| These pictures were taken of a 1953 Peterbilt belonging to Dino Guadagni. The entire Western Distributing Transport Inc. fleet looks as fine as this Peterbilt, but the others are newer. The far right photo shows the interior of the '53 Peterbilt. | ||

This Peterbilt was taken at Denver Peterbilt in 1977.
This truck was featured in the 1978 Peterbilt factory brochure "Rest with Class." The truck was a custom built unit, built by the design/engineering staff at Newark. The sleeper is the first 63" built, and was all hand-fabricated. Note that the right side sleeper door has "suicide" hinges.. This feature only lasted on a couple of sleepers. The truck was built with the then-rare option of the long hood for a 127" BBC, plus the 63" sleeper.. the designers/engineers dubbed the truck "Big MaMoo." Big MaMoo was also the first truck with the 4 rectangular headlights. They were removed after the photo shoot, and normal round lights installed. Rectangular lights became an option in 80. Big MaMoo also was one of the 1st (if not the first) with the rounded dash. Some call it "Corvette dash." No Chevy influence here, the designer was inspired by the cockpit of an antique airplane. Here is another view of the same truck. Thanks to Tim Alhborn for this information. |
