Kenworth K123, "Old Blue" Carnie rig..

[k357]

Yeah I know its white with red & blue stripes, but the original, a 68 K123 was blue with silver stripes, & was the truck most in my 5 yrs with the show, first two pics are Old Blue with the original paint from 2005 & the trophy she won in an online contest, pretty much out of box except for the scratchbuilt CAT generator cover behind the cab in both builds... A friend of mine made the door placards on the blue rig & I made the decals for the white w/red & blue striped Old Blue, paint is Walmart store brand white with automotive pinstripe tape for the stripes ...

Cool build!

Unique build from a unique operation. I like the generator. Looks they they had to put the fifth wheel all the way back to accommodate. I suppose the fleet owners didn’t want to have to stretch the frame. I guess as long as the axles scaled out ok, it was fine. Probably didn’t want a longer tractor anyway, making it harder to maneuver it some tight locations, right?

Great idea and they are both awesome. I like the cat yellow contrast with the white. Great job .
