Street Trucks

chamilton@engaged.media AS WE CLOSE THE BOOK ON ANOTHER YEAR OF WRENCHING, CRUISING, AND CHASING THAT PERFECT BUILD, THIS ISSUE OF STREET TRUCKS FEELS LIKE A FITTING SEND-OFF TO 2025—A YEAR THAT PUSHED BOUNDARIES IN THE CUSTOM TRUCK WORLD. From backyard fab shops to the bright lights of Vegas, we’ve seen ingenuity at every turn, and our cover star embodies it all. Todd Touchet’s 1967 Ford F-100, affectionately dubbed Poodoo, isn’t just a slammed classic with a Blueprint 347 stroker and Accuair setup; it’s a reminder that even a stock barn find can become a head-turner with enough vision and grit. Todd’s story, captured by Phil Gordon, shows how a Louisiana dentist turned his passion project into a cruiser that’s as unconventional as it is captivating. Diving deeper, Victor Lopez brings…

THE JOURNEY BEGAN IN 2015 WHEN KERRIE’S FATHER, DAN, AND HIS BROTHER, SKIP, SPOTTED THE TRUCK AT A FRIEND’S PLACE. WARRENTON, OREGON, IS A LONG WAY FROM THE GLITZ OF POMONA, CALIFORNIA, OR THE NEON GLARE OF LAS VEGAS, BUT IT’S WHERE JAMES AND KERRIE MCKEY QUIETLY ASSEMBLED ONE OF THE MOST THOUGHTFUL C10 BUILDS TO CROSS THE SEMA FLOOR IN YEARS. Their 1972 GMC half-ton, affectionately dubbed Low Key, wears ochre- and white-colored paint that looks like it rolled off a wheat-field back road, but a closer inspection reveals a level of fabrication and systems integration that rivals any six-figure showpiece. The journey began in 2015 when Kerrie’s father, Dan, and his brother, Skip, spotted the truck at a friend’s place. It ran, but the transmission slipped, and the original…

THROUGHOUT MY YEARS OF SHOOTING TRUCKS, I’VE RARELY COME ACROSS AN OWNER WITH SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS JOB AS A DENTIST. Todd Touchet of Maurice, Louisiana, originally from Kaplan, graduated from USL in Lafayette with a four-year degree. He attended LSU School of Dentistry and graduated in 1997. Always a car and truck guy, Todd’s passion seemed to have grown over the years, and he became enamored specifically by Ford trucks. It took many years for Todd to find the truck he wanted, but his friend had a stock ’67 Ford F-100 just sitting around that caught his attention. WHILE MOST HIGH-PROFILE DENTISTS PARK THEIR BRAND-NEW PORSCHES OR BMWS IN THE PARKING LOT, TODD IS HAPPY TO STARE OUT AT THE SPOT WHERE HE PARKS HIS CLASSIC FORD POODOO. “My vision was…

FORGET WHAT YOU’VE HEARD—TRUCK CULTURE ISN’T JUST ALIVE IN MEXICO; IT’S THRIVING. Under the blazing Aguascalientes sun, the annual Los Chevroleteros show proved it’s the beating heart of the scene, and 2025 was its biggest, most electric iteration yet. We’re talking over 900 trucks, with builders rolling in from all over Mexico, and some making the pilgrimage from Arizona, Texas, and California. The energy was palpable from day one, with the event selling out on Saturday, with Sunday being the main event. Isla San Marcos was at absolute max capacity—a sea of polished chrome, custom paint, and seriously good vibes. The craftsmanship on display was next level. The undisputed crown jewel, however, was Autoclinic Restomod’s stunning classic crew cab debut. This isn't just a truck; it's a statement piece reminding…

AFTER SIX YEARS OF WRENCHING, CJ FAYET’S 2001 CHEVY BLAZER, NICKNAMED FIGHT CLUB, STANDS AS PROOF THAT RARITY AND RELENTLESS EFFORT CAN TURN A BASIC SUV INTO A ROLLING WORK OF ART. As a longtime photographer for Street Trucks, I’ve shot countless slammed rides, and this one is one of my favorites. House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red over Orion Silver paint, expertly applied by Tyler Hughey at The Original Paint Shop in Covington, Georgia, coats a body that has been modified far beyond factory standards. CJ, a systems engineer and proud member of Negative Camber, started with a clear mission: “There weren’t many out there. I wanted something different—something I’d be proud to call mine.” That vision drove every modification. The front bumper, borrowed from an S-10, and the rear,…
