CUSTOM RIGS 50 | Overdrive | November 2016 B ob Harley's needle-nose 1972 Peterbilt 358A pounded the asphalt for 20 years as part of his RD Excavating and Trucking, a 17-truck fleet Harley's helmed for 30 years. A few years ago, following a steer tire blowout that tore up the truck's front end, Harley retired the rig as a work truck. He sent it to 4 States Trucks in Joplin, Mo., for years of rebuilding it as an antique show truck. Harley says naming the rig "Bad Attitude" represents his low tolerance for laziness and self- awareness of his own moodiness. When his young stepson saw the rig, he said "It looks mad," further solidifying the moniker.
