The 2010 Carlisle Truck Nationals

Bob Linthicum's Peacock Red '56 Ford was among the trucks shown at the invitational display. It runs with a 429/350 carried on a MII front and a TCI four-link hooked to a 9-inch rear end. Cushioned by Air Ride shocks and cooled by Vintage Air, this is was one of the nicest F-100s at the show.

William Smith, of Levittown, PA, found an old dragstrip push truck in Arkansas and went to work. Powered by a 383 stroker hooked up to a 350 turbo, it is supported by a '77 Camaro clip, a custom-made four-link at the back, and Ride Tech suspension. With a No Limit hood kit and suicide doors and Dave Wyeth pinstriping and graphics, this is one fine truck.

For some 25 years, Mike O'Holleran has been scavenging parts for his Studebaker. Powered by a Mopar 318/904 on a '65 Sport Fury sub frame, it is a truly unique work in progress.

Looking for a new home was this '66 Ford, an ultra-clean two-owner survivor with 41K on the odometer.

According to Jerry and Donna Reilly, their short box '57 Chevy was a trailer queen. Now they drive her to all the shows. With a '79 Trans Am front clip, GM crate HO 350/400 tranny, and a 9-inch Ford rear end, this black beauty rolls on Goodrich 245/60/17s on the front and 270/60/17s at the rear.

Dave Andersen drives his dark green '54 Chevy around town and to local shows. A 20-year on-and-off build, he did all the work in his own shop.

This '54 F-100 was Jerry Turner's senior high school project. His 74-year-old uncle, who was a previous street racer, helped with the build. According to Jared, the truck was from Texas and 99 percent of the parts needed to complete it were obtained at Carlisle swap meets. Powered by a 351 Windsor linked to a C6 and 9-inch Ford rear end. Heidt's Mustang II, Cyberdyne gauges, and Nitro wheels complete the project. What did you drive right after high school?

There were many Chevy C10s on display, but Dennis Rosenberry's '69 was the straightest of the bunch. Engine is a 350 mated to a M-21 Muncie four-speed transmission.
