[SCR] Peterbilt 351

Description
Description:
Peterbilt's lightweight model 351 was a worthy successor to the model 350, offering shorter wheelbases and more optimized weight distribution. The difference in sales numbers is very telling, with over 7000 351's being sold 1954-1976 vs 847 350's 1949-1957. It's fairly safe to say that the 351 was the model that really drove Peterbilt conventionals to the success they continue to enjoy.

This mod seeks to recapture some of the magic of this pivotal truck model, including one of its iconic movie appearances!

Helpful Hints:
Pay careful attention when configuring the chassis, engine, and transmission. The standard chassis use double reduction rear axles (Rockwell SLDD) and so only slow ratios are available (4.68 to 5.90). This is best suited to the more 'vintage' engine selections by trading off speed for more torque at the wheels. There are also chassis with Hendrickson RS or Stabilaire suspension and SQHD rears (ratios 3.70 to 4.63) which pair well with more recent engines.

Why do all the engine sounds basically sound the same

Is there any chance you could make a body color version of the "Slab" bumper and/or the high mount butterfly visor?

fonctionne t il version 1.55 ?

Would there be any future updates for more marker lights or perhaps cb radios and antennas?

Are there any engines that go with this mod that create more that the 475hp cummins ?

@Abbe07 I looked in used trucks and cant find it. Do you have to be a higher level, like level 12?

No interior shadow for 'cream_54.peterbilt.351_scr.interior' due to missing data.

Such error appears on the recent (1.54 etc) versions. Thank you.

Does this work in 1.54? Thank you all. Thank you dear Author, incredible mod!

i love this mod, but i feel like there should've been the Duel Truck air horn sound from the movie.
