Nope Ben I just did not have the time so a buddy of mine that owns a body shop finished the cab I did the frame and gave him the paint for the rest and Mike did a killer job..

Thanks much... They are from PMD they are the pete dual round headlights taken apart.

[Lmackattack]

Thanks for the info...I'm building up a Pete 352 and those look like they would fit the build..


We need to see a night shot!

[plow jockey]

Another awesome build. Love the red. Great job!

[petermoblin]

That truck is killer, any pics with the lights on? Would that show happen to be the wheel jam show?

Wow Paul......that baby is so nice

[Lmackattack]

Looks killer with all those lights...Very nicely done...

Have you thought about changing out the super white led headlights to a yellow glow led...it might make it look more "old school" or are you sticking with a more modern look....?

[Espeefan]

That's awesome! More photos, please! Outdoors? This is one of my favorite trucks of yours, Paul. Couldn't have turned out any nicer!

Thanks much Nate.. LOL yeah that was the plan to get a bunch of picks of a bunch of my trucks out side this weekend but with a total of over 8 inches of rain this weekend and no sun ever that idea will have to wait till the show next weekend.

I'm mostly a Peterbilt guy, but always loved a nice A model. Truck looks like it could be straight from the 70s or 2013. I love that.
