Street Trucks November 2022

AS THIS ISSUE OF STREET TRUCKS IS BEING PRINTED, THE ST CREW HAS PACKED THEIR BAGS AND THEIR CALENDARS IN PREPARATION OF A SEVEN-DAY NOVEMBER GETAWAY TO THE WORLD-FAMOUS SEMA SHOW IN LAS VEGAS. A lot of changes have happened in our industry over the last year, many of which will undoubtedly alter the landscape of this automotive lover’s mecca. From the aggressive infusion of electric-vehicle upgrades and swaps to the absence of major industry icons such as Ford and GM, the storyline is set, and all the surrounding drama you need for an entertaining outcome is in perfect alignment. We’re excited to be attending in 2022! While we are out documenting the best and keeping an eye on the rest, enjoy the last 30 days of content creation by…

INTRODUCING THE 2023 GMC CANYON AT4X Designed to be the Most Advanced Off-Road Midsize Truck THE official vehicle of nowhere is here: the 2023 GMC Canyon midsize truck. Boasting a fully redesigned exterior with a standard factory lift and widened track across the lineup, a new premium suite of advanced technology, and an all-new interior design, the next-generation Canyon is built from the ground up to conquer just about any terrain. The 2023 model year Canyon introduces the first-ever Canyon AT4X option to its lineup. Building on the success of AT4, the AT4X sub-brand is the ultimate expression of GMC’s commitment to delivering serious off-road capability. First introduced on the 2022 Sierra, the AT4X trim has quickly become synonymous with robust off-road credibility. The 2023 GMC Canyon will be the…

’63-’87 C10 CHASSIS THE GROUNDED CHASSIS INCLUDES ALL NEW FRONT AND REAR AIRBAG SUSPENSION. When aired out, it allows you to lay the frame on the ground with 29-inch-tall front and rear tires. Fully aired up, the chassis boasts a max ground clearance of 8 inches with minimal camber change. When aired down, it provides that aggressive 4-inch ride height that everyone wants. In the rear, choose from two different coilover suspension options based on your needs and preferences. Both of these replace the outdated and under-performing truck arm suspension that’s seen on factory C10 frames.

THE interior is also the perfect blend of factory and custom, with reshaped Expedition seats stitched in custom stamped leather, with matching Expedition center console and other stamped interior pieces. IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO DROP A GRIPLOAD OF CASH ON A TRUCK THAT MOST PEOPLE PASS RIGHT OVER ON THEIR WAY TO BUY A CHEVY. The ’97-’03 Ford full-size trucks were never super huge with the custom crowd—even the Lightning was never really that popular in comparison to other trucks—but Servando Salazar was all about straying away from the pack and building something that was totally unique from the get-go. And we don’t think anyone can say that his 2000 F-150 isn’t in a league of its own! The complete build took about six years from start…

PEOPLE BUILD THEIR CUSTOM RIDES FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT REASONS. For some, being cool is enough. For others, the reasons can get rather complicated. Andy Rubio has built quite a few custom vehicles throughout the years, many of them falling into the previously mentioned “because it’s cool” category. This time around, however, Andy had different motivation. After taking his family to countless shows over the years, he wanted everyone to have a hand in the next build, offering their input on how it would turn out. What the Rubio family ended up with is a showstopper that left the crowds slack-jawed when it debuted at this year’s Lone Star Throwdown. Now, while everyone reading this obviously already loves C10s, we all have to admit that there’s a certain formula…

EVERYTHING ABOUT RAPPER RICK ROSS IS LARGER THAN LIFE, SO WHEN HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD BE HOSTING A SHOW AT HIS OWN HOUSE, WORD SPREAD FAST THAT THIS WOULD BE THE EVENT TO ATTEND IN 2022. Touted by RR himself as the biggest show to ever hit the Atlanta area, The Promise Land show drew the slickest local rides, as well as plenty from other states near and far. Held on Ross’ 235-acre property, there was no shortage of space for the hundreds of rides in attendance, not to mention the thousands of spectators. At $750 per ticket to enter (and $250 for spectators!), anyone attending with their ride had to be sure that it was up to snuff, and most went above and beyond. It seemed like almost…
