FROM THE EDITOR

YOU KNOW WHAT the great thing about our tightknit community is? We all understand that there’s more to life than fortune and fame. Sure, we can all benefit from a little admiration and respect from fellow peers and family members, but profit and prestige are hard commodities to gain nowadays, even if you do build award winning one-off trucks.

The vehicles we choose to feature are all unique with their own individual, owner-inspired details. Way more time, effort and money have been thrown into these projects than some people would ever expect. I mean, who starts a multi-year restoration project on a nearly 50-year-old rust-ridden Chevy without the financial means to finish it or an actual comprehension of how much effort it will actually take? Well this month’s feature stories are those types of guys. They’ve all either been there at one time or are still in the process of writing their story. Either way, it’s intriguing to us and I can sense that you feel the same way. Why else would you still be reading?

This builder’s guide is packed full of interesting C10-inspired technical articles, new product releases, behind-the-scenes tours and event coverage from around the country. We visit one of the leading aftermarket manufacturers in America, and we stop by the world-famous Dino’s Git Down for a weekend of barbecuing with Bow Ties. We continue with our 1965 Chevy C10 project known as

The Raven by installing a Painless Wiring harness, a new bed floor and some Eddie Motorsports bling. This is turning into a really fun resto-mod!

Spend some time flipping through the pages and dive into the articles our team has written up. Their storytelling is second to none, and our goal is to inspire you to join the crowd. The force is strong in our industry and we are here to help. Go buy a $1,500 truck and let’s get started!
