Black On Black
Gary Leach JR. '05 GMC Sierra
Windsor, California
We Say: Gary has performed a few well-placed modifications to get his ride just the way he likes it. He still wants to install a custom grill on the murdered out GMC, he just can't decide which one to get. At some point a Pioneer double-DIN touch-screen DVD player with navigation will find its way into the dash. The truck is simple and clean and we hope the Mothers stuff will help Gary keep it that way for years to come.

71 & Still Cool
Bob Polaneczky '05 Dodge Ram
Oreland, Pennsylvania
We Say: 71-year-old Bob tweaked his Ram to show all the young guns out there how it's done. He has done most of the work himself, and it doesn't look like he will be stopping anytime soon. Even Bob's wife is in the custom scene with her 4x4 2002 Quad Cab Ram that has a grille and some other styling cues. These two are showing us all that you are never too old to have a custom truck.
