I Bought A $275K Peterbilt! 

For the exhaust please put active stacks on it not the fake ones, do the bullet cab lights and visor seperate, i think it would look better with taking the red out of the badges. Also a good apu unit and lots of lights lol. Other then that love that color blue. Congrats on a well deserved purchase

Nice ride I’m glad to see you’re keeping old blue collar. As far as the new ride goes the bullet lights and drop visor to keep it classy. Nice sounding air horns possibly.dual straight pipe exhaust nothing ridiculous huge.Full wheel fenders painted if possible. And train horns just because.

Old school all the way!! Sleeper and cab drop panels, a thiC!! Visor, traditional 5 cab light or 9 would be ok, lights everywhere and switch backs like blue collar, some sexy flat top stacks deck plate. I mean a guy can just go on and on with little things here and there. Man can’t wait to see that thing doing work. Congratulations sir..

Bullet clearance lights, visor, leave the red in the Peterbilt keep it old school. As for the gauges on the dash. I would take the front axle and rear axel gauges to the left of the switches. Put them all the way to the left one above the other in that void and move the switches to the left closer to the driver. Beautiful truck.

Agreed… active stacks. There’s nothing worse than seeing a sweet left lane large car with a nice pair of 8 inch Dynaflex stacks with a grass burner exhaust underneath. Definitely remove the red from the ovals. Bullet clearance lights are a must… especially going old school. You need some Double JJ headlights for that old school 359 look. Add some cab and sleeper panels with the little bullet lights along the bottom edge. Finish it off with a set of deep drop half fenders. Oh and don’t forget the train horns.

I like the factory emblems, bullet lights, separate visor. One thing that I don't like that probably doesn't bother anyone else though is the headlights.

Knew it. Super pumped for you Bruce. Although blue collar isn't going anywhere she needs a grand retirement to just a occasional truck and enjoy it without wearing it out. Now your new peterbilt will take all the pressure of blue collar. It will look an awesome truck when it's done.

Congrats Bruce!!!!! you have some old school look going, do a drop visor with a full row of lights on top of the cab, do a bumper with hidden mounting bolts, 8 inch curve out pipes with picket elbows and they need to be hooked up!!! fake pipes are not cool! put like 7 more grille bars in the grille, and get rid of that mid ship light above the fuel tanks!!!!!! there is so much you can do to a Pete!!!! I have a buddy that has a glider kit from them with a 550 Cat in it what a nice truck! can't wait so see what you do to the Big Girl!!!!!!

I most definitely would go with the visor with lights built in. No holes in the roof. No seals to go bad and start leaking into the cab.

The 5 lights on the cab would look the best keep it simple keep it nice.

Congrats, that's a really nice truck. Looking to seeing it after it gets all the accessories put on.

BUYING A NEW TRUCK IS SOMETHING SPECIAL, NOT EVERY TRUCKER IS THAT LUCKY, YOU DID A GREAT JOB. CONGRATS, YOU WORK HARD AND DESERVE THE BEST.

Bullet cab lights, separate visor, leave the red in the emblems, air cleaner lights and chicken lights down each side. Look freakin awesome!

You should keep it classic looking keep the Peterbilt logos red, have the 5 clearance lights on the roof and maybe some classic early 359 dual lense headlights

Bruce that’s definitely a sick looking truck that you have baught for sure!! I’m definitely a big fan of the blue for sure!! I actually have several trucks that are blue in color also!! I have a 1981 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 that was a fire truck and baught brand new by the fire station and I’m definitely wanting to have it painted blue also!! I can’t weight to see more on the Pett!!!!!

When I saw this truck I just thought "blue thunder" I had a brand new Pete 579 . When I got it it bnb only had 333 miles on it. And those were towed miles. It was piggy backed to the terminal. I worked at TMC trucking out of des Moines Iowa. Drove for them for 5 years. Ended up being a driver trainer. Made great money was home every weekend. I had a new baby and decided to come home off the road. I do miss the windshield time. I loved that office with a window view! Made alot of friends out there. I hit all 48 states. Maybe some day I'll get back out there..... that's a beautiful truck Bruce. Congratulations! Enjoy it.

Breather lights, 20in blind mount bumper, 8inch stacks, 7 clearance lights across the top for that mean mugging look, rear window visor, nasty low bow tie visor, low quarter fenders or half’s either would look good like Greg A’s on his Pete

Not having stacks just makes the whole truck look goofy lol damn sharp truck regardless congrats!!

Congraduations on the new truck best of luck with her Bruce can't wait to see what you come up with with decking it out you work hard for you and your family you deserve it just hope your able to enjoy it with the price of fuel going up every day she a beauty

Glad to hear that's your New Peterbilt. Awesome color too it will look great however you set it up stay safe Bruce 👍

Congrats Bruce you’ve earned it many times over 😎🇺🇸👍🏻🦅

I’d want a Right Weigh “load scale” in one of the empty gauge spots … I definitely like the red Peterbuilt oval. 😎

Congrats on your Peterbilt purchase Bruce; 5 bullet lights in the centre,1 either side of the cab.. Gotta have 8’ or 10’ straight stacks that Peterbilt look.. Painted drop visor… Paint match cab skirts kit.. All the best,looking forward to see you wrench on the new rig 🤙😎

That is one magnificent truck, well done on your purchase and I am sure it will only get better with your own modifications.

On the new truck you should put a drop bumper on it, a visor, and some nice fenders on the rear and you'll have your self a good Pete

Congrats man on the new ride! Rlk flat bottom ultra visor Rlk 3 tight breather lights 7 inch active stacks with flat top and shields with grab handle for old school touch 5 bullet cab lights with the 3 middle lights tight. Half fenders to keep that sleeper dent free.

Definitely do the cab lights on the roof. 7 or 9 would look sweet. Nice painted visor would be cool and match the air cleaners. Get some hogebuilt fenders on there too 👌

I use to build custom everything on my trucks at my machine and fab shop. Custom Pete Logos were cool, and loved all my stainless and aluminum dash and interior pieces. 20 inch minimum bumper, 38 or 42 back fenders but careful as the 42s easy to crunch, 20 gangster visor a must. My 389 was a 290 inch, front bagged as well, Bright Teal and Bad Ass Beautiful. Seriously, just keep up All the performance and running gear, oil changes and everything and keep a meticulous log of EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING and go make money 1st and pay it off fast. Great Luck to you young man.

I think it needs the old school round headlights & full visor

Congrats on the truck Bruce! Been a long time coming. Wish we had something like these in the uk. Wouldn’t be much good for me collecting milk from farms tho. It wouldn’t have a front end for long anyways 😂 👍

Beautiful rig bro... The blue is awesome man. Congratulations on it, and good luck. So glad to hear your keeping blue coller.

Unbelievable Truck Bruce ! Can’t wait to see the next video

Call it the "Blue Stallion". Keep the red badges, lite up the whole truck, chrome where you can, extra wide front bumper, covers over the rear axles. Trick it out. It will be a show piece for the channel.

That generator trick is just genius

Awesome looking truck!!! Keep the red logos, stacks for sure. Definitely a visor and big chrome bumper.

Good looking truck! Stacks, bumper, visor, and more chicken lights!

Bro pullin money out the ass lmao. Don’t make yourself a target. 2 new rams a hanger, airplane a hobby business, guns, a baby, trailers a new peterbuilt cabover upgrades. Fresh off probation def gonna make people think g.

How in the heck do you do it? I’ve watched you go through several pickups and flat and nasty. You had two different diesel repair shops again since I’ve been watching you. Then one day you were gone but thanks to Tim Gentry he let us know some of the reasons why you were gone and where you were. He actually did a lot to keep people interested in you. He stood up for you when a lot of people didn’t. Now you’ve got your dads old tractor business and your out blowing money like a drunk sailer. I really do think your out busting your butt, and for your wife and kid sake I hope so. Your new truck is awesome!!! I really do like you and I still think your a excellent diesel mechanic. Just would like some reassurance that everything is on the up and up.

Definitely the classic bullet clearance lights, and get some chrome for the weather stripping around your windshield.

That's a beautiful truck! I'd definitely go for the chrome stacks with the outlet angle to the rear, maybe the teardrop cab lights (the bullet ones would look good too) maybe some pinstriping??? .....maybe the swan hood ornament (nah, just kidding...only if you want to) 😅 and some pointy lug covers for the front wheels. And for the two gauges..engine oil temperature and mini fridge temp😄 🚛

$275k? I bought a 379 in 2002 that cost $135k +/-… I had a tough time with the $2800 per month nut on that… How the hell are you going to make any money with those $4500 per month payments on $275k? A lot of guys believe that making the payment on their truck is considered part of their profit… WRONG. It’s no more part of your profit than fuel is… it’s a depreciating asset. Not only do you need to make the crazy payments but you also need to set aside the cost of the depreciation over the next five years… What will it be worth once it’s paid for? 100k… 125k? Now, subtract the difference between what you paid an what it’s worth… $150k… now divide that by 60 months and you’ll see why your not making any REAL profit. You need to set an additional $2500 per month aside for depreciation… so now your at over 7k per month. That’s the real cost of purchasing a $275k truck… I wish all of you the best of luck because in this day and age… luck is all you can hope for…

You know you crab about how Blue Collar breaks down a lot but when you started fixing it up it was all about the CHROME and GOODIES and getting it done quick !!! Maybe like any good truck owner you should have taken care of a lot of these mechanical issues before the goodies ! It's a 30 year old truck with a bunch of miles on it why don't you start again with it and do it right !! Step by step you would have some good videos rather than bragging about all your toys and new Peterbuilt !!! The old freightliner is a nice old truck !! Save your new truck money and do a complete frame up restoration on it !! Good luck with what ever you do but don't let your head swell to big just because you have a new Peterbuilt !!!!

For this truck, I would personally do classic cab lights, vertical breather lights, classic visor, the neumatic risor bumper, and a big aluminum headache rack to start

God damn that’s a beauty truck Clearance lights on the cab ! And a stand alone visor !

Congratulation on the new truck, stay safe out there.

Just wow, awesome truck . Platinum interior is badass! And of course, a manual transmission !!!

Nice looking Pete will look good with blue and amber Dual revolution lights , I think you should put the clearance lights untop of the cab

Nice truck Bruce.. big pipes that are functional. Some of them "higher flow louder mufflers" like your mega cab, old school looks will be good. The plastic is UHMU

Beautiful new truck Bruce! Congratulations.

Congratulations on the new truck my opinion keep it old school and keep the red classic...can't wait to see what you do with it!!

8inch active Exhaust, 5 cab mount marker liights with train horns, breather lights, put marker lights under the sleeper and cab, and do a drop bumper, also do a full catwalk and paint matched full tub fenders. Then have fun.

Lighted visor. 8 inche. Stacks. AWSOME truck!!!

Classic bullet lights with drop visor !! Leave the Pete emblem like they are! Very nice truck!!

Oh hell yeah I knew that truck was gonna be yours for some reason I knew it beautiful Peterbilt yeah Bruce keep the lights on school and get a awesome visor and definitely blue-collar needs The royal treatment can’t wait to see blue color being fixed up👍🏼

Absolutely beautiful!! I love the color blue’s my favorite.

Classic bullet clearance lights. Horns on top. Bow tie drop down visor. 20'" tapered front bumper!!

Old school all the way Bruce, visor with out lights for sure 👌🏼 can't wait to see more on the new rig, blue collar can now rest up for now. Name for it should be blue stallion for sure

Fantastic truck, I personally would keep the red Pete logo as that looks just so right especially against the blue paint, what a fabulous lady in any case!

Awesome to see you guys back and going Bruce!!

Battery charger and generator...man GENIUS! Keep rollin' brother

Congratulations on a good looking truck will be great for hauling tractors and whatever else definitely go with the visor but put the bullet lights on top and of course active exhaust stacks

Proud of you man you come from a low point now your back new business and new truck two kids wife happy for ya

I'd put a visor on it and then traditional five bullet cab lights a set of active stacks not the fake stuff maybe a apu and leave the traditional Peterbilt emblem! Love your new truck! Peterbilt is the best!

That's sharp Bruce and I had a feeling when I seen the first video of the blue Peterbilt that it was yours already, the Fitzgerald brothers let it slip lol, but congratulations to you on the new Peterbilt, and yes blue collar made this channel and needs some attention to it and never let it go 👍, thanks again for the video Bruce

I grew up about 20 miles outside of Macon. In a small town called Milledgeville. Man I'm glad to see you uploading on a regular basis again man

Appreciate the love and respect you have for your previous ride. I am not from the trucking industry at all BUT it's interesting to see how many people claim to know all of your financial details? I guess because they struggle with a single source of income they assume you do as well? Cheers, has to be an exciting time to take delivery of something so "sweet". 275K is an incredible amount of money but man its gorgeous. Going to follow along as you deck her out with all your personal upgrades.

Raised roof goes by the nickname “stand up”sleeper. That’s what the Peterbilt sleepers that big are called with a raised roof then there’s the flat tops. It kinda looks like the old 63 inch stand up sleepers that you find on the old 379 models

Bullet lights up top 3 in the center one on each side big drop Visor and 10" Stove pipes

Very pumped to see u makin this purchase

I would say that color matched full rear fenders would absolutely be a requirement. Bit this truck is sick. I hope you enjoy the tears of all the Kenworth guys.

Good luck with your new rig Bruce! Definitely load it up old school, and I'd keep he red emblems, at least for a little while to see how you like them. You could also offset the emblems with red cab lights and such. Either way keep up the awesome videos partner! 🤙

Clasic red emblems .... All the cab lights that will fit .... Window chops and big straight drop visor ... EPA dismantled with 8inch bull horns and some big drop half fenders.

Super clean truck love the blue, id take the red out of the badges chrome it up, chuck some bullet lights on the cab have seperate visor. huge ups to you going brand spanking new look foward to seeing it out on missions, road runner could be a cool name for it.

Drop visor. Full clearance lights across the cab with clear lenses. Side boxes with steps and mud flaps

Go with the visor lights. Roof lights? Potential water leaks. Chrome stacks. Looks great, best wishes on your new ride!!! God bless!

Classic glass 3 & 2 bullet lights. Round air horns. Classic visor. Red emblems. Old school double round headlights. Full polished rear fenders.

I would put the fiberglass panels around the bottom of the cab and sleeper with 1/4 inch button lights. And a 20 inch drop bumper. 8 inch stove top stacks.

5 bullit lights on the cab a reasonable drop visor or bowtie. 6 or 7" miter cut stacks. Half fenders and a classic bumper with piano hinged plate holder under it.

Congratulations 2u & Good 4u bruce!!!!

Awesome beautiful Bruce. I am so proud for you, God bless bro, keep up the awesome job, Mr Animal.

Bow tie visor bullet cab lights 7 in Mitter stacks with a 18in 9 4inch light bumper and humped paint match fender

Definitely bullet lights and true dual stacks, keep the red emblems and keep the front bumper that style just chrome instead of off blue

7 or 9 bullet lights, drop vizier! Working 8in stacks! Front and back breather lights! At least 1/2 fenders if not full over the drive tires! And yes take the Red out of the Peterbilt emblems!!! Congratulations on the new Ride‼️💯❤️🇨🇦😎

Congratulations. Beautiful truck. Do cab lights and a nice drop visor. Make look old school.

Congrats Bruce, been enjoying the videos since your return to youtube

Congratulations on your new truck.

Congratulations Bruce Wilson buying that Peterbilt but I think that it needs some stacks on the back off the cab I got a really good name for the Peterbilt Blue Collar mk2 I can't wait too see you driving the new Peterbilt.

I love that!! because i know a lot of us that watch all your vids will say some choice words if you mention the sale of blue collar cabbie. But I love that you want to make it into your show truck like i mean your version of a decent work for me show truck. you both deserve that.

I work for Transwest in Denver and we are moving north but I was born and raised in Florida and we all need one there or 4. I got you Bruce

Congratulations bro you've come along way 💯

I think a visor with lights in it, this way you don't have to drill holes in the roof like you have to with the other roof light system ( less chances of leaks down the road )

Congratulations Bruce

8” Stovetop pipes, sleeper lights, bullet clearance lights, chrome visor, cab mount air horns, chrome bumper, bumper with side mount maker lights, air cleaner lights, deck plate, chrome half fenders, 379 style headlights, aluminum saddle boxes, and probably more lights and for good measure add a few more lights

Great video Bruce

Congratulations on your new truck god bless and stay safe

Congratulations Bruce, that's a nice rig

Install fiberglass screen in front of the grill to stop bugs from going through the radiator and plugging it up!. Last time I was in Florida love bugs all over the place. And you know what bug I'm talkin about LOL beautiful truck

Bullet cab lights maybe bull hauler type stacks would look pretty good

Congratulations Bruce ! What a beauty 💪🏻👍🏻

A beautiful Pete Keep it old skool. Bullet lights, stacks etc
