We Finally Beat The Heat

This year's Havasu Havoc, Powered by GM, was a new low-as far as the temperature was concerned. The mercury didn't hit 100 even once on Saturday, and a breeze kept everyone cool. Throw in a ton of custom trucks and cars, some parts' vendors, and a handful of former cover trucks, and you have the makings of a great show. We had trucks roll in from Fresno, California, Phoenix, and all over SoCal to compete for the trophies and bask in the Arizona sun. Kevin Blackbell's '98 Tacoma won Best Under-Construction and received a welder from Lincoln. Wow, what a gift! Check out truckinweb.com for more Havoc coverage.


This is what an 85-percent complete truck looks like.
