Young Guns & Old Trucks Ep. 2 Jrod and Hunter Madsen

Trucking runs deep in families like the Madsens and I'm thrilled to have this father and son introduce us to their beautiful 1977 Peterbilt 352 big bunk cabover. You won't find a cooler rig and at this year's Big Iron Classic truck show in Kasson, MN the truck was chosen to be on the show's dash plaque and t-shirts! (a massive honor for sure)

Though Hunter is a tad shy on camera, I can assure you that he and his peers know these old rigs inside and out, pouring countless hours into restoring, maintaining, and showing rigs that are sometimes older than their dads are. Hunter even drove this truck to his high school prom! Our industry and hobby are in great hands with young men like Hunter learning from generations of truckers well before obtaining their own coveted CDL.

For specs this beast sports a 425hp C model Caterpillar engine, 13 speed transmission, 3.55 gears, and Peterbilt Low Air Leaf suspension on a 250" wheelbase gives it that amazing look & ride.


Keep and eye out for more of these Young Guns and their Old Trucks, I can't wait to see where they take the reigns in the future; and I hope to document it in this series.
