Well done, congrats to you and a great truck.....

dwcsr · 08-03-2008, 01:04 AM

From the very first pictures you posted everyone thought you would end up on at least one cover.

Daniel U · 08-03-2008, 02:34 AM

It's all been said over and over, but it bears repeating:"Congratulations!"

CAL 58 GMC · 08-03-2008, 03:49 PM

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming response!!! I really was wondering if it was ever going to make it in let alone the cover since the photos were taken last March. I finally got my copy in the mail and took it camping with me over the weekend and I’m proud to say I looked it over all weekend..lol.

68GMC454 · 08-04-2008, 05:21 PM

pgf545 · 08-04-2008, 11:57 PM

Hey Cal, Congrats on the cover!!!!!!!!!!! I know you said on another post that we gave you the inspiration to go on .....but you have been keeping me going on my projects. Thanks.

Hey Poncho, If I see one of those pop ups selling screen savers with my truck on it your going to have to pay me royalties!

With all due respect to all of you GMC guy's, I like the Chevy clip better. So you may ask why didn't I just buy a Chevy instead? Will that's a long story in self.

Your build is one of the finest I have ever seen. I revisit your posts often for inspiration and ideas. You deserve every accolade you get.

I bought my mag off the newstand wrapped in plastic with the '09 calendar inside. Not sure if you'll get it that way in the mail though?
