Hello everyone,

Can anyone provide a place that sales parts to totally restore an old 379 Pete or at least the parts I listed below?

I recently purchased a 1987 Pete 379 with a 3406B, 3.55 rears, 10 speed and would like to make some upgrades such as tilt steering, seats, gauges, new fuse box, Ac/heat and lighting. I want truck to be comfortable and safe for work.

I have an '89

Steering column you could find at a junkyard. LKQ or Vanderhaags. Mine is tilt and made by Douglas Autotech. Not sure if they still have complete columns but they were able to sell me the locking ring for the top. Peterbilt had the horn button

Gauges I've bought off ebay. LKQ and Vanderhaags would have those too

My fuse box is made up of Dillblox. You can buy all the components and put one together yourself. Not sure if the '87 used them or not

AC/heat was supplied by Red Dot. They still have parts available. you might be able to find a diagram of your system behind the heater core cover. There was one behind mine
