Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
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.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Factorystock, you mentioned the red 281 in post 135 having center point steering, this is something I know nothing about. Can you ketch me up to speed on this. I went back and looked at the red truck and don't see anything different between it and my blue and white as far as the front axle.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Interesting pictures. I like the Single Axle Box truck.
That would make a pretty cool Roll Back. Bill

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
That was a great looking truck as it was. I'm sure you'll have it lookin' sharp once you get on it.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
I do like the look of the dual headlight kw look it is a real nice constructed hood and heavy.
I hope to have it looking nice have to finish my c10 first. I can build the pete a lot faster then the c10. The engine/trans/aux trans/rear end/suspension/brakes are all in top condition all I have to do is clean and paint frame. Then I have to work on inteior and plumbing. I ripped out all the cloth lines and am going to replace with nylon dot line. I wish the c10 would go faster dont want to cut corners but it can go faster but im only one person. I want to start on the pete and have it back in running condition.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
By what I see in your signature,you get things done. I never get a truck done too fast. I get anxious,like anyone else,but I know it's just the way it is.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Well,that's part of it,but looking back after things are done it don't mean squat. We need to ring up Mr.Peanutbutter somehow. I'm sure he'd enjoy seeing this.

Re: Bringing home 69 Pete
Sorry guys, I've been preoccupied for awhile. Thanks KQQl IT for this photo, best one I've seen, I almost thought it was my truck for a minute. Can you put a year model on it? Can't tell if its tilt hood or butterfly, I think its a 281. I'm thinking about repainting mine back to original colors but I don't think people around here would understand. It would be nice to paint it back the way it should be and take it to the Brooks show. Once again thanks KQQl IT for finding this pic, really made my day.
