Home 20: Thorntown, Indiana
Truck: 1956 Peterbilt 351, 262 Cummins with a 5x3 transmission, custom- built for Bob Vogel
The show-stopper in Wildwood this weekend, for my eyes at least, was this stunning ‘56 model Pete. Sporting an aftermarket Mercury-inspired sleeper custom-made in Canada, this Key lime-colored beauty was truly a work of art.
Dustin Dickerson, who builds trucks out of his Thorntown, Indiana, shop, spoke of this and other projects.
“Bob Vogel brought this to us to restore. He loves Key West. We went for that 50s Bel Air look. [The truck] has a chassis from a 2000 model 379. The motor is a 220 Cummins which was upgraded to a 262 in 1964.
