Although the lifted trucks seemed to tower over the show grounds, there was still a very large presence of “minitrucks” and customs. These consist of the bagged, the body dropped, the shaved, the suicided, the graphics covered and the earth scraping (my kind of ride). At any given area, you could go from seeing a twin-turbo’d LS-powered Tahoe, to a crew cab F250 Super Duty making ants duck, to a stretched frame big rig inspired ’46 Chevrolet truck, to a sinister mid 60’s Continental, to a patina’d 50’s F100 sporting a brand new drivetrain. Well, you get my point. If you want variety, this is the show! At the end of the weekend, Pascal Barone took home the “Best of Show” award, with his 2000 Ford Ranger, dubbed the “Stranger”. This truck was built by the Little Shop of Horrors (now Little Shop MFG), and could be best described as a truck built to Ridler quality. No detail over looked, flawlessly executed, and built to a hot rod quality. Since the show, Pascal has posted several pictures of what he’s called his “Trophy Wife” in various location and scenarios. As the guy who designed and manufactured the award, it means a great deal to me seeing someone who genuinely is excited to have won it, and appreciate the work that went into it, much like his truck.
