Do you have a "Truck" theme?
 
As I have gone to various car and truck shows it seems that many have some sort of theme. With that in mind I thought I would ask if you have one for your truck?
I was raised on a farm and one thing I remember is seeing many trucks filled with feed sacks. With this in mind I have been collecting feed sacks with various scenes of yesteryear with the following scenes: animals such as a Grissle bear, wolf, golpher, badger, geese, plus various farm animals. I also have feedsacks with Indians and farm life with scenes of the late 1800's through the early 1900's. I thought the children would get a kick out of the pictures while the old timers (folks like me) will have flash backs of their younger years.
I will fill the sacks with packing peanuts to give them the "filled" look to them.
Ok...what is truck your theme?

Generally vintage coolers for my '69. :D

Although, I'm looking for that "next" eye catching item... I love the feed sack idea.

I'll try and post pics later on.

Hey HEAVY METAL...got any pics. Yours does sound different which is what themes are all about.

72BlckButy ... I thought of the pop coolers. I like seeing the old coolers as it does bring back memories..

I have seen vintage bikes (bicycles and motorcycles) in the beds of trucks, as well as the occassional gas can, and lawn maintenance equipment.

The last truck I built was a harley davison themed truck. I bought it from a estate and the PO was a big time HD lover.

My next truck and the last one maybe will be like a SO-Cal look if I dont change my mind and I got plenty of time to change my mind but I like the red and black with a touch of white!

I saw second chance at the gold rush carshow a few months back it has the WWII fighter plane theme going on. You can find its build thread if you look for it on here.
