NYIAS: the Counter Balance
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
Wandering around on the floor of the New York International Auto Show, I came across this curious truck thingy hiding in the back of the lower level at the Javitts Center. It was tall, yellow, and crudely put together. So of course, I had to know more about it. And so, here is the background on this, um, unique vehicle called the Counter Balance. Continue reading after the jump.

America, Truck Yeah!
By David Clarke

Recession? What recession? That’s what I think when I lay my eyes on the two latest creations from Hulst Customs. Meet the “Striker” F-150 SuperCrew and F-350 Crew Cab Dually. Both trucks are rocking their factory powerplants, the F-150 with the 5.4 Triton V8 and the F-350 with its Powerstroke turbo-diesel. Their outsides, however, are anything but stock. See more…

CarDomain Member's Ride in Truckin' Magazine
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
Rob photographed this incredible bagged Dodge Ram at last year’s SEMA show, but it was only just last week that we noticed it was on CarDomain! The owner, Tony, has been busy since last time we saw this ride–it’s been featured all over the place, and will enjoy a six-page feature spread in the next issue of Truckin’ magazine. Congrats, man!

Ultra Clean 318s
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
New CarDomain member Piper is totally on the right track: with her learner’s permit in hand, she went and bought this lifted 4WD Dodge Ram pickup the day she turned 15. She’s since acquired a nice Grand Wagoneer as well. Both trucks are running death-proof 318 V8′s, and both are in really nice shape inside and out. Check out Piper’s ride pages and drop her a welcome!

Best Redneck Send-Off Ever: Man Buried in '67 Chevy Pickup With Rifle By His Side
By David Clarke

Last month in Sutton, West Virgina, Albert Dancy Jr. was shot during a domestic dispute that involved his ex-wife and some other guy. At his funeral, his 24-year-old son Adam thought it was best for his dad to go out the way he had always wanted: buried in the bed of his beloved 1967 Chevy pickup. Not wanting to go into the afterlife unarmed, Dancy had requested his pocket knife and his deer rifle to be buried with him as well. As Adam recalled of his father, “He said it always joking around, but he said it for so many years it was pretty much serious to me…I always took him seriously. It was the last thing I could do for him.” Your can read the rest of the story here.

Dump-Truck Wheelie Fail
By Brian Lohnes

Let’s say you’re a dump truck driver. Let’s say you’re in a hurry. Let’s say you forget that the dump body is up and you’re on the highway. Let’s say you probably don’t have a job anymore.
This photographic gem came to us from a local buddy. As you can tell by the signs, it happened in Connecticut. Pretty amazing that the sign and post held up as well as they did.
Imagine being the guy in the truck and having to radio this one into dispatch. We personally like the photo of the ladder truck with the ladder extended to fish out the driver. See the rest of the pics at BangShift.

Killer 1936 Ford Truck on Craigslist
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
Normally we don’t go all ga-ga over straight resto’d pre-war cars and trucks but this one is just too neat to pass up.
It is a wonderfully done truck powered by a factory warranty-replacement 1937 flathead V8. The truck recently won first place in its class at the Grand National Roadster Show according to the person selling it.
Aside from adding juice brakes, modern tires, and a horn, this thing is exactly as Henry Ford intended it when rolling off the assembly line in 1936. If anyone buys this thing and puts a small-block Chevy engine in it, we’ll personally find them and hurt them.

Do You Like Rock Band This Much?
Neuwerks
For you diehard Rock Band players out there, Chevrolet has your ultimate setup in the form of a totally tricked-out Silverado. This mobile Rock Band entertainment system features lifted suspension, four doors, a trusty 4WD system, and enough subwoofers to crack the moon. All of these features combined together will let anyone get their game on almost anywhere!
Besides the amazing integration of the video game setup, there were some other interesting details such as the guitar neck shaped external mirrors, and copious use of police-style lighting throughout the entire truck. This interesting contribution to the show was a working proof of concept showing that you can truly take your Rock Band setup almost anyplace you like!
