Owner-operator Randy Zink is the third owner of this 1987 Peterbilt 359. He bought the truck from a friend and uses it to haul cement to oil fields. The Palmer, Tex., resident says the truck has new paint, exhaust, horns, lights, air lines, fuel lines, chocks, airbags, brakes, drums and “numerous other parts.” The rig is a glider and is powered by a 400-hp Cummins and a 15-speed transmission. “I take her out riding often,” Zink says. “I love driving her.”
