Street Trucks March 2025

chamilton@engaged.media LET’S TALK ABOUT WINTER HIBERNATION—FOR TRUCKS, THAT IS. If you’re like me, putting your custom ride away for the season feels bittersweet. After all the hours spent building, troubleshooting, and perfecting every inch of your truck, the thought of tucking it away for winter is a bit of a downer. But it’s also a great time to appreciate the work you’ve put in, and make plans for what’s next. Take my 1979 C10, Rocky, for example. After 2.5 years of hard work and countless tech articles, this truck has become a permanent roommate living in my garage. With the weather turning colder and national events becoming less frequent, I recently parked Rocky in the garage for the rest of the season, taking a moment to reflect on the journey.…

WHEN JAVIER MENDOZA FROM FT. Worth, Texas, set out to build his 1990 GMC C1500, it wasn’t just another truck project—it was personal. Named “Doza Bros” after the bond he shares with his brother, this yellow and white stunner is a heartfelt tribute to his mother, whose favorite color was yellow. With countless hours of hard work and $25,000-$35,000 invested, Javier transformed this classic into a beautifully modernized bowtie. “FOR Javier, Doza Bros is more than a truck—it’s a rolling testament to family, craftsmanship, and a love for the build. The journey began with a clean slate and plenty of ambition. Javier tackled the bodywork himself, shaving the antenna and bed pocket holes while smoothing out the firewall. The truck received a custom mix of Sunset Yellow and 8624 Chevy White…

WHETHER THROUGH YEARS OF SAVING, TRADING, OR LATE NIGHTS IN THE GARAGE, WE ALL HAVE THAT DREAM VEHICLE WE’RE WORKING HARD TO CREATE. For Adan Ramirez Ruvalcaba, his passion for custom trucks and cars began in his hometown of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Despite the challenges of building custom vehicles there, Adan’s resourcefulness, combined with the help of friends, allowed him to bring several dream builds to life.

“SEEING his truck was an unbelievable experience and it was proof that his dreams had come to life! TONY IS NO STRANGER TO THE CUSTOM TRUCK SCENE. It all started when he was a little kid, when the local truck guys invited him to hang out with them at the neighborhood Sonic Drive-In. As Tony grew older, the truck scene got bigger and better. Coming from the state of Texas where the truck game is at its full speed, he knew he had to have his own custom truck one day. Tony found a job in Alabama that he could not pass up, but this took him away from his Texas truck scene. He kept going to shows both locally and out of state and checking out the latest truck…
