The dates were Aug. 5, 6 and 7; and the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, were crawling with custom trucks of all eras, makes, and models battling it out for the top awards. The Carlisle All-Truck Nationals boasts a healthy mix of trucks sporting various degrees of customization. From insane classics with large displacement powerplants to rocker-folding late models stuffing big wheels and covered with elaborate paint schemes, Carlisle has something for every type of enthusiast. This year marked the 15th anniversary for this full-throttle event, and plenty of vendors were on hand to help those in project mode put the finishing touches on that truck in the garage. And if you were looking for a project to take home, there were plenty looking for new owners. The Carlisle All-Truck Nationals is truly an all-inclusive event.
