he popularity of classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks shows no signs of stopping. If you needed any further proof, the turnout at the Southeastern Truck Nationals should seal the deal. With more than 1,000 classic Chevy and GMC trucks on hand at the Wilson County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, Tennessee, the crowd was thick and the show field was packed with a wide variety of builds. Folks traveled from more than a dozen states to take part in this event, which is experiencing continued growth in every aspect, despite a poor weather forecast this year.

Truck enthusiasts came out in droves to see all the latest creations, dig around for parts in the swap meet, and check out the newest components in the vendor area. Whether it was sweltering hot or pouring rain, the devoted crowd didn’t want to miss their chance to take part in this event, which always takes place in July.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of this show, which features all generations of Chevrolet and GMC trucks. We’re focusing mainly on the 1947-1987 year range, and you’ll notice a great mixture of build styles from high-end show trucks to down-and-dirty patina builds. We also loved the mixture of short wheelbase, long wheelbase, Stepside, and Fleetside trucks, and, of course, an awesome selection of Blazers and Suburbans. Whether you like your classic trucks mostly original, slightly modified, or wildly customized, there was something for everyone at the 11th Annual Southeastern Truck Nationals.
