Change is inevitable over 37-plus years, but the Ozark Mountain Run has stood the test of time. This show, currently nestled between two classy Branson Missouri Motels, creates an environment not found at any other F-100 show. wasn’t merely a display of vehicular marvels; it was a testament to the power of community. Celebrating its 5th anniversary, the Snake River Truck Show has grown into an event that brings together the heart and soul of the trucking world.

The Friday evening before the show is a memorable one. With cold drinks in hand, F-100 enthusiasts from all states and backgrounds gather together in the cool night air to just talk trucks. The motels booked out this year. Parking spaces were looking sparse already. People were ready to display their prized Ford trucks at their favorite show.

Saturday morning arrived, and we saw a line of F-100s already. The locals arrived, and the show was about to begin. The sound of Ford muscle rumbled throughout the show as people found an open space. As the temperature rose, so did the canopies, but luckily this show is shaded by many trees.

Slick Side models seem to be the majority here in the Ozarks, and this year was no different. However, towering 4x4s were the crowd favorite this year; Highboys of all types among mint show trucks and rat rods showed up in full force. This show brings out an impressive diversity for an event once founded by Show-Me F-100s—a 1953-’56 F-series pickup truck club. After 35 years, seven locations, and three owners, there is a long history of dedicated people who have kept this show coming back every year no matter what.

After some BBQ and a stroll past the booths, it was time for the truck games such as “Slow Drag,” “Stop on a Dime,” and “Drive By Toss” to begin. This is a tradition that sets this show apart. Some buzz in the air, did I hear sirens? The cops had arrived. Not to worry—just some boys in blue who came out to appreciate these steel beauties. The cops couldn’t resist lighting up the sirens for the kids.

The DJ played our favorite truck show tunes and led us through trophy time! As we all gathered with chairs in hand, the announcement was made. The show will be moving to Branson Towers Hotel at 236 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, in Branson, Missouri.
