My 55.2 NAPCO Suburban is on the cover and there is a story on the history of NAPCO 4x4's. Vintage Truck Cover Story I think it has some good info for those trying to restore an old Chevy 4x4.

As for where the truck was "discovered", I went to the truck show at Macungie, PA last year with the Stovebolt crew and the editor of the magazine came up to me and his friend, John Milliman, and started asking questions. I think he owed John a favor and decided to do an article.
It reminds of the time that Milliman talked the judges into giving my truck the Best of Show trophy at his local show. I don't know why John hooks me up, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm glad I dragged the burb to Kansas City last year and got to meet a lot of you guys. I can finally put faces to names on the comments (Pete, Cletus, Joker, Scott and others). Thanks also to my local brothers and those I haven't met YET.
