Re: I drove Reggie Jackson's '68 C10 yesterday
Yeah, it really has been a dream job. The only problem is the publishers know this, and figure you'd probably do the job for free. So its never been a job that paid well in comparison to real jobs like Burger King, or hanging out in front of Home Depot.
For you guys that would like to try a hand at it, send Reader's Rides pictures to any of the truck magazines with a short story. The odds are good it will get published I know they're always looking for Reader's Rides, with a good story they can quote. |

I ain't naming names, but trust me there's some magazine editors you'd never want to get caught in an elevator with. Especially after a cabbage burrito with a deviled-egg milkshake.

I know the type... the ones that make you feel like you got nasal herpes and skunk juice mouthwash at the same time.

Re: I drove Reggie Jackson's '68 C10 yesterday
LOL! Tailgate,wasn't that a T&A mag that had trucks?
![]() ![]() That '68 is B-A-utiful! I just had to wonder why the chassis wasn't cleaned up. Was he concerned about splattering up the original engine compartment,etc? Maybe it just comes down to being 100% unmolested,even down to original build up.

Re: I drove Reggie Jackson's '68 C10 yesterday
Yeah I can see why nobody liked Tailgate Magazine!
I don't really like mini trucks anymore either! ![]() Or chopped tops! BTW congrats on getting to drive a real piece of history.

Re: I drove Reggie Jackson's '68 C10 yesterday
I would rather look at chicks than a product being showcased in a magazine. For instance, "How to install a CPP C-Notch" I do not need a magazine article to explain it, don't it come with instructions? I like articles for the "do-it-yourselfer", just like John wrote up recently about changing door locks, vent window handles, etc.

I faced my fears when I did that article, and everything went really great, and I hope it helped some of you guys. Don't buy the magazine, the story is on CCT's website in the tech section. And hey, thanks for the feedback... On Tailgate, and CCT. |

Working for a magazine is fun right up to finding out your girlfriend's son makes more money than you, and he didn't go to college... On the other hand what am I complaining about, that picture of the girl in the pink bikini? I took that while I was in Dallas visiting a girl that was way too pretty to be around me. The girl in pink bikini was one of her girlfriends... I love Texas! |

Re: I drove Reggie Jackson's '68 C10 yesterday
I'm with Leddzepp,I'd rather read instructions on how to install something on those Gidgets. Oh darn...sheesh.That ain't even right,man. Strike that. I'm s'poda know that by now. I really meant to say I'd like to read about more one-off touches,like those that don't come with instructions. Shoot,that sounds like I'm back to the girls again. Seems to be the way,huh?
