Mafia Secrets – May 2023
Busted!
Have you ever been worried about being in the right place at exactly the right time? Well, meet the folks who got caught on the lot at Chrome Shop Mafia HQ in Joplin, Mo.
Yeah, yeah, maybe the dispatcher said “keep on rollin’ – that load has gotta be there yesterday,” but some urges simply can’t be resisted. When the chrome fever gets ahold of you, the turn signal comes on right at about mile marker 4 on I-44, and the steering wheel kinda pulls you in the direction of the Chrome Shop at 4 State Trucks. Congrats to those photographed – you officially have been busted! LL

Long and tall with a shiny new reefer. WOW!

The painted tanks, fenders and rear bumper … nice touch.

A painted T-bar with recessed light panel brings up the rear.

Cool ol’ KW K100 wearing work clothes.

362 Peterbilt with big bunk and big wheelbase.

A slick Star Car in a sea of Petes, KWs and Freightliners.

Stellar photo of a stellar KW.

Seems like a black and white situation to me.

W900L with a studio. One of the world’s best.

Cool kids just hangin’ out on the lot.
