GUIDED by its vision of a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, General Motors announced it will offer EV technology more broadly, one component at a time. This approach will enable GM to expand its reach to a larger, more diverse group of commercial customers, helping organizations meet the growing demand for zero-emissions technology while achieving their own sustainability targets. “GM has an established strategy, network of integrators and co-development agreements to apply an extensive array of components and solutions to a broad range of customers and use cases,” says Travis Hester, GM vice president of Electric Vehicle Growth Operations. “As companies across many industries look to reduce their environmental impact, GM is uniquely positioned to serve as a leader not only through exciting new EVs across…

WE ARE BACK AGAIN WITH OUR CONTINUING SERIES ON PROJECT BURNADEBT, THE 1959 CHEVY APACHE PROJECT BEING RESURRECTED FOR EDDY CEBRECO. Last time we featured Burnadebt in this tech series, with help from the crew at Auto Metal Direct along with Jubee Mays of aMAYSing Metal Works, we repaired the cowl sides on Burnadebt, removing the rot and giving it another lease on life. This step-by-step process can be seen in our October 2021 issue of Street Trucks. Now, if you have been following along, you know Burnadebt was a long way from greatness. We patched the fenders and removed the rust, we worked out the issues with the cowl sides, and now, we set our sights on the firewall. Burnadebt has been in and out of shops over the…

THIS HUMBLE SHOW STARTED WHEN A GROUP OF FRIENDS GOT TOGETHER JUST TO HANG OUT, AND IT HAS GROWN INTO ONE OF THE PREMIER EVENTS IN THE COUNTRY. More than 1,200 classic GM trucks attend the yearly C10s in the Park event, which is sure to grow again in 2022. In the past, it has been sponsored by Brothers Trucks, which means you know it’s a solid event. Getzendaner Park in Waxahachie, Texas, is the meeting grounds, and September is generally the best month to hold the show. After the daytime truck gathering event at the park is over, everyone attending is invited to cruise over to beautiful downtown Waxahachie for the Party on the Square. Before the night life starts, a representative from US Mags chooses their favorite 50…

CAPABLE, CLASSIC AND DOWNRIGHT RARE TRUCKS—IF YOU’RE ONLY EVEN SLIGHTLY INTERESTED IN EITHER OR ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES, THEN YOU’VE CERTAINLY HEARD OF HODSON MOTORS OUT OF LAS VEGAS. Derrick and his son Riley Hodson operate their modest shop that houses parts and pieces from various not-often-seen, vintage, medium duty pickups. Crew cabs that you never even knew existed are there, as well as other key ingredients required to create their insanely cool and specially styled one-off machines you soon won’t forget. DREAM TO REALITY First, let’s address how the Hodsons operate: Derrick dreams up his own unique design and function ideas, brainstorms with Riley, then lets him run wild to make those ideas come to life. The guys have come to rely on a network of nearby specialty shops…

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, IS KNOWN FOR MANY THINGS—CHEESE, HARLEY DAVIDSON, AND BEER TO NAME A FEW. But one thing that isn’t widely known is the passion people there have for trucks. For 15 years, Mario Reyes and his crew at Mexican Fiesta have been holding a car and truck show where proceeds go directly to empowering the Mexican community via scholarships for young Mexicans who are seeking a better life and higher learning. The three-day-long 2021 event was held in August at the Summerfest grounds at Henry Maier Festival Park, adjacent to Lake Michigan. The Fiesta honors culture, tradition and family as well as encourages individuals from all ethnic backgrounds to share in the beauty of Mexico’s rich history, art, music and food. With constant entertainment all through the night, Mexican…

ANDREA FAPPANI IS A NAME THAT MOST FOLKS OUT THERE MIGHT NOT BE TOO FAMILIAR WITH, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE IN THE CUSTOM PICKUP TRUCK ARENA. For those unfamiliar with the name, Italian-born Fappani is quite an influential figure in the highly competitive sport of horse reining. While many of y’all might not have too much interest in the world of pony wrangling, you might find another one of Andrea’s favorite hobbies much more appealing. Andrea has developed a deeply rooted love of custom trucks that started back when he first relocated to Arizona. He made the move to The States quite some years ago to further pursue his career with horses and absolutely fell in love with pickups. The attraction to these vehicles mostly stemmed from the simple fact that…

NO, WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT AN ANGRY GUY BELLOWING FROM THE ROOFTOPS IN THAT HEADLINE. We’re talking about this gorgeous 1971 Ford F-100 with a supercharged 2013 Coyote V-8 that’s proudly owned by Quality Roofing Inc. in Tampa, Florida. It roars, alright, and then some. “We built it for a customer who wanted a restomod classic truck for marketing purposes,” says Michael Rolleri, who owns and operates Salvage to Savage, a full-service fabrication and speed shop in nearby Boca Raton. “It took a year to build at a cost of six figures.” When you see and hear this green-and-white patinaed rig in person—and take a peek under the hood—the cost and time involved make perfect sense. But first, the exterior. Everything you see is original: the grille, the bumpers,…

FORD Motor Company said today it is planning to nearly double production of the F-150 Lightning pickup at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn to 150,000 trucks per year to meet high demand for the first all-electric version of America’s bestselling vehicle, the F-Series. In January, the first group of reservation holders was invited to place their orders for the F-150 Lightning. Due to unprecedented customer interest, Ford implemented a wave-by-wave reservation process, with reservation holders being asked to watch for an invitation via email from Ford or to log into their Ford.com account. Those who didn’t receive invitations to convert for the 2022 model year will have an opportunity to order a future model year vehicle in due course. The Lightning is drawing interest from customers of competitor…

HERE’S A LOT T TO BE SAID ABOUT A GUY WHO KNOWS HE HAS SPENT ENOUGH TIME ON THE SIDELINES AND IS READY TO EXPERIENCE THE ACTION ON THE FIELD FOR HIMSELF. Kennan Damery from Enumclaw, Washington, has owned his 2000 Silverado for a while now, but it wasn’t until four years ago when he decided to get serious about building it up the way he had always envisioned it. He knew he could pull off something special with his Chevy, but all he had to do was take that first big step and let everything else just fall into place. “I’ve always had a passion for lowered trucks”, Kennan says. “I’ve always wanted to build one that stood out, and I made sure to take advantage of the…

“F1K” IS THE PERFECT NAME FOR THIS 1972 F-100. How did we come up with it? Well, it’s an F-100 with 1,000 horsepower. Easy enough! John Jinnings is a lifelong enthusiast of building custom vehicles. He has personally owned 156 automobiles, with about 25 of them being magazine worthy. John found a rust-free ’72 Ford F-100 on eBay in California, and once the deal was done and the truck shipped to Indiana, they stripped it down to just what was needed and sold everything else off. SOLID FOUNDATION With the power the motor was going to have, a stock frame would twist like a pretzel, so John went with a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis with a 4-inch drop built in. He used a 4-link on the rear with Penske…

ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS SPREADING ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF JOY. After 2021 being such a trying year, what better way to spread joy than by raising money and donating toys to those in need? What started out as a birthday celebration 12 years ago for Chris Few and his club No Regrets has blossomed into the No Regrets Holiday Toy Drive Car & Truck Show, which helps provide Christmas gifts to more than 2,000 children of the Winder, Georgia, community. Distributing and making it all possible is the Barrow County Holiday Connection and their commitment to ensuring children are taken care of. Because of the efforts of the surrounding communities, businesses and other volunteers, this year managed to raise more than $10,000 and a box…

RELATING A CLASSIC TRUCK BUILD TO AN ICONIC MOVIE TITLE IS A GREAT WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO REMEMBER YOUR PROJECT AND POINT IT OUT AT THE LOCAL TRUCK SHOWS. The concept behind project Rocky was to find an old, retired workhorse of a truck, tear it all the way down to its core, and completely rebuild it into an all new, better version of its original self. Rocky Balboa is a well-known character in classic cinema, and his story equally relates to the tale we are telling: retired, reborn and eventually re-reigning as the king with the crown, or in this case championship belt. That’s the plan for project Rocky, although I bet we’re going in a different direction than you would expect. This truck came from the factory…
