I agree. Maybe some people have nothing better to do than bash other peoples stuff, when they have nothing to prove for themselves. If you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything.

not exactly my style, but it looks pretty sweet. Its definitely different, and i can really see the PETE influence, a buddy of mine has a PETE thats almost the same color blue. Its not a cummins though, hes gat the 600 horse CAT. Its *** up to be bashing other peoples stuff on here, a little criticism is one thing but calling something that someone put sweat and blood into is a pretty shitty thing to do, but maybe thats just me...

A piece of information you 2nd generation Cummin's guys should know,.....
If you have problems with the engine wanting more air than the filter box can provide, cut five(5) 1" holes in the bottom of the filter box. The air flow through the right fender is not enough to keep up with engine demand.

Yeah, the rear bumper is different. I have to keep it on since it is also my farm truck, so I needed a bumper that could withstand some pulling. I plan on "moulding" it to fit the style of the truck, so it doesn't look AS tacky.

I never said my truck looked like a Peterbilt, it represents one though. Stacks higher than the cab, whips pointed forward, etc. But it is amazing how much the exhaust can interfear with the CB, took me by surprise. I also only have one whip hooked up, since the two are only 6.5' apart instead of 8'

The reason I made my truck the way it stands is to look different, hense the name. It seems to me that a lot of trucks look too much alike. All my friends say my truck represents a Peterbilt, and stands out in a good way. The stacks and whips are the way they are for two reasons, exhaust noise interfearing with CB reception, and looks.
