7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1966 Ford F100
Lyle Brown had a slew of trucks at the show besides his '50 Chevy, like this '66 Ford F-100 shop truck with a 500- \cubic-inch Cadillac motor and a 700-R4 trans under the hood.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1942 Gmc Wartime Truck
It's not often that we see rare wartime trucks like this '42 GMC owned by Joe Krego from Vernon, BC. The beautiful grille on this seems a bit more refined than its postwar brothers.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1947 Ford Flatbed
"Big" trucks were a hit in Spokane. There were many a cab-over on the fairgrounds, including this "hot" '47 Ford that was sitting atop a 460/C6 combo owned and operated by Mark Jordan from Burbank, WA.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1950 Chevy Truck
This '50 Chevy truck was finished by retired millwright Lyle Brown just in time to make it to the show-and we're so glad he did. The Chevy was built by Lyle in his hobby shop that he shares with some friends, dubbed the So Low Rod Shop. There's a lot more going on under that Indian Turquoise paint than meets the eye; maybe we'll make you wait for the full feature to find out what!

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1955 Chevy Truck
Bill Kerekas and crew from Street Heat Hot Rods & Customs in Calgary, Canada, brought down their '55 Chevy Second Series truck to the show and went home with a jacket. The House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl paint almost jumps off the truck in the sunshine and goes well with the Boyd Coddington wheels, Air Ride, and rechromed trim pieces. The truck even has Bill's grandma's 455 Olds motor in it! Stay tuned for a full feature on this one, too.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1941 Ford Coe Truck
How many COE trucks have you ever seen with a handbuilt stainless steel frame? Dan Haberman from Haines, OR, crated probably the only one out there for his flamed '41 Ford. He also made the custom stainless cabinets, the tilt bed, and the grille. The 'bagged chassis is home to a blown 514 Ford motor, a 4L80E trans, and cream painted steel wheels. Dan's truck is truly a work of industrial/automotive art and deserves a closer look should you get the chance!

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1956 Ford F100
There are lots of red F-100s out there, but it's hard to find one as sweet as Jerry Piper's '56 big window. Under the tilt hood is a 502hp 454/Turbo400 combo and Volare clip, and out back there's even a Corvette IRS setup. Nice work, Jerry.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals 1970 Chevy C10
Jeff Frank's clean '70 Chevy C-10 was shaved of all extraneous items like marker lights, trim, and handles before being sprayed black, silver, and then flamed. The C-10 has a mean, injected 383 stroker motor with aluminum heads and a 200-4R transmission. The low-slung truck also has a full Air Ride setup and rolls on 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels.

7Th Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals Spokane Train
The Spokane Fair & Expo Center where the show was held was also home to a sadly defunct train museum of sorts, but luckily there were still a few things there to see, like this locomotive, which made me feel like I was 5 years old again. I put some more pics of the trains in a blog on www.classictrucks.com, so check 'em out.
