There is lots of that also, I'm trying to get my truck just to look good from far away....lol. in all seriousness it is pretty hard to keep them looking good doing that work, it's a lot harder on a truck than people think, especially if you are not just plant hauling, the crap contractors think your truck can go through gets ridiculous, at one time my truck had a straight bumper and straight fenders, and actually sat and looked straight, about 2 months of end dumping took care of all that
Mid America Truck Show, is it worth it to go?

Glad it’s still open, I enjoyed it the times I was there in years past….mjd4277, cke, CAXPT and 1 other person Thank this. -
That black 379 is a time capsule. The owner let me check it out after I purchased an old autocar from him. Amazing is an understatement. original miles.

Heartfelt thanks for the advice from all you guys here. I kind of thought it would be a one time bucket list thing but I'm planning on doing it again, if not next year, soon. I wandered around for most of all three days - had some great conversations (Might be reaching out to @blairandgretchen for a little Landstar advice at some point) enjoyed a couple of the seminars and tripped out on all the gorgeous iron.
When I wasn't at the show I was eating well! I didn't realize how seriously Kentucky folks take their chicken. Best #### fried chicken I've ever had, and the waffle was killer too. Next time I'm gonna take some extra days for the Louisville Slugger factory, Churchill Downs and a drive to Bowling Green for the Corvette museum. Got a couple more restaurants I've been told I have to try too.Attached Files:

Did you happen to see Charlie trucker out of Pennsylvania? Has a dump bucket and a nice blue 379
cke Thanks this. -
I was planning to go this year but there were extenuating circumstances that prevented it.
Next year I’ll plan on it.
I was already looking at hotels/motels across the river near Jeffersonville,Indiana,as I knew everything in Louisville would be booked solid.
