THE ONLY WAY TO STAY ALIVE IN THIS DYING WORLD OF PRINT PUBLICATIONS IS TO CONSISTENTLY PUBLISH UNIQUE AND ACCURATE STORIES THAT ARE RELATABLE TO ONE PORTION OF OUR AUDIENCE, YET INCONCEIVABLE TO THE OTHER. The editors of the past would agree that a team of dedicated, like-minded individuals with a passion for print and a love for custom trucks is the only way our brand is still alive today. Not just alive but thriving!
WITH THE HIGHS COME THE LOWS AND OCCASIONALLY WE DO DROP THE BALL IN OUR EDITORIAL, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE AND AVOIDABLE. WITH A RECENT FLAW IN AN AMAZING STORY, WE FELT THE NEED TO RE-RUN THIS BEAUTIFUL ROLLING MEMORIAL ON PAGES 104-108. THIS 1948 CHEVY 3100 IS A MASTERPIECE IN ITS OWN RIGHT, AND THE MEMORIES IT HOLDS WILL DEFINITELY LAST A LIFETIME FOR THE RAMIREZ FAMILY.
ALSO IN THIS ISSUE, WE FEATURE TONY LEAL’S THIRD AMAZING 1964 MODEL TRUCK BUILD TO CONTINUE HIS EPIC COLLECTION. WHEN WE SAY THE DETAILS ARE EASY TO MISS, WE MEAN IT ON THIS ONE. EVERY INCH OF THIS CUSTOM ’64 FORD F-100 HAS BEEN PERFECTLY PLANNED OUT AND NO SINGLE BOLT HAS BEEN LEFT UNTOUCHED. IT’S ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS AND THIS WILL BE A MAJOR CONTENDER FOR TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2021!
FINALLY, CHECK OUT OUR BACK TO THE BASICS SERIES AS WE DO THE VERY FIRST MOD ON OUR 2001 CHEVY S10 XTREME. THE PERFECT PROJECT TRUCK FOR THE UP-AND-COMING TRUCK GUYS TO START OUT ON. WE INSTALL A WESTERN CHASSIS LOWERING KIT BEFORE MAKING SOME MEASUREMENTS AND ORDERING SOME NEW WHEELS. HAVE YOU YOUNGER GUYS BEEN READY TO START SOMETHING FUN? THESE TRUCKS ARE CHEAP, THEIR OEM REPLACEMENT
PARTS ARE AFFORDABLE AND SOMEWHAT EASY TO
INSTALL, AND THE AFTERMARKET IS FULL OF OPTIONS FOR UPGRADES LIKE NEW SUSPENSIONS AND POWER ADDERS!
