Ben

I'm not really sure what the final product will be, I've looked for pics on the internet for some ideas, but with no luck

I'm really not sure?

I wouldnt mind doing something else Trav ,but I have all of these Pete parts.

Looks longer than your other truck. Are you going add another axle and make it legal to run in Ohio?

Ya Steve I'll have to get one for next year I can pay in food. I'm gonna keep it a tri axle.

This will give you something to look forward to. Its gonna be a little different design body, something that is a little more modern looking in these parts.

small update. I've been working on the dump body. I got the framework underneath done and I got the bulkhead figured out. Thanks for looking!

[BRICKNICK]

Brian your cabs are the best looking Petes when you modify the roof and windshield. You should sell some of your Pete cabs.

[glorydays24]

Looking really good Brian. May I make a suggestion on the paint? You should go with clear with clear poka-dots ...Thing's that make you go mmmlol.

Big John

[Bsorenson79]

I have a dumb question! Are you using aluminum or stainless steel for your body?

[Brian in PA]

Bill I'm using Aluminum. Stainless would be cool, tough to bend!

[kaptain Jack]

More pictures of the built process please. Great job.

[crawler07]

It looks super cool Brian! How are you attaching the seperate pieced of aluminum together?

[Espeefan]

Another beauty in the making, Brian. Will this one be yellow?

[sgt hopkins]

Love it! Awesome build.... and um.... selling your cabs is a great idea, I would be onboard for one...

[Dairyland Trucker]
