Hi, CrateCruncher. I'm gonna start another Peterbilt project. It will be custom with long wheel base to accept 160" sleeper, with lower suspension and plenty of extras. By the way, if you have pictures of Pete's rear low suspension brackets I would very appreciate it.

Thank you, I didn't know that.
