Last one from BLB for today. When you're the kind of truck manufacturer like Peterbilt it's only right that you should celebrate your heritage and that's exactly what you'll find on the Peterbilt website via this link - a complete company history celebrating 70 years of quality on http://www.peterbilt.com/history.aspx. And while I'm at it Biglorryblog has also found these terrific B&W shots of classic Pete's too! So for a pie name those models!
