Here's another look at Todd Terpstra's Peterbilt 379 extended hood truck tractor and Utility 53' refrigerated trailer he had on display at the 2003 National Convention in Allentown. Todd started with a Herpa cab, scratchbuilding an extended hood to 127" BBC, and replaced the original fenders with new ones made from Evergreen styrene strips. Todd used A-Line fuel tanks and Plano photo-etched mirrors and frame steps. Additional details include custom built air cleaners, large diameter exhaust stacks, single unit headlights, and fuel tank covers on the front ends. That beautiful paint job is Testor's Boyd Teal and Ice Blue. Outstanding job! Previously appearing in Photo Galleries 78, 82, 130, and 135.
