Custom Peterbilt Needlenose Tour & Interview

Coming up with fresh ideas and customizations on semi trucks has been around for many decades; but when a truly new perspective that ITSELF takes a decade to create; it’s something special. In this episode Dustin Drefke shows us around Darcy Johnson’s 1962 Peterbilt 351 Needle Nose. It’s been stretched and dropped onto a more modern chassis. A Caterpillar C16 and 18spd provide the grunt and the sleeper has been completely re-designed as an RV style wraparound perfect for truck show hangs. Both the truck’s interior and exterior exemplify class being fully customized. I was thankful to be allowed to film the truck’s first show and interview. If you’re like me, we can definitely appreciate the skill and dedication it takes to make a machine this gorgeous. Huge thank you to Dustin and the Aladdin team for their time and sharing the details of Darcy’s build. Filmed on location at Wheel Jam Truck Show in Huron, South Dakota USA 2024.
