'Showoff': Greg Graham's high-powered 1979 Peterbilt 359 pull truck
New York-based Greg Graham runs a small fleet hauling agricultural products in the area, but in his spare time, he competes in truck pull competitions with a pair of trucks, including this immaculate 1979 Peterbilt 359 that he had on display at the 2025 Mid-America Trucking Show.
Powered by a 3406E Cat that’s tuned up to put about 1,250 horsepower to the rear wheels, the truck is more than just a custom pull truck — it’s also a rolling tribute to Betsy Romero, Graham’s daughter’s late mother who passed away from cancer in 2012.
The back of the cab features a touching message to Romero, which was painted on with LumiLor, which can light up at night.
In this video, see plenty views of the truck and hear about the recent build process.
