Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't feature the same truck twice. But since David & Allyson Geer's truck is almost completely redone since last year, it definitely deserved not only a full feature, but also a cover shot.

The first thing you notice on the outside of the 98 379 Pete is the new murals. They seem to flow beautifully across the entire tractor. Then you'll notice the hood now has true louvers in it. Moving to the trailer, the huge 150 gallon fuel tank hanging down will really catch your attention. The basic specs of the truck are the same. The Pete is powered by 550 Cat with a 13 speed trans and rides on a 325" wheelbase. The changes that David has made to the interior since last year really blew me away. The Pete has an all hardwood floor in the tractor and sleeper. The seats are literally bolted to the floor on chrome seat brackets. The clutch pedal is a foot peg off of a Harley. The shifter was cut down to 18" and it has a custom made billet steering wheel. To make life on the road more comfortable, the bunk features a 14" flat screen T.V., cd player, a home sound system with 16 speakers, a microwave, a refrigerator and a cb. David and Allyson's truck definitely deserved a cover shot and I'm glad I had the opportunity to shoot it.
