spend all that money on chrome stacks .......and the damn things don't even smoke
Cause they would get hot and bugs would stick to them
@@Bruce_Wilson ahhh, makes sense. I never thought of that! Thanks for the response!

Much easier to wrap the tanks in vinyl.Vinyl lasts much longer than paint and can be istalled without removing the tanks.
Why paint the tanks? I think they look very good as chrome
I like the microphone quality, but it is insanely loud when you are drilling anything :(
Bruce that's not necessarily true you still use that truck for other trailers even if you put quick connect you can make adapters to go from quick connect to glade hand and vise versa you know what's up bro

Make sure everything whene putting it back together . Will cause less headaches some night on the side of the road.
Awesome work. She lights up very nice. Can't wait for paint. Keep up the great work guys!!
You always go the extra mile with your vehicles👍👍
BRUCE LOVE THE VIDEOS, keep up the good content! being from FLORIDA i love seeing florida content creators.
Beautiful truck! My favorite color blue.
Looking good mane. Loving the last few vids my guy.
Honestly Bruce, I'd leave the fuel tanks alone. You want to have some accents with all that blue and chrome goes well with the shade of blue on your truck.
Hi Bruce ,i am a long time follower from South Africa, Would it have not made more sence to do all thse mods before you purchased the truck?
Hi Bruce I'm a big fan of your TH-cam channel I was just wondering if you taken any requests on your truck I just saw your video today wouldn't be awesome to put some lights going down your frame of your trailer could that be possible make it look nice and rather than dark underneath it'll look nice
Don’t forget to paint the hubs on the rear tandoms!
You should do the old school square headlights like what's on legendary the truck would look alot better then those bug eyes
Does it still have the fake stacks on it and running the exhaust out under the truck that is odd !!
Looking good can't wait to see it all done
Why not put a thick piece of rubber between the APU and the frame to cut down on vibration
Id love to see this truck when its done at the waupun truck and show here in Wisconsin one year
Bruce them fenders looks awesome really appreciate the videos buddy keep them coming 👍
Need to build that day cab cabover for a show truck. Everyone has a peterbilt noone has tha lil day cab
It’s coming
That would be cool but dude that truck can’t be comfortable that cab is super small lol I’ve never drove one that small I ran a Cascadia day cab and it was alright but who knows
I'd get some more aggressive traction tires, like some M725s. Or some white letters.
Ole Bruce….. like watching a train wreak.
How do you mean?
Have you looked into the hidden def tanks. Would look really good on your truck.
Really need to put rubber on that apu the vibrations are gonna cause lots of issues
Time to get the front end to go up and down so you can lay that bumper on the ground. ,Oh and white collar should get a 14l engine and man that would be the coolest pull truck.
beautiful job
God job Bruce, continius....
Those fenders will plug up with snow. :)
Nice looking truck like the color my daughter favorite color .its the little that make it pop
He’s doing a great job fixing up the Pete And then he will fix his other two semi trucks
That's a great looking rig! I'm sure she'll catch eyes at the shows
That's almost what white collar cost, speaking of it, if Tim G can get the air force truck finished, a tug-o-war of air force-V-marines (white collar) would be a great show at Cletus-n-cars 😎😎
Love the work you are getting to the truck. It's gonna be awesome when done
Aren’t you going to hook up the exhaust
Rubber isolaters are for the vibration through chassis into cab, not the noise of the apu running outside lol
Yes I realize that
@@Bruce_Wilson I figured you did just got a chuckle at that clip. That’s something I would do
I got my own version of the trater taxi on ATS. 👍🏻
I like the content. Don’t see those fenders surviving all the equipment hauling.
So which exhaust is the fake one the stacks or the pipe underneath
Been many truck shows and never seen a truck completely 1 colour do any good is what I'm trying to say below
Hello, Mr. Bruce, it's like your friends think I'm a thief. My only problem is that I live in Iran and I have or have many restrictions. Thank you and your friends.
keep the clips coming
Don't worry buddy. Your viewers will send you some help on that 20K and you should get a little help from YT. When I watched it the thing had been up for 9hrs. and already had 43K views. Well done Bruce. Well done.❤🐘🇺🇸
Man does that camera man have a Michael Myers mask on or what 🤣🤣🤣 man’s got some strong lungs
I can’t even afford a new paint job for my 379 after I got ripped off last time. It sure adds up quickly.
great video Bruce
Truck has to much color should have kept the chrome

Beautiful truck bruce them fenders are tacky though
Truck is looking awesome man!!
Labor of love... Nice rig.....
Great Work.
GOD BLESS...
Finally....been waiting on this. 😁 Lookin better. Painted its all gonna look sick.
Who will be the first one to scratch and gouge the shiny guards when hooking up or dropping the trailer every truck I've ever driven had ordinary factory plastic guards and they were all ripped and torn by drivers going in to high or not dropping the bags low enough and when they pull out rear jumps up and guards get caught on trailer ,but then I've always driven fleet trucks maybe as an owner driver you don't have these oops events
Just my opinion I think Gray or black fenders and tanks would look better seems like there is to much blue
Fenders look awesome!
Can’t hide money 👍🏻 going to look good when done
He has three Semi trucks he has to fix blue-collar Cabover 2 fix the new One he bought the white Cabover and now he’s fixing his Peterbilt
Trailer was fixed? I must of missed that video. Holy hell that was ridiculous. I wouldn't have tolerated that for as omg as you did. Just glad was fixed.
Please go to a good on-camera mic setup, you're always having issue with the wireless mics.
And the sound is weird with them
Or, might sound weird, film with iPhones. Plenty of TH-camr do it and the quality is awesome, sound and visual also
I know this is being picky but I still thought it looked 💯 better with the lug nut axle covers on the wheels
Random thought about your exhaust couldn’t you back the dpf up a little bit and then y off to your stacks or is there no room to move it back
Could really do with some different headlights.
lotta work!!
looks damn good
Still waiting on Blue Collar to get this type of treatment.
That thing is going to look sweet!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Truck is beautiful
Keep it and use it for you're own use
