Rare Breed
Frank Dickerson's '88 Ford F-150
Pottsville, Arkansas
We Say: It's not every day that we come across a custom Ford of this body style. It's probably because most truck guys have Chevys that there is not an abundance of parts for Fords. However, it's good to see that there are people like Frank who aren't afraid of doing something different.

From Sport Compact to Sport Truck
John Dudley's '04 Chevrolet Colorado ZQD W/T
Rayland, Ohio
We Say: John may have started playing around with sport compact cars, but eventually he was lured into the sport truck world. Seeing as how newer trucks like this Colorado are able to carry many people, haul loads, and still be sporty, it's a no-brainer to conclude that trucks are better than cars.
