San Antonio's Mendez Family gets their own Reality TV show... "Texas Trocas"

One of the custom Peterbilts built by the Texas Chrome Shop.

I am sure we have all experienced driving down the highway and passing one of those glorious big rigs, giving them the standard arm gesture that is quickly followed by the often very loud TOOT of the air horn!

And while that is satisfaction enough, I often find myself intrigued by the massive amounts of wheels, chrome, lights and decorative paint that are these wheeled masterpieces.

The show, called “Texas Trocas”, will be a spanish-language show and will premiere on Sept. 15. Texas Chrome Shop is promoting the show this week at the Great American Trucking Show.
Raul Mendez, co-owner of Triple R Diesel and the Texas Chrome Shop, says each episode will show the transformation of a custom truck from start to finish. The other element of the show is the family’s interactions during the custom builds.

“Texas Trocas” will feature Raul and his brother Roland, along with their parents and their wives.
In each episode, a customer will come to the shop, present their ideas and needs for their truck, along with their budget and deadline for completion, and the shop will tear it down and build back the custom rig.
