Premise
Each episode begins with the "Chrome Shop Mafia", a group of seasoned vehicle body shop mechanics, playing or having fun. Their foreman interrupts them and tells them about a trucker who deserves to have their truck (primarily a tractor unit) "tricked". The crew agrees to "trick" the truck. The foreman tells the audience about the trucker's occupation. The trucker's relatives and/or friends tell additional stories about them. The crew looks for the truck while the trucker is working. When they find it, they surprise the trucker and tell them they will "trick" their truck as requested by their relatives and/or friends. Then, they take the truck to their shop (Chrome Shop Mafia in Joplin, Missouri) and give the trucker a loaner truck from J. B. Hunt to drive in the meantime.
At the shop, the truck is "tricked" based on the trucker's occupations and/or hobbies. Modifications to the truck typically include new paint, accessories, and mechanical upgrades to tires, exhaust pipes, etc.
At the end of each episode, the trucker goes to the shop and is given a tour of their "tricked" truck.
In addition to tractor units, the crew has "tricked" pickup trucks and various specialty trucks such as dump trucks and an ice cream truck.
