1950’s Peterbilt cabover

Recommended Posts

Finished this build a few weeks ago. Cab is from AITM, chassis and big stick wrecker are from the AMT kit. The rear wheels, hubs, and tires are 3D printed along with the train horns and spare tires. I need to find the door handles though, can’t seem to find them anywhere. I added the single exhaust and air intake from the International  cabover kit for something different.

Sweeet! I always loved the looks of those bullet-nose ( bubble-nose?) Petes. You never see them around anymore, probably for good reason :).

I drove an H model Mack for a year or so; sort of like that, but not a Pete. Petes were much nicer.

Good build. The train horns are a nice touch -- they help keep the lane clear next to you.

Thank you. The train horns do make an impression when the unexpecting hear them!
