That truck is for sure saveable depending on the time and tools you own, I personally think you should fix it instead of parting it out.

@@MetalMusicManiac yes but would you dump a ton on money on a worn semi just to get it on the road and new motor? who knows might need new breaks, tires after etc. Its just not worth it unless you got ton of money to waste. Everyone on their keyboards always saying they want to see it put back on the road etc but dont realize the cost it takes also dont forget it also needs inspection, paperwork etc and that alone is a ton of money. A car is different and much cheaper but still alot of work and money, but for these semi's its about 3-4 times the cost.

@@toddcromwell l hope to god he saves it though mate, more trucks need keeping on the road especially now that peterbilt are stopping the 389 , it might not be vintage or particularly rare now but eventually everything becomes collectible because stuff goes extinct far too quickly, imagine how many Hayes, auto cars, Marmons, gmc dodges, whites and needle noses etc got sent to the crusher just because weren’t collectible right there and then, gives me chest pains just thinking about it tbh. In retrospect I think that’s why he got so much hate over the w900, ok we all understand now that it wasn’t a viable restoration project and that was better being broke down for parts, l think it was more the way he did it that upset people so much, it could have been stripped down more productively so that stuff like the glass etc didn’t go to waste
