10-4 Magazine June 2024

the lemonade and snow cone stand, as we battled that hot Arizona sun. It was a great turnout, and running into old friends and meeting new ones, was fun. Everywhere you turned, it was like being at a family reunion. Everyone was ready to get out and kick off the truck show season out West. However, in true truck show fashion, some pushed things to the last minute. Like Gerardo Almanza, who brought an astonishing red and black 1963 Peterbilt cabover truck and trailer, that still works every day, that left the Pickett Custom Trucks shop just in time to get loaded and head out to the track. Another standout was Joey of Lockmanese Lowbed Service, who switched all the lights on his white Peterbilt over to glass just in time for the show. It was a memorable experience, and I can’t wait for the next one! The show wrapped up with the Pickett Custom Trucks team personally delivering trophies to the 2nd and 3rd place winners. All the 1st place winners and the Best of Show recipients got to take a victory pass down the drag strip in their truck after being presented with their custom trophies. Also, in true last minute truck show fashion, the cool and unique trophies, which were made by Rod Pickett, were finalized and painted the night before the show started! After receiving their trophy and then posing for the camera and getting interviewed, the winners took their victory lap down the track, concluding the event. Keep an eye out on social media and with 10-4 Magazine for next year’s event dates. And thanks to everyone who came out and had fun in the Arizona desert to support this great event. n 10-4 Magazine / June 2024 63
