Gailand Johnston
I have been in love with Gailand Johnston’s 1986 Kenworth W900B for almost as long as LargeCarMag has been around. I finally got my chance to get this big ride in front of my camera earlier this year in Joplin Missouri.

We had seen pictures here and there of Kyle Hennings beautiful 2013 Peterbilt 386 and every time we would see it on the internet, the comment would be made, “I would love to get that truck in front of my camera.” That opportunity finally came up for Rob Murray at this year’s Wheel Jam truck show and Rob did a great job showing just how large this truck really is!
