1st year Peterbilt


Recommended Posts

Fine old truck, nice to see it brought back.

I think there may be a little mistake in the article, saying the team had over "200" hours in the resto. Make that more like 2000.

200 hours is ONE guy working FIVE WEEKS. Nope.

It's strange how small those trucks were compared to what they have now.

A Ford Super Duty pickup is almost as big.

Yes, the pickups are all stupidly huge these days, for no good reason (no functional reason, anyway).

That is neat (both the 1-1 and Tim's scale version).

You can see the family resemblance between those early Peterbilt trucks and the last of the Fageol trucks.

San Francisco Fire Department's 1936 Fageol rescue truck.
