I caught this very large 359 off exit 104 of I-95 in Virginia back in the early 90’s. 359, Double Eagle and matching trailer all add up to LARGE!

Seven year old Klayton West sent us this doodle.
Welcome to the June 2014 issue of LargeCarMag online! In this issue, we have coverage from 2013 Topgun Largecar shootout by Alicia Kohls. We also have a feature on Ron Saris’s 2000 KW W900L, and of course we have our usual Flashback, Riding Around, Reader’s Rides, Truckin’ Tattoo, and Diesel Doodles features.
Ron Saris, of Leamington, ON, Canada owns this beautiful combo. The tractor is a 2000 Kenworth W900L.
Rich Stark caught this very large 379 while out and about.
CJ Mohl owns this large 1984 Peterbilt 359. CJ stretched the wheelbase to 300”, added 8” pipes, painted fuel tanks and over 100 LED lights.
The TopGun LargeCar ShootOut takes place in the Rantoul National Aviation Center. Beautiful, hard working rigs sat poised next to the World War II era airplanes.
I caught this super clean 359 off Exit 133 of I-95 in Virginia back in the early 90’s.
Earl Noble III of Kennesaw Georgia stopped by our booth in Louisville this year to share these very cool tattoo’s with us.
Eight year old Kolby Yates of Anderson South Carolina is an incredible artist! He drew the awesome doodle you see here.
Some people say “Out with the old, in with the new.”, but Cory Thene of Sauk Rapids, MN has the best of both worlds. His 1985 Peterbilt 359 has classic styling mixed with a few hot rod features that are usually associated with more modern trucks. This truck didn’t start out this nice though…
Rich Stark with yet another great catch. A two axle 389 looking large!
Darren Friedrichsen drives this large 2004 Peterbilt 379 for Mike White, White Trucking in Hadar, NE. Darren tells us he hauls anything that will fit on the deck from bees to steel running all 48 states.
The 2013 Waupun Truck-N-Show was held August 9-10th Waupun WI. Rob Murray got this awesome coverage.
Over 40 top notch working class trucks braved the rain and cool temps to show support for the Brad Broshar family. This show was held in Britt, Iowa, during their Hobo Celebration. It was the 3rd annual event in memory of Brad Broshar, who bravely fought colon cancer until another Trucker was needed up in Heaven. His family has not let his legacy fade.
Previously this show was held at the Nebraska Crossing Outlet mall in Gretna in conjunction with the Nebraska Trucking Association and the local chapter of the American Historical Truck Society. However, last year, due to circumstances beyond their control, they lost their original venue and moved the show to the casino in Council Bluffs.
