Peterbilt 388 Lightning Express

Recommended Posts

Several years ago I built this Peterbilt 388. Started with an Italeri 378 kit, mild frame stretch and a KFS Cummins signature engine; (too bad that engine is no longer available from KFS…). The 63" Standup Sleeper I robbed from an Italeri 377 kit, and cut in a rear window and a Unibilt transition as well.

The 388 conversion kit I got from P&P Vintage, a supplier some have mixed feelings about but I can't complain about them. The conversion kit included not only a hood and grille, cab side panels with the newer style door latches and windows, but also a DPF and correct battery box. A newer style dashboard I got from them as well.

The DPF meant that I had to bend and twist my own exhaust plumbing, took a few attempts to get them right. The exhaust tips I made myself too. The grille mesh (with Ovals) I got from Plano Products.
