whats a good magazine to subscribe to..... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

97guns · 07-07-2006, 09:01 PM

for info/articles pertaining to these years of truck?

krue · 07-07-2006, 09:12 PM

There's no real good choices, but I subscribe to Custom Classic Trucks and Classic Trucks, and of course, here.

This place has tons of good trucks, built mostly by the owners, and there's some really cool stuff going on around here.

put the money in your truck & give some $$$to Josh here,,no adgazine is worth the $$ nowadays,,brian

**Daubs** · 07-07-2006, 09:31 PM

I subscribe to 4Wheeler, Hot Rod and Car Craft. Granted, the last two aren't "truck" magazines, but I do learn a lot about restoring, rodding, engines, suspension, etc., from all three.

Shop around, sometimes you can find good deals on magazines...like 1/2 off subscription rates, or free for a year(?!!), stuff like that.

And keep with this board. I've learned tons from hanging around the great people on this forum!

jsbgump · 07-07-2006, 10:13 PM

I sub classic trucks

PanelDeland · 07-07-2006, 11:10 PM

I agree with the ones listed.Find some buddies and get a sub and give one.Lots of the mags run the specials like that for X-mas so you and a friend could have 2fer1.I sub to about 5-6 mags and find a lot of info in most of them.There is a lot of ads and many of the major ones are Primedia publications who tend to run a story in one then a couple months later they rewrite it and un it in another title.

powell72 · 07-07-2006, 11:12 PM

I subscribe to Classic Trucks because, well, I can't take my computer into the bathroom with me.

cdowns · 07-07-2006, 11:28 PM

the only magazine i get every month is from AARP

**Already Gone** · 07-08-2006, 09:46 AM

I agree with Krue, this site is your best spot to get ideas and help cause whatever you want to do to or with your truck, at least 3 people have done it before and are more than willing to share their knowledge and experiences. As far as magazines go, Classic Trucks and Custom Classic Trucks are the two best mags with articles on our trucks.

mtndewmaniac66 · 07-08-2006, 11:01 AM

I personally like Classic Trucks and Super Chevy. Both of these magazines help me out once in a while, but as others had stated on this thread, this site is THEEEEEE #1 source for all of your information. PLUS!!! you have the added bonus of having instant access here for pictures and information, as to a magazine, you have to wait a month, or go through piles of older rags. (if you can even remember which issue it was in)
Just my $.02 worth.

glock35ipsc · 07-08-2006, 11:07 AM

Classic Trucks, Custom Classic Trucks, and Truck Builder.

Hey Chris - Do what I did...... I set up my DSL with a wireless network. Now my laptop can go the the bathroom, to the shop, the deck.......

pebbleboy · 07-08-2006, 02:51 PM

I get Classic trucks Street Trucks and MINITruckin

corn · 07-08-2006, 08:17 PM

I get "Classic Trucks" & I will renew it again because I know the editor from a bike board & like his style. I like how they are leaning more towards the old ratty hot rod stuff lately too. But, this is still the BEST place to get info on 67-72 stuff, period...corn

powell72 · 07-08-2006, 09:36 PM

Bob, if I was on the computer that much or in the bathroom that much my wife would slap me all up and down the house, just ask Brett.

Thats what I do as well, Custom Classic Trucks and Classic Trucks have more pics and info on our year trucks than any others that I have seen.

wibilly · 07-10-2006, 12:09 AM

i recently subscribed to clasic trucks, i'm not impressed at all. i think this sight is way more informitive and if you have a question you can get it answered here rather quickly

Sweet72 · 07-10-2006, 12:48 AM

Too many ads. in the slick mags. I just come here to get all the opinions and facts from guys who really know these trucks and have forgotten more than the mag. writers ever knew. No need to sift through all the B.S. from guys who really think they know what the hell they're talking about, but would rather feed you a line of crap.

subtle71 · 07-10-2006, 01:02 AM

1. Classic Trucks
2. Custom Classic Trucks
3. Sport Truck
4. StreetTrucks
5. Truck Builder

These are the ones I subscribe to and recommend.

raiders3581 · 07-10-2006, 02:11 AM

i subscibe to classic truck in part because they show more chevys than any other truck and also they get to explain on a monthly basis that to ford and dodge owners that their trucks arent as purdy as our trucks.

krue · 07-10-2006, 04:39 AM

Ya'll keep mentioning "Truck Builder". I've never heard of them.
