Heh heh. Well, I was around back then. It was a great mixture of originals to customs, all through the years (up to '72), and all sizes n shapes. The big thing back then for modifying was TPI/700r4 swaps and car front clips (on '50s trucks). Jim Sheckle (IIRC) in Ohio was the go-tp guy for those swaps. People were happy with how the 60-72s left the factory back then. Great tech articles. I wished it was monthly. Waiting two months was painful!

I've got issues from '98 through 2000, always used to look forward to getting them and always had great info in them too. We had the National Chevy/GMC Truck Association decal on our old '72 Blazer and I had one on my '74 K/20 before it finally crumbled away.
