Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
The sign board said it was built/owned by a truck paint & body business. They really did do a tits-up job on that. It's true to scale (1/2 I think) in every way. Imagine all the work! That one next to it was brand new. Maybe built for a mixer or dump body? I'm not sure I got other pictures. We got there Friday eve and maybe 2/3 of the trucks were there. They really filled in on Saturday. I saw registration numbers in the 620s. I get up a lot earlier than my buddy,so I walked to the diner for coffee,then walked around and got some quick pics. I got others once the show filled in but not nearly as many as I should have. Tell the truth I lost track of what I did and didn't get. One thing about shows is the trucks are packed against each other and you can't get the whole thing in a picture.
I caught this handsome combo rolling in:

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
A nicely done period correct ( 5 hole Alcoa's +Mercury sleeper ) 351 Pete seen at a truck show. Cabs look basically the same('72 and older), but the look is all in the front end.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
I thought that truck looked familure, oops wrong spelling. Same truck on post 65, but with the correct bumper, don't think the big bumper was an up grade.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Everything has a time and a place, I liked his striped bumper much better, I like the one you posted much better. Cdot doesn't run nice trucks like that.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
I am way weak for old trucks. If I die without owning an old Peterbilt I will consider my life an utter failure. This truck is my favorite out of many, many old truck pics I have collected.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
I don't know where to give credit for that picture. I'm a lurker over at Largecar and have collected a lot of pics from there.
Don't even get me started on cab overs either. We'd be here all night while I blabber on. This little truck is as virgin as they come and has a nice surprise hiding underneath the cab. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Sorry for the lack of continuity in my posts. My iPad and this board aren't getting along too well right now.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
I use my shop name (Ayers Garage) over there and at most other boards. You'd never know it though, I've lurked a lot at LCM for a year or two but never posted. I just check the new posts a couple of times per day.
I grew up in the cab of a Transtar II then a Pete 362 running all over with my dad. But, other than driving a real nice fire truck every third day I don't have anything constructive to add to any truck discussions. Posted via Mobile Device |
