a 213-inch wheelbase, custom inte-

Keeping it
old school
Chris Bailey owns this 2011
Peterbilt 389 leased to O&I
Transport of Dearborn, Mich.
Eugene Brown uses it and
the 1996 Reitnouer trailer
to haul steel coils from
steel mills in northwest
Indiana throughout Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio. The truck
is powered by a 550-hp
Cummins and an 18-speed
Eaton Fuller. The only extras
on the truck are a few lights
"to keep the old-school
look," Brown says.
