66 Peterbilt 351 semi custom truck

I'm working on getting my Dad's 66 Peterbilt butterfly hood 351 custom truck finished in tribute to him. He passed away in Jan. 2019 from brain cancer. It was his project truck and he was happy that I told him that I would finish it for him.

He fabricated the front bumper/radiator mounts, the cab mounts, the engine and trans mounts, and other misc big items installed. He installed a 8.3 Cummins and an Eaton 6 speed manual trans in it.

I just extended the stacks and installed Peterbilt heat shields on them. I still have to fab up the front fender inner skirts so I can install the custom front fenders. It's going to have a beavertail style flatbed deck so that I can haul my 72 Monte Carlo on it, and take them both to car/truck shows and events.
