One that I liked from the truck drags last weekend.

Charbie's trucks are very sweet. George Van Dyke has some nice ones, and Dusty Belcher from down in Mossyrock used to have one of the most bad *** mafia looking lowrider Petes I'd ever seen. Not sure if it's around anymore or not.

Not to mention some of our local loggers and their rolling chrome shops.

I parked next to one of Olsen's red Petes at the Nisqually scales....it was the DSU booth truck from the show with the coffin sleeper. Anyways, the rumors are true....it has little chrome nut caps on the oil pan bolts. Seriously....

Cool...small world around here. I haven't seen the particular one I'm thinking of since about '99 or so.....could be the same truck that just has had a face lift, though.

I live in TX so I shut down and go to GATS (Great American Truck Show) Dallas TX. I've been to Wildwood FL, really a nice place, would love to be there for a show. Another fun one I've been to twice is the Show & Shine @ Billy Bobs in Ft Worth. My Freightshaker looks nice all cleaned & shined, but makes more money at 70 mph killing bugs at an alarming rate. drag around company trailers, so have to leave them somewhere else if I want the truck to look good.
2005 Freighliner Classic XL 500hp CAT accert (peaked & tweaked) super 13 Eaton trans, I may not be quick, but dont try to match my top speed. I've had it @ 125, and there was still more there, but the windshields were shaking, so I slowed 'er down.

Wow! Those rigs are really awesome! My friend told me that the truck in that show are using on heavy hauling jobs or they're most used by trucking company. I wish I could saw these pretty truck personally.
