Pickup Lines

Making More Noise Than A Groupie At A KISS Concert

Team Effort

Building a custom truck is no easy task, especially when you are doing it on a tight deadline. Long before the doors to the Las Vegas Convention Center open in early November for the annual SEMA show, enthusiasts stay busy chiseling away on that unique custom truck project to debut at the show. No matter how much you plan ahead and how far you work in advance, it always seems to come down to those last few days, and sometimes last few hours, of grueling detail to finish before you can load the trailer and head for the desert—usually without any sleep. The experience of prepping for SEMA seems to build a whole new set of late night thrash memories every year, but it’s all worth it when you roll a vehicle that you and your buddies created onto the convention center grounds and stand back to watch people admire it.

Pickup Lines: June 2006

This month's edition of Pickup Lines goes out to the guy who lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps custom trucks and every time he heads to the garage to work on his ride has to deal with the tight confines of a one-car unit in an apartment complex.

Pickup Lines: September 2008

If you read the title of this month's column and instantly got a mental picture of people in cowboy hats and tight jeans shuffling around the floor of the local watering hole, don't panic, we are still talking about trucks here. While attending Texas Showdown in Houston this year one particular body style of truck stood out like chrome 22s on a Buick, and was in such abundance that I actually walked the show a few times and counted each and every one of them.
