Amongst Martin Brassard’s company, this working 1995 Peterbilt that he rebuilt completely himself back in the fall of 2017, is a gem for sure.

With its flamboyant colour, its 260-inch wheelbase and its 48-inch flat-top sleeper, this truck is already a head-turner. Martin installed custom fiberglass fenders, in the front and in the back, 8-inch cab and bunk side panels, a custom sun visor, a set of 8-inch exhausts and much more.

Numerous parts were painted to match the truck such as the mirror brackets, air cleaners, fuel tanks, grill shell and much more.

Besides its great look, the truck is not at ease under the hood ether. Powered by a 550 horsepower 3406E Caterpillar engine, it’ll carry the mail.

The 379 has over 3 000 000 kilometers to this day.
