Lets see all out show trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

7d1truckguy · 01-12-2014, 04:59 PM

I would like to see an all out show truck 60 thru 72 that are show trucks that get driven on the road and not trailered

scotts72heavyhalf · 01-12-2014, 07:05 PM

Rain or shine it gets driven it to the store, to all the shows we go to, getting my son from lacrosse practice and picking him and his brother up from school.

mixermike · 01-12-2014, 08:09 PM

I don't usually drive it in the rain but I have been caught in it( don't have wipers) last year we drove it to Montana to visit relatives and to attend a weekend car show. I have the rock chips to prove it

**SactoJim** · 01-12-2014, 08:15 PM

Drive the heck out of mine.....in fact I broke it beating on it! (3 piston rings)....almost back together for some more abuse!

chevjayfsd · 01-12-2014, 08:40 PM

No rain, but I drive it to work at least once a week, plus it's my driver on the weekend.

mixermike · 01-12-2014, 08:53 PM

That is SWEEEEEEEEEET,,,,,,I really like that red

Sicklajoie · 01-12-2014, 10:24 PM

I wouldn't call mine a show truck, but I try to keep it nice while I drive it about 4,000 miles a year from April to October. Average about 80 car shows and cruise nights a year and have managed to pick up over 40 trophies the past 3 years.

butternut1972 · 01-12-2014, 11:33 PM

Nice trucks fellas.....here's mine,I don't drive it in the rain, but it is driven...no trailers. When it was completed this year, it had about 10 shakedown miles then I hit the highway to Puyallup Goodguys. Ran perfect.

K10 STEPSIDE · 01-12-2014, 11:46 PM

She looks good enough to win them and I make it to a few shows, but she's no trailer queen. The only trailers she sees are ones she pulls or the one I used when the engine blew. Even if I don't have the heart to use the bed, I still use the truck. As far as beatings she is getting a newer motor after last year, so you could say I wasn't to nice to it.

Andy4639 · 01-13-2014, 08:05 AM

Mine is driven almost daily + I took it on the 2013 Power Tour. I put 3200 miles on it in 8 days. On June 8th I will be on the 2014 Power tour again in it with new 6.0 LSx motor and 4l80e transmission. I wouldn't call it a all out show truck by any means but I do keep it clean and waxed best I can.

Stunning.
Love your stepside.

Low Elco · 01-13-2014, 09:09 AM

Some bad to the bone trucks on here- this thread delivers! (Butternut for the win!)

Not an all-out "show truck" but we have a couple trophies- and it hauls a bass boat, too!

Bennett68C10 · 01-13-2014, 09:15 AM

Beautiful trucks guys, hopefully mine will be picture worthy for this thread by next year

aboesec10 · 01-13-2014, 09:44 AM

Not a show truck in my eyes but to some maybe. Doesn't see rain but I drive every damn chance I get.

Thank You Sir...that means alot to me!

There are some really good looking trucks in this thread....I'm really looking forward to seeing more.

'Rose' tends to get a lot of attention when I show her (Best of Show first time out), never been on a trailer and no, I don't drive her in the rain either.

Mr Chevorlet · 01-13-2014, 01:42 PM

All i can say is WOW, nice trucks being shown here.

69moneypit · 01-13-2014, 04:34 PM

I did a full frame off on mine . I've driven a couple thousand miles in two years . I drove to cruising the coast 6 hundred miles . Only time I've ever left outside overnight was cruise the coast . No driving in rain . Only time she gets trailered is when kids want to attend show and I'm the only adult . Can fit 4 kids on the front seat . Not a show vehicle but a nice attention getter . Does a great job putting black marks on pavement !!! I think I'll drive more after power steering and brakes are added .
