but what are the rates like? 1/14th of the price i would assume, but how do you measure the mileage?

pedometer.....miles

this is the colour i am going with its light blue pearl (periwinkle)with baby blue and black stripes,still have to do the pinstriping on the stripes.not sure which colour to do that ..any suggestions?i'm thinking do opposite.pinstipe baby blue on the black and black on the baby blue.these colours are very suttle and reflect the era at that time

i also weathered the frame on this truck...far too many canadian winters with the road salt

yes i hear the both of you and i am getting on it right now

1985 kenworth · #20 11-19-2012, 01:03 AM

got rid of the stripes...(supermario,goose) so now i am not the stripe stealer anymore..lol..as i messed up with the pinstriping. the colours ran into the stripes so i went with these decals that i think go with the name of the truck,and used the stacks from the knighthauler for the curved look
