I'm not sure if you know the truck called "The Untouchable." It is a 1953 Peterbilt that will pretty much blow your mind. I know our minds were blown by it. Having seen it being built when I was a kid, it became the standard by which I judged all other trucks. And, as I have yet to see another truck with the underside sheeted in mirror finish stainless steel, it set the bar very high for me. Which is why it was such a great honour when we were asked to build a rear bumper or light bar for it. The light bar is a small thing when compared to the complete list of modifications done to this truck, yet, it was great to be part of its legacy.
Currently, the truck is located in Tye, TX and has been put up for sale by
Schuman Equipment. Contact the Schuman's if you are interested in purchasing the finest example of a 1953 Peterbilt. If you can only afford to look and not touch, then check out the
