The bright lights of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway “Strip” grew a little brighter for Susanville’s Mike Jabbs, co-owner of Superior Auto Body, as he and his family traveled to Vegas for the prestigious C10 Nationals, where their stunning 1973 Chevy Cheyenne Super 10 secured the title of Runner-Up for “Truck of the Year 73-87.”
The event, held April 10th and 11th, is a massive pilgrimage for Chevy and GMC enthusiasts. This year’s meet brought together thousands of spectators and drivers from across the country for an all-Chevy showcase that pushed high-performance engineering to the limit.
The C10 Nationals is more than just a typical car show; it is an immersive experience for truck lovers. Over the two-day event, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway was packed with Auto Cross and Drag Racing, Dyno Competitions, Burnout Competitions and a Show and Shine where the meticulous detail of Jabbs’ Cheyenne Super 10 stood out against the toughest competition in the nation.
The weekend culminated in a spectacular Track Cruise, where hundreds of trucks took a victory lap around the iconic Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Competing in the 1973–1987 class—one of the most popular eras for truck restoration—is no small feat. Out of a massive field of entries, the Jabbs family’s 1973 Chevy Cheyenne Super 10 was singled out for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
Congratulations to Mike Jabbs and his family on their successful showing in Las Vegas! The photos below show the ‘before and after’ of Jabbs’ restoration.
