379 logos for peterbuilts

[Supermario]

Has anyone ever produced a 379 hood badge for the 1/14th scale trucks? I work for a CAT dealer and there was a beautiful 379 Pete in the truck shop today. The guys in the shop have seen my rig and asked if I had a 379 logo for it? That's what got me wondering ??
Anyone out there up for it?

Mario

If the truck is there tommorow I will take a pic and show what I mean.

did you look through PMD's site ? Ric is the only 1 I know of but then I never looked around as I only have 1 prettybuilt being built

[Claus]

I don't know about that but Unibilt emblems would be nice.

[bigford]

ricks are nice but a little large

here you go

[Claus]

Now I'm confused, I thought everybody knew about the Peterbilt emblems and Mario was looking for 379 emblems, am I missing something?

[Supermario]

No, not missing anything. I'm talking bout 379 logo, not the peterbuilt logos on PMD. I rechecked the site, no 379 logos.

[YoungGunz]

You could always try and make a decal of it. Wouldn't quite be the same as a badge but would still look pretty neat. I might have to play around with that idea

[Brian in PA]

If I'm not mistaken the only 379 logo is the 379X logo. I've never seen just a 379?

[ihbuilder]

I thought you ment the oval only 1:1 379 logo I can find is on 4 state

I got a pic of the 379 badge today. Will post a pic once I get home tonight.

[bigford]

My 379 only has the 3 hood badges and the dealer badge on the kick panel

[Supermario]

heres the badge I'm talkin bout. Its a shame that reduced to 1/14 scale you would need a electron microscope to read it!:eek:
I'm really liking the 379 as a 3 dimensional badge instead of a sticker.
the truck in the pic has this badge on the hood under the air cleaners and on the back corner of the sleeper. the pic is obviously the sleeper, the hood was up. the truck is in for a scheduled bearing roll by the way, not a premature failure of anything......:rolleyes: lol

IT'S possible ;) but the words " model" and "legacy class edition" will not come out to well . although , I could do a negative of the raised lettering :scratch chin: I gotta figure how to get my speed up over 10,000 rpm :eek:

something in my head is screeming @ me :rolleyes:

[Supermario]

Call me crazy but I think these would sell like hotcakes!
Steve, if you think it's possible, it can happen.
I have seen many variations of the logo on various Pete 379's . Anyone got more versions to post?
It must be the use of the word " Legacy class " that has me loving this badge? :D

Mario

[Supermario]

I don't know about that but Unibilt emblems would be nice.

Yes, I agree. It could be a oval plate engraved or etched with the name unibuilt ?

[bigford]

there's 1 lil glitch to a production scale of producing these :( (Paccar) If that emblem is licensed under their name , no . 1 or 2 like I did for Ben's oshkosh, I'll do , to help some get that special look someone wants . licensing can get expensive :( :eek:

I gotta see how everything looks in a year or 2 .

warning : this guy loves a challenge :rolleyes:

[Supermario]

The legacy class was the last year for the 379.

So it's a 2008 Brian?

[bigford]

Replacing the "359" in 1987, it remained in production until March 2007 with the last 1,000 379s called the "Legacy Class 379".

Hey speedy8305, this truck hauls for Commercial transport. Living in a steel town on the border the big steel haulers here are Ken Graham transport who hauls mostly plate steel on flatbeds and the company Locomotiv transport. They haul coils and their fleet is all black Pete's .
Not sure if Commercial is the company your thinking of. I will ask my longtime trucker buddy and see if he can think of another steel haulin flatbed Pete fleet around here.:)
