Pic's of the whole truck?

 

Forgot to take them. lol I'll get some tomorrow.

 

91 is pretty fucking old for a truck how many miles are on it? The oldest we have in our fleet is 03.

 

Almost a million and a half. Around 1,470,000 if I remember right. The newest they have in their fleet is a 2001 KW. They're a smaller local company with about 30 employees, most of which work in their crating and shipping department. They used to have a 2004 Mack Vision but it was awful to drive and constantly breaking down, so they traded it for a '99 KW heavy hauler. That thing is a beast.

But this truck has been taken car of. The previous owner was an owner/operator, so it wasn't company owned and this guy took care of it. It has all the service records back to '91 I believe.

 

Great job. How do you think that would work on my wife's 9-3SS stock wheels?

 

I wouldn't use this. This stuff is for bare metal; it says not to use it on painted surfaces.

 

Here are some pics of the whole thing:

Other tank polished:

1.43 million miles:

We'll probably put in some new switches

Custom colors on the interior:

The interior is still under construction. It's getting hardwood flooring put in that comes close to matching the wood on the dash, and the sleeper section is getting totally redone with some more modern stuff. What surprised me about the truck is how good the paint looks. I think it's been repainted, because it looks too good to be 20 years old.

Oh yeah, and the 425 CAT:

 

Nice, now you've got to do the wheels!

 

Thanks! They're next, along with the headache rack.

Thats a nice 379, here is mine.

Thanks! You and your dad both have sweet trucks. I love the flat-tops.

The orange frame Pete is mine, the all black Pete is my dads.
I was up in Norwalk CT last Friday and i spoted this on a garage door on a spring repair shop.

 

i like this thread!

 

Here's his old Mack:

I need to get some pics of their other trucks.

 

we have a fleet of probably 75-100 Petes here... some with cats, some with the new cummins. some old, some new, some cabover (but not many)

even have one 6x6 KW...

 

They only have 5 trucks. 3 KW's, 1 Pete, and an old ass beat up Freightliner.

A lot of their business comes from crating military equipment, vehicles, and other various big things. As well as cleaning up train derailments for CSX and Norfolk Southern.

They did bring this to where it sits now...

That is awesome! I love those oversize load rigs. I see wind turbine blades going through our area occasionally with them.

 

Thats pretty cool!

 

They had a full police escort on that job. The rig holding up the butt end of the bat was actually steered independently by someone in it. They actually had to cut all the parking meters in half on the streets they brought that down since the ends of the bat swung out so far it would have hit them.

And if you look closely, my grandpa's (who owned the company at the time) Corvette is setting on the street corner. lol I believe the whole move was broadcast live on the local stations.

 

I saw one of those wind turbine blades I was talking about get worked through an elevated traffic circle surrounded by high railings. A bunch of us were at a nearby diner spouting "no f'n ways" at them. The guy on the rear rig had a remote control that was connected to it wit a 30' cord. He was walking behind and maneuvering it like a little RC car or something. They got that huge thing through there with fractions of an inch to spare. Took a long time, but was cool to watch.
