25 for 25: Bill Rethwisch’s ‘Blood, Sweat & Gass’

Jun 19, 2015

One way we’re celebrating the 25^th anniversary of Overdrive’s Pride & Polish this year is highlighting 25 of our best custom rigs videos.

In the ninth week of the countdown – which will span 25 weeks – here’s Bill Rethwisch’s 2013 Peterbilt 389 and matching Polar tanker, which features an interior as impressive as its exterior.

Rethwisch has won numerous awards with the truck, including a Pride & Polish National Championship at last year’s 2014 Great American Trucking Show.

The truck, which Rethwisch has named Blood, Sweat & Gass, has a green and white exterior paint scheme that carries through seamlessly into its highly custom interior.

Here is a video of Rethwisch and the truck:

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
