That truck singlehandedly inspired me to get into C10's. Never knew anything else about it, just had the photo.

RIP bud =\

Re: Sad News

67chev I'm not sure it was a cover truck but it sure was featured. Beautiful truck. Kinda wish I had joined this board sooner and maybe met more of you by now. I feel this may be an inappropriate time to ask, but who was El jay? I see more than a few members with rip eastsidelowlife and rip el jay. Must have meant alot to the board for so many to honor him in their signatures. Tia.
