Just a note for you to pass on to your editor for improvement of "Truck Builder" and the other mags. Page 19 of the October issue.I'm sure I'm not the only 'experienced' reader of your mag.I really like the in depth step by step tech in it.I enjoy the show coverage.I like the trucks featured.I even pretty much agree with the editorial or not but value others input into developing my own.I just got to tell you that my old eyes don't seem to be able to pick out the print when you put it over the part of the picture that is under the tailgate.The picture of the pavement makes that part of the story unreadable for me.I'm sure there are others who have the same problem.

BTW this isn't the first time I've noticed that but I don't remember if it was in "Truck Builder"

Keep up the good work and quit hiding the story.Thanx for a great mag!!!

I`ve had that problem in other magazines.You`d think it would be a major no-no.I know squeezing it all in is the name of the game.But,pointless if it can`t be read.

Any of "our" magazines, regardless of which one it is, is "guilty" of having the verbage laid out on top of pavement. When it is a gravelly texture in the pic, and the type is white and small, it's tough. The use of black isn't always easy to read, either. I think all of the mag editors should be made to understand how much of an issue this is for some folks.

Thanks for broaching this topic.
