Truckin magazine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblock73 · 01-15-2005, 12:17 AM

Hey folks, if you haven't already picked up the latest issue of Truckin magaize...go get one! It is focused on the "square bodies", or as we know them, the 73-87's. There are at least three C10's in there (Including Jason Hills Blazer), and a "why you should buy a 73-87" article. Great reading!

CAP11 · 01-15-2005, 02:16 AM

Gotta get a copy of that one. Thanks for the info.

bye bye cheaper parts.... lol

twoodson · 01-15-2005, 03:41 AM

Got mine in the mail today as well Jeff and this is what I am talking about. Truckin' should feature at least one 73-87 "square body" every month. This is what it is all about.. Mylilbowtie is right, bye bye cheaper parts. Everybody go out and cop that magazine when it hits newsstands.. Peace!!!!

Still waiting for my issue to arrive.

Mike76251 · 01-15-2005, 06:25 AM

Thanks for the tip!
Gotta read that.

bigblock73 · 01-15-2005, 11:48 AM

I mis-spoke, the title of the article is "the advantages to building a 73-87"...but still good reading none the less.

There is a blue and white '77 in that article, and other than the color and wheels...looks identical to Kens truck (style wise).

TrainD5115 · 01-15-2005, 02:14 PM

But we all like Ken's better

Actually, that blue one is I BELIEVE a 74, and it's a Factory 454. That's what I hope my truck looks like

It think it says "77" in the caption, and it has the one year only yellow/gold trim...making it a '77.

You are correct, it's a 1977.

Blue Beard · 01-19-2005, 10:02 PM

To me even the sq bodies have ideas...

bigblock73 · 01-19-2005, 11:11 PM

Ken, I updated the main page on www.73-87.com

Check it out.

benscool1 · 01-20-2005, 12:20 AM

That blue and white 77 is exactly what my dads 77 Scottsdale looked like before he sold it, only his wasn't slammed :P

alpha_male0203 · 01-20-2005, 12:38 AM

Hey, at least I got the 454 with Original A/C right! haha That's all that counts, right?

8t5Silverado · 01-20-2005, 10:02 PM

I guess I cancelled my subscription too soon.

Truckin' has too many "over the top, rainbow painted Toyotas and 88+ Chevy's" for my taste.

I am kind of partial to Custom Classic Trucks. You will find though, if you stop reading these mags every month, you will spend less on your ride.

Blue Beard · 01-20-2005, 10:32 PM

Just got this issue this afternoon...
