CMT Gears Up With Eight New Episodes of the Popular Makeover Series Premiering July 20


NASHVILLE – July 10, 2007 – CMT’s popular big rig makeover series, TRICK MY TRUCK, returns with a third season premiering on Friday, July 20 at 9:30 p.m., ET/PT. The Chrome Shop Mafia are back with more semi-truck renovations, but this season the mafia push their creativity to a new level as they try their hand at updating a tow truck, a pick-up truck and even an ice cream truck for their deserving drivers. A special episode of TRICK MY TRUCK features trucker Dale Hayden, who recently lost his mother to breast cancer, with a truck transformed into a moving tribute in her honor.

This season’s first episode of TRICK MY TRUCK features Robert LaGrange, from Blanchard, Okla. who became a truck driver after a successful naval career aboard a nuclear submarine. A family illness forced LaGrange to truck long hours in order to make ends meet, so the Chrome Shop Mafia step in to transform his 2001 Freightliner into a truck that would make any sailor proud.
