This month\u2019s creation was built, once again, for Wade and Kayla Holtman of East Grand Forks, MN.\u00a0 Back in May 2018<\/a>, we built these folks a nice orange Peterbilt, and we titled the story \u201cGood To Go!\u201d\u00a0 Well, now, four years later, this black beauty is their latest ride, and it is \u201cGood To Go, Too!\u201d\u00a0 As an old Peterbilt ad once said, \u201cClass\u2026 More Than Meets The Eye\u201d \u2013 and this truck certainly fits that bill, even though it looks like just another black truck.<\/p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder

The last truck we built for Wade and Kayla worked out well, but when he started running into Manitoba, Canada, he was forced to shorten the truck\u2019s wheelbase, so when it came time to order this new one, he picked a \u201clegal\u201d length.  The truck he had before the orange one was black, so when he decided to order this last new one before they quit making them, he said he had to go back to black.  Over the last few years, Wade has been building a \u201cdream list\u201d for this last one and spent some late nights thinking up ideas for this build.  He said, \u201cThere is a lot of time to think, especially at night, when some are sleeping.\u201d  We all know how that goes.<\/p>

As mentioned in the previous article, Wade and Kayla have two children \u2013 Billy (15) and Maveryk (10).  Kayla was a hairdresser at local a shop, but she recently purchased her own salon in their town called \u201cSalon East\u201d in East Grand Forks, MN.  Between the new business venture and kids playing sports, including hockey, golf, and football, things are pretty busy at home.  But that doesn\u2019t stop Wade from trucking hard!<\/p>

The new truck is a 2022 Peterbilt 389 with a 48\u201d flattop, a \u201clegal\u201d but respectable length, an X15 Cummins hooked to an 18-speed, and loaded up with all the good stuff.  It is also one of the last ones built with the old gauges.  Since Wade kept in touch with us after purchasing the orange truck, the build went easy \u2013 not fast, but easy.  KC Peterbilt did all the paint work, but Tyler at NRC (No Rush Customs) did just about everything else.  Tyler told Wade, \u201cYou better not be in a hurry,\u201d and Wade answered, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter when I get it, my orange truck is doing just fine.\u201d  What a great attitude!<\/p>

This one, I have to say, turned out so sweet.  All blacked out and built with a 359 vibe, the truck is now fitted with a 359 dash, one of my body drop kits, a Spare Time Fab 359-style interior, Shift fenders, a painted floor, NT Lights (baby blue) for the gauges inside, a stainless grill crown from 12 Ga. Customs, and countless other small changes from Wade\u2019s \u201cdream list\u201d of things he wanted to do.  He decided this was going to be a \u201ckeeper\u201d truck, so he went all out.  We appreciate his patience and friendship.  This build wasn\u2019t fast, but now it is \u201cGood To Go, Too!\u201d and already out there working.<\/p>

One last note: my kids had been telling me I should do a TikTok video, so this was the first truck I did one on \u2013 I actually did two!  My kids thought they were cool, so I feel like it was a success!  You can check them out by searching #koolpetes or clicking here<\/a> and here<\/a>!!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
