Wanna get featured in Classic Trucks?
I'm heading up to Las Vegas in two weeks looking for trucks to feature in Classic Trucks. Naturally 67-72 Chevy C10, or GMC but anything Chevy, Ford, or Dodge from 1940-1987 can be considered.
Also will be going from Vegas to North of Frisco, then heading back down the coast to OC. Please PM me with what you have, or post what you have in this thread, and I'll contact you. Thanks, John G. |

Re: Wanna get featured in Classic Trucks?
I was lucky enough to have a photo shoot with Chuck Vranas back in September. I can't wait for the feature to come out!

Just in case I'm wrong: I'll tell you what, we list where the truck owners are from in the article and in the Facts & Figures chart. In your spare time go online to www.ClassicTrucks.com or dig through a stack of magazines and tally it all up. Thanks, John |

I'm heading to Nor Cal from Vegas, I'll stop in Atw@ter on the way back home. This is starting to look like a major bunch of miles. The wheels are falling off my GMC, maybe I can wrangle a new Silverado from GM's press fleet to do a road test? Best, John |

Re: Wanna get featured in Classic Trucks?
Yeah, that's a better shot. the other picture made it look like an old Dodge Power Wagon. CT doesn't feature 4x4s in the print edition, but we're kicking out the jambs on what we're doing with our website.
I'll shoot it for web feature if you're cool with that? PM me your contact info. You guys did a great job! Black, that's some balls for doing paint. Only the folks that have seen a project all the way to the end know what its all about. Thanks, John |

Re: Wanna get featured in Classic Trucks?
This weekend I'm going to install and "first start" my new engine and trans "refreshed" 1968 C10 i've had for 20 years now... since I was 14. The "green machine" as it is affectionately known. Started acquiring parts and slowly rebuilding it as a "survivor" since October, including a new 350 and 200-4r... Should be well running by 2 weeks
It's not a show truck, just a very loved, surviving C10. Only pic, crappy, from my cell... http://i.imgur.com/ajna6NI.jpg edit: switched to a clickable link since the pic is big |
