(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0The <\/span>Boonesborough<\/span> Boogie Nationals is hosted by the Southern Knights of Central Kentucky car club and takes place at Ft. <\/span>Boonesborough<\/span> State Park near Richmond, KY.\u00a0 To say the area has history is an understatement.\u00a0 Located on the banks of the Kentucky River, the campground next to the park is where the original fort stood and the re-created settlement is just a short walk up the hill.\u00a0 Not too far away is Richmond, KY which was where the most decisive confederate victory of the Civil War concluded.\u00a0 <\/span>Its<\/span> one of the most-beautiful places to hold a show that benefits multiple charities, but caters mainly to the needs of children.<\/span>\u00a0 Though the weather threatened, many made the trek anyway and were rewarded with a stream of cars rolling in throughout <\/span>both<\/span> day<\/span>s<\/span>.\u00a0 The problem for someone like me<\/span>,<\/span> who wants to see everything<\/span>,<\/span> is that anytime we see or hear something moving its cause for investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 This year we saw a bunch of vehicles we hadn\u2019t seen at shows across the state so the camera was working hard at draining the batteries.\u00a0 <\/span>I took nearly 600 photos of which I\u2019ll likely only use about half.\u00a0 <\/span>This gallery is a collection of trucks, tractors, and stuff that likely doesn\u2019t fit into other groups.\u00a0 Some highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n

A cab-over Ford with a stake bed rolls in.\u00a0 When was the last time you saw one of those\u2026?<\/span><\/p>\n

70s Chevy C10 fleet-side that is one of the finest examples I\u2019ve ever seen and one of the cleanest builds there.<\/span><\/p>\n

A blown, black Chevy truck that appeared completely subtle until the hood was opened.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gorgeous blue <\/span>Phat<\/span> Ford with the right stance, paint, and just enough polish to catch the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of old Chevys on S10 chassis.<\/span>\u00a0 Might be expedient and sometimes can look great, but it seems a bit overdone now and<\/span> t<\/span>oo many trucks are getting hacked up to make it happen.<\/span>\u00a0 \u201947-\u201954 seem to get this treatment the most.\u00a0 I\u2019d have the same gripe if everyone was making them into \u2018gassers\u2019 too.\u00a0 I\u2019m not into fads.\u00a0 Lately I\u2019ve actually started looking for these that actually have at least a portion of the original frame.\u00a0 Honestly I can\u2019t remember the last time I saw one with a Nova <\/span>subframe<\/span> shoved into the frame rails and boxed in place.\u00a0 My age is showing\u2026.isn\u2019t it\u2026?\u00a0 Enjoy.\u00a0 Still to come \u2013 muscle cars, classics, street rods, and more!<\/span><\/p>\n
