Best of SEMA: Light Trucks and SUVs

By Jim Brennan

After completing my first ever SEMA, Rob gave me the assignment to nominate the five best light trucks and SUVs at the show. Are you kidding me? Trying to choose five out of literally dozens of deserving entries is almost beyond comprehension, but I’ll give it a go. So, here is is my list:

- The Cherry Bomb Dodge D-100
- The 1947 Hudson Project
- The Air-Zenith 6 Wheel Topless Mini Truck
- The 1957 Cool Cam Air
- The Pacific Performance Duramax C-10

I had three other trucks that I had a very tough time excluding, and they were:
- The Blastolene Piss-Off-Pete
- The TAC-V JAMMA V-22 ITV
- and my favorite Big Truck, the 1947 Diamond T

There were a lot of over the top high risers, and very cool low riders in the truck contingent. There were some especially cool heavy duty trucks that were ineligible in this category (and that included the Diamond T), but I was looking for originality, as well as true engineering. All eight of these trucks had it, the top five especially so. Look for my post on the top five off-roaders, and no that list won’t include the high rising trucks either.
