leafsprings Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) The 1966 2 axle narrow nose Peterbilt 281 conventional is ready to hit the road. Has been very rewarding to build a unit exactly the way I wanted it, thanks again to the recent re issues and aftermarket goodies available.

leafsprings Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks for all the positive comments. Special thanks to the Peterbilt guru, Tim Ahlborn, for inspiring me to build these '66 Pete's. Last minute add on's, stainless sun visors.

stenfalk Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A model that focuses on the basics of a truck. And a role model that embodies exactly that. One of my favorites here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
