Let me respond to everyone in general-

First off, I will repeat that this truck should beat my truck since they were classed together. It has much more detail, and there is no doubt that from a judges standpoint it deserves to win.

I'm not a big Pro Street fan either. I think it's a style that came and went. Regardless of my personal likes, it is still a nice truck.

I could write a book on the pro's and con's of trailered vehicles vs driven. I have beaten many trailered vehicles with my 84 Z-28 back in it's days. I can tell you it was a TON of work. I don't have a problem with trailered vehicles because there are so many cases where it's just doesn't make sense to drive. Regardless, my trucks will always be drivers even if I do trailer them to the show.

I really don't know how he mounted the shifter. It was on a metal bracket coming up from the floor, but I'm sure you already guess that. My personal opinion is it's just another part of the Pro Street look that I don't care for.

I am going to trailer my 87 beater to a show this weekend!

I'd drive it, but my wife won't ride with me that far without the comfort of leather, XM, CD player, and realllly cold A/C.

I'll drive the 87 the whole time when we get there. She'll be shopping and won't care then.

Well I can see trailering it to a show after you clean everything on it in preparation for the show...but if it's just a trailer queen...what's the point in having it?

A lot of people will build a car/truck and trailer it to the shows while it's still fresh. After a season or two, then they put them on the road. If/when my Blazer gets finished that will be my plan.
