I love that cab!! Looks really nice, my trouble would be deciding what hood configuration to build?? It would look great with so many of them!!

Tim I'm new to this,so here I go how do you know the diffence between the cabs? like 377? 378? ect. I see these all the time how can you tell the diffence?

Mike,

The cabs are all the same model wise - it is the hood that makes the model 378, 379, 377, 389, 386 etc.

With that said - there are specific differences in the kit cabs due to molded on parts. Italeri molded the fender sections to the cab on the 377 and molded the air cleaner mounts to the cab on the 378 cab. The 378 cab will fit the 377 kit, but the 377 cab will need the fender section removed.

A resin 379 uses a 378 kit cab as does the resin 367, 388, and 389. The 365 SBFA and 367 SBFA hoods can use the 377 kit as the donor with modifications (remove the molded on fender section).

The newer Peterbilts (386, 384, 388, 389, 365, 367 all need the cab modified for the newer door handles and windows and new mirror arms fabricated).

The extended ultra daycab is a current production option but will be available as a retrofit for older trucks. This resin cab is more for the newer trucks (2006 and newer) as it has the slanted window ledge).

I could write a book about all of this...

Hey Tim

Now I think that is a great idea,,,when you could squeeze in writing a book with all you keep going on would be tough but I do think it is a good idea,,,who knows more about the Peterbilt trucks than you ??? I would think no one.

Eric,

I'm sure there is someone in Denton who knows more..

I got my cabs and parts from Eric today. W ow!~ This stuff is nice and smooth.

I immediately set out to carving on one of the cabs to change it to an underhood aircleaner version

with the new 1 piece windshield.

Here's the rough changes I've made this evening.

It might become a 384 or 386.

Hey Tim

Glad you like the parts and it looks like you are off to a good start on the one piece windshield cab !!!

Eric,

I have to agree & disagree with you my friend.

I would love to read a Peterbilt book written by Tim, but at the other hand writing a book may take him off building Peterbilts.... Lol

Kostas.

[Porky]

Hey Kostas

Yep, I thought about that after I posted what I did,,,cut down on his build time for the Pete's and all the nice master parts,,,so I guess the book deal is out,,,

[Jim B]

True, writing the book would keep him busy for a while; but once the book royalties start coming in he'll have extra "disposable income" to spend on resin!

[jekylljr]

lovin the 367 hood looks great

[Truck parts]

Tim, Could build the peter models,and have someone else write his book for him. I would buy one.
