Mini Truck Life for 27 Years!

The show began with enthusiasts gathering together in the heart of the Smokey Mountains in Pigeon Forge, TN in the 80’s and 90’s. Mini trucks are a popular vehicle for customizing due to their compact size and affordability. Full-size trucks, SUV’s and station wagons are considered the expert level of the mini truck industry.

The Heart of any Air Suspension System

As a proud sponsor of the Mini Truckin Nationals, we partnered with popular Instagram influencer @Minitruckin_Takeover and Southeast Mini Truckin Nats to giveaway a VIAIR 444C Chrome dual pack. They help us perpetuate the message of “VIAIR is the heart of any air suspension system!” We break down the message how an air suspension system operates below:

  • The compressor acts as the heart, air bags as the lungs, the controller as the brain, and airlines are like veins through the body.
  • If your heart fails, the rest of your body cannot function.
  • That’s why it’s important to purchase a good quality heart in order to receive a good running system. It’s as simple as that.

VIAIR’s NEW 485C Gen. 2 Dual Pack’s sleek new head design with 100% duty cycle @200 PSI is the perfect solution to upgrade your trunk setup! Read more about our 485C Gen. 2 dual packs in our previous blog post here.

Feltham Fabrication’s Fabulous Blazer

Jason and Lindsey Feltham of Feltham Fabrication’s VIAIR Equipped 1989 S10 Blazer stole the show this year! This unique build features a traditional body drop, full sheet metal floor and firewall and 245-30-22 tires wrapped around 22″x9″ 695 wheels. The bagged setup exhibits a custom triangular four-link rear, Firestone F900 rear bags, and tubular front arms with plated lowers, Slam Specialties SS7 front bags and a full sliding ragtop. Sikspeed bucket seats are a nice touch inside with a fiberglass dash; 7″ flip out, 2 Skar audio 15″s in a custom fiberglass enclosure and Skar audio amps. The clean feel is due to the custom shaved tails, handles, mirrors, gas door, antenna and Caddy taillights. Dual Stealth Black VIAIR 444C are on display with a custom pedestal mount fabricated by FullPen Fab, seamless air tank, and 1/2 front valves and 3/8 rears traditional Parker style solenoid valves. The motor is a 388 (383 bored 60 over) built in Jason’s garage along with the rest of the truck, flat top pistons, ported polished Vortech heads with LS style springs, 1.5 roller rockers, comp cam, flat top pistons, Edelbrock Victor intake, 5-speed transmission converted, drilled slotted rotors, full 2.5″ exhaust built with Flowmaster 10 series mufflers exit at rear wheel. Painted by the airbrush king himself, Jason covered the Blazer with Tropical glitz products and Southern Polyurethane Clear! This build is special to Jason since his first mini and truck in high school was an S10 Blazer he never got to finish so he finally had a chance to build another!
