classic trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mooneyes · 03-15-2003, 10:46 PM

......the new classic trucks magazine has an awsome article where they interview Harry Bradley..the man who designed the 67 chevy pickup.....its a must read!!!.............its the May edition

toms68cst · 03-15-2003, 11:22 PM

Is that the same interview that Jim Aust did for Sport Truck magizine a couple of years back?

He sounds like a very interesting man. He is a great designer.

mooneyes · 03-15-2003, 11:43 PM

must be.. Jim Aust did do the interview

supercheyenne · 03-16-2003, 12:58 AM

that sucks....... recycling articles?

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 03-16-2003, 01:15 AM

I am still waiting on my issue its allways late that sounds verry intresting if not for him there might not be a 67-72 board

PanelDeland · 03-16-2003, 02:03 PM

Recycling articles has become so commonplace in mags that it is unbelievable.I read several mags a month and it seems like all of them do it.I realize that the readers want info on stuff but for those of us that read several it is really dissapointing to find another article that I've already read instead of a photo spread on a 67-72 Chevy.I read
1) Classic Trucks
2) Hot Rod
3)Custom Classic Trucks
4)Super Chevy
5)Rod & Custom
6)Chevy High Performance
7)Custom Rodder
8)Super Rod
9)Street Rodder
10)Car Craft
11)Southern Rodder
I have subscriptions to these and Mechanics Illustrated and pick up special Chevelle,Camaro,Nova, and truck publications as I find them

Project1970 · 03-16-2003, 02:14 PM

Can anyone scan this in or transcribe it somehow?

hobby67stepside · 03-16-2003, 02:34 PM

I think an outfit called Primedia bought a lot of these publications from the old names (Petersen for example) and they do share some of the stories for the different magazines. Less input cost for each issue I guess!

supercheyenne · 03-16-2003, 03:31 PM

Hey PanelDeland.

Isn't Super Rod the sheeeit? Man I love that mag.

Erl · 03-17-2003, 02:22 PM

Just read that article myself. I thought it was very good.

ChevLoRay · 03-17-2003, 07:21 PM

That's the problem with a monopoly....which is why they were sued (Primedia).

One of the board members was the first to mention that Primedia had bought eMap/Petersen......almost a year before you saw the new editions. His wife worked for Primedia (previously McMullen/Argus, I believe).

I (for one) would like to see SOMEONE take ALL of the articles that have been published in the past 10 years, about the 67-72's, cull the redundent ones, and publish a nice, thick, hardbound book, complete with "How-to's", modifications, and feature some trucks, from stock as a stove to wild.

I think that there is a market for such a publication. Just think about all of them that have been done on the Mustang, Corvette, Camaro, T-Bird, etc. There is a market.

weasel29gm · 03-17-2003, 11:37 PM

Great story!! I know the mags run the same storys sometimes but I read em' anyway. Thats like April's Car Craft story on Paintin' at Home, same writer same story in 3 other issues in the last 3 yrs. But each one is different so i got a different view. Hey Deland try Chevy Rumble good readin' and alot of numbers on stuff.

I just got it today. Check out this console pic. The dash around the radio and heater controls is real smooth not recessed. The bezel has 4 knobs instead of 3 , the dash has the button on the upper left instead of the top center, the door panels are real padded, the console looks really cool!

70cst10_05 · 03-18-2003, 10:04 PM

you guys are talkin bout that article and nobody even mentions the awesome 67 in the last page.

68CST327 · 03-18-2003, 10:39 PM
