From Franklin Mint, Peterbilt 334 stake bed from 1939 and Peterbilt 379 from the 1980\'s.

The 334 features real wood gates and bed floor, opening hood with removable side panels to display the Cummins engine and opening doors with real wood panel interior. This is an excellent replica of the 334. The truck this is based on is at the Peterbilt factory in Denton Texas, fully restored by Peterbilt in 1989 for the 50th anniversary of Peterbilt.

The 379 also has opening doors and a tilting hood to display the 3406 Caterpillar diesel. The sleeper roof is removable as well, to display the very nicely detailed interior. Both are in 32nd scale, and the 379 had two trailers available, the refrigerated van and a tank trailer. Both featured matching graphics to the tractor, which was also available in red.

I like the detailing on the engines. Got a better shot of the old Peterbilt Stake truck?

I\'ve got this one, and I will try for a better one.

Very nice models.

Frame.

the detail is very good, exspensive models.

Thanks Rob, that helps. I like the details.

And here\'s the other side.

Very nice trucks, with lots of great detail.....how long are those with the trailer attached?
Terry

About 20 inches long, 2 3/4 wide and 5 inches tall for the 379 and trailer. There is one more, the 387 that I never picked up. It also has the matching trailer. A Freightliner cabover and a Mack CH 600 were also made. Someday I\'ll add those to the collection.

Thanks Rob, this really shows the detail off well. It is a shame I don\'t have more room for the larger scale models. Some are fantastic.
