Pete68 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I started this truck last year sometime I was wondering if a AMT Cabover Peterbilt would work on a AMT little window Peterbilt frame. So far so good. I’ve used some spare parts I had laying around and one I found was a Battery Box lid from my brother Bill’s old Pete Cabover he built around 1970 thought it would be a classy touch to the truck. This is what I have so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Looking nice so far. I like the green with the shite stripe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Looks good, why are you doing it, for the longer chassis or is a leftovers job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never built one of these Cabovers with a long chassis seen one in a pic one time and always wanted to build one like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 It looks grand! It's longer than the kit chassis but not overly much. Looks like something you would see on the road in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike yes after I striped I thought has to be a 1973-74 I’ll be putting the low pro Air conditioner on it from the Pete T-501 kit. Thanks for the complement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete68 Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks JT for the complement. I’m kind stumped on the back wheels at the moment I’ll probably go with Freightliner ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
