This cool looking Peterbilt 379 belongs to my good buddy, Don R. jr. from Ohio. It's '92 model and powered with beefed up 60 series Detroit putting out over 550hp's. Don is in the middle of bunk swap and new bunk will be repainted soon. Don have done all the custom work including extending the frame by him self. He's pulling '08 model drop deck trailer. The trailer is equiped with flip axle for heavy loads. Really nice work Don!!! And keep us posted with the progress!
