Show had over 1000 antique tucks displayed in Syracuse, New York! Click

To add a western
flair to the 2004 show, it was named the Truck Round Up.
Admission
and parking is free to the public. We are anticipating 25,000 spectators.
Fontana is centrally located with an excellent transportation network.
There is so much to do and see around Ontario. In addition San Bernardino
County is close to the beaches, deserts, amusements parks, historical
sites, golf courses, sports arenas, and the spirit of route 66.
