I think that the postal lady kept mine. Anxiously awaiting....
Props to you both

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

I received mine... Sweet!!! Congrats!!! How long did it take from the photo shoot till the mag came out?? It took them like a year before mine came out... I started to think it wasn't going to happen then BAM.. there it was! What a great feeling!!

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

Thank you, yes it is a good feeling. It took seven months, the show was the first week of June, Grant said in normally takes six months to a year and a half for features to run.

Kid, we'll have to swap numbers this year if you come out so we don't miss each other. Grant is a great guy, we talked with him all three days of the show, for quite a while each time.

I'll post the pics I have of the photo shoot when I get a chance.

Congrats again Powell

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

Thanks again to everyone for the compliments, we really do appreciate it.

Nate, here's a pic of the longbed-

The wheels on it are the ones I traded for my truck. It had a semi custom interior and a 468BB. I ended up only using part of the money I got from it for my trans, the rest needed to go to our wedding, not the wife's decision, but mine.

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

WOW!
I love the longbed. Did a member get it?
Congrats again,... I just got my magazine yesterday.
Your blue and white swb has been a board favorite of mine for a long time.

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

No, I sold it to someone just south of Denver, they said they did paint and body for a living, it was a good truck for someone in that profession, that was about all it needed. I needed a quick sale so I sold it for $4500 in '04.

Thanks for your compliments, I'd trade you for your Blazer in a heartbeat though!

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

I'd like to take advantage of you being in a "trading mood",... but I think I will die with the blazer. Everything else,... has a price.
What did you do "suspension wise" on your old long bed. It sets good!
Also what year was it?. I like the 71-72 grill with the 67-70 smooth front bumper.

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

Thanks for posting that pic Chris. Your old LWB was a pretty sweet truck, and it looks like a steal @ $4500. I think you definitely got the better end of the trade, when you traded the wheels! :D

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

so does that powell lady come on here or something? Also powell 72 that truck in your profile pic looks different from the one you uploaded

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

The longbed in post #40 is the one he sold. The blue/white one in his avatar is the one that was in the magazine and the one he has now :D

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

I don't blame you a bit for hanging on to the Blazer!

My old truck was a '72, actually it was a factory BB Highlander. I bagged it before there were kits on the market for these trucks(that I knew of). It had ECE spindles, firestone bags, and custom made upper plates and lower cups with Toxic shocks on the front. Aired out the tires sat on the inner fenders.
The rear had a custom C-notch, ECE piston style bags(overpriced, but they ride way nice), ECE Super Track Bar, 2'' lowering blocks and toxic shocks. When it was aired out the diff touched the underside of the bed, it was a big notch. The system was controlled by an Air Ride Technologies four way system.

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

Any plans for bags on the two trucks you have now?

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

I think I'm going to keep my truck static, but we have tossed around the idea of bagging the wife's.

Re: Powells pickups hit Classic Trucks!
 

I think your wifes truck would look sweet with bags and a set of Radir Wheels.
I want a set of satin Radirs for my '69 swb.
