This slammed convertible semi stole the show. The paint was awesome, the chrome had a mirror-finish, and the attention to detail on this rig was second to none.
When we heard West Coast Customs was having a big rig show just down the street at California Speedway in Fontana, California, we jumped at the chance to attend.
What we saw there was an amazing mix of show trucks, work trucks, and everything in between. There were even a few drag racing semis that ran 13-second-or-better quarter-mile times at more than 100 mph. There were monster burnouts, vendors, bikini contests, and chrome everywhere. If you're into diesels and want to see a good show, we'd suggest you make sure to mark next year's event on your calendar.

In fact, driver Gord Cooper ran a best of 12.09 seconds at a blazing 119 mph. |  Wicked paintjobs were everywhere...  Wicked paintjobs were everywhere at this event.

Just like diesel pickups, most big rig owners are after more power, better fuel economy, and lower EGTs. |  Back at the truck show, we...  Back at the truck show, we noticed many owner-operators had amazing interiors. When you spend all day in your truck, making the inside as nice as possible is a no-brainer. |  Each pusher semi has a 30,000-pound...  Each pusher semi has a 30,000-pound ballast box over the rear wheels to make sure traction is there when trying to get moving. |
