I have to agree with you. RF's purchase of a AD truck with a stovebolt has added a lot of good reading to his magazine. I spent an hour or so last night reading through the dizzy upgrade the new tail lights and all the other stuff. I have been getting both classic truck magazines for a while and these projects have made me feel more apart of everything going on in the classic truck world.
I don't have an IFS, a 350 or an automatic transmission. I do have a dropped axle, warmed over 235 and a T5 conversion. It is good to know that these things will be covered too.

I just recieved my new issue yesterday, and it has a great article about rack and pinioin steering used on a stock front end, it eliminates the stock steering box and gives lots more room for headers etc. not to mention the power steering and the loss of that ole turn the wheel a half turn to just move the front wheels, looked like a real easy swap

Great mag for all types and caters mainly to restored or original with the occasional mild upgrade as well. They also publish Antique Power about farm tractors. For some reason I got one in the mail, very nicely done but unfortunately I am not into tractors.
