Dave Van Haitsma bought this 1995 Kenworth W900 last September, put in plenty of work and had it ready to show by March. It made its debut at the Mid-America Trucking Show’s PKY Truck Beauty Championship in Louisville, Ky.

“We stripped it totally down, took the engine out, took the cab off,” says Haitsma, who runs V-Max Transportation, a 33-truck fleet based in Zeeland, Mich.

The fleet specializes in hauling office furniture, and one key client hooked them up for a direct purchase of leather for the seats and interior padding. In this video, Van Haitsma shows off the W900’s crisp red, white and black interior touches and the complementary exterior graphics.
