Our Truck Trio is going to be in the news !!!
A writer/photographer for the local paper stopped by tonight to take pictures and interview me about our trucks. He's going to do a short article and photo layout to promote our local car club, and our upcoming car show during our annual local event "Sweet Corn Days". While they were lined up I thought it would be a good time to snap some pics.

Re: Our Truck Trio is going to be in the news !!!
Thats kind of funny that you have "Sweet Corn Days." Our big local event is the "Sweet Corn and Watermelon Festival." It is held every year in August. We've got a cruise night to kick it off and then a car show to end it. Don't ya just love the midwest and all of our small town fruit and vegetable festivals?
![]() And yes, I love your trucks. Very awesome looking.

Re: Our Truck Trio is going to be in the news !!!
thats awesome man, must feel pretty good to sit and see and read about you and your trucks in the newspaper but one thing i couldnt help but notice is that the caption for the engine pic they say is the 70s engine but yet the firewall in the pic is orange and the 70 is green

Re: Our Truck Trio is going to be in the news !!!
yeah, that red lwb just about convinced me not to shave the trim on my own truck, it looks great. Could we get some more details on that one? Maybe it has a build thread
