Awesome project? History in the making? Report in!

Ed and Linda Stockton should be spending their golden years relaxing. Instead, they spend most days and nights working on the road, miles from home and family.

I was refueling next to Ed and Linda's 2000 Kenworth, recent winners of the CMT television show "Trick My Truck" in New Mexico several days ago. This truck gets a lot of attention wherever she goes and this day was no exception.

I wanted to talk with Ed, but too soon he was on his way out. (I was able to give Ed my courtesy card) As I was taking pictures of his truck, affectionately named the "Fort Stockton" people started gathering around taking pictures and admiring this beautifully remodeled customized truck. Congratulations again Ed and Linda!!

I think my favorite part of this truck would have to be the self massaging seats. :) A trucker's dream truck, no doubt!
