The high drama of a live truck giveaway marked the end of the Keystone BIG Show in Grapevine, Texas on Saturday. Six jobbers had one key each, but only one would start the ignition for the 2015 Chevy Silverado fully customized with TrailFX product.

Jobbers from Auto Additions (Westerville, Ohio), GEM Detailing & Accessories (Elkhart, Indiana), Gold Touch (South Charleston, West Virginia) Marv’s Speed & Auto (Herndon, Pennsylvania), and Tuff Truckin (Albany, Georgia) posed nervously for photographs before the giveaway. Cameras hovered and an audience of about 100 awaited the result.

The pecking order of who would try their key, first through last, was determined earlier. Cal Buckner from Tuff Truckin stepped into the drivers seat for the first try. Crank, crank-”roar! The engine started and instant pandemonium.

Buckner jumped from the truck and into the arms of his partner.

“When I drew the No. 1 key to go first, I thought ‘this is terrible, there’s no way I’m going home with this thing,” Buckner said. “It’s going to make a nice show truck in the shop.”

Standing nearby was Michael Wanegar from Gold Touch. He drew the No. 6 key to win the truck.

“Well, that was anti-climactic,” he said with a smile. “You never see the first key start it.”

Installed accessories on the truck included:

TrailFX HD Front Bumper with Hoop
TFX Recovery 10K Synthetic Winch
TrailFX Lighting 30″ Double Row LED Light Bar
