10-4 Magazine / October 2025 29 Here’s a 1981 Peterbilt model 359 short hood with a 60” flattop sleeper that was owned by Steve and Rita Fett of Wesley, IA. The truck was named “Starrunner” and was powered by a 3406A CAT, a 10-speed transmission, 4.11 rears, and rode on a 240” wheelbase. The head-turning truck, covered in murals, was painted by Steve’s painter, who went by the name Vilio. “Starrunner” won Best of Show and People’s Choice at the 1987 Great American Truck Classic in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Steve sold the truck about eight years ago. OUT OF THE ARCHIVES Bette Garber
