Elvis Williamson and his son, Elvis Jr., of Poplar

Oct 19, 2011

Elvis Williamson and his son, Elvis Jr., of Poplarville, Miss., showed this 1995 Peterbilt 379 at the 2009 Great American Trucking Show Pride & Polish for a friend. They bought it directly afterward, tore it down to the frame rails and rebuilt it. “We fix them up and put our own touch on them with a blend of old school styling with new school technology,” Williamson says. The truck won third in the Working Bobtail, 2000 & Older category, in the 2010 GATS Pride & Polish.
