26 Years of Mini Truckin Nats

The roots of the Mini Truckin Nationals started in the heart of the Smokey Mountains in Pigeon Forge, TN in the 80’s and the 90’s. Enthusiasts have evolved into builders, building new projects differently. Builders modify mini trucks because they are small and more affordable vehicles to work with. Projects are transforming into larger vehicles including SUV’s, station wagons and full-size trucks displaying the same mini truck flair.

The Heart of any Air Suspension System

As a proud sponsor of the Mini Truckin Nationals, we provide dual packs and goody bags for giveaways that perpetuate the message of “VIAIR is the heart of any air suspension system!” Our limited edition posters and decals break down how an air suspension system operates:

  • 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.

Nate Wimmer’s 1994 Nissan Hard body features a 3.5 inch traditional body drop tucking 17 inch Boyd Coddington Stingrays wheels. Nate’s late friend originated the paint work, Andy Hawks helped with the graphics and the interior was completed by Nate and Kenny Franklin. The unique paint job is from House of Kolor’s Majik Blue Pearl Candy over a white base. The old school air set up displays eight 3/8s SMC valves, one VIAIR 450C as the main compressor and a VIAIR 100C as a backup. The reverse 4-link retains the factory fuel tank so the truck can function and drive as if it was stock. This true time capsule features a suspension and body drop installed in 1999 with paint and body completed in 2003. The graphics were added last year along with the interior. The tires are even date coded from 1999! The truck is daily driven with no issues for the past 21 years! This truck proves just how reliable VIAIR is for your air ride!
