Power of pink Glenn Gilbert of Morrow, Ohio, owns "Pant her Pink," a 1996 Kenworth W900L with such a unique color that he received a call from the factory to make sure the order wasn't a mistake. The truck is powered by a 550-hp Cat 3406E and an 18-speed Eaton Fuller. The wheelbase was stretched from 270 inches to 315 inches to mount a Tripac APU behind the sleeper on top of the frame, keeping it away from road grime.

The extended-hood truck is powered by a 565-hp Cummins ISX with a custom ECM program and a 10-speed with 3:36 rears. Watkins installed eight-inch Dynaflex exhaust stacks, Talladega fiberglass front fenders and a sun visor. He plans to stretch the wheelbase to 310 inches and add Talladega rear fenders.
