The 2nd Annual Lanita Specialized truck show was held September 12th 2015 at Mt. Aetna, PA. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, rain intruded on the show. Despite the rain, there were some big rides in attendance. In addition to the trucks to check out, they had bbq chicken and a pig roast. All proceeds raised went to Orphan Resources International. This year’s date is September 10th at their Mt. Aetna PA. location. All trucks are welcome!

As a kid, me and my brother Tim would ride our bikes to a local fairground where horse shows were held on a regular basis. O this trip the Budweiser Clydesdales were using the barns as a hotel and the haulers were getting cleaned up.

Welcome to the October 2016 edition of LargeCarMag Online!
As regular readers of LargeCarMag know, we try to only feature working trucks. However, as we have done in the past, there are exceptions to that rule. Having a weakness for clean K100’s I made the executive decision that we HAD to feature Kevin Hlavac, of Canton Ga., super clean 1988 K100 known as “Unconventional”.
This year’s Make a Wish Convoy was held on May 8th In Lancaster County, PA and drew a new world record with
