David Cloutier has a real head-turner on his hands. A superb 2016 4900-ST Western-Star. Colored in a beautiful blue and a paint scheme that gives a through-back hot rod look. Also in its beauty, chrome and lights were added to the mix with multiple custom parts to give the truck the look that David was aiming for.

The Star-Car was embellished with a 22-inch texas square front bumper, a custom sunvisor, 7-inch exhausts, stainless steel rear fenders, and stainless steel skirts beneath the fuel tanks. Also on his truck, David installed a 100% custom rear bumper and deck plate, painted, as well as the steps and fuel tanks to color match the blue.

The Western-Star also present a good looking interior for the corner office with a view. You must see the interior that David always speaks of with pride. The floor, done with look-a-like barn boards, the interior door panels, the dash, and the steering wheel were all painted white, which adds a touch of class to the finished product.

This is not only a show truck, but it also works for its pay. In order to get things done, this mule is equipped with a Detroit Diesel DD16 pushing 560 horses and 1850 lbs of torque. In the back of it lies an 18-speed transmission, built on a Hendrickson 12 000 lbs front axel and 46 000 lbs Airliner suspension in the back with full-lock differential.
