One of the many great rewards for being an editor of the "World's Leading Truck Publication," Truckin', is attending custom truck shows all over the country. During the past 12 years as Senior Tech Editor, I have accumulated a lot of seat time in front of my computer screen, writing miles and miles of editorial. When I am not at my desk, I am driving or flying to create another tech article or to cover another show. 

This past season, I have enjoyed checking out many cool custom rides, meeting new friends, and seeing old ones again. I am looking forward to the '08 show season, with great anticipation of seeing new innovative ideas and trends of early-model custom trucks. I have many dates already circled on my calendar. My bags are already packed, my camera batteries are charged, and I am ready to roll.

'07 was a slice of heaven. I am looking forward to another great  year in '08.
