10-4 Magazine / August 2025 33 some red spots on it! It sounds crazy, but everyone was looking at and asking about this work truck, which Jeff uses to pull an end dump most of the time. Something else that was standing out at this event was Blayne Amoth’s fun and creative golf cart. Starting out with a regular golf cart, Blayne took it apart, then mounted a wood picnic table on top of the chassis. Complete with diamond plate lower panels, a modified steering system and pedals, watermelon lights, a dedicated spot for a large cooler on the back, and a big red umbrella for shade, this thing was turning heads all weekend long – everybody loved it! Lots of other things were happening on Saturday, as well. There was stuff for the kids to do including a bounce house, face painting and a coloring contest, complete with six bicycles awarded to the various age group winners. There was a silent auction going on all day, with several tables filled with donated items for people to bid on, that ended just before the live auction and awards began at the end of the day. The live auction was very lively, and many items went for incredible amounts of money, including a custom table and two custom cutting boards and knives, engraved with the Southern Idaho Truck Show logo. The table, which featured a bronze powder-coated truck rim for the base and a polished piece of exhaust pipe for the stand, was built and donated by the folks at Gary Amoth Trucking and Jeff’s Graphics. The wood top not only had the truck show logo on it, but also a bunch of cool pinstriping, as well. The table originally auctioned for $6,700 to Kelly Irish Trucking, but they donated it back, so the show sold it again for another $3,000! The two cutting boards were made by Sam Gorrell from Gary Amoth Trucking, and his father made the custom knives to go with them – and each set sold for over $1,000.
