Larger photos for ideas and detail reference.
Updated with 2008 trucks!
I've uploaded these photos much larger than they appear on my other pages and have edited the photos to pick out specific detail or optional configurations for model building projects. You'll notice that almost every truck shown is slightly different from one that looks very similar. With the dozens and dozens of 1:1 scale configurations possible, this means that no matter how you build your scale model, chances are there is a real truck spec'd similarly.
Most of the trucks seen here could be built with the Revell of Germany Peterbilt 377 or the Italeri Peterbilt 377AE or the Italeri Peterbilt 378 kits as the base with plenty of scratchbuilding, resin hoods, wheels, tires and other components. The 387 would have to be built from the rare resin transkit from D'Elegant or use the 1/32nd scale Testors kit. As for the 320 COE, you'll have to scratchbuild that cab.
I hope the photos are of help and inspiration!
