My junk is in Car Craft!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well its just a small picture in the letters section, but it will be as close as I ever get to magazine coverage!!

Its in the Dec 09 issue in the letters section. I took that picture while I had the truck in there working on cleaning all the rust up to hopefully slow it down.

I'm sure it maybe kinda dumb, but this just made my day! Heck it will probably be the coolest thing thats happened to me all year!!

that's very cool I think it would make anyone's day to see there truck they have been working on even though its a small part of the truck

**N2TRUX** · 10-08-2009, 07:49 AM

That rocks

STOCKISH · 10-08-2009, 08:06 AM

Thats cool as hell. I'd be happy if my truck was in the background of a picture of a car they shot for the mag.

JohnC · 10-08-2009, 08:31 AM

Yeah man that's way cool.

bluex · 10-08-2009, 05:27 PM

Ya I have been going around showing everyone. They look at me like I'm a werido or something. Guess its a car guy thing??

My son was just as excited as I am! I going to have to go buy another copy b/c I think this one will get messed up showing it off.

JohnC · 10-08-2009, 06:01 PM

Heck yeah man buy several copies. Shoot I would frame one!

I'm glad you said that, I had the same idea, but thought that maybe over the top for just a letter. Think I will do it now, it will look cool in the garage anyway.

JohnC · 10-09-2009, 09:50 AM

Some people will think that. "Why did you frame that?" Others, like most of us on here, will say " Wow cool that's your truck in that magazine. Awesome man, wish mine was in one!" We're a different breed man.

I did the same thing when a truck I built got featured. I ruined one copy taking it everywhere with me for a week. Cool for you!

harnalien · 10-09-2009, 02:02 PM

That's cool! I should show my wife so I can convince her that all the time/money will be worth it!

JohnC · 10-09-2009, 03:19 PM

Harnalien there are plenty of examples here on the board we can show her. We got your back, unless she starts throwing things
