1966 Peterbilt conventional


Recommended Posts

This build will be a companion to my 1966 Peterbilt cabover. It will be a typical period west coast 2 axle narrow nose. I will be using  parts from 3 kits and several aftermarket suppliers. The  Pacemaker for the frame,  the California Hauler for the cab, and White Freightliner SD for the 250 Cummins and Rockwell R 170 with springs suspension. Narrow nose 281 conversion  from AITM, wheels  will be from Keystone and Moluminum,  tires from Double Take.  Yes,  builds start to get expensive, but, they would be impossible without the recent affordable re issues and  the aftermarket support.

Thanks for the positive comments, here is another shot of the giant R 170 single drive rear axle ( correct for this application ), much larger than the axle found in most, if not all,  AMT tandems.

Thanks for the measurements.

Looks like it's coming along very nicely.
