Making noise in a 57 Peterbilt

My friend Justin took scott smiths peterbilt for a cruise during the brooks truck show at night. This was taken in August. Sounds good! It needs the jakes installed badly.

How is the 75 Peterbilt with the 12v71 coming along? Is it still apart?

[Hotrodx199]

@bj99ful oh yeah it's still apart, i dont see it running anytime soon

I'm not normally a fan of straight pipe as I don't like a lot of noise while I'm driving but I have to admit that this is a sound that I could certainly get used to and even enjoy.

@bj99ful Yeah it's a sound you can't pass up. It's a sound with listening to, plus you don't have the turbo screaming drowning out your hearing too lol.

Pure music from a 275 or 300 in those days.

@etihwtaerg---Pretty simple matter of taking out the 2 stick set up it had in 57, putting in a 13 speed that of course is one stick. The "DUEL" truck was a 55 Pete, had a 5 and 3 originally, as well as having a "275" originally, but when I drove it in 1970, it had been updated to a 13 speed and Cat motor.
