Peterbilt 379 Truck Tractor & Cozad Lowboy Trailers - By Kevin Shanahan


These photographs from Kevin Shanahan feature a Classic Mint Collectibles (CMC) Peterbilt 379 extended hood heavy haul tractor. This is a 3 axle CMC brass model modified by Kevin. It has been cut down from a tri-drive truck tractor to a tandem drive configuration. This is another Oscar Shaughnessey Construction Company unit used in the heavy haul and oversize load division. This tractor pulls a variety of trailers for Shaughnessey. The Cozad 44 ton western style 16 wheel lowboy trailer (above) was built from a Kulak Custom Kits laser cut styrene kit. The trailer in both photos below is an expandable Cozad 44 ton Gen-X II Expando lowboy trailer kitbashed from another Kulak Custom Kits offering. It features a detachable goose neck sourced from a CMC Talbert lowboy trailer.
