Truck U

Any of yall ever watch Truck U on the speed channel? Ok, im gonna have to go and say its not my favorite automotive DIY type show, but they did a Garrett turbo upgrade on a Powerstroke that was pretty cool. I couldnt tell if it was a 7.3 or not ,they never said, it looked like a 7.3, but then again ive never been up close and personal with a 6.0, so they could look similar These guys seem to lean twards Fords, they did a 4x4 conversion on a '72 F-350, and best of all there is a grill like ours hanging on the shop wall. If the show were a little more informative and they cut out some of the cheesy factor it might move it up on my DIY show list a few notches. Ive only caught a few episodes so it might grow on me. Might wanna check out The Online Motorsports Authority. NASCAR, Formula 1, Auto Racing, Moto Racing, Cars, Bikes, PINKS and more! - SPEEDtv.com

As far as I'm concerned, the "hotty" award goes to either Courtney Hansen (Spike Powerblock host) or AJ, AKA Adrienne Janic of Overhaulin'. Jessy's good lookin for sure, but I have a thing for gals with longer dark hair, hence my sway towards Courtney or AJ

All the Powerblock shows are filmed just about 30 min. from me. I actualy did a interview with them when they were starting Trucks and my interview was done By Joe Elmore host of Horsepower. Guess I was not good looking enough for TV.
