it didnt sell on ebay , but it looks like its sold now anyway

and look where the driver has to sit .... i bet that ride is nice i think i keep the Pete

lowered the price

bad roads? are you kidding switzerland (thats where im from) has a "Autobahn" system where you could drive 120+ mph ...but all the trucks have to have a speed limiter set at 80 kmh (52 miles)....thats just plain stupid

its europe...the "expedition" look is a big "in" thing...lots of "bling bling" ...too bad they can only go 52 mph over there

here is one for our COE friends

AWWWW.... Fugly why didnt they just make the whole rig that tall? makes no sense to me btw Bravestdog keep up the link-posting; i like to see different stuff....gives me lots of ideas (sometimes how to NOT do it )

yes, i agree: Travis; thanks for the tips im sure i will need them very soon (i plan to use the EPDM too)

hhmmmm...right! something is fishy here...its like something is missing ...you think it could be a link???

thank`s Bill here are some specs: the Pete is 30' overall, 11.5' tall and has a WB of 277" (no frame mod. , the rear axle is in the stock rear tandem location). the 12.5' long, 96" wide and 82" tall (finished inside height) sleeper will be air suspended to the frame with 4 air bags and a...

Gary, problem is that the input yoke is smaller for the rear axle, but not only that, also the input shaft is a smaller diameter. Also the driveshaft angles are much easier to work with the lock mechanism is simple and it is locked for good Thomas

here is more (Warpath, i hope its ok that i post so many pics ): after drawing the whole rig on AutoCAD the buildup of the sleeper starts; finish welding the underside and adding the side boxes; the big moment: will it fit? the extended sleeper takes shape now. notice...

Geof ....its clear that I didnt make the pics "we" are two brothers and "we" normaly build sand/ desert buggies together

after a long time of research and playing with different ideas we finaly started our Pete "379" conversion here is what we started with; we call her O`Malley (pre owner was O`Malley Trucking in MI) , she is a "class of `95" regular hood "379" with a cummins N14, super 10 trans, 250" WB, 2x...

Sarah, when I looked into Toters I was impressed with the quality ARI builds. ARI other I would look into is Randy Butler, he posts also in this board. The ideas I saw from him look very interesting ... Trailer I think you found already a good one with T & E I for myself build my own...

Tom, i agree on that oak trim here oak trim there ...i cant look at oak anymore here are some altenative materials: i like that walnut together with the leather btw pics are from Century Custom Coach

...and THIS for the full effect

yes Wera ....but where is it? maybe sitting too long? the Pete is a 359, so it has to be a 1990 or older unit....so that makes under 6000 miles a year but on the other hand the ol big cam is fairly cheap to work on or even do a inframe overhaul (if the engine has some damage from sitting) if...

And you need THIS

check this out: nice rig @ Racing Junk $35k for the Truck and the Trailer its not a "379" Pete...its a older "359"... but still a killer deal makes you think: "where is the catch ???"

B Dog here is another one posted by "James"@Escapees board: "I'd rather have my rig seen by others as overkill than have it seen as roadkill." Love it!!! (will be on the back of our Pete )

i second that this board could use a little more action

Wick just click on the little green pic (second last in the tool bar) it will ask for the image URL (the image has to be online) we have a website with all our pics... here is a inside pic: the door is out for painting more pics

Now THAT'S what I call respect for authority! WAITAMINUTE! Isn't this Geof we're talking about? It's been a loooong day...... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

i second that there is always a sale on one of them cobras at Flying J or any of the other major truck stops... but if you want a real nice unit and perfect tuned aerials i would go to a CB shop
