S I ALWAYS SAY, TIME SURE FLIES. Writing this column allows me to reflect on the truck scene as a whole and also look forward to what trends are on the horizon. On Our Lifestyle Podcast’s YouTube channel, I have been looking back at truck publications, including Street Trucks magazine, that were published 20- to 30-plus years ago. I’m amazed at how much has changed, yet I’m also blown away at how much has remained consistent. The sport-truck era and the mini-truck craze of the 1980s brought in new, radical trends that we continue to see today. Convertible trucks lowered with big stereos and wild paint are still a mainstay in the truck scene today.
What has changed? Well, budgets are bigger, trucks are lower, and wheels are more massive. One thing I’ve noticed in the mini-truck scene in particular is that old school is back. From coast to coast, we are seeing a resurgence of 1980s and 1990s trucks. Many of them are static dropped with tilt or dancing beds, wild paint, and wickedly clean interiors. Heck, some guys are digging out their old builds and taking them to shows. Take for instance a mini-truck called “Red Hot.” It was on the cover of a magazine in 1989 and then put away for 20 years. After some normal maintenance, it was back on the show circuit and taking names. Now that is timeless! As we progress through 2023 I will look back more on classic trucks and trends that are sure to bring a smile to your face.
