VIDEO: Trucker hunts down his grandfather’s 1972 Peterbilt after 30 years

A touching video report explores how a Texas truck driver was able to finally locate a truck with a lot of sentimental value with help from Facebook.

The video was shared earlier this month by KARE 11. It documents Darrell Caldwell Jr.’s search for his grandfather’s 1972 Peterbilt semi truck, last seen in Houston in the early 1990s. A chance Facebook post read by the right person eventually led Caldwell to an emotion reunion with the Peterbilt. Caldwell even got to go inside the cab and listen as the decades-old truck fired up.
