mattb73lt Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Nice, I guess I'm not the only one driving around! I burned up a whole tank of gas driving in circles "exercising" my truck as there's nowhere to go, yet.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Many thanks. My choice would be the RS if I ever do but the Pete definitely has attractive and not very common appearance.

Great to see her stretching her legs! Must have felt really good after 6 years. I'm building yet another RS700 model at the moment.

Old School Pete. In my humble layman opinion the 359/289 was the last really good looking Pete. It still had plenty of subtle curves. (Had to have round lights, though). The next generation had all the radii sharpened so they got a kind of squared off look to them. Kenworth did the same with the W900B. I much prefer the looks of the W900A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convoyduel Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Trent, what’s the serial number on the Pete? This is my ‘76 with the same paint scheme. I’ve never seen another like it. I’ve been around the truck since ‘78 and bought it from the original owner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditchdiggerjcf Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I miss the days when the factories took the time to put those kinds of paint jobs on trucks. Pride of ownership was a big deal for owner-operators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
