46th Annual Tulsa Rod And Custom Show - Sooner Style

Less with more is the only way to describe George Seals' '51 Chevy. At first glance, the truck is unsuspecting, but upon further inspection, you'll notice the headlights have been frenched, the cowl has been shaved, the bumper was ditched for a rolled pan, the hood seam was welded up and, well, the more you look the more you see.

In the late '60s, customizer Dave Puhl and Rod & Custom magazine hooked up to build the Phaze II. Designed by Puhl, the concept roadster pickup was built from scratch from the ground up. The late, great AMC supplied all the running gear for the space-age (at that time!) tubular chassis; including the midmounted 343ci V-8, four-wheel disc brakes, control arms, and more.

We dig the low brow look of this '40 Ford.

Living by the book (the book of Ford in a Ford) is Darrell Sparlin. Slammed on the ground with airbags, and big-inch Cragar SS wheels, this truck rocks a killer stance. But the key to the look is what lies under the hood, a pirated '98 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6 32-valve motor all decked out in deep maroon paint.

Although not quite done at the time, I couldn't help but take Project Get Shorty to the Starbird shindig.

If the truck bug caught you hard at the show, this bright red F-100 was up for sale, looking for a new owner.

Brian Dunning and His Rockabilly Band provided rockin' tunes throughout the weekend.
