Dalton Gebhardt’s 359 Full Tour & Interview

I was honored and excited to finally get Dalton Gebhardt and his Peterbilt 359 on the channel and tour the machine he & his dad built together! He works this truck every day and is constantly improving & changing it more and more into a physical representation of his personality.
The truck belonged to Dalton’s dad for years, and with the help of friends and family members, they stretched the frame with a cut-off low air leaf suspension, and did the big-hole conversion to the sleeper. Dad happens to own an upholstery business, so Dalton gets a custom-stitched interior when he later buys the rig from his father.
The entire truck; inside, outside, and underneath, have gotten the Gebhardt treatment with the motto “Built not bought”. You see, in the soul of a true hot rodder lies the mentality that something is cool if it’s not available to the public in a catalog or website. If something is repurposed, fabricated, customized, or altered, then it’s a one-off piece of functional art. (The best kind of art.)
The world needs more young men like Dalton that carry on a family legacy behind the wheel. They preserve the traditions that a trucker & hot rodder lifestyle carry with them, and calling these guys my friends is a massive honor.

Awesome video. I listened to him talking about his daddy and how he had it going on and just knew he was an old timer. Then I hear he was born in 78. He’s 13 years younger than me!! Sounds like a great hard working family living the American dream. Beautiful story. I hope they are doing and continue to do well

[@Semijunkie]

I’ve probably said this before but man your video editing and taste for catching some of the coolest rides are by far the best that I’ve ever seen. This should be your full time job! Seriously nice work dude! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@kowboy.kez359]

Ever since he posted the Moon pedals I’ve loved them, once I get my lil winda it’s getting the moon pedals, just think it’s better than the same billet ones everyone else runs

[@jsatre5504]

Hey Philip you should do a walk around interview with Jeremy Gouge's new orange KW A model build.

[@MrYahoo74]

Nice interview flannel !

[@plowboygill3025]

Always love your channel. I just wish I could do the same for the big truck shows here in Texas.

[@theitalianbubble]

Awesome truck! Curious though, what are the white dots on the dash?

[@waynesworld2086]

I've never understood the meaning of the bandanna around the steer column and gear shifter

[@ScottArmas107]

Did he have a brakesaver? Or was the extra trolly valve lower on the column for something else.

[@ScottArmas107]

Great video btw.

[@alleycat9369]

@@ScottArmas107 Probably for the horn.

[@estuardourizar7388]

Does he have any social media Platforms ? To see his work and progress on the truck

[@mattwesley4435]
