My 2nd truck Pete 379 daycab
This was my second attempt to do a 379. This time I wanted a day cab for I had a dump trailer being custom built by Ralph. I did a lot more detailing on this truck to try and make it more authentic looking. This time I did some cab mods, extending the cowl and changing the angle of the windshield. I also raised the roof for added detail.
This truck is also riding on a longer frame than stock, I just couldn't help myself
The axle was also repositioned forward as far as it would go until the tires
would almost touch when turned.
I scratch built the sides of the hood and made some fenders from ABS plastic pipe.
After trying to come up a real Pete looking Battery box/step I had a run of my own made.
and now some paint! My fleet color, Chrome Yellow of coarse!
This here is is my favorite part of this truck, the grille!!
