Re: New copy of Custom Classic Trucks

I got my copy a day or so back ... very nice truck indeed. It said in the article he has started his own wheel company as well - Curtis Speed Equipment.

Looks like a winner to me.
Does anybody know if Mike drops in on these forums? Nah, he probably don't have time for chatting on forums...

ShowSS12,
That be him " with the funny lip". Story tells that he was in a real bad car wreck with one of Boyd's sons @ Bonneville and had to have surgery and has plates in his face.

Re: New copy of Custom Classic Trucks

I agree with Killer 71. With all the chrome, i would have left the side markers. I would like to see it with rear sport bumper also. NICE truck.

He doesn't get much camera time, but if you watch overhaulin' you can usually spot him in the background or at the end when they're thanking everybody.

Very nice ride.

dude, I would LOVE to have Truck Builder magazine but I have never seen it in a store and I have looked hard for over a year. Would love to flip thru it sometime.

I think CCT & CT are both great mags simply because you can find them at practically every drug store, grocery store and Wal Mart on the face of the earth.
