Old Albion Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Little window 359 Pete's are one of my all time favourites. I am busy collecting materials for my version of the Red Heavy Hauler (Sams Towing Service )in Tim's photo' above. Providing everything goes according to plan this will be my next project. The base kit will be the AMT Pete California Hauler 359 T500 500, interestingly this kit is molded in grey with green tinted glass. Must be an early one! Good Luck with your build and keep us posted with progress.
455 Rocket Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Tim, I'm guessing your photo of the T & T truck is from when you lived out here in California. You'll be happy to know, they still have the same paint scheme, but with more polished aluminum and some updated lettering.
mackinac359 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Craig The T&T truck photo was taken by Brad Wike who owned the truck (several of them several years ago). Lived in California? I've never lived there.. only visited once in '75. (I'm a cheesehead mostly) Tim
Twist67 Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Hi there, cool reference pictures.My favourite Pete is the blue/white truck
Old Albion Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 That blue and white Pete combined with a set of bottom dump doubles would make a great project :idea:
