Truck Nationals 2008

We have been to quite a few car shows in the US, so I thought that it was about time that we diversified. The 2008 Truck Nationals had been relocated from Kansas City to St Louis, at a location that was only about 10 minutes from where we live. I popped along on both days to see the large variety of custom trucks & SUVs on display. Air-bag suspension seems to be really popular, allowing the trucks to drive at normal height but then 'lay frame' when parked (i.e. the chassis rails sit on the ground). There was a good selection of both vintage & modern trucks which highlighted the variety of ways a truck can be modified.
