some real nice ones in your sets, the turn signals and iron cross truck is a little weird to me, but to each their own, mild to wild at the show from the looks of it

yea wish I coulda went. just finished a buddies truck paintjob on his f350 so he could make this show, but couldnt go with, too many other things to do. at least i didnt have to deal with the weather, but woulda been nice to be there and see what everyone thought about the paintjob if nothing else. im hoping someone will post all the pics from the show so i can see, not just the chevys and gmcs, ya know, just to feel like i was there and didnt miss anything.... that would make me the lazy car guy tho lol

Man, it's been so long since I've been to Heatwave. The last time I went was when it was at the Dell Diamond and the DPS set up shop outside the gates busting everyone with equipment violations as they rolled in. Luckily, I was only a spectator that year or I would have been hit too.

Well, wish i could help you, but i only took pics of GMs. I went through two fully charged camera batterys and almost killed a cell phone, just getting GMs. There was way too many to get everything.... I'll post a few more later. Maybe his f350 will be in the background.

ehhh...You're too selective. I could end up with 500-600 pics from a show like that.

Thanks for the pics man -- that's a lot of obs trucks.

Not that anybody should care what I think, but...

My favorites
1. The blue and white hotrod-style truck is cool to me.
2. OD green
3. I still love the full phantom gmc front end -- and it looks killer powdercoated all black (first truck, post 4)
4. (fourth pic, post 9) That truck is tucking some gigantic wheels.

My not-so-favorites (aka the "to each his own" file)
1. Lambo doors (as always)
2. homemade convertibles
3. faded headlights on a show truck (gee, if only somebody repopped these headlights)
4. and of course, the Mad-Max, double-stack, Maltese cross...thing...although, when I look again, he apparently got a pretty girl to ride in it with him, so maybe I shouldn't be too quick to judge.

Yeah, I drove my '00 S-10 from SoCal to Heat Wave that year. It was quite a sight, DPS had a bunch of trucks pulled over out in front on the highway. I'd never seen anything quite like it. DPS left muy pronto when someone called the local TV news.

The Rodney King effect I'd guess one could call it.

A guy I know drove down from here (about a 4.5 hour drive) just to spectate. The DPS got him and slapped him with 6 tickets for equipment violations. He got all mad and just turned around and drove back home. Yeah, you just got slapped with a stack of tickets, but you're already there, so you might as well check out the show and make the best of it.

Texas Heatwave is always a HUGE show. The years I attended had several hundred trucks to look at.

We(wife and i) was just spectators, so i dont really have many details. I took around 250 pics of just GM trucks and there were alot that looked stock that i didn't take pics of. If i had to guess, over 700 cars and trucks while we were there. When we left more were still comming in. It was a 2 day show. We just went saturday.
