Got my copy in the mail yesterday. Both his and his wifes trucks are looking good as always. Congrats on getting some ink guys!

**GSFMECH** · 01-27-2009, 04:55 PM

Congrats Chris your wait is over.

**special-K** · 01-27-2009, 08:53 PM

Well alright!Chris said they were going in some issue coming up.where`s the best place to find that mag?I`m not sure where I got it the few times I have.

our Wally world carries the mag.....

It's the April issue guys.

Double page spread wouldn't fit the scanner.

The editor must really have liked your style to run such a high number of pages and pics for two trucks (apparently he has good taste

). The last coverage I saw from the Nats in Maggie Valley was only two pages and eleven pics.

Again, Congrats on hitting the stands bro! Kudos to the editors from Classic Trucks for recognizing class and style when they see it and carrying it on to print.

bigguy69 · 01-28-2009, 06:04 PM

congrats!

Number98 · 01-28-2009, 06:07 PM

It's great to see board members getting some exposure!

texanidiot25 · 01-28-2009, 06:25 PM

Congrats, waitin on mine in the mail!

67ChevyRedneck · 01-28-2009, 06:30 PM

I always get my stuff after everyone else... checked the mail today and no magazine...

Congrats

Was the board mentioned in the article?

big_al_71 · 01-28-2009, 07:07 PM

SeeTen thanks for posting the picts...I am going to see if I can find the mag in wallmart....

tcb-1 · 01-28-2009, 07:11 PM

WOW, we have celebrities among us!!!! MAJOR PROPS!!!!!

mr48chev · 01-28-2009, 07:43 PM

I just pulled mine out of the mailbox on the way to work. Great article an story.

Good going kids and congrats on having the trucks in the magazine.

The whole magazine looks to have trucks that can be and are actually driven featured in it this time.

68GMCCustom · 01-28-2009, 09:39 PM

Haven't gotten mine yet...but have to laugh that it's not even February yet and they're mailing out the April's CT magazine.

powell72 · 01-28-2009, 10:34 PM

Thanks everyone, my wife and I couldn't get to the newsstand fast enough yesterday when we found out. Brett (dirtball) called and said there was a thread about it so we motored to get a copy. I was really amazed to see pretty much six pages devoted to it.

Tim, it's early enough that you can't get it at a Barnes and Noble or Wally World yet.

Two unfinished trucks in a mag, just goes to show avoiding hard work DOES pay off.

BB72CHEVKT · 01-29-2009, 11:44 AM

I saw this thread yestarday and thought it was about his previous pictures in the same mag. I did not realize til I got home it was a full blown write up on both trucks. My 72 SWB will be real a close couisin of yours except with a big block. Your trucks look great. Congradulations.

Ole Blue 68 · 01-29-2009, 12:28 PM

Yeah, I got mine in the mail the other day...or more correctly, I got the front and back cover; everything else was MIA. Arggh!

I hate the USPS.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-29-2009, 12:28 PM

Congrats to the both of you.

Kid · 01-29-2009, 07:14 PM

congrats Powell 72, looks like Grant treated you real good! As I've said before nice rides! I'm hoping to get to Colo. good guys again this year, this time I hope we get a a chance to chat. Still waiting for my copy so I can read the full article

67_C-30 · 01-29-2009, 11:19 PM

Congrats Chris. I'll have to pick up the mag this weekend!

**special-K** · 01-30-2009, 09:41 AM

Thanks for the pictures,Asa.Especially since my non-magazine subscribing self has to wait.I told Walmart,"But I know that dude off the internet".Didn`t even phase them...go figure.
