Yep- a TEXAS PETE truck and trailer!

It is based off an asphalt trailer. I thought that would be appropriate considering it is "hot" sauce.

I decided to go full custom for the trailer. Its not based off a US-1 tanker- although some of the trailer chassis is made from US-1 parts (auto trailer).

The cab is a sleeper less dump body shortened to ride on semi chassis.

Thanks guys!

I think I've gotten shortening the dump truck body down pretty good to fit on a semi chassis. It is amazing what a little automotive spot putty will do to fill in gaps.

I'm working on another custom. I decided to go with a Mt. Olive pickle paint scheme. The paint on the trailer is still too soft for my custom decals... so it will be a couple of days before I finish it.
