Wesley Wimmer owns this large 1992 Peterbilt 379 and 1997 Great Dane reefer. Wesley has owned the truck since 1996 and made many changes along the way.

Jace King

Most aren’t up to the caliber of Jace King’s 2001 Pete 379. Having grown up in some pretty cool rides like a ’72 KW A model and an “80 Pete 359 short hood, he knew his future involved beautiful trucks and hard work. He started J King Trucking 10 years ago and at 34 years old his Pete shows he knows what he’s doing!

John Neal

Many trucks caught my eye that day but one of the real standouts was John Neal’s 1982 Kenworth A model. Well, the title says 1982 but the specs tell another story.

Phil Knowlan
