Wade! Long time no see. How've you been? Great photos. I really like the blue Pete (359?) with the old school white stripes. The more I see truck sporting paint jobs like that, the more I like them.

Luv those 359's. Corvette dash and all. What engine? I had a bug to get a 64' 281 and make it into a flat bed to haul my old Cats around but just too many irons in the forge. I should go and see if that truck is still tucked away in the weeds.

The truck when I drove it was all blue and was only 252" wb the truck had a B model cat 425 with 5 x 4 tranny. Today the truck is riding on 303"wb and has a C model cat 425 with the same tranny. My 359 had a B model 400 Cat in it.

The seminole paint scheme is a Kenworth factory design that Pete guys started using and I think is one of the nicest paint designs for a Pete. My Wedico Pete is going to have the seminole paint design.

Brings back memoeries of my cousin.
When I was in school I was a fan of KW's just for looks. My cousin liked the Pete's.
Now he owns and drives KW's and I am still dreaming. Actaully he started out with Petes But when it came time to buy his first new rig All he could get delivered on his time frame was the KW.
