This beautiful photographic spread in the October issue of Overdrive escaped the offices here with a distinct blemish in its very first line — subscribers, folks picking it up in truck stops around the nation have no doubt noted the error, corrected in the pictured version above. There is, of course, no “1974 Peterbilt 379” in the picture or anywhere in the world, really. We meant “1994,” it’s true, and this banana yellow rig is indeed of that mid-90s vintage.
Now, an Illinois hauler is the proud owner of Ripe & Ready.
Big congrats to him, eh? Following a few extra outtakes-type pics from the photo shoot with King’s former rig, beginning with a portrait of King with his granddaughter, Brynna, to whom the truck was partly dedicated. Enjoy.
