NOT TOO CRAZY BUT PLENTY COOL
The Latest Project from Truck Builder Clint Moore

Clint Moore’s latest creation was built for Pat & Joe Bandy of P & J Enterprises in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Pat & Joe are a husband and wife team that have been with the same company for almost 20 years, and two of Clint’s favorite customers. They also run a small fleet of ten company trucks that are leased out to various companies. Back when they met, Pat was a terminal manager and Joe was a driver. Joe bugged Pat relentlessly until she finally agreed to go out with him. The two have been together ever since. The couple decided that they wanted to buy a new 379 with a 70-inch high roof sleeper before Peterbilt changed them so they called their buddy Clint. They both said that they were tired of shifting, so Clint ordered their rig with an autoshift transmission. To get the front end down, the truck was ordered with a car hauler front axle, along with extra fuel capacity so that when they find diesel at a good price, they can stock up. After the bright red truck arrived, Clint and his crew added a generator, a whale tail (to hide their Qualcomm system), a GPS unit, LED breather lights and Pete 379X model grille bars. This truck, unlike many of Clint’s more extreme creations, is pretty simple. Truth is, the majority of trucks that Clint orders and/or builds for his customers are not wild-looking show trucks. But that doesn’t make them any less of a truck - especially to their new owners. If you see Pat & Joe out on the road, give ‘em a shout. They are two of the friendliest folks you’ll ever meet.
