10-4 Magazine July 2024

24 10-4 Magazine / July 2024 White Freightliner cabover. Grant drove this cool truck out fromArbuckle, CA all the way to York, PA (which was around 2,750 miles) with no power steering or air conditioning. Let me tell you, that is one committed young man! Some other cool rides I saw were Manny Lopez’s Kenworth W900A with a Caterpillar C18 and a 6x4 trans, Corey Lormand’s gold, brown and black Peterbilt 359, Jason Sanders’ champagne and brown Kenworth W900L, and Matt Buckwalter’s blue Peterbilt 359. Inside one of the expo halls there were other trucks, vendors, and displays set up. As 10-4 did not have a booth set up, I worked the show for photos all three days. There were plenty of food trucks at the show and I frequented the BBQ trailer, and the pulled pork was delicious! ATHS events included the Board of Directors and Membership Meeting, EmpowHER:AWomen Owned & Operated Tour, and the Gettysburg Military Experience, which explained and showed the WW-II American Experience Museum and Education Center in Gettysburg. Outside the hall, Kenworth of PA had a tent set up with a nice red, white, and black cabover. I would like to mention a special individual who I had the pleasure of meeting named Barry Chesler. Barry has a pretty cool red Peterbilt 359 pickup truck. Barry and his late wife Gigi (who passed unexpectedly in December 2023) are big fans of 10-4 Magazine and have been following the publication since the very beginning. It was nice to put a face to the name, since Barry, Dan, and myself had been communicating via email in the weeks leading up to the show. I’m glad we could finally meet. As far as attendance, there were over 900 trucks in total at the event. Being my first ATHS national show I was seriously impressed with the turnout and the caliber of trucks. The 2025 show will be in Madison, WI, and I am already making plans to be there next year. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed myself over the course of the three days. I saw old friends, made new ones, and got the chance to shoot some cool antique and modern trucks as they invaded York, PA once again! n
