Companies With all Peterbilt Fleets

Thanks, I'm just kinda sniffin around for later on down the road. Thought some of you guys would be good for given me a line on where to look when I'm ready......In the mean time thanks to all of ya..... and please keep them coming, I've got a folder started so I can an eye on them.

 

Great info, and thank you sir!! And yeah Momma does know I'm eyeballin , and thinkin out loud(she knows when I do that it's somethin serious). Like I said earlier I'm gonna jump out of the seat for good in a couple three years, thought I might snag a decent used Pete and maybe do as little as them Triple R or whatever them guys down in Texas are doin with them high mileage trucks. You know clean it up, throw a little chrome, stainless, and polish on it and put it up for sale and watch all them young bucks drool. Grab a few loads when the cherries start droppin of the trees up here to help pay for itself during that season and whatever, be a hobby trucker. Or I don't know maybe do the real deal, and stretch one out, rebuild and customize it, kinda old school cool like those guys at East Coast Large Cars do. Only bring it out in the summertime, run it down to Reno if they still have that show during Hot August Nights, or even LA. Been ta both them shows a few times, they have some medium sweet rides show up. I think that would be fun. I don't know, gonna have the time, got the change layin around, got the place to do it and all. Thought maybe that would help keep me out of trouble with the old lady, and off her ahhhhhh....back all the time if ya know what I mean. Like I said this is just like a R&D thing, I might decide screw the newer ones and go grab one up around the mid 1960s, our maybe even grab one of the even older butterfly hoods. I still see one or two of them around in "decent" shape once in awhile. I know ya'all think I'm nuts, but..........well you're right I am, but what the hell ya only live once, and I like ta have a little fun. Well that would be fun for me, I know it'd be a lotta work, but not like real work. Besides I know if I did a decent job somebody would buy it, they're irresistible to some of us.

 

I thought they just used short hoods, but that top one looks like an extended hood, or is it just the angle of the pic? Naaa that's a hood ain't it?
