Since my old Photobucket account is long gone here are a few pics of my Peterbilts. Hillbilly Deluxe is a Wedico based truck with Scale Art axles (8X8) and a Veroma Transmission. These pics are old, will have to get some newer ones, maybe when the weather gets better.

Thanks guys! Working on my bumper height. Steve made my bumper and mount years ago, that guy could make any part from rough estimates!

I have been working on my truck recently. I added True Scale’s front suspension kit, front bumper and metal floorboard. It made my ride height much more prototypical. I also added some chassis steps from LESU.

Hi Claus, I really like your model trucks, in the last photo your truck has steps behind the cab also on the mudguards you have got Peterbilt nameplates did you make these parts or can you buy these ?


Thanks Carl.

Thanks Carl.

Thank you for the compliments. Both the 1/4 fenders and the frame steps are LESU brand, you can find them on eBay. I have some deck plates coming in.

Nice trucks, buddy! Pretty soon you’ll have to figure out what kind of load you will strap down to that drop deck of yours!
