After creatively crafting a '56 F-100 crew cab, the astute truck builder attached a utility trailer for bringing the incidentals, like a beverage-filled cooler and show-truck cleaning and waxing supplies. Smart. |  Ford trucks of all varieties...  Ford trucks of all varieties were prevalent at the 27th Annual F-100 SuperNationals and Ford Family Reunion.

You could call this photo "Fordolution in Black." We hope the three beauties and their crafty creators will be back next year for The 28th Annual SuperNationals and Ford Family Reunion. We'll be there! |  |
