Old Buckaroo Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 My goal was to finish this before June 1. Many of you sharp eyed guys will notice a few things not on the Truck - Mirror cross brace, rear mudflaps, stack grab handles. (mirrors are on temporary with white glue as well as the pogo stick) Sadly this will be packed away starting tomorrow 6/1 for a move to Montana. This is the first Peterbilt I have ever built, I am sure I logged in close to 100 hrs at Tims Trucks The pics The build can be seen here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87574 I gave this truck poseable front wheels - another first. Thanks for looking, hope you like it as much as I did enjoy assembling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thank you everyone for the comments and well wishes for the move. I also painted the air deflector for this kit black. I did not mount it for obvious reasons. I really want to find some logos for this truck and some plates for it. Also I normally build a "first kit" clean to learn the quirks then the next of the same will show a rougher life. What do you think - should this truck be pulling a Tanker ?

Jim B Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Looks great, Sean. Either a tanker or a flatbed would look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The tanker would be cool or the fruehauf flatbed with a load of rolled steel, make it look like a clean local steel delivery truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I see it with a matching flatbed, or a matching post van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 As I said in your "Workbench" post.....This is a great build.....I really like your doing the poseable steering....Makes a big difference....I, too, like the tanker idea.....Should look pretty awesome...

Q tip Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 nice ride, i too like the colors, as far as a trailer......how about taking the 40 foot van, cut the box down and make a grain hopper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bige37 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Old buckaroo that is a beautiful truck I agree that the flat bed with the rolled steel will look good I built that same flat bed trailer I have pics in the under the glass and on the work bench of the trailer! I was wondering how you built the pogo stick I want to add one to my peterbuilt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
