Super Pete Blueprint

Tested it against all side pictures of Pete I could find. Only three of em were really usable, so accuracy is not 100%. Also could not find clear shot from top, however as it was purpose built roll over truck, there were pretty good shots of underside

My original try were pretty far from truth

Mike Welch's magnum opus, Super Pete gets blueprints this time. Peterbilt blueprints were no use, as none of em had dimensions marked (and were incorrect anyway) and Super Pete was combination of two different petes. Cab is '47 pete, similar to Duel truck and nose is from much bigger 80's pete. Height and width of Pete are known dimensions, I assumed 152 inches of height meant at top of cab, not at the end of exhaust pipe. Maybe I should ask how tall is Welch, as one of the pictures show him standing on step. If he is at least 6 foot tall, cab should be about right size. I just assumed wheelbase, looks about correct.
