Man oh man, summer is in full swing! And the temps aren’t holding anything back at the moment either haha. As we write this we’re gearing up for another HOT show season and some fantastic classic builds to bring you from coast to coast. As you might have noticed for this issue’s cover truck, we hit something a little different. It’s not everyday you see a badass lifted K5, especially not one built to this level of detail!

As you know by now, we strive to bring you ALL types of classic Bow Ties, from squares to Jimmys, and slammed and lifted K5s and everything in between. And although we generally fill these pages with some of the finest builds around, we also want to make sure we highlight some “Hometown Hero” builds as well. So for this issue we hunted down the perfect example of a mild garage build with some true numbers-matching heritage; making this classic the perfect example for our new “Hometown Heroes” section.

We’ll be featuring even more garage builds and how-tos as we keep bringing you the best of the best around. But if you want to see some more “Average Joe” and everyday style classics, and you have one that you think might just fit the bill here, send us some photos and info to alexandermediainc@gmail.com and let’s see if it might make it in an upcoming issue of your very favorite truck magazine on the stands! We love having reader interaction via email, through our socials or online at Motortopia.com (click the C10 Builders Guide tab to see more of your favorite C10 content and stay connected).

Keep on Truckin’, and we’ll see you out there!
