Finally received my “How to restore your 1967-1972 Chevy truck” from Kevin Whipps

I met Kevin Whipps a few years ago from this forum while building my truck. Kevin posted on the forum that he was putting together a book for our 1967-1972 Chevy trucks, and wanted to take pictures for his book. Two weeks later he was in my garage hanging out with me and my truck crew taking pics. The book is well worth the 5 year wait!

Thank you very much Kevin Whipps for selecting my truck for your cover! It’s a very well put together book with a lot of great pictures.

Yes. He had to switch it because the book is how to restore "CHEVYS" not GMCs

I hope it sells well with people turning to books so much less these days
