Working in and with this 2007 Peterbilt 379, powered by an '06 emissions-spec Caterpillar C16, has been something of a dream come true this year for operator Andrew Reed, whom I met when he showed the truck last month at the Large Cars & Guitars truck show in Tennessee.
Reed, a Kentucky native, pulls for the truck's owner, six-truck Lewis Transfer out Grayson, hauling most anything that will fit within a step deck's conestoga set-up.
Among impressive detail work laid on by Xtreme is the centered design that runs top to bottom on the back of the sleeper.
Along the way, the interior was touched up with chrome bezels on the dash, red map lights and more.
After Reed took the rig's reins, he noticed the wood-grain original dash panels starting to peel and came across Michigan-based Rip It Up Customs on TikTok, where the owner advertised his dash work. Some consultation, direction, $600 and little more than a week later, Reed was sitting in a very long line at a Blue Beacon truck wash and getting to work installing the new paneling. Catch plenty views of it in the video.
What the dash looks like today, behind the 22-inch Retro steering wheel.
It's a fine specimen of a truck, no doubt.
