Aaronw Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) So today while driving home I saw a "Peterbilt" dually, which looked a lot like the Revell kit of a Chevy with a Peterbilt looking front end (Midnight Cowboy wrecker, others). I always thought this was just a fantasy truck dreamed up by Revell. Was there actually a company out there making fiberglass hoods to make Chevy trucks into little Peterbilts in the 80s?What I saw today may have been a one off custom but it looked very much like the Midnight Cowboy kit with a dually bed instead of a wrecker. While in good shape it looked like it has been around, and working for a living not living the cushy life of a show truck. I'm hoping it is a local truck so I might be able to get a photo.

Petetrucker07 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've never seen one before. I've only seen full conversions for a dually chassis, not a front clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapazleo Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 There have been several small companies that have made big rig conversions for pu's of varying degrees. The Revell kit you mention dates back to the 70's as the sneaky pete kit. I've seen one's close the kit but not exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
