'Real deal' working 2005 379: The 'Purple Storm' custom rig

This so-called "Purple Storm" 2005 379 Peterbilt is the working rig of owner BryanLee Wagner. This is the last time the truck was seen before Wagner sold it, appropriately enough against the backdrop of the very real storm of Hurricane Ian as it bore down on Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and the 2022 Mayberry Truck Show.

Typically, the truck hauled cattle, yet Wagner had at the time we caught up with him ventured into heavy haul, reefer and more. Most everything front to back on the 379 is custom. Some of the most notable parts are the custom grille and breathers, which feature engraved cattle heads. Wagner also did a "smooth frame stretch" on the truck, making it longer with "no bolts showing." Throughout the truck are Dual Revolution lights, which can change from red to amber and purple. The interior of the truck is mostly stock, but does feature Bostrom seats and painted gauge panels on the dash, among other touches.

Overall, Wagner has put about 2 years' worth of work into this truck.
