Show Trucks Ready for PKY at Mid-America
Chrysanne Henry of Brigham City, Utah, digs deep into a front wheel hub with a Q-tip to get out the even the tinyest bits of grease and dirt.
Several COEs were on display -- we counted seven -- including this gorgeous Pete.
The sign on the hood says 800 hp CAT. Can't imagine this owner-operator looses much sleep over fuel economy.
You don't see many COEs on the road anymore, but fans of that style of truck can still get an eyeful at a truckshow.
More than 70 trucks were on site by late afternoon Wednesday. More will be arriving toward the end of the week. It's a very good turn out so far this year.
