BUILDING T
August 1-3, 2014 • Carlisle, PA
Dear Disney,
If your Imagineers wish to fill roles for your film
“Trucks,” we invite you to hold your casting call at
the Country’s County Fair for Trucks, the Carlisle
Truck Nationals held in America’s Automotive
Hometown, Carlisle, PA. We are confident the
enthusiasts here can fill your roles from the event’s
showfields, displays and gatherings.
Your casting manager will find Custom Semi’s and more in our Big
Rig Show and Shine. Look for an NCAA Collegiate player as well a heavy
weight in Red and checking in at over 90 feet! You’ll be surrounded by
wreckers, car carriers and the retired trucks from the American Truck
Historical Society. You are going to need Vans, 4x4s, Jeeps, SUVs, Classics,
Imports, Fire Trucks and Mini Trucks for supporting roles and extras.
Vanarama will be auditioning in the Pavilion. Invitational display trucks
in Building T are ready for starring roles. The showfields will be auditioning rising stars. Perhaps you could backdrop your set with Syclones and
Typhoons? Check out Building Y.
We have costumes. Make your first stop at the LTAA booth, where
you will find the industry’s latest accessories. Check out new shoes from
Mickey Thompson, new feet at More Than Tires, a set of heels at Skyjacker,
or listen to the songs performed by Borla or Magnaflow on the Midway.
Many more accessories are on our Midway and vendor aisles.
Auditioning this weekend, also look for Monster Trucks, live music,
wildlife shows, kids’ activities as well as adrenaline-boosting rides.
Talent, costume, and set … lined up for TRUCKS! We will be eagerly
awaiting the film. Until then, IT’S ALL REAL at the Carlisle Truck
Nationals this weekend. We hope you have Real Fun!

Monster Truck Shows & Rides
Experience a car-crushing ride in the Virginia Giant ride truck. See
schedule for hours. It’s located behind the Red 102.3 Stage and there is a
small fee to ride.
For the first time ever, you can see a female Monster Truck driver
in action at Carlisle. Join Chrissy Moler as she powers the XXX – State
of Destruction truck. Chrissy is a farmer, mom of three and calls West
Virginia home. She has been driving monster trucks since 2011 at the
urging of her husband when there were no other options for a driver. After
what was supposed to be a one-time deal, she’s still driving and having fun
each and every time. We are pleased to welcome back Diehl Wilson and his
Virginia Giant. With 1500 horsepower, this Hemi-powered monster will
provide a terrific show.
Driven by Wilson, the Virginia Giant has been powered by him on
the Monster Jam® tour for years, making it to about forty events annually.
However, Wilson began his motorsports career much earlier, racing sport
trucks and competing in truck pulls before building his Monster Jam
truck. Over his 21-year Monster Jam career, Diehl has earned two Thunder
National championships, a series of Monster Jam Banquet awards, and the
respect and admiration of the fans. Over the years, Virginia Giant has had
many paint jobs, currently sporting a distinctive yellow, blue, and purple
scheme on its 2006 Ford body. The one highlight that has stayed around
for many years are the crazy eyes painted on the doors.
Mini Monster Truck
All new, catch 11 year-old Katelyn Moler as she drives her mini monster
truck, Pandora. It is equipped just like it’s bigger, more monstrous
brethren. Under the hood, it is powered by a
Honda 4-cycle VTech engine and it has rear
steering, just like the big trucks. Moler is in
5th grade and this is her second year driving.
She also likes to ride dirt bikes, hunt, fish and
loves animals.

American Truck Historical Society
The not-for-profit American Truck Historical Society was formed in
1971 to preserve the history of trucks, the trucking industry, and its
pioneers. The American Trucking Association officially recognizes
the ATHS as the “duly authorized organization founded to record and
develop trucking industry historical data.” Today, the ATHS has more
than 21,000 members, with 110 of them being part of the Susquehanna
Valley Chapter chartered in 1992. Members of the Susquehanna Valley
Chapter agree on one thing — old trucks are fun! This chapter hosts a
truck show at the Kenworth of Pennsylvania dealership in Carlisle every
August and a Tri-State show in Winchester, VA, every September. They
will be here this weekend showcasing some of their vehicles. We are
pleased to welcome them to Carlisle and hope that you will take the time
to visit their display, ask questions and learn more about the American
Truck Historical Society. Look for their showcase around the Pavilion in
the big rig area this weekend.
Elizabeth Truck Center
Elizabeth Truck Center and its sister company Car Craft Truck Works,
combined, simply known as ETC, continue to raise the bar and set new
standards in the trucking industry. Popular trucks include “The Beast,”
which revolutionized the way the industry looks at custom trucks. Since
then ETC has gone on to further impress with a makeover of a classic
1980 A-Model Kenworth, aptly named “Bride of the Beast,” an over the
top urban assault vehicle, G-UNIT, transformed from a showroom-new
2006 Peterbilt 379, the restoration and finely detailed rebuild of a vintage
1966 Peterbilt. “The Punisher” is one of the most incredible Kenworths
on the road and an outrageous, off the hook, custom International ProStar,
“Mayhem,” and let’s not forget “The Predator,” imitated, but never duplicated. The fun never stops at ETC and you can catch them outside the east
end of Building T.
Special thanks to Kenworth of PA and Motor Truck Equipment
Company for their support. Be sure to visit them on Row J.
Pride of the Panthers
For the first time ever at Carlisle,
you can see a sports team
equipment hauler. Be sure to stop
by and take a look at the rig that
gets the football gear from game to
game for the Pitt Panthers.
This weekend is the last free
weekend for the football team
at the University of Pittsburgh.
Starting Monday, camp opens
for the Panthers in front of
their August 30th game against
Delaware. One week later,
September 5th, the Panthers hauler
will make its way northeast to
Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts for a
game against Boston College.
The truck itself is operated
by PGT Trucking from Monaca,
Pennsylvania and is a true gem.
PGT has been in business since
1981 and has been the official
hauler of the Pittsburgh Panthers
since 2007.
Scott Monit of PGT Trucking
is very happy to have his truck
showcased this weekend and to
meet you too.
“PGT Trucking is excited to
participate in the Carlisle Truck
Nationals,” said Monit, Director
of Community Relations. “This
is a huge event for the trucking
industry and people interested in
trucking.”
EQUIPMENT HAULER OF THE PITTSBURGH PANTHERS
ON DISPLAY IN THE BIG RIG SHOWFIELD
2011 INTERNATIONAL LONESTAR, PGT TRUCKING
Traveling thousands of miles
during the regular season and a
few thousand more for a late year
bowl game, the truck can hold all
the team’s equipment. From pads
to helmets, cleats to apparel, if the
team may need it for a road game, it
goes in the truck.
“Our football equipment
truck is a tremendous Pittsburgh
showpiece on wheels,” said E.J.
Borghetti, University of Pittsburgh
Senior Associate Athletic Director.
“The truck is visually striking and a
very effective promotional tool for
both the Pitt football brand and our
new ACC affiliation.”
Monit added, “We have been
moving Pitt’s football equipment
for seven years. Our CEO, Pat
Gallagher, is a big fan of Pitt and
we are happy to be able to assist
the school in this endeavor. This
truck also has special meaning for
PGT. It was the truck of one of our
first drivers, Richie Powers, who
passed away unexpectedly last year.
Mr. Gallagher did not want anyone
else to use this truck at PGT so
we earmarked it to move the Pitt
football equipment in honor of
Richie.”
So when you get a minute this
weekend and are walking through
the Big Rig area, be sure to stop
and snap a photo of the hauler. If
you’re active on social media, don’t
be afraid to tag it using the hash tag
#GoPittFootball.
THE RED GIANT WILL BE ON DISPLAY IN THE BIG RIG SHOWFIELD
Big Rig Glow Show
Don’t go home if you haven’t
seen what these rigs can do with
lights and chrome. This is what
the Carlisle staff sticks around for
late on Saturday night. We will be
picking the coolest lit-up rig on the
grounds.
Don’t miss taking a look at The Red Giant, a hauler that is 93 feet long
with a wheel base of 430 inches! Built in 1990, this one-of-a-kind truck
makes the average hauler look small in comparison. Owned and operated
by Bryan and Denise Dax, this truck came about when they were looking
for ways to earn some extra revenue. They’ve fit the rig with massive LED
screens on each side behind the cab and run video ads on them as part of
REO Mobile Media. Inside the truck, you’d think you were in an RV. There
are wood floors, a bathroom, pull-down bed, fridge, stove, microwave,
dining table and more.

STEVE DAVIS AND HIS CHEVY LUV TRUCKS —
ON DISPLAY IN BUILDING T
GUEST PROFILE: STEVE DAVIS
For the Love of LUV
By Mike Garland
R
emember the Chevrolet
LUV? It’s a pickup truck
first marketed in 1972.
Each generation of the LUV has
been based on the Japanese Isuzu
design. Production ended in
1981 with the release of the 1982
Chevrolet S-10. The name LUV
doesn’t come from the emotion
these truck owners have, but it’s
actually an acronym for light
utility vehicle.
Why all this love for the LUV?
Because the LUV display this year
is being backed by a passionate
enthusiast known as Steve Davis.
Steve is 54 and lives in Oakland,
Maryland. Having grown up in a
rural part of West Virginia, Steve
noted that he was lucky if he had
two pennies to rub together as a kid
and that is one of the reasons he
loves the LUV.
“As a kid, money was tough to
come by, but when I could finally
afford a car, I was able to get a LUV
and I’ve never looked back.”
Steve was born in the ‘60s and
was raised during the ‘70s...so as
you can imagine, there were many
influential things going on all
around him.
One of the other great things
that Steve got into when he was
young was auto body work. In fact,
his talents are such that he’s been
doing it since he was 15 and now
operates a couple of multi-bay
shops. He even has a sizeable shop
at home too. He’s been at it for 40
years and runs Nu-Finish Collision
Center!
“The auto body business has
been very good to me,” noted Steve.
You’d think a man that repairs
cars and trucks for a living would
have acquired many of his LUVs
in poor condition, only to repair
them. While he has worked on a
few, Steve admits that he tries to get
trucks that have low mileage and
that are in original condition.
“I own 28 LUV trucks,” bragged
Steve. “One has been given a full
body-off restoration and has been
the gem of my collection since we
completed it. It has maybe been
driven 10 miles in the last 10 years.”
That said, Steve does get some
of his collection out and about.
He has 75 trucks overall (47
non-LUVs) and should be showing
at least three of his LUV group this
weekend.
For a man that loves trucks as
he does, you’d think showing off his
love of the LUV at Carlisle would
be a regular thing. You’d be wrong!
Steve said that while he has been
coming to Carlisle for 25 years to
shop for ’67-’72 truck parts, this
is the first time he is showing his
favorite type of truck.
“I love these trucks and am
showcasing them because while
they aren’t an overly popular truck,
they do mean something to men
of a certain age,” continued Steve.
“Guys of my era – when we see
one, we know what it is. It sparks a
conversation and jogs a memory.
We can all relate!”
As showing the trucks go,
Steve really does just like to shop
at Carlisle, adding, “I come to the
shows and I am on a mission. I
am always looking for truck parts
and once, just once, I saw a tailgate
for a LUV. I bought it – I used it.
Last year (2013) was actually the
first time I ever brought anything
TO Carlisle. I sold a pair of C10’s
within the Car Corral at Fall
Carlisle.”
So if you see Steve this
weekend, his lovely LUV won’t
be too far away! Stop him and say
hi and be sure to take a minute to
meet the LUV of his life – his truck.

JAMEY JOHNSON WITH HIS NEWLY-RESTORED 1974 JEEP CJ5 RENEGADE – SEE IT IN BUILDING T
JEEP PROFILE:
In Color – See a Jeep Worth Every Dollar
By Mike Garland
T
here are many rides at
Carlisle this weekend with
cool stories. Some were
simply purchased, upgraded or
modified, while others have been
meticulously overhauled and
restored. In fact, you’ll see many
cases of American craftsmanship
within Building T as part of
our Invitational Display. One
featured ride, however; is unique
for multiple reasons. As you pass
through the display this weekend,
keep an eye out for a 1974 Jeep
CJ5 Renegade. On the surface, it
looks nice – it’s copper metallic
with a black roof, it has been
lifted and sports KC lights on the
bumper. Across the front, as a nod
to its owner’s military background,
there is a sticker promoting the
United States Marine Corps. This
Jeep is an off road machine built
for fishing and camping; but who
exactly built it? Who is its owner?
This special CJ5 is owned by
none other than Grammy Award
nominated singer/songwriter
Jamey Johnson from Montgomery,
Alabama. If that isn’t impressive
enough, it was restored by a young
lady named Michaela Brass. Brass is
known around automotive circles
as Miss Mopar and this rare pairing
of country music superstar and
female car nut from near Philly has
a unique back story; one rooted in
a passion for cars and within the
tragedy of the loss of a loved one –
her mother.
First, the meeting - how exactly
did Brass and Johnson connect?
Moreover, how did they connect
enough that a man who has written
top 10 hits recorded by the likes of
George Strait and Trace Adkins,
plus has a few of his own, come to
trust a young lady who is not yet in
her 30s to revamp his Jeep?
Call it a chance encounter
or divine intervention, but on
October 12, 2012, Brass had dinner
with Johnson and his band after
a concert in Bethlehem, Pennsyl-
vania. They spoke of Michaela’s
restoration project at the time, a
1972 Dodge Charger which would
later make its way to the Carlisle
Chrysler Nationals Female Owners
Invitational in 2013. They also
spoke about her dad’s 1985 Dodge
Ram W350, a truck close in style to
the truck that Johnson drove from
Montgomery to Nashville to start
his career in country music.
With a friendship in place,
the timing of the request could
be considered a sign from above.
Michaela had been awakened by
a text asking if she’d work on the
Jeep. She wasn’t sure if she was
dreaming because it wasn’t the
first time she had dreams about
him; after all, he is a talented singer
and she found herself attached
to a few of his songs. One such
song is called “You Can’t Cash My
Checks.” This is a song that has had
a profound effect on her.
Three short weeks after losing
her mother to an undetected brain
aneurysm, Brass had a dream that
she and her mom were at a Jamey
Johnson concert. As he performed
“Can’t Cash My Checks” (a song
she jokingly played for her mom
prior to her passing because it
described their financial situation)
her mom instructed her to listen
to the words as he belted out, “You
can push me into the water, but
you can’t hold me under.” It was in
those words that she found the will
needed to survive the loss of her
mom. Brass went on to tattoo those
lyrics on her hip.
So…an agreement was made
that this Jeep would become
Michaela’s new project, something
special she could do because of
her mom and their special tie to
Johnson. She welcomed the Jeep to
her shop on July 6, 2013. After that,
the race was on! Over the course
of eleven months, she and her
dad plus her uncle turned a white
dinged up Jeep into this showworthy gem.
“I was hands-on alongside my
dad and uncle for every aspect of
this except for the paint and body
work,” noted Michaela.
Eager to start the project, Brass
began ripping off diamond plate
that someone had used to cover
a less that exceptional attempt at
body work. She dug through caked
on Alabama clay mud to test the
compression and decided to pull
the AMC 360 which powered the
Jeep and overhaul the drivetrain.
The engine was stripped down to
a bare block and bored .30 over.
All of the lights and gauges were
rewired and the Jeep received
aesthetic upfits like a functioning
drop tail gate, body colored dash
accents and custom Renegade
graphics.
Finally, Brass was able to
present The CJ5 to Johnson on
Thursday, June 26 – a day before
he was to play a show in northeast,
Pennsylvania. As you can see from
the photo, he’s a happy Jeep owner
who would no doubt wave at you
“Jeep style” if he passed you on the
road en route to his favorite fishing
hole.
“I had never restored a vehicle
for anyone but myself,” Brass
explained. “I wanted him to love
it as much as I had come to love
this little slice of American-made
goodness during the short time I
had it. To see him smile when he
saw it for the first time; that was
worth every dip that this Jeeppowered-roller-coaster-ride had
taken me on.”
It’d be an understatement to
say she was proud of her work, but
what about the owner? Via a text
message exchange, the man was
still glowing.
“When I sent this Jeep to her, I
didn’t even like it that much,” noted
Johnson. “Now, I am just tickled
to drive it. She did a great job and
I love it, continued Johnson. “I’m
also very happy to have her work
JAMEY JOHNSON’S CJ5 DURING RESTORATION
showcased at the Carlisle Truck
Nationals. She’s told me about this
show before and it’s great to see her
efforts rewarded.”
Like so many other stories
that revolve around “car people,”
Michaela does just what Bill and
Chip Miller did. She found work
doing something she is passionate
about. As Bill Miller frequently says
during speeches and meetings, “I
make a living doing what I love. My
hobby is my job and I don’t feel like
I’ve worked a day in my life.”
Michaela could say the same
thing. Though she does work a day
job as an internet sales manager at a
Jeep dealership, she can take pride
in the fact that the work she has
done this time around will turn a
few heads. Plus, given the fact that
a man who could have essentially
picked anyone to restore his Jeep
chose her, it speaks volumes to
her passion for the hobby and her
abilities as a mechanic.
Michaela has now taken on
the challenge of restoring a 1966
Dodge Power Wagon Town Wagon
panel truck which the pair bought
together in August 2013 as well as
the 1986 Dodge Ram D150 which
took Johnson to Nashville. To learn

MICHAELA BRASS BESIDE HER RESTORATION PROJECT
GUEST PROFILE: STEVE PERTS
Senior Project – Big Rig Trike
By Crystal Statskey
W
ith 40 years of history
to our names, Carlisle
Events has welcomed
generations of enthusiasts
through the gates. The stories
that come from them are often
very entertaining. Steve Perts
from near Somerset, PA is one
such story that caught our ear.
Steve drives east to Carlisle each
year to be part of many of our
events. Historically he has come
to our former Carlisle Bike Fest,
Spring and Fall Carlisle as well as
this weekend’s event; the Carlisle
Truck Nationals. The automotive
world has been in his blood
since an early age. Steve grew up
coming to Carlisle and has been at
the first of a few things; Bike Fest
and the truck show. Ironically,
Steve was also at our last Bike
Fest in 2013. Now, as a grown
man and a mechanic, he has been
bringing his family to Carlisle
for over 20 years. They come to
buy parts and gain inspiration for
future projects. A trip to Carlisle
is like a mini vacation with his
wife and four daughters who
love spending time together and
trying all the different foods the
town has to offer. After all, there
is something like half a dozen
different countries’ worth of food
represented in downtown Carlisle.
Visiting some of the biggest car
shows on the east coast, and with
their dad being a mechanic, his four
daughters have had some inspiration of their own for projects. One
in particular is a very unique Trike.
We say unique because while it has
three wheels it’s more like a threewheeler big rig hybrid. When
his twin daughters had to build
something as a graduation project,
the Trike seemed like a great idea,
one they wanted to work on with
Steve. As they were building it,
more of their influence came
from Jesse James of the Discovery
Channel because he was building
one on his TV show. This Trike,
however; was going to be “way
better and different.” They stripped
a Freightliner in order to build this
Trike into what it is today. That
move took two years to complete
and a year and a half to get the title
for it. The end result is a 13-speed;
four-ton Trike. It’s solid too and
comes with a 400 Cummins
engine, 38,000 rear end, Peterbuilt
front end and fenders that were
taken off of a gasoline tanker. It
gets only nine miles per gallon and
is complete with Michelin tires and
Mac bulldogs on the body. At last
year’s truck show, the Trike was a
very popular topic and many of the
spectators stood in awe, not only by
the design, but the engineering.
Another great experience from
the car shows is that Steve enjoys
our helpful staff and vendors.
“I have never run into one
careless worker and everyone is
always very helpful with whatever
I need,” noted Steve. “I love the
hands-on aspect of coming to
Carlisle. Instead of just ordering
from a catalogue or a website, I get
to actually walk down each aisle
and pick up or inspect the parts
myself before I buy, while also
getting a great deal on the price.”
For Steve, he claims “Carlisle
is my Wal-Mart.” Although it isn’t
just a place to buy parts and look
at cars; it’s a great place for family
members of all ages to enjoy.
“I love how Carlisle is very
family-oriented, which is perfect
for my wife and daughters. I get to
walk around the show and enjoy
the automotive sights and sounds
while they have the option of going
to the Women’s Oasis and enjoying
a massage and drinking smoothies,”
continued Steve.
For Steve, this Trike will not
be his last project that will be
featured here. A few of the projects
in the works include a ’38 Chevy
Pickup Street Rod, a Gold Wing
Motorcycle Trike and about five
other projects that are on the back
burner. We look forward to what
surprises he has in store for us.
If you want to see this Trike,
find it along Duke’s Blvd. behind
the WGTY Stage. And, if you
see Steve and his family close by,
commend them on being great
craftsmen and best of all, on being
great people.

Official Classic Car Insurance
Have you ever wondered what
collector-car insurance is all about?
It’s simple: “passion.” Heacock Classic
Insurance knows that collector cars
receive better care and are driven less
than the family vehicle, therefore,
classic car insurance rates are lower.
Our goal is to offer a custom, low-cost
program designed to fit your needs.
Collector car insurance from Heacock
Classic provides “Agreed Value”
coverage, full coverage during restoration, coverage for modifications, and
you choose your own repair shop if
your car is damaged. You also get to
choose a $0 dollar deductible and
automatically get $50,000 in coverage
for 30 days when you purchase a new
classic car. After you request a quote,
a status report is usually ready within
24 hours. Then we will contact you
to review it and hopefully activate
your new insurance policy. It’s simple,
easy and the best way to properly
protect your investment. Call us today

VENDOR PROFILE: RV 4 WHEEL DRIVE
Watch A Truck Makeover in Building T
By Mike Garland
T
here was a time when
makeover programs on
TV were all the rage.
They might still be, but I’ll leave
that type of TV for someone
else to decide. That said, I have
always been a fan of automotive
makeover programs. It’s cool to
see what something that starts as a
creation in someone’s mind turns
into in real life. In most cases,
just like those personal makeover
programs, the subject comes out
looking head and shoulders better
than before the fun started. With
that in mind, we hope you’ll enjoy
a similar makeover this weekend
as part of the RV 4 Wheel
Drive/LTAA “Stock to Show”
transformation.
The activity is happening within
Building T and will be showcased
in its completed state on the Red
102.3 stage Sunday. In between,
you can watch experts from RV 4
Wheel Drive in nearby Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania take a stock
a Ford F150 King Ranch and
transform it into a show-worthy
gem that just might find its way
to SEMA in Las Vegas later in the
year.
Now, a little about the participants.
The LTAA (as mined from the
LTAA web page): The LTAA, or
Light Truck Accessory Alliance,
exists to provide valued tools and
events for retailers and manufacturers to plug into and grow their
collective businesses. Members of
the LTAA are industry professionals dedicated to these ideals, and
to facing the challenges associated
with them head on. They’ve joined
together to form a potent coalition
whose mission is to determine and
shape the future of the light-truck
accessory industry. Through
cooperative action, members work
together to develop effective strategies and programs that specifically
address the needs of this industry.
The ultimate goal: to ensure the
viability and longevity of this
increasingly expansive and vibrant
market segment. The LTAA is a
council of the Specialty Equipment
Market Association (SEMA).
The LTAA is always looking for
great companies who manufacture, distribute, sell and/or install
accessories for light-duty pickup
trucks, vans and SUVs, or provide
services to the light-truck accessory
industry. If this is you, visit the
LTAA online today at www.
sema.org/ltaa and get involved.
According to them, the benefits are
priceless.
RV 4 Wheel Drive: As
mentioned above, RV 4 Wheel
Drive is based in nearby Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and has been
in business since 1977. After a
rebranding and slight name change,
the company became incorporated in 2009 and continues to
be a solidly run family business
within the mid-state. In addition
to being a staple of the community,
RV4WD has been involved with
events at Carlisle since the start
too. Since 2012, they’ve gone “all
in” as part of this LTAA transformation showcase which in the past
included the overhaul of a Jeep
Wrangler. The transformation
showcase is cool because it involves
a partnership with the LTAA and
its member companies. Having
been a member of the LTAA since
2005, Bob Smeigh, Sr. did so
because “they (the LTAA) have a
direct ear to the manufactures we
use. This allows us to have access
to information that may not be
otherwise available to us, like
proper wire color codes for wiring
installs, etc.”
Best of all, Bob believes his shop
is the only one of its type to work
with the LTAA in the manner that
they do and he is very proud of that
honor.
“This being our third build,
the LTAA allows us to choose the
products to install once we have a
vehicle in place. This way we avoid
fitment issues.”
As a company, RV4WD does
more than just makeover a truck at
the Carlisle Truck Nationals each
year. They have a midway space
and vend at multiple shows, plus
at their shop, they specialize in
aftermarket parts and accessories
for 4x4 trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs as
well as the crossover SUVs. This
requires them to have the capability
of finding just about any aftermarket part a customer needs and that
too is where the LTAA comes in. If
they don’t have it, they’ll get it; but
generally speaking, you can find
suspension systems, wheels, tires,
steps, running boards, lighting,
truck caps, snow plows, spray-in
bed-liners, Jeep tops, winches,
bumpers and grille guards and so
much more. As you can see, they
have it all!
And while the tuck being transformed belongs to the company,
this is a place where you can
confidently take your ride. Their
employees, along with Bob Sr.
himself, care about what happens
in the shop and what happens to
your ride after it leaves the shop.
They are a small outfit but a strong
team with family ties. Each team
member brings something to the
table and you’ll see that firsthand
this weekend.
The F150 is the biggest and
most extensive project they have
ever done for the LTAA. The truck
will start off with a 6” suspension
lift, new wheels and tires, full grille
guard to include a winch, electric
side steps, exterior lighting, interior
accessories, bed cover, fender
flairs…just to name a few. This
project will take well over 40 hours
to complete so some of it will have
already been completed prior to
this weekend.
Ultimately, as you watch the
transformation in Building T or see
the completed project on the stage,
know that many hours went into
it, that each piece was added with
the utmost in professional care and
that with the help of the LTAA, RV
4 Wheel Drive made this possible.

Coast based group of International Harvester owners,
lovers and addicts, is dedicated to the preservation,
restoration, and safe enjoyment of Scouts and IH
trucks of all vintages. TDFW hosts fourwheeling

and Light Truck Regionals at the Carlisle Truck
Nationals, TDFW also sponsors a number of other
events around the country, including the IH Scout and
Light Truck Nationals in Springfield, OH.
www.TripleDiamond.org / [email protected]
The Purple Helmet Surfers were again
crowned kings of cool in 2013. The club was born at
the very first Carlisle Truck Nationals and has been
running strong ever since. The truth behind the club
is that members of a now-defunct club happened to
park next to some socially outgoing folks, and the two
groups formed the Purple Helmet Surfers. The group
only meets at Carlisle and you can guarantee that
copious amounts of fun will be had during the show.
From pools to lifeguard chairs, guys in hula skirts and
coconut bras to blender drinks, this group epitomizes
the fun-loving nature of the Coolest Club award.
Everyone involved has a great sense of humor, tons of
patience and most importantly, tons of fun.
