I also saw your truck in Street Trucks for a show someplace in Texas.

I have heard a lot about the Dustoff show. Looks like a great show from the pics I have seen.

Congrats!

Congrads!!! Wish they had pictures of a burnout. :metal:

Congratulations, Ken! That's awesome. :metal:

That is Awesome Ken!! Good Job!

Ah well, congrats anyway! Again!

Congrats Ken, just got my issue in the mail today, I was excited to see somebody's truck that I "kinda" know in the mag. Looks great as always.

I knew I had seen that Handle "N2TRUX" somewhere :confused: Nice truck good to see a board member make the big time :D

Congrats Ken! That truck is sweet! I love the fine line balance between retro and custom...you guys around here are giving me some ideas....lol.

I would like to know more about the airbag set up though...maybe some pics and prices to help me ponder the build for that 79 2wd K5 i aquired.

Congrats bro, that is probably the best lookin 77 I have ever seen. I love it. It's really cool that there was a little "plug" for the website in the article. I noticed the N2TRUX as the title of the article, and I was like, no way that's the N2TRUX that posts here....I knew for sure when I saw the website in the article. I also think that classic trucks should include more 73-87 trucks. Even some 73-79 fords....don't knock me my grandpa had one. It's not our fault chevy kept the same lookin truck for 14 years. Maybe just keep it to the 70's models for a few more years? Anyway, congrats!

:metal: Congrats Ken the truck looks sweet :metal:

I know this is kind of old news but I just have to say that is the baddest truck I have seen. Exactly how I want to do mine only I am going two tone. Maybe yellow and white. I am impressed and you are a 73-87 truck god great work.

just got the mag today(little slow to recive it due to snow)congrats on your tuck Ken :metal: very nice lookin too.I am more of a 67-72 guy but that truck is the best one i have seen from the later years

Since this is the bottom of another page, I thought I better say "Thank you" again for all the awesome compliments.



longhorn71- I love the 67-72's myself so I know what you mean. I have wanted a truck like this since I saw one brand new sitting on the dealers lot in 1976. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I could find one like the one I used to drool on and had the money to buy it.

I was flippin through mags at Wal-Mart and saw your truck, bought the mag. Didnt even see this thread yet!

Nice truck, Congrads!

Congrats, Ken. Just picked up the mag today. Great write-up on your truck. I hope this will a new trend for Classic Trucks. In the editorial, the editor mentions them showing more middle to late 70's trucks.

it took me awhile to find that issue but I got it today. Very nice truck Ken. Like others I like the way you did your truck, custom but not too over done.

Thanks. Too bad I can never leave things alone ;) Yes that is the case.





A couple of people have asked how all this happened. I thought I would take a minute to give y'all the "rest of the story"...

I talked with Kevin Lee 6 months ago when he was still the editor. He told me then that they planned to change the year break and start using 73 and later trucks. That was when he expressed interest in shooting a feature on my 77.

A month later Rob Fortier emailed me saying he would be taking Kevins place as editor and wanted to set up a feature shoot. That's when we realized that my truck would be in Dallas the same weekend they would be there to cover the Ft. Worth Goodguys show.

I got a lucky break when Air Ride Technologies called Stoked Out Specialties looking for a vehicle to use in their booth at Goodguys. My buddies at Stoked Out suggested my truck which allowed get inside the show since Goodguys has a 1972 cut off at that show. Jeremy Cook found me at the show and shot the feature.

As someone already stated this was the first 73+ truck to be featured in Classic Trucks. According to everything I have been told it won't be the last.... :metal:

I think most of us know what that is like. I'm kind of scared what will happen to my "mild" plans for my truck. (once I get one again...lol) They'll probably be thrown out the window and I'll end up with a truck that will take half my life to "finish." ;)

My last project was a turbo'd 408 Gen III engine going into my old 2001 GMC RCSB 4x4 :cool: But the truck is gone now so that engine is on hold at the moment...

.....and the pics are where? :confused:

:wop:

Pics of what? The truck or the engine? The truck looked stock because the money was going into the engine. And the engine was/is still being built up when the truck got totaled. If you want engine pics I can try to get some from the shop that has it.
