My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?
 
Just started a needle nose truck, kind of 50's era meets modern large car custom. But not sure if it's a Pete or KW or something else, what do you guys think? I put KW steps on it but was going after a Pete design. Oh we'll, here it is.

Thanks Wayne, lol. I actually had the cab lying around for a bit now, painted it yesterday and the frame I built about two weeks ago, was just waiting to get some of my other projects out of the way.

I love it, def has a Kenny vibe

Re: My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?
 
I like it too, especially the color pops right out.just my opinion but could be my eyesight but i think the headlights might be abit to high for that 50's era pete. Its just my opinion.only i am not putting it down..looks great with the single round headlights

I want your flatbed... just sayin..

I think it looks great with the flatbed too!! I like how you have the top of the cab smooth with no defining separation between the cab and bunk. I say make the shocks black and leave the rails shiney!! I see a tri axle on the floor ;)

Re: My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?
 
I keep coming back to look at this truck! I'm hooked. Lol. I just bought that same trailer in a triaxle. How do u like it?

hood 02-08-2014 11:41 AM

Re: My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?
 
Love it with the flatbed as well!

1985 kenworth 02-08-2014 11:55 AM

Re: My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?
 
wow it looks good with the flatbed and hey don't mess up the paint man just leave the lights .i was just voicing an opinion if you like it then thats the only opinion that should matter to you ...i like the small integrated bunk from this angle
