Nice pics, I want more!!! I like the 352, I have one I'd like to build if I find a donor frame for it. By the way, more pics of the wrecker, too!!

I'll get more, i have to transfer um to photobucket to get um on here, i have pic's of his, the sister truck to his a pete w a jerr dan, my older pete w a 3035 nomar, my white w a 750 holmes and an NRC wheel lift, we also have a restored 65 narrownose pete, a 78 big hood, 3408 and a 5 and a 4 365" wheelbase.

the 352 is a neat lil truck, 360k on it, very nice for being a farm truck, picked it up in s jersey. i'll put a lotta picks of it on as we do a mini resto on it. i'll also find pic's of the resto of the 44, she was a BASKETCASE!!!

A 1944 Pete? Funny, I didn't think they restarted Pete production until 1945-46 due to World War II.

Only ones you could get were for agri use..ie this being a logging truck. it is a fully documented 1944 out of montana and said to be the oldest known pete in the east.(thats come forth) being most were logging trucks of sort any left appear to be out west. i passed up another 44 that someone @ the old pocono pete was staring to restore and for some reason stopped, ran across it on ebay a couple years age only prob. was most of the good stuff was missing..
