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:

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
 

This should be the same truck.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
 

Here's a Pete with a Detroit:

Bingo! Much better photo:metal:Thankyou! A period correct (time machine) truck always does it for me. I know its very difficult and more expensive to find correct pieces, but the result is priceless. Isn't true the CAT powered pre '72 conventionals had extended hoods, both in butterfly and tilt?

This is a test, only a test to see if you're still awake.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
 

Found a couple of possible prospects today, like I said, I just don't need any more trucks, never stopped me before.

That's not noise, that's charactor permeating your surroundings!! LOL

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
 

Hey, thats a nice one, excluding the snow plow on the front.

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
 

What do you have against Peterbilts with snow plows? :cool:

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.

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.

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.

You mean like when it's snowing? I like the old stripes,arrows,and diamonds better,too. I can appreciate 'em all...customized,doodadded-up,and as they were in the day. I'm likin' as they were the most these days.

At the '11 Carlisle Truck show this was my favorite:
