While I'm still here, let me toss in the build as it happened.........it started our life as the "snap" pete kit, hacked the cab/sleeper and sectioned the nose, scratched a frame and made it single drive set up with home made leaf springs, hacked the gas tank to resemble the origonal pete's, tossed the dual headlights for single headlights from the 1/24 opal blitz, made the windshield center section thicker like the origonal pete's, made it single exhaust and smoothed the kits front bumper to get rid of the fog/driving lights. The pogo stick is from an L700 truck and the suzies are scratched. Have a pick somewhere of the new and improved rim center hubcaps...took some rivets home from work, polished them up and attached them as baby moons{gotta find that pic}. -Bob
