Peterbilt 379 Long Wheelbase Day Cab - By Richard Olson


This Peterbilt 379 day cab started as a yellow Malibu International Pete. The sleeper was removed and a new plastic rear wall and roof (with Con-Cor clearance lights) were constructed by Richard Olson. The cab guard/deck was scratchbuilt from Evergreen styrene as well. The hood was modified to accept the Trucks N' Stuff Peterbilt upgrade grille and the wheels and tires were replaced with Herpa chrome sets. The lowboy was a partially completed Bob Leinbach creation. The trailer was completed with real wood decking and matching Herpa wheel/tires. They both were finished in Dupli-color automotive paints and Bare Metal foil.
