Son of Old School Jerry, Joe Delagardelle gives us a tour of his tough-as-nails home built rat rod daily driver.
Joe is definitely a do it yourself kinda guy, never afraid to roll up his sleeves & figure out a solution. No doubt his dad taught him that. Both men know their trucks inside & out intimately. “There isn’t a bolt I haven’t turned on this thing.”
In 1984, Peterbilt never would have imagined that someone would turn a 359 into a piece of functional art like Joe’s rat rod, but undoubtedly that’s what he did. Altering wheelbase (three times!) with International Prostar suspension, repowering the truck with a Cummins N14, shortening the sleeper to 36”, building his very own bumper, grille, visor, and so many other custom touches that make this heavy hauler unique!
Because Joe hauls scrap iron in Iowa, he added a tag axle & pulls a specialized steel trailer to meet bridging regulations. The results are a rig that not only looks mean & nasty, it can be loaded like a freight train.
I want to thank Joe and his wife Steph for sharing old photos & videos to help tell this truck’s story, I couldn’t do this without the help of awesome folks like the Delagardelle family.
