And the owner called this custom semi truck with its luxury motorhome-style interior “The Gambler.” The owner of this custom rig came up with the idea for the name after watching the guy he works for have a good time in the casinos.
Have you ever seen headlights buried in the fender so they pop out, even in the custom big rigs scene? That’s what this truck has (like an 80s sports car). It’s also signed (the hood) by the fellow who wrote the hit song “The Gamber,” Kenny Loggins, after a concert, although getting Loggins to agree to sign the custom Peterbilt apparently took a bit of emailing. The panel paint also has images of the Gambler movie, with train robbers riding beside a locomotive, and on the other side the river boat from the movie Maverick.
It’s a 2007 Peterbilt 379 Legacy belonging to owner-operator Doug Fisher.
The custom luxury interior of this working truck has some pretty incredible features as well: The interior floor has a solid piece of aluminum painted like a roulette wheel, swinging doors leading to the big studio sleeper unit. We found a few photos of these (the dash, floor, kitchen area, and swinging doors — photo below), but if you have better ones, we’d appreciate them).
Apparently this custom truck was up in Winnipeg, Manitoba for a while. Maybe not for long, though. There’s enough interest in this rig that even though there’s less space available for load (and a bit more weight taken up by that big custom sleeper unit on it), it would probably be not that difficult to find other buyers — I’ve heard people already saying they want to by this Peterbilt. It was also spotted recently in Virginia, so it must be working down south now.
