Owner-operator’s West Coast hot rod-style 379

Idaho-based Jake Bast pulls a flatbed leased to RAM Transportation with this 2001 Peterbilt 379, which he has customized to his own style during his eight years of ownership. Bast showed the truck at the 2023 Shell Rotella SuperRigs working truck show, where it placed second in the Tractor-Trailer Division. Here, Bast walks through the multitude of customizations he’s made to the truck over the years, from the paint to the transmission, interior, his 2019 East flatbed and much more.
