'71 Cheyenne Magazine Article - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking at the magazine I did the spotter's guide for I thought there was something familiar about this feature. I usually know all the writer's names- even their pen names they use when working for other companies. Tony James seemed familiar and then I remembered THAT"S ME! My middle name is Anthony so I just switched things around a little. There's also a mention of my old truck at the beginning of the story and its use of 18 & 20-inch Americans.

Jim, that's funny. I looked at the byline before I read your post, and wondered who the heck was that? None of the guys I remember in the biz.

I wrote Tailgate pretty much by myself, and then signed bylines like Rudolf Zitler, Aaron Von Buttwaffle, Hip-hop Sing, etc. and then didn't have to take the blame for all of the stupid stuff I was writing... I don't think anyone got past the photos, anyways.

Good luck with the Barris book! One of the hardest parts is going to be making money at it.

You are supposed to make money at it John? No one ever told me that! Now it's going to make it so much harder!!! LOL!

Wow.
Nice truck!
That is my dream truck ('72 Cheyenne Super actually,... but I'd take a '71).
Throw some 20's up front and a pair of red taillights and it would be perfect!

So simple & subtle, exactly what it takes to achieve the cool factor!!!
