I picked this up a few weeks ago. It's a 62 Peterbilt 281, 855 cu in Cummins @ 280hp, 5+3 transmissions, little window butterfly hood!

It needs alot of TLC. Especially the 40 yrs of twisted wires but it's complete, runs, drives and stops. Runs much better than it looks! I accidentally had it up to 80mph with 3 gears to go!
