Building a white truck was a good way to use those white rims I got plenty of. I thought that a heavy wrecker had to look sort of "mean", so I added a cow catcher, which took me quite some time to built until I was satisfied with the result (including to solve the problem that the hood still had to be openable).
The exhaust pipes, air filters, fuel tanks and sun visor are still the same as the Kenworth's, but to make this truck a Peterbilt, I had to built different headlights, footboards, fenders, etc. The hood also has a different shape, so the cabin is two studs smaller this time.
The trucks still lacks an engine and the whole " wrecking part". I will finish this project as soon as I get my hands on sufficient reference material for the towing mechanism.
Model dimensions (so far): Length: 71cm, width: 21cm

As a child I had mostly built US trucks from the two major brands: Kenworth and Peterbilt. So when I decided to build a second large scale US truck, it had to be a Peterbilt, for old times sake and in terms of variety.
