mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Here's a project I started in '06 - and decided to work on it some more. A 2006 Peterbilt 357 Vocational Hood 6x6 for Schlumberger. Here's how it looks tonight (11/29/10) I'm using the spec's from two different trucks - but the general idea will be something close to this 357 Additional build pics are on The Workbench Thanks for looking!

M. Scott Borden Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 A tough looking bruiser, that's for sure! The blue is particularly striking; does it represent a "standard" Peterbilt color? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Scott, I don't think it is a 'standard' color - but the colo Schlumberger uses.

cam Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It looks like you have a beast of your own Tim, I like white and blue together . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckman1981 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Is that a Marmon Herrington All Whell Drive setup? I install Marmon Herrington all wheel drives on the Volvo VHD series trucks.They took the place of the AutoCar. We did a few new Petes for one of our other customers that were to have Crane bodies installed. The best part about the install is the test drive. It is great to be rollin down the interstate and look down into passing trucks!!! Like always nice build Tim!!

mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Depending on the truck I'm using for information - either a FABCO or MH.

RyanSilva Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Excellent! When I looked at your pictures a few years ago, I always liked that truck myself. How do I contact Klaus to see what he sells? I got a autocar dc 6x6 I'm building that would look great with them tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 They used to use orange and black back when they called themselves "Dowell Schlumberger." The color change was about 10 years ago. The blue on the chassis is slightly brighter than the blue that BJServices uses. Tim Looking nice, Tim. I thought Schlumberger used orange?

Sergey Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Nice going, Tim. I like your 357-th. Tell me please - how have you mounted fuel tanks and straps to fuel tanks brackets? I just want to do the same with my Custombilt, but I can't figure out jet - how to make it reliable mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan H Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Very impressive Tim. What size plastic strip did you use on such a long frame? Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Tim, Great work so far. I agree with the others, the blue frame with the white cab look very striking. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 The tank straps are chrome vinyl that do not attach to the mounts. Tim Nice going, Tim. I like your 357-th.
