Custom champs: Concert-hauling 2011 Pete 389 glider channels old-school look
The truck, which after 500,000 miles was intended to be driven occasionally by Shomotion owner Michael Scherkenbach, was instead given to a retiring owner-operator to keep him on tour with the fleet part-time. He didn't bat an eye at the coffin sleeper.
