"Brian," says Bob Tuck, "Just back from a few days in West Wales for Truck & Driver.
I naturally made time to call and see Andrew Cooper and his Peterbilt. I wanted to give him a large Peterbilt badge which I was given when I visited the Denton factory in Texas about 8 years ago. I think it was for their cab over model - the 362? It was starting to gather dust in the Tuck household and I thought Andrew would like it."

He was naturally pleased as punch and reckons it would look nice mounted on the rear cross member. I think it's the only space left on the entire truck where there's no bling already attached."

"I took a few snaps and Andrew says things are going well. I didn't however like the look of the driver's seat and wondered where the steering wheel had gone to. AC just laughed - of course!" Now click through here for more....

Well at least the dash is done....but if Bob's hoping to get a drive in the big Pete, Andrew better fit the steering wheel pronto...

That looks like an unfair bit of bribery, Bob! I don't think I will be able to match that.

Cheers, Vic.
