Corvette Expo 2026 & Chevys in the Smokies Take Over Pigeon Forge
The Great Smoky Mountains are famous for the blue haze that gives the range its name—but during the 49th Annual Corvette Expo 2026 and Chevys in the Smokies, the mountains were a little smokier than usual. Some of that haze came from cammed-up V8s, hot rubber, and thousands of horsepower rolling into Pigeon Forge for one of the biggest Chevrolet performance events in the region.
TUNNELED, NOT FRENCHED
Street rod trends are constantly changing. What once looked good now seems dated, and so it will someday be for today’s cutting-edge look. Eventually, some of these trends come back into vogue—hence the birth of terms like newstalgia. Other aspects of this hobby never change; the tires are still round and cars take up more of our time and money than we’d like to admit.

With the popularity explosion of the GM Squarebody, finding one that’s affordable and in decent shape is getting harder by the day. A great alternative to the Squarebody is the OBS “old body style” generation (1988-1998) of GM trucks. Many consider these trucks as being the next big thing.
Expanding on their wildly successful Street & Performance Series of steering gears, Borgeson Universal now offers the only quick ratio power steering box to replace the Delphi 800 series in the 1988-1998 Chevrolet and GMC OBS trucks. This all-new power steering box has a quick 12.7:1 ratio with firm modern steering feel. The Borgeson Street & Performance power steering box will bolt directly to the stock location and fit to the original power steering pitman arm, steering shaft and power steering hoses.
All Borgeson power steering boxes are assembled and tested in the USA from globally sourced components and have a 3 year warranty. To learn more, go to Borgeson’s website or call 860-482-8283.
