1966 Peterbilt 281

[leafsprings]

The 1966 2 axle narrow nose Peterbilt 281 conventional is ready to hit the road.   Has been very rewarding to build a unit exactly the way I wanted it,  thanks again to the recent re issues and aftermarket goodies available.

I like everything about this model, from the subject to the color!  From the wheels and tires to the green clearance lights. Very clean work! You really captured the vintage look! Excellent work!

Thanks for all the positive comments. Special thanks to the Peterbilt guru, Tim Ahlborn, for inspiring me to build  these '66 Pete's.  Last minute add on's,   stainless sun visors.

Beautiful model! Modifications and paint scheme make it look really different.

Excellent job on your pair of Petes. Your modifications are spot on.

A model that focuses on the basics of a truck. And a role model that embodies exactly that. One of my favorites here!
