Dean Jay, a hunter, uses this fox hide gear shift cover as one many animal touches on Cream Puff.One way we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of Overdrive’s Pride & Polish this year is highlighting 25 of our best custom rig videos.
In the eighth week of the countdown — which will span 25 weeks — here’s Dean Jay’s 2007 Peterbilt 379 and 2013 MAC flatbed, which features a creative use of animal pelts in the cab and sleeper.
The truck also features two unique storage compartments Jay and his sons built for storing tarps, straps and chains. One is between the frame rails, right behind the cab, and opens from the top. The other is on the underside of the flatbed, opening down. Wireless switches open and close the lids of both.
The truck, which Jay has nicknamed “Cream Puff,” has picked up several awards along the Pride & Polish circuit, including placing in categories like Working Combo, OEM Sleeper and Custom Paint Combo at the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas last year.
Here is a video of Jay and the truck:
