What a beatiful rig! Thanks for posting this. The 361 is definitley one of my favorites. Too bad this ones got a green motor, and not a beige or yellow one . Otherwise, a perfect tractor. Id throw a flatbed on it and use as a grocery getter!

With the cab & chassis in paint, I need to finish construction on the winch and the interior. I tackled the winch first. Im working off some photos of a few restored Rigger trucks. Ive been working on the levers and linkages and shafts that control the winch. Heres what I have so far.

Heres a piece of the PE chain

Yes sir, that will do. The extra tank is cool, and its also a frame step. I might use that. It needs a lowboy behind it with a couple more Huskies in tow. Thanks for posting.

The extra tank is a wet tank, the truck spent it's career pulling dump trailers and flat beds.

I figured as much. I like that set up better than the behind the cab tank. Thats how we did on our trucks.

Ha! Thats awesome. Great idea. It looks perfect. A friend of mine had a Pete 357 with that same tank.

I got some more color on the cab and Im ready to start pin striping. I finished the linkage on the winch and just have to finish the chain. Its close to the end, I have 16 days to finish this.

Lookin good, that red frame with the black and white body looks really good.

The colors look great and the winch detailing is perfect! This is one tough looking Huskie!

Man,this is one sweet setup.....I don't know why I haven't seen this one....Awesome.....Some many details.....This is just Great work.....

[Superpeterbilt]

Thanks guys. I got some striping on the Huskie tonight. I added my door decals as well. The white tires are fresh cast resin. The ones in previous pics had flaws, and these are the re-moulds.

[kilrathy10]

Those white tires make it look so cartoonish.... I know that's not what you have planned, but it looks kinda funky.....

Anyway....The striping work looks great.....Oh, and I forgot....That trailer is SMOKIN'.....Excellent work....

Ace hardware safety red. It the one Im stuck on. Its the perfect shade of red to me. The bottom half of my shop is this color. I tried using a different red on the Pete 352 wrecker, but you saw how that went. I have an Autocar painted the same shade of red as your Pete 359. Its the only one thats different.
