Wow, this thread bring back so many memories. I got started in the mid-90's going to Nats in Pigeon Forge. I see a lot of rides in this thread that i remember seeing at the shows there. I also saw a minitrux.com pic. that in itself is amazing to me. I was one of the photographers for them in the late 90's before the original owners sold the site to its current owners. I am trying to contact the former owners to see if any of the old pics were archived and if so if i can get them.
Some of the trucks i would like to know status on:
Work Truck: The purple ex cab mazda that came out of West Virginia.
Fusion: The yellow Nissan with the 8 bass cannons in the bed, and the hydraulically actuated snug top.
There was an S-10 that showed up there at minis not long after being featured in MT, oragne base color, with graphics that had some leapord print in the it. I remember the guy had his hair dyed in leapord print too.
There was also a blue S-10 that used to frequent the minis, ex. cab, long bed with a snug that had windows down the side. It had some airbrush work on the hood with some tribal and it had fish in it. The truck i believe was built in Ohio originally. It sold to a guy in VA near where im from who when i met him was claiming he built it, found out a few years later, he had bought it that way. I saw it about 4 or 5 years ago, and it was still in pristine condition.
Would love to know the status on these as well:
This one was a staple at the minis. Used to be green paint with purple frame on wires, then switched to purple paint with green frame and supremes.
