The Silverback crew bumped into Jon Kelly and his team at the recent Casino Truck Show. Their line-up of massive trucks was super impressive, attracting a crowd of truck drivers, owners, and fans from all over.

During our chat, Jon gave us detailed insight into the 379 Peterbilt and T659 Kenworth trucks. He also shared what makes these trucks unique and described the hard work required to complete the set-up just in time for the event.

The Silverback team lives and breathes everything related to trucks, so it was interesting for our team to catch a glimpse of the Aussie Truck Rehab television series. Seeing our Silverback gear prominently shown on national TV reinforces our reputation as the top choice among truck enthusiasts.

The rise of Silverback Tri-Ribbed Fenders

Every year, new trends roll in, but some styles just have that timeless vibe. Take the Silverback Tri-Ribbed Fenders, for instance. They’re catching more and more eyes as classic vintage style makes a big comeback in the trucking world.

The blue Kenworth T659 pictured above was custom-crafted by the Heavy Haulage Asset team (HHA). It’s not just a pretty face for shows – this legend is a fully functional work truck that’s ready to hit the road! Decked out with a 7” Chrome Stack in straight cut style, complemented with Silverback Ribbed Fenders.

Another impressive addition to HHA’s portfolio is Daniel Booby’s 2002 model 379 Peterbilt (pictured below). This custom-built powerhouse features 8” Silverback Monster Stacks, standing at 4.2 metres tall, with 1.6mm thick Smooth Fenders, showcasing its formidable presence.

Jon Kelly says most of their working and show trucks are equipped with 7” and 8” Silverback Chrome stacks in Monster Set Up, creating a sleek, continuous look that enhances the rigs’ appearance while preventing stack discolouration. 

The Silverback Fenders were the preferred choice, featured in the 379 Peterbilt and T659 Kenworth rigs.

As Jon noted, “Silverback Guards are significantly thicker, made of quality stainless steel with two high-end material options, and are durable enough to stand the test of time.”
