Bringing home 69 Pete

[Peanutbutter]

I'm thinking about building my own joe dog but I have very little info. These are the only photos I have, this one is made by a company by the name of Eight Point. Does anyone have any info or pics of other joe dogs.

I don't know much of anything about them,but here's a couple other pictures:

Thanks guys, I knew you two could scratch up something on these. Not something you see around here, I've heard of jifflox but never seen one except for a couple of youtube vids. I need to learn the pros and cons of each one, and which one requires the least amount of modifications to the tractor. I like the single axle tractors but some days the DOTs are out in force.

I wanted to let you guys know about this book if you don't already, if you like vintage pete's this is a great book and worth the money. You can normaly find it on ebay.

A few random pete pics, hope you like them.

Factorystock, you mentioned the red 281 in post 135 having center point steering, this is something I know nothing about. Can you ketch me up to speed on this. I went back and looked at the red truck and don't see anything different between it and my blue and white as far as the front axle.

Interesting pictures. I like the Single Axle Box truck.

That would make a pretty cool Roll Back.

Yea thats my buddys yard it sat there for a little bit I hauled water with it tell about 2 years ago. The tank was 4000 gal and it would pull that load with ease. I scrapped the tank it had a crack that got worse and was in a bad spot then tore truck down to paint frame and engine and thats were it sits. I will get started on it again next year just been collecting parts right now. I have the build sheet from pete on the truck and the build sheet from cummins for both motors. The build sheet from cummins is real detailed all part numbers on what was installed in the engine also who assembled it. It even has the dyno results and what oil pressure and temp was when tested its real nice info. I am going to build a bed with a dove tail on the truck to haul my toys and also haul a travel trailer. I miss driving it every other truck I drove I couldnt wait to get out of but not this one.

I thank you for remembering the old girl I like talking about her.

I love the clariben hood so much easier to work on plus it is out of the ordinary.

True. Looks like A cross between a KW A model and a white road commode

That was a great looking truck as it was. I'm sure you'll have it lookin' sharp once you get on it.

[marvgarr68]

I do like the look of the dual headlight kw look it is a real nice constructed hood and heavy.

I hope to have it looking nice have to finish my c10 first. I can build the pete a lot faster then the c10. The engine/trans/aux trans/rear end/suspension/brakes are all in top condition all I have to do is clean and paint frame. Then I have to work on inteior and plumbing. I ripped out all the cloth lines and am going to replace with nylon dot line. I wish the c10 would go faster dont want to cut corners but it can go faster but im only one person. I want to start on the pete and have it back in running condition.

By what I see in your signature,you get things done. I never get a truck done too fast. I get anxious,like anyone else,but I know it's just the way it is.

this is true I am moving forward at a good pace im just anxious I guess

[special-K]

Well,that's part of it,but looking back after things are done it don't mean squat. We need to ring up Mr.Peanutbutter somehow. I'm sure he'd enjoy seeing this.

[marvgarr68]

He should check in

[KQQL IT]

Pink paint you say?

[Peanutbutter]

Sorry guys, I've been preoccupied for awhile. Thanks KQQl IT for this photo, best one I've seen, I almost thought it was my truck for a minute. Can you put a year model on it? Can't tell if its tilt hood or butterfly, I think its a 281. I'm thinking about repainting mine back to original colors but I don't think people around here would understand. It would be nice to paint it back the way it should be and take it to the Brooks show. Once again thanks KQQl IT for finding this pic, really made my day.
