Scott Carder, owner of Carder Trucking out of Delphos, Ohio, may have had the most unique Peterbilt build at the 2023 Mayberry Truck Show in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.
The difference in Carder's build from the others? It floats. He took the cab of a Peterbilt 379 and built a 22-foot tritoon pontoon boat out of it.

Carder finished the build in the Spring of 2023 and said he got it out on the water several times during the year.
"At the end of the day, I didn't know for sure what I was going to end up with," he said. "I thought, 'Well, I'll build it, and it's either going to sink or float,' and it floats very nicely."
Carder built a custom dash in the style of a Peterbilt 379 for his boat.
