landman Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) My wife's cousin's husband has made this 3/4 scale Peterbilt to tow his fifth wheel camping trailer. It is a real cab narrowed and lowered mounted on a GMC or Chevy 1 ton tow truck chassis. Edited January 28, 2022 by landman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Now that is cool! Can you imagine the look on the truckers faces when that thing passes them on the highway? 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The skills some people have amazes me. They're the kind of folks I wish had lived near me when I was growing up. I'd have swept their floors just to hang around and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a 3/4 scale KW900 on a trip to WAAAM last year in Hood River. It had a Perkins diesel under the hood painted in Cummins tan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 There was a body shop down the road from me. A friend of the owner (Randy) was working on one of these for a long time. If I recall right the body was all done waiting on paint and windows. I believe it was scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called my buddy and I was wrong it was not a 3/4 scale but a custom that was sitting very low on a different frame but out back in the brush. He said his son picked it up after dad moved up north. It was at the shop for decades. I guess It just looked smaller to my eye from so far away. sorry about the miss information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
