I don't think that orange truck hauls anything now. It's restored to perfect. You could eat off the frame. I wish I had pictures from behind.
Here's one from the show that might suit your needs better than that purdy thang: |
Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Yep, that looks like a real solid truck, I think thats only about the third pete I've ever seen with off road fenders, third vintage narrow nose that is. Fairly rare to see one with daytons also, thats a cool truck. Hey keep the pics coming, looks like a great day at the truck show.

There was a lot of Macks at the show (factory hometown) and a little Peterbilt :cool: |
Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Someone did a good job on the little pete, if the big one was'nt sitting next to it you would never suspect. Did you get a pic of the big one, that thing has a set back front axle.

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.

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.

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.

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. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Koolit over at LCM Posted via Mobile Device |
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 |

I'm thinking about building my own joe dog but I have very little info. These are the only photos I have, this one is made by a company by the name of Eight Point. Does anyone have any info or pics of other joe dogs.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Thanks guys, I knew you two could scratch up something on these. Not something you see around here, I've heard of jifflox but never seen one except for a couple of youtube vids. I need to learn the pros and cons of each one, and which one requires the least amount of modifications to the tractor. I like the single axle tractors but some days the DOTs are out in force.

I wanted to let you guys know about this book if you don't already, if you like vintage pete's this is a great book and worth the money. You can normaly find it on ebay.
