Re: What started it all...
Seems like phantom grills were the style back in the day. My brother in law had one in his s10 in the 90s

Re: What started it all...
I remember the truck very well, also got me started. Sad it was wrecked, but it's day had definitely come and gone. Would have been nice if it remained just like the magazine for nostalgia sake. I've seen many trucks with a similar paint scheme, and even a couple that didn't know where they got the idea it just "looked cool". That's influence!

Re: What started it all...
Guy's Chevy got me to buy mine but the truck in ? got me to modifing mine. It was a plain Jane when I bought it back in 1986. Now it's modified how I wanted it to be. Old school look with modern drive train.The article was in fact in Truckin' mag. What issue I have no idea. I have it some where though.
