May 13, 2016

Josh Ivey, out of Midway, Texas, owns this 1997 Peterbilt 379 extended hood that features a Cummins N14 with a Pittsburgh Power and 13-speed transmission. Ivey stretched it from a 260-inch wheelbase to a 303-inch, bagged the front end, added a fresh paint job, added fenders from Fibertech and 8-inch Dynaflex stacks. The interior is painted to match the exterior. All work on the truck was done by Ivey himself.
