1/25 AMT Peterbilt 359 dump truck build

[ShakyCraftsman]

Hey all

  Here's a little something I've been working on in Unigraphics NX11. It is the AMT Peterbilt 359 day cab kit along with the dump box from the AMT Autocar dump truck. Here are some pictures for you to look at. Let me know what you think.

front isometric view with five hole 22.5 Peterbilt wheels and tires.

rear isometric view.

side view with the 5 hole Peterbilt 22.5 wheels and tires.

side view with 24.5 6 spoke (Mack style) wheels and tires.

rear isometric view of the truck with the 24.5 wheels and tires. I know that Pete's never came with 6 spokes, but look cool.?

Nice concepts.  Putting the spokes on the rear gives it that East Coast look.

I like Peterbilts with spoke wheels myself.

Looks like a great project!

Looks like its going to be a great project for sure, definitely a fan of the spoke wheel option on this build. I'll be following this one!

Pull the frame in just a little or you won't be able to dump the load without interference.

Yes, you need a bit more overhang of the dump body.
