Houston-based owner-operator V.L. “Catfish” Harris dubbed this 1990 Peterbilt 379 the Junk Yard Dog because, as he explains it, “I built this truck out of the junkyard.” Harris, who has been trucking for more than 25 years, says the rig is powered by an 850-hp Caterpillar C15 engine with a 13-speed transmission and a 4-speed auxiliary. 

Below are a few more photos Harris sent in of the rig. Click here to upload a photo of your truck.
