It looks sweet as a day cab, without the dump box, but I know it's not going to stay that way for long! What a beautiful truck.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

Looks just like the 1:1, keep the updates a rolling in.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

WOW. Looks outstanding the way it sits right now Brian. One of the top builds around lately. As always waiting for more updates!!!

WOW!!! What can I say? Other than looking at the chassis you would never know that truck started life as a King Hauler. Would love to see you build a heavy haul tractor next.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

Wow:eek:I love the stance,the color,the detail,the lights,and every part of it.
In my opinion you have allready won the build of the month without it even
being nominated!:D

Will we get a video soon? And do you have plans to haul dirt in this or is it more for show?

I'll get a vid up as soon as the body is on the chassis. I have everything working except for the tailgate latch. It is fighting me:mad::mad:! I have to revamp the leverage to make it work right. I'll use it but I wont get it too dirty! LOL!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

Looks like the premise for a new movie, honey I shrunk the Peterbilt. Either that or someone's parked a Peterbilt on some giant's kitchen counter!
I bet this baby will only be hauling clean dirt when it's finished!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

Small update here. I build a tool box for the passenger side. The box was 2 foot square. When I scaled it down it was a perfect place for the MFU vibration unit! I also stared the finishing details on the dump body! YAH! I can see the end in sight. Thanks for looking!
