1973 Peterbilt 352 Cabover

[Pete68]

I started this truck last year sometime I was wondering if a AMT Cabover Peterbilt would work on a AMT little window Peterbilt frame. So far so good. I’ve used some spare parts I had laying around and one I found was a Battery Box lid from my brother Bill’s old Pete Cabover he built around 1970 thought it would be a classy touch to the truck. This is what I have so far.

Looking nice so far.  I like the green with the shite stripe.

Looks good, why are you doing it, for the longer chassis or is a leftovers job?

Never built one of these Cabovers with a long chassis seen one in a pic one time and always wanted to build one like it

Thanks for the complements guys. Here’s a mock up I did yesterday.

It looks grand! It's longer than the kit chassis but not overly much. Looks like something you would see on the road in the day.

Mike yes after I striped I thought has to be a 1973-74 I’ll be putting the low pro Air conditioner on it from the Pete T-501 kit. Thanks for the complement.

I like this one already! You have really captured the vintage look! This one is going to be good! Looking forward to seeing more!

[Pete68]

Thanks for the complement Brian. Hope to get more done on it soon

That's looking good, chassis and cab look to be a great fit. I like the colour scheme on it too.

 Nice start on your Pete. Looking forward to seeing you build this one. 

[Pete68]

Gareth. Thanks for the complement it’s coming along pretty good

Dan. Thanks for the complement I’m going to try to keep building this up.

Fantastic work,  the colors look great together ! The longer frame really works too

[Pete68]

Thanks Jeff for the complement.

Looking real nice, Man... I love the white frame... Great idea for this rig...

Thanks JT for the complement. I’m kind stumped on the back wheels at the moment I’ll probably go with Freightliner ones.
