Awesome !!

Still plugging away, and running out of parts. Here is a mock up. I added a clear orange wash to the amber pieces to darken them up a bit. I am NOT looking forward to the mirrors.....

Great looking combo !!

All I can say is WOW !!! All it needs is a big green O on the doors !!

Great looking setup !

Stunning !!

Love it !! I came from the land of logging (Toledo,OR) and have been collecting a few log trailers to build up.

I have one of these setups to do also. My father-in-law drove for them. So I will be watching this build for sure.

Nice old trucks !!

I will get some pics for you sometime this week.

Thanks !! James, I airbrushed the carpet and dash brown, the rest of the interior tan, and hand painted the instrument panel, and silver highlights.

Yea, lots of yellow. I'm an Oregon Ducks fan and after they trounced the Cowboys I told the owner we were going to paint it GREEN and yellow. JT, you have no idea...this thing was ROUGH. Robert, thats what I was saying.

Ok, a couple more updates. Other than the headlight lens and painting the latches, the hood assembly is finished. Interior is finished up. Just some basic detail painting.

Ok, here are the rest of the parts painted last night...

Ok, the guy who we are painting the stretched Pete for also has this sitting in front of his shop. It does run and drive and other than the front bumper seems to be original. It still has its aluminum frame and belt drive rear ends.

Questions... did you use the front or rear position for the drive axle, and is all the frame extension behind the drive axle ? Thanks

I have been tempted to buy one for myself. I do not know what its like in other states, but in WY you do not need a CDL if its for private use and less than 100 mile radius from home.

The same guy who has this truck also has an old cabover I really like. I will get a pic of it over the weekend. Its still an aluminum frame and belt drive.

If it hauls anything, it will be a cattle pod. So I plan on building one of those as well. lol I am wondering if the older rigs will live longer in WY, the state does not care about all the emissions.

OH YEA !!!

We have been plugging away on the old Pete. I tell you what, ironing out this old work horse has been a challenge. Hood and doors are ready for paint. cab has been worked on, and on, and on, and, oh you get the picture....should be in primer by Tuesday. Fenders are all done.... Rear bumper and all the frame covers were getting cleared when I left. Pics tomorrow, I hope. All that leaves for the yellow are a few brackets and hucks. I LOVE huck rivets !!!

That is sweet !!!

I want one of those tandem trailers. My father in law drives a 2014 Kenworth T800 with that box and trailer. I have the T800 conversion and the T600 kit, as well as the drive axle, and the main box. Now all i need is the trailer.....and the cummins.

The Monocote is not very expensive. You cut it to size, press it down on the sub-structure, and then lightly hit it with the heat. Shrinks, and tightens up real sweet..

I am glad that I can contribute. I sure have received a LOT from this place.
