'Stupid Money': 1972 Peterbilt 359 sports 42-inch vintage Double Eagle sleeper

Andrew Pagels' 1972 Peterbilt 359 wasn't originally meant to be a show truck. But, after purchasing a 42" Double Eagle Sleeper and steadily making other modifications, it was finally ready to go to Louisville, Kentucky, and be a part of the big 2024 Mid-America Trucking Show. Named "Stupid Money" because of how expensive it was to build, this '72 359 is a truck that Pagels always wanted. After putting 2 years of work into it, Pagels won 3rd in the Limited Mileage, Bobtail w/ Miles category at the 2024 PKY Truck Beauty Championship at MATS.
