Headquartered in Louisiana, oil and gas pipeline pro Jarrett Landy isn't a working owner-operator, but he's a proud truck owner nonetheless -- so much so that when Peterbilt got wind of this custom restoration, the company invited Landry to participate in the annual Pride & Class parade and truck show in October 2023.
The 1988 Peterbilt 379 was built originally as a daycab for a North Carolina owner, he said.
Functionally, it was veritable "flower pot" when he found it.
It wasn't running, and he and his owner-operator father, Wayde Landry, toted it home on a lowboy to start what would be a three-year odyssey to complete the rig.
Parts from nearly a dozen other trucks -- including the very chassis on which the entire rig now sits -- went into the build of what's now a 240-inch-wheelbase, single-drive-axle unit.
You can follow Landry on Instagram for a closer look at in-process shots of the rig he's compiled there using this handle.
