Old Buckaroo Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 My goal was to finish this before June 1. Many of you sharp eyed guys will notice a few things not on the Truck - Mirror cross brace, rear mudflaps, stack grab handles. (mirrors are on temporary with white glue as well as the pogo stick) Sadly this will be packed away starting tomorrow 6/1 for a move to Montana. This is the first Peterbilt I have ever built, I am sure I logged in close to 100 hrs at Tims Trucks The pics The build can be seen here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87574 I gave this truck poseable front wheels - another first. Thanks for looking, hope you like it as much as I did enjoy assembling it.
slusher Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Super sharp clean build. Love the color choices and it being a day cab. Some real nice work Sean...
tbill Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 great work Sean, looks killer. best of luck with the move, that is never easy.
Old Buckaroo Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Thank you everyone for the comments and well wishes for the move. I also painted the air deflector for this kit black. I did not mount it for obvious reasons. I really want to find some logos for this truck and some plates for it. Also I normally build a "first kit" clean to learn the quirks then the next of the same will show a rougher life. What do you think - should this truck be pulling a Tanker ?

Jim B Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Looks great, Sean. Either a tanker or a flatbed would look nice.
Petetrucker07 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 The tanker would be cool or the fruehauf flatbed with a load of rolled steel, make it look like a clean local steel delivery truck
Superpeterbilt Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I see it with a matching flatbed, or a matching post van.
kilrathy10 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 As I said in your "Workbench" post.....This is a great build.....I really like your doing the poseable steering....Makes a big difference....I, too, like the tanker idea.....Should look pretty awesome...
k100 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Looks great , I can see it with a chrome tanker . Good luck on the move.
tbill Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I see that pulling a lowboy or a log trailer [not the peerless trailer, but a full length log trailer]
Q tip Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 nice ride, i too like the colors, as far as a trailer......how about taking the 40 foot van, cut the box down and make a grain hopper?
Bige37 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Old buckaroo that is a beautiful truck I agree that the flat bed with the rolled steel will look good I built that same flat bed trailer I have pics in the under the glass and on the work bench of the trailer! I was wondering how you built the pogo stick I want to add one to my peterbuilt?
cappy625 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 very nice pete! flatbed with a side kit painted to match the tractor.
