not your average trike
 
SPECS


Make: Peterbilt
Model: wide nose/small window
Year: 1972

Height: 59.5 inches
Width: 88 inches
Length: 158 inches
Ground Clearance: 3.5 inches
Weight: approximately 4,000 pounds


Artist: Michael Leeds, artist and co-owner, Blastolene Brothers, Santa Cruz, Calif.


SPECS


Special Welds: Special welds were performed on Jesse's custom-built side pod and the fabricated gas tank.


Body Modifications: A 3,000-pound Peterbilt Motors Company semi served as the trike frame. The semi's air brakes, foot pedals, air horn, five-speed transmission, clutch and steering box were also used.


Biggest Challenges: The team's biggest challenges were adjusting to a change in design (from a two-wheel chopper to a three-wheel trike), creating the trike's front end using the semi's axle, and building the trike frame around the 3,000-pound truck motor.
