Peterbilt 379 Dump Truck - By Andrew Wedge


First-time contributor Andrew Wedge built this Peterbilt 379 dump truck using a cab from Tonkin that he cut done to a day cab, a shortened frame from the Tonkin model, and added a tag axle. The dump body is an Athearn component that he cut the cab guard off and made a new one to accommodate the exhaust stacks. Andrew also added front fender guides, K40 CB antennas with the coil, "frog eye" headlights and a scratchbuilt retractable tarp. The cab is occupied by a driver and his dog.
