Default Tilt nose Pete 379

Just finished this Pete 379 for my buddy who paints most of my trucks, he wanted a nice looking daily runner that a working man would be proud of. He wanted the tilt nose with an exposed engine and lights but not to many, that was the hardest part for me, lol. I wanted to add more lights. Steve's rims and front bumper, rods visor, PMD breathers, Brian's grille. Paint and fenders are by Bob.

OMG, that is gorgeous! Great job! Where is the electric motor? Is there an MFU in the cab?

I used a R2 Trans with a 27 turn motor and yes it has a full MFU in it as well along with a Pico switch to control the smoke and a battle switch to control the aux lights.

Thanks RCtrucker2

Another beauty from the Keith camp !
Very nice work. Air bags all around I see !
Is that tail light plate from PMD? Looks good with the tapered rails.

Wow, I like this one! I think it's my favorite that you have built. Maybe this one and the Triple 3. The only thing I would change is the air cleaners, or just the intake screens.

The smoke coming out the stacks is cool.
Have you got any pics of the hing and how you mounted it ?

Amazing looking truck. I love everything about it. I do have a question, what smoke generator did you use, and do you have pic's of it hooked up? I'm wanting to add one to one of mine.

Thanx, Big John

Thanks. Yeah the guy I built it for is going to detail under the hood so maybe he'll get the smoke under control.

Thanks, yeah I suggested he go with another set of breathers to clean it up but he had them already.

Thanks Big John. It's a set of Seuthe no. 5 smoke units that I wired through a Pico switch. As you can imagine I was running out of room inside the truck so I installed one in each stack, it allows access to fill them with the smoke fluid easier as well.


I filled them down to fit snugly in the stack.
