New issue of Classic Trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Big D · 08-02-2007, 10:52 PM

Anybody else seen the October issue of Classic Trucks? Theres a sweet 69 GMC SWB and a 70 Blazer on the cover. Both are very sweet rides.

Are They owned by Board Members by any chance?

Nope haven't seen it yet but I will be looking out for it.

Got it today in the mail. That blazer is killer, don't think either owner is a board member though.

Wasn't aware of this magazine....but I just subscribed! Custom Classic Trucks too!

Thanks!

Classic Trucks and Custom Classic Trucks are both owned by Primedia and are essentially "sister" magazines.

I like 'em both

Holdovers until you pick it up...

Just got it today in the mail ---- stoked to see a GMC getting some love in print like that

although, correct me if i'm wrong, but haven't pictures of that truck been circulating on the board for a few months?

I hope the dude doesn't mind me stealing his idea and pwdercoating my grille anthracite as well --- it matches the color of my TT2 ST's

As far as the interior though (look away -- just look away) ---- i think i will be happy with a highly detailed stock dash in lieu of housing the gauges in a relocated glovebox door (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I don't care for all of the tweed in the GMC either, but all around two very nice rides

I like the grill on the GMC. How was that done? A chrome grill with a powdercoated center?

I didn't catch the hood mod on the pickup until I read the article. Welded in the center section of a 98 model hood.
