Just wondering what everyone's favorite magazine was the best at showing nice pictures as well as great how to articles on the 73-87 Chevys? I like Truckin' myself.....is there a magazine out there more dedicated to just older chevy trucks that i dont know of?

Used to get Chevy Truckin, but I don't think it's published anymore. The Truckin' mag usually has some cool square bodies in it. All the Classic truck mags only cover up to '72.

Did a search and found this.

"Sport Truck Magazine covers a range of light duty trucks, both 2 and 4 wheel drive, with special emphasis on performance. Features on customization and modification for the hands-on street truck enthusiast.

Note: Beginning with the July 2000 issue, Sport Truck encompasses Chevy Truck Magazine which has ceased publication"

Found this also:

"Custom Classic Trucks Magazine features articles and tips on restoring and modifying vintage pickup, panel, sedan deliveries, and full-size American trucks manufactured before 1988. "

Chevy Truck mag used to be the only one who actually did our trucks justice. It was a bi-monthly mag. But man, was it great. As stated, Sport Truck mag bought it out and then stopped it dead in it's tracks. Sucks too.

Personally, I don't buy any of the mags now. They are all nothing but ads. They don't cover our trucks anyway. And who cares about all this new junk they are making?

I have a 78 GMC truck. I bought it to use for work,and it was in bad shape when i got it. I will have to get a picture of it to put on here. I have put new rockers and jap doors on it that the previous owner had already bought for it,and jc whitney cab corners. Also put a bed from an 85 chevy on it. Its not a show truck or anything,but looks 10 times better than when i first got it. Just been fixing little things otherwise. Has factory a/c,but that needs work. Is there any good place to get parts for our trucks that you know of around central indiana?

Truckin' has had a 73-87' C10 feature every month for nearly the last year!

we need to get some features in Chevy Hi Performance or something. i think Matt's truck would make it, and Ryan's might after the 408 goes in.

there was a girl with a nice black stepper in the readers ride's section of CHP a while back. very attractive girl, i'll post the pic if i can find it.
