Peterbilt Pickup

[Barry]

My east coast buyer is based in Naples, Fla. Last week he flew to South Carolina to attend an auction for me and several other dealers he buys for.

On the return flight he sat beside a Peterbilt factory rep. The two of them started talking about the Freightliner FL series. Tongue in cheek, the rep. said to wait 6 to 8 months and Peterbilt would have a pickup on the market to compete for the RV and hauling trade. My friend said one of the things he disliked about the FL series was the flat slab dash that had no lines. The factory rep just smiled and all he would say is "Just Wait".

Just imagine, A PETERCAR PICKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... Sign me up!

Those of you that scout the trade publications, if you hear or see anything on this would you be so kind as to post it for me.

Holy Crud, I better start saving some money. Picture this: PeterPickup, with 2 CTD Doggies on a big flatbed for truck pulls and such.

That this is SWEET!!! All you need now is for the front wheels to fill the fenders. I think I could get used to it, though.

Anything but a frieght shaker.

GM,Ford,Chrystler better watch out. IH now Pete. Give us what we want and we will buy it.

I'm in line already...

If Peterbilt made a pickup, I'd hock my house to get one. Seriously.

Good Gravy! Sign me up now! Imagine, cool styling, Peterbilt name recognition, power, durability, and maybe even a steering system that wouldn't "death wobble" me off the shoulder every three weeks!

so, if some Bombers got ahold of a PeterBuilt, then tied a chain to two Peterbuilts, and started a pull off,, would you call that a Peter Pulling Contest?

 

[Steve M]

That was funny! My wilderbeast even cracked up over that one!:-laf :-laf

 

[MCummings]

That just looks wrong. That takes the term "Mexican Bass Boat" to a whole new level.

Peterbilt pickups ...

The little red wagon



Now that would be nice, but the bed is a little small.

 

[HeavyHauler]

Someone's got a little more money than sense on that one. I shudder at the thought of a Ford bed on a perfectly good Pete 359. I hope that's not what Peterbilt has in mind...

 

[WadePatton]

Wonder if they'll let me pull that in "street diesel"?Oo. :-laf
