Porky

That is a great looking Freightshaker !!! I really like the paint, what did you use on it ???

Hey Mark Man I can't belive someone sold you that thing, people that cast and sell parts like that give us resin slingers a bad name. Not all of us casters sell junk like that or take forever to ship out orders. We always try to get orders out within a week but for the most part we only do semi truck parts, maybe we need to get back into the car parts again.

Hey Gordon That is a sweet looking project you have there.

Hey Todd Shoot me an e-mail at eric@ppvintagekits.com with your questions. I will try to help you out any way I can.

Hey Frank K-Dog at Bandit Resins dose a nice 34' Ford Panel, not sure if it is what you are looking for or not but this is a link to it if you want to check it out. http://www.banditresins.com/34_ford_panel.html

Thanks, Ray I updated the post with some better pics of the parts set.

Thanks, I updated the post with some new pics.

updated post with new pics

And believe me, when I order the red chicken lights (plus the amber ones!), you better make sure you have a lot of resin on hand, you'll need it! My trucks like to cluck!

Hey Matt You can make it work but you would need to add external breathers and relocate the front axle, the 377 has internal breathers and a set back front axle, the 389 is a forward axle design,,the 378 kits would make it a bit of an easier project but I would think you could do it on the 377, I do have the external vortox breathers. Hey and now I have those red chicken lights so you can light up your tail :lol:

Another custom part from Porky, Hide that dirty old fifth wheel of your with this cool new quilted fifth wheel cover.

You know Porky likes the custom parts so here is a new item, Peterbilt 7 Bar Grill to dress up your 359's

These are the new updated Pete boxes 2006 and up Tall Battery box 2006 to 2010 DPF Box 2011 DPF Box

This is a new Interior update parts set that we are now offering, Updates the interior to the 2006 and up style. Includes dash, steering wheel and column, platinum series door panels, the door panels work with our ultra cab or the updates cab side panels. Parts can be bought separate, only the dash set or just the door panels, you can get it anyway you want it at Porky's Questions just let me know

Hey Guys Just got this hood conversion finished up, This is the longest factory offered hood from Pete to date with a 133 inch BBC. Also we now have some update parts for the Italeri Pete kits. Interior update parts set with dash, steering wheel, column and platinum series interior door panels. Also now have the updated 2006 and up tall battery box, 2006 to 2010 DPF box and the 2011 DPF box so now you can build your 2011 model 389's. I will make a post for those parts too so check them out. Any questions just let me know.

Hey Gordon I don't know of anyone casting the entire 63 inch flat top sleeper in 1/24 scale, I cast the flat top panel for it to convert the kit sleeper to a flat top, never really thought about casting the complete sleeper when it is so easy to convert the kit sleeper with our top panel. I guess it is something we could do if there was enough interest in it. We will have a complete sleeper in the 36 & 48 inch before too long. Ben Wicker is working on the master parts for those now, maybe I will try to get him to do a 63 inch next. Have you done anything with the 389 hood conversion you picked up from us on e-bay a few weeks ago ??? I was not happy with it the way it was, the mold messed up causing all the mess under the hood so I reworked one and recast it with a separate grill shell, opened the grill up between the bars so you can lay a grill screen in it from the back side, a much better parts set now. If you have not already used the hood let me know and I will send you one of the reworked hood and grill on me. Also we now have an interior update kit for the late model Italeri Pete's, dash, steering wheel and platinum series interior door panels

Hey Tim Thanks for posting the info, your the man !!!

Hey Josh I have never built one of the 379 Ext. conversions so I am not sure how much help I will be but I will call Bill Drennen asap and see what kind of input he has on the problem as he is the one who designed the conversion and wrote the instruction sheet. I will PM you my phone number and you can give me a call if you want.

This is our first time there and looking forward to it. Be great to put some faces with the names here so come say hey at the P&P Resin Works banner and remember Get It At Porky's.

Hey JJ Thanks for the good words on the casting. I pulled a few more of the 53's today getting ready for the NNL East in Jersey next weekend and I saw that the roof is getting a bit thin on the thing, I guess that is what you are talking about. Guess I will have to make a new mold for it before too long. Maybe do one with the chopped top you are wanting at some point as well.

Hey Dave I am with you now, maker lights for the roof cast in amber,,,hummm. That might work. I was thinking the side maker lights like listed above, sorry.

Hey Dave Look at the lights real close, they do have the housings around the lights, so you can paint them silver or ??? foiling one would be a pain I would say.
