OK, the package *does* say Peterbilt. I would have guessed International, maybe GMC, or even Autocar...but not Pete. |

Very cool! I think Matchbox also used this cab for a tank truck and a cement mixer. I remember having a milk version with cow spots all over it! I really love Matchbox rigs in the mainline, and I hope that for 2014 we can have another licensed rig, like a Mack Titan or Freightliner Cascadia. That would be the day! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Based on the overstock of some of the big rigs this past year, they may not be too anxious to issue new ones. Some stores like WM's here clearanced out a lot of the Working Rigs |
