leafsprings Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Build was to represent a West Coast mid 60's Pete cabover. A very nice resin cab was located on ebay, then added features typically found on the West Coast in the mid 60's. 5 Hole Alcoa aluminum front wheels with center point front axle, steel Budds on the rear, 250 6 cylinder Cummins and longer frame. Color is metallic maroon. Edited September 14, 2019 by leafsprings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1959scudetto Posted October 6, 2019 Very nice western rig, Tommy - with a brighter red (without the white accents) it could go for an old PIE truck ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leafsprings Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks for all the positive comments. I plan to change out the modified painted front wheels with real aluminum 5 hole wheels from Keystone and replace the small air horn will with a much larger Kenworth unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leafsprings Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Added bare metal foil to fuel tanks and air cleaner to keep that old Peterbilt tradition alive, the "touch of class" Edited July 11, 2020 by leafsprings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I'm finally calling this one done! Added some Keystone aluminum front wheels along with some Double Take rubber all the way around. Larger air horn and some more bare metal foil added to side vents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
