bonehead23 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I got the Pete as soon as it hit the shelf, and had an old box from an ancient LN-8000 city delivery...so i shortened the box, frame, and bed, moved the axles forward, and dug out an old Great Dane extendable trailer from ages ago. i cut it down a bunch and fitted it into the box. Now you open the door, imaginary hydraulics push the bed out and it becomes a loading ramp; then you crank the inner ber back inside using a '34 pickup towing boom winch and some thread...it works! This is the Black Widow racing team rig, with the Black Widow Allison-powered digger in back. The "mock-up" model is a Slingster streamliner but was replaced later with the Widow. I got this idea from Googling Tommy Ivo's rigs. Edited December 20, 2014 by bonehead23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Now this is cool. Your definitely thinking outside the box. These petes are so smooth to build. I have a case of them. You do very nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Another interesting build......Nice work.....I like the open side panels....That's a pretty cool idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead23 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 The side openings are filled with clear sheet plastic! This is not quite like Tommy Ivo's Dodge, but the idea came from that rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
