Shining in Florida

Jun 1, 2010

Some of the top show trucks in the country came in April to the 75 Chrome Shop at Wildwood, Fla. They competed in the first of five 2010 Pride & Polish shows, sponsored by Overdrive’s Custom Rigs, to be held from coast to coast.

This 2010 International ProStar Limited from L.B. Trucking, Greensburg, Ind., won Ron and Jan Huey Best of Show Working Bobtail.

After the truck was retired about three years ago, owner Joel Anker had it rebuilt into a show truck. The hard work paid off, with a fifth-place finish in the Limited Mileage -- Bobtail with Miles class at MATS in March.
