3/4 scale

[landman]

My wife's cousin's husband has made this 3/4 scale Peterbilt to tow his fifth wheel camping trailer. It is a real cab narrowed and lowered mounted on a GMC or Chevy 1 ton tow truck chassis.

That is very cool.

[cobraman]

It sure is.

Now that is cool! Can you imagine the look on the truckers faces when that thing passes them on the highway? ?

The skills some people have amazes me. They're the kind of folks I wish had lived near me when I was growing up. I'd have swept their floors just to hang around and learn.

Hehehe,

That’s one sweet mini Pete.

I saw a 3/4 scale KW900 on a trip to WAAAM last year in Hood River. It had a Perkins diesel under the hood painted in Cummins tan.

Here is another view.

There was a body shop down the road from me. A friend of the owner (Randy) was working on one of these for a long time. If I recall right the body was all done waiting on paint and windows. I believe it was scrapped.

Sorry I forgot to say that the Orange truck is cool.

The owner ran out of funds?

Looks like really nice work on that. An attention getter, for sure.

I called my buddy and I was wrong it was not a 3/4 scale but a custom that was sitting very low on a different frame but out back in the brush.  He said his son picked it up after dad moved up north. It was at the shop for decades.  I guess It just looked smaller to my eye from so far away. sorry about the miss information.
